Emissions are not distributed equally. Just 5% of power plants generate 75% of power sector emissions; 12% of people consume half the beef produced; 2% of aviation emissions come from the 0.003% who are (private jet users; etc.

What a great opportunity for targeted reductions!

We are at war. Trump wants to end our freedoms. It's time for Democratic leaders to grasp that. They need to use every legal means available to vocally push back including creating a shadow cabinet like in the UK. My new article deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/elie-mysta...

A Tennessee woman is studying to be a nurse and works nights cleaning buildings. ICE recently deported her husband, leaving her alone with three kids and another child on the way. She's about to lose her car and home. Would you consider donating to help?

RFK Jr. says there are no autistic poets, so we interviewed one.

Hear from Elizabeth McClellan, @popelizbet.bsky.social, an award-winning poet, attorney, and legal educator based in Memphis, Tennessee.
RFK Jr. says there aren't autistic poets. We asked an autistic poet.

Thank you for all that you do Bernie!
Instead of stealing Greenland from Denmark, let’s steal some of their policies.

In Denmark:

- Health care and college are free.  

- The starting wage is $22/hr.

- Paid parental leave is 1 year.

- Paid vacation is 6 weeks.  

- All workers get pensions.

What else did people expect!? Insanity
Robert F. Kennedy’s Jr. war on vaccines just landed another major blow as the secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services successfully forced one of the nation’s top vaccine officials out of his position.
“Spiraling deeper and deeper into danger”: RFK Jr. forces out top vaccine official
“It has become clear that truth and transparency are not desired by the secretary, but rather he wishes subservient confirmation of his misinformation and lies."
