For further context twitter added a button that allows users to generate ai images using existing art posts from artists. It removes glaze and it basically reskins the artwork by using the existing work as a base. Twitter is no longer a safe space for art

Libraries host food drives, have reading challenges with certificates for free burgers & pizza to encourage kids to read, have lunch-at-the-library programs in the Summer, have seed lending libraries to help grow your own food…

Libraries are adamant our neighbors be fed, that they never go hungry 💛

Absolutely devastated to hear about Jane Goodall's passing. She was a champion in the field and for women biologists. She will be sorely missed, but her memory will live on to inspire generations of biologists and conservationists.

I don't want to sound like the kind of person who, back in the day said "Machines are taking our jobs", but I really think that AI is taking our souls. It undermines the human creativeity and in the process kills peoples lungs, drains the water and guzzles energy that further ruins the planet.

The Nation pulls NO punches, from @espiers.bsky.social

"There's no requirement to take part in this whitewashing campaign. Refusing to join in doesn’t make anyone a bad person. It’s a choice to write an obituary that begins “Joseph Goebbels was a gifted marketer and loving father to six children.”

The white Christian nationalist provocateur wasn’t a promoter of civil discourse. He preached hate, bigotry, and division

BREAKING: The House just passed its annual defense bill by a 231-196 margin, bringing the U.S. one step closer to spending $1 TRILLION a year on the military.

Reminder: The House took away Medicaid and SNAP in JULY because these programs were "too expensive.”

The U.S. Secretary of Energy does not know that electricity is energy.

At today’s press briefing, Trump was asked how long he plans to keep troops stationed in Washington, D.C., and what his plans are for Chicago. He didn’t give a direct answer. Instead, he said: “I really want to be appreciated.”

Every tyrant in history has sought to stifle criticism of himself and his regime.

But America was founded on criticism.

American democracy was built on dissent.

Every institution, group, firm, or individual that surrenders to Trump’s wanton tyranny invites more of it.

And the Supreme Court bows again.

Today, the Court ruled that Trump, and any future president, can fire members of the Consumer Product Safety Commission at will. That’s a federal agency Congress intentionally designed to be independent of political pressure.

Since January, Trump has:

- slashed billions from Medicaid, SNAP, & public broadcasting
- cut taxes for the ultra-rich
- gutted worker & consumer protections
- used his office to make himself richer
- turned America into a police state

He's burning the country to the ground.

Trump's budget gives ICE more funds than most countries' militaries.

ICE is now ramping up by offering signing bonuses.

Meanwhile, Trump is slashing education funding and closing the Dept. of Ed.

94% of teachers have spent their own money on school supplies.

Priorities.
