It’s so telling that we have to explain in small words that vaccines don’t cause autism to an administration that wants to abolish the Department of Education

Can’t believe the whole country has to suffer through the return of Dickensian childhood diseases because the worst, most ignorant attention-demanders decided other people’s expertise makes them feel bad

It occurs to me, and I'm sure I'm not the only one, that what is happening with the ultra rich oppressing and exploiting everyone else is a mirror of what humans have done to the earth.

Each of us needs to be asking what more we can do RIGHT NOW because our government is failing us & failing the planet. Can you: drive less or go car free? Replace fossil fuel heating? Eat less or no meat? Take fewer plane trips? Every single person can do SOMETHING #climateemergency
If we don't rapidly phase out fossil fuels, we can say goodbye to coral reefs, the Greenland and Antarctic icesheets, and permafrost. The results will not be pretty.
3 massive changes you'll see as the climate careens toward tipping points
Scientists are increasingly concerned that the planet is headed for massive, irreversible changes due to global warming. In some cases, those changes have already begun.

It is beyond comprehension that there are certain humans in the world that take great pleasure in murdering these magnificent animals. Why would anyone find joy in this way?

Trump’s lies about grocery prices are the one set of his lies that have never concerned me. It’s the one subject where it doesn’t matter how much he lies about it, he fools absolutely no one who shops for groceries. Something which, incidentally, he has never done in his life.

I usually don't share these videos, but honestly, this one really shows the fear in them the moments before they die. Absolutely heart breaking. So happy that I gave up meat 15 years ago. It's never too late!

Unfortunately, Michelle Obama is correct. The US is not ready for a female president.
It was ready for an authoritarian ignorant unqualified felonious bigoted sexual abusing buffoon…but not a woman.
