I really don't think most people appreciate how much damage air pollution does to our bodies & brains. Even in the last 10 years the science has progressed a ton & everything it has discovered is *grim*.

seattletimes.comA remarkable new picture is emerging of how the air around us could harm the brainResearchers discovered that some particles had penetrated deep into the brain, reaching the amygdala, a region that helps shape emotion and memory.

Utter disgrace. These are criminals living on professional corruption of our tax dollars and the lives of Ukrainians.

Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff to Vladimir Putin today: “You talk so much about Trump being a humanitarian, you are a humanitarian also, sir. And I salute that. I commend you.”

But between crap like this, endless fundraising texts that drive supporters away with spammy fake deadlines and trash "match" claims, scam PACs run rampant for firms to grift without actually supporting candidates,

Enjoyed seeing this woman's work. Sustainability isn't just about producer decisions, but also consumer decisions, namely their willingness to repair things when needed. This type of repair is easier on natural fibers, rather than stretch fabrics. Consider that when shoppping. IG loosethreadsrepair

One of the odd things about the current era is that sometimes the simplest, or even least important cases, become the best ways to understand it. Here, a Federal Judge has lost all patience because the DOJ has consistently and shamelessly lied to her about a... renovation of a public golf course.

At 10am Judge Ana Reyes will begin an evidentiary hearing in the golf course case at 10am. I'll try to live-blog from the US Courthouse media room for @lawfaremedia.org . This is a case to stop Trump from converting a historic public golf course, open to all, to a Trump style championship course.

Trump waiving sanctions against Russia is the most predictable thing ever. The silence of some GOP elected officials is likewise the most predictable thing. Throw the trash out in November. This isn’t funny anymore

Fuck Elon Musk. Fuck Donald Trump. Traitors to this country. Traitors to the free world.👇

TELEGRAPH: Trump & Musk conspired to throttle Starlink and make Ukraine more vulnerable to Russian attacks — then Musk tried to blame only Trump. Putin wins again, as usual. Russia was never a hoax. www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2...

NEW: Dem Gov nominee Phil Weiser rolls out endorsements from current/former Colorado GOP officials. Noteworthy are fmr US Rep/Colorado GOP Chair Ken Buck, fmr AG Cynthia Coffman, and fmr House Speaker Russ George (big name on Western Slope)

David Brooks out there saying we shouldn't call these people Nazis.

This is exactly what ICE said: "Parra-Hernandez ran in front of an ICE vehicle and was struck." Now watch the video. They're no other word for it: They're lying.

Watch an ICE agent run down and then run over a man. The man was was then writhing on the ground, saying "You broke my leg! You broke my leg!" Agents didn't help him. And btw, the man wasn't the target of their operation.

In an age where it seems like money is everything, it’s refreshing to have Cleveland and Tampa in the ALCS demonstrating that quality can’t just be bought

NEW: As Colorado’s Tina Peters reportedly meets with President Trump to discuss an election “plan,” her attorney says the plan involves seizing ballots nationwide and discusses strategy for a potential civil war

Look how fucking brazen the lies from Advance Colorado, the right wing dark money group are in this mail they're sending to Democrats. Every single claim on this mailer is the opposite. Every single one. They even use EQUITABLE to try to trick our DUMB WOKE ASSES into voting for their bullshit.

A frustration as a Guardian's fan, we are never the popular big market team but we are also never the Cinderella team. I feel happy for the white Sox fans who have earned some joy, but boy howdy, 1948 was a real long time ago. Now we get to watch everyone cheer for the White Sox to beat us.

I feel very happy for White Sox fans who have definitely earned some joy.

Amendment 87 would tax Coloradans making $500k+ a year. Opponents including Gov Jared Polis (D) are misleadingly claiming it will raise taxes on low-income seniors and vets.

Oil and Gas Companies and Interest Groups are going after people doing research which threaten their profits by supporting climate work.

We live in a post truth world. It's great this is getting called out. It must be. But what's spreading on X and Fox News?

🤡 Schmitt beclowns himself 🤡 Schmitt concocted an elaborate conspiracy theory that Smith traveled to Atl for a Hawks game and to collude with Fani Willis, & flashed his "evidence" before accusing Smith of perjury. There's just one problem -- his facts were totally wrong. Here's the whole sequence:

This. It has always been this. A sitting American president did this. And because he did this, he should have been convicted and put behind bars. And the fact that we never held him accountable for these crimes will forever stain this country. And we may never recover from it.👇

Jack Smith: "History teaches that the rule of law is rarely destroyed all at once. It's often weakened by attacks on the institutions and the public servants sworn to uphold it. Since January 2025, we have witnessed precisely such an effort."

Floods don’t ask for your passport. Droughts don’t care about your politics. Heatwaves don’t check your race or income. Climate change is the definition of a global crisis. It will only be solved by global leadership that puts people and planet above short-term politics. Let’s demand it.

Please stop overestimating what a democratic Congress can do. The oligarchs are spending money to make you think a Dem Congress can arrest people and hold trials and pass laws without a POTUS signature so that you’ll be disappointed when they don’t do stuff they can’t do. Don’t fall for it.

Climate Change is a Now problem. It's not something that will happen in 100, 50, or even 15 years, it's happening now and this is just the start.
