Some 100 Jewish organization leaders sign a letter accusing Elon Musk of making the social media platform formerly known as #Twitter, a “breeding ground for some of the most dangerous antisemitic discourse in America.” https://www.xouthate.org/

Another simple example. I 3D printed two custom dice trays for my lap desk. I lined each one with leather to keep the dice from bouncing out.

This one did require some careful planning to get the curves right. I printed a custom cutting jig to do that.

Two weeks in a row Trump gets horribly confused. Last week he says he beat Obama (twice in same speech). Yesterday he talks about beating a Bush who served in military and got US into Iraq war. He confused GW Bush with Jeb. This is why he is not doing debates. Yet corporate media ignores this! https://youtu.be/T5-00-4phnI

It would be nice if taking to the streets could fix everything, but that's not how movement works.

The street is where we find each other.

The organizing (and winning) is what happens in the years after.

It's not as sudden or as sexy.

But that doesn't mean it's failure.

Journalists: Trump is a fascist. He wants to rule the United States as an unaccountable dictator. Given the Republican Party's broad contempt for civil liberties and the rule of law, this could happen.

Your necessary role in political coverage of the upcoming elections is to be activists in defense of democracy.

When the hell are you going to wake up and realize that?

Physicist John Tyndall is often credited w discovering the greenhouse effect, which he wrote about in 1859.

But Eunice Foote published a paper - 3yrs earlier - demonstrating how atmospheric water vapor & CO2 affected solar heating. She theorized that heat trapping gases in Earth’s atmosphere warm its climate.

Tyndall was widely read. And Foote, being a woman, wasn't even permitted to present her own work. http://www.climate.gov/news-features/features/happy-200th-birthday-eunice-foote-hidden-climate-science-pioneer #history #science #ClimateChange

In order to become a billionaire, you have to steal a thousand $ each from a million people. It really is that simple.

There is no way to “honestly earn” that kind of money.

#NASA has sworn in Charity Weeden as associate administrator for NASA’s Office of Technology, Policy, and Strategy.

Look very closely at the book she's swearing in on.

Very easy

Let’s not forget what Kevin McCarthy and the GOP choose to spend time and resources on this month: a baseless impeachment inquiry against Joe Biden and attacks upon the Justice Department for doing its job.

Instead of passing the budget they already agreed to this spring, they waste time and taxpayer money doing the bidding of extremists within their ranks, all while careening toward yet another government shutdown.

We must vote them out next fall. As many as we possibly can.

September 2023, Brasstown, North Carolina, USA. Last hurrah of the flower garden at the John C. Campbell Folk School in the Appalachian Mountains. This was one of my views every day for a week. Lucky me!

There were ghosts upon the road.

A gender clinic that fought back against a ban on gender-affirming care in Missouri is under fresh attack from the viciously anti-trans attorney general of the state.

Andrew Bailey claims Southampton Community Healthcare doesn't conduct comprehensive psychological assessments before treating patients with gender dysphoria.

Some reports have claimed this is based on admissions of representatives from the clinic, but that is not in the filing. #trans #news
