During its July 2025 Prime Day event, Amazon shipped an estimated 450 million items. What it fails to report about its Prime Day operations, however, are the guaranteed spikes in carbon emissions that will linger in the atmosphere for centuries.

Johnson: "He has defunded our education system. He has defunded our transportation system. He's firing black women across this country. He's defunding our healthcare system. This president is absolutely out of control... Chicago is going to stand firm in protecting humanity."

endlessly embarrassing that the powers that be here banned Link. just disqualifying.

My cousin died of an asthma attack on Thanksgiving a few years ago. Asthma is still deadly but people don’t remember how it used to send kids to the ER on a regular basis bc now we have such good meds to treat it - like this type of inhaler.

I'd be wishing a speedy recovery to Dolly from a hangnail. The woman is a national treasure, one of the best humans on earth, and also one of the most badass musician/songwriters to ever do it.

I don't do the prayer thing, but if you would, Gabe, send up an extra one for me.

Just in case.

And we were praying too and gonna keep praying! We can't lose Dolly tight now. Not right now. 😥

💛💛💛 God save Dolly 💛💛💛

If the National Governors Association chooses to remain silent, Illinois will have no choice but to withdraw from the organization.

We should be standing as one against the idea that Donald Trump can call up the National Guard against our will.

Be careful @pushinguproses.bsky.social

Whoa

The idea that someone has to continually talk them out of racism is a huge part of the problem. And by continually, i mean generation after generation.

We have to do this because the country is set up to support, encourage perpetual racism.

"We're gonna crash some planes if you don't fund ICE."

"Half naked"? So girls in bikinis?

I think *I've* seen him with pictures of girls in bikinis. What does this prove?
