The pearl octopus (Muusoctopus robustus) mates and nests in deep-sea thermal springs, where the warm water seeping from the seafloor accelerates the development of their embryos.⁠

PM Carney announces Charter of Rights to be renamed Charter of Optional Ideas

This is when every Canadian should be personally contacting the Prime Minister of Canada requesting clarification on how this is possibly environmentally friendly & that as a part owner of Canada you do not agree with fossil fuels. There are over 43 million of us it’s time to use our voices I have

Being Jamie Lee @beingjamielee.bsky.social · 11h

I thought we voted for a more environmentally responsible Canada and a movement away from fossil fuels, did I miss something?

As Canada blows way past its international GHG commitments, Carney offers up a massive new pipeline for the tar sands to Trump.
This is the - Let's not fight, we can burn the planet together approach to international relations.

I have already contacted the Liberal Party to withdraw my financial support and explain why. I have contacted my MP about the bills Carney pushed through and must get back on the phone soon when time permits. We all must do our part.

Same here, this was not in his policy plans (as far as I understood) and his history shows more care for the environment than suggested by this knee bending!

Yes I do.
Yes, there was but now I've had time to see him in action.
Give me a mo to form that in a tweet.

What is "plenary authority" and why is it a big deal that Miller said that Trump has it over the national guard?

4 frame comic where Miller slowly blinks. Text reads. A few hours ago, speaking on cnn about Trump's plan to send the national guard into us cities, Miller said : under title 10 of the us code, the president has plenary authority, has... He then fully stopped talking and just blinked at the camera, as if he realized that he said the quiet part out loud. "Plenary authority" means "complete power over a particular area with no limitayions". It is equivalent to ruling by decree, which us how Mussolini, Stalin or Hitler governed. Having "plenary authority" over the military would mean that Trump can just use the national guard as he pleases, no matter what the courts say. It's a power grab.

1. In a devastating new Pew Research Survey, only 3 in 10 transgender adults report being accepted by their parents.

And only 1 in 10 say they are accepted by their extended family.

This is the lowest number ever found in surveys asking similar questions.

"What is fascism?"

Throughout history, each iteration of fascism came with its own particularities. Political theorist R. Griffin posits that the one thing they have in common is palingenetic ultranationalism. (Picture : Mussolini giving a speech) Palingenetic ("born again in ancient greek) ultranationalism is a far right narrative that frames the nation as decadent, as having lost its way, as being betrayed by dark elites. To save it, it needs to be destroyed, then reborn. (Picture: Trump giving a speech in front of a MAGA flag) with that goal in mind, an authoritarian power with divisive rhetoric channelsbthe population's anger towards a scapegoat demonized outgroup: migrants, religion, sexual and gender minorities... (picture : three masked ICE agents are handling someone.) Fascism is like a chameleon : it constantly adapts to eras and cultures. It is vital to learn to identify it and call it out.
