House Republicans introduced an amendment to a military spending bill banning diversity, equity and inclusion programs

The bill passed 214 to 213

Rep Steven Horsford called them out—specifically Matt Gaetz

“What are you so afraid of? Why do you keep bringing these divisive issues to the body of this floor? You are exhausting, Mr Gaetz!”

Trans people signed up for military service at a rate more than double that of the cis community

Republicans do not stand with our troops

The "here whenever Twitter breaks" phenomenon is weird.

It's like a school friend who only wants to play with you when their bestie isn't about.

And they expect you to be excited.

And their bestie is a neo-Nazi.

Same week as the hottest temperatures ever recorded on earth. Flying is a direct cause of the current accelerating collapse of our ecosystems and ability to produce food around the world. We can choose to recognize this and act now. We can choose to divest.

Climate response is up to us. Local response, local mitigation, local adaptation in our own communities.

At 1.4 trillion, more photos were taken in 2019 than in the entire 20th Century

In 2023, it’s estimated we’ll take 1.8 trillion photos

90% of all photos ever taken were taken since 2000

Since 2000, we’ve taken about 2,000 photos for every child, woman and man on planet

We’re storing about 10 trillion photos in the Cloud

Most of them will never be looked at again.

To deal with CO2 caused by photos between 2000 and 2020, you’d need to plant about 675 million trees

Nazis used to have to go to sketchy fundraising websites like Chuck C. Johnson’s now-defunct wesearchr. Now they have the owner of Twitter handing them big piles of cash just for being Nazis.

You're going to read about the climate heat using these "normal" words but the temp above too hot, is death.

It doesn't just feel hot, it kills. Thats how hot climate "warming" gets.

"In Palm Springs — where Friday's high temperature was forecast to hit 116 degrees — many homeless people left to contend with the heat on their own.

"I don't know how anyone can do it," he said. "I feel so bad . . . there's not much I can do."

Build sun, wind. All of it, NOW
