“I’m old. I’ve paid my home off,” said Ray Warner, a 72-year-old Akron resident. “Why would I pay property tax?”

You cannot have endless extraction on a planet with fixed boundaries.
Soil depletes.
Water tables dry up.
Ecosystems collapse.
True sustainability isn't about doing the wrong things slightly better; it’s about redefining what "progress" looks like.
This week, the House passed the Don’t Say Trans bill (& pushed forward the CHARLIE Act)
All 209 Republicans & Dem Reps Fields (LA), Davis (NC), Gillen (NY), Kaptur (OH), Cuellar & González (TX), Vindman (VA) & MGP (WA) have betrayed their constituents by voting for this hateful piece of legislation
One of the sure signs of the death of a software project after getting acquired is if the new owners are so spectacularly unimaginative that they rename it "<something> 360"
I beg “No Kings” Americans to discuss a general strike.
Break your economy. You can’t be serious about ending this regime while you keep spending disposable income and propping up the economy as a consumer.
You wanna break it? Stop buying new things. Repair things. Buy used. Don’t eat at chains.
Hey #entomology bluesky. Pls halp. I'm in the ohio valley, it's in the mid-thirties (F) outside. On the way to the grocery, we found a BEE (we think) on the windshield, sitting there, not smashed. Brought it in the car, it seemed dead but I was skeptical - and it's NOT #bees#insects
Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him.
White. Hot. Rage.
THEY WILL NOT BREAK US
THEY CAN NOT BREAK US
THEY DIDN'T BRING ENOUGH GUYS
FOR EVERY ONE OF US THEY TAKE, ONE HUNDRED MORE TAKE TO THE STREETS
THERE WILL FOREVER BE MORE OF US THAN OF THEM
THEY STAND FOR NOTHING, WE STAND FOR EACH OTHER
THEY WILL REGRET COMING HERE
MINNEAPOLIS WILL WIN
fear.
they need to demonstrate that resistance is worse than useless, that it will be broken, and that their agents have impunity regardless of their actions.
Never stop talking about the Epstein Files.

Once again: Focusing on their lack of training is a mistake. With "better training," their violence would simply cost more, and they would still kill whoever they wanted, but make it look more professional — to make people more comfortable, the way many of you are at ease with local police violence.

We've fed her some sugar water with a few drops of fresh orange, and she's increasingly perky. But... is it a honey bee? Then how, why? How was she and the whole hive not dormant? We have no way to know where the hive is, and we're heading into the big winter storm. Can we keep her alive?
The reactionary centrist logic is simple: if the left does something bad it’s the left’s fault, and if the right does something bad, it’s also the left’s fault for making them do it. It’s a simple formula and once you see it every one of their arguments is the same
Checked in on X. The 3rd post I see is Stephen Miller, the 5th some chud babbling about crisis actors, 6th Elon Musk being a WS, 7th someone trying to spin this to be Nicole Good's fault. I have never interacted with or followed any people like this.
It's a full tilt fascist propaganda bullhorn
Pastor: I saw ICE agents circling a young woman who appeared to be Hispanic. I said, 'Take me, stop harassing her.' The next thing I knew, they put handcuffs on me and put me in the back of an SUV. I asked if I was under arrest. They said to me, 'Well, you're white, you won't be any fun anyway.'
Correcting the claims in this post with facts is not only pointless but counterproductive
This is unadultered fascism and fact-checking it won't defeat as Trump and co don't care about being right factually, they care about power
These pointless "debates" only serve them as they distract us
Don't listen to fearmongers online who say stuff like "everything is backdoored! privacy is over there's nothing you can do!"
That's not true. Every small step you take, like getting a password manager, switching most conversations to Signal instead of SMS, using a reputable VPN, etc makes a diff
