@AlliFlowers I'm a huge admirer of Jane Goodall, have been since she first appeared on the scene; have been since. If I had a flag I would lower it.

It is time for #JBPritzker to order the #NationalGuard to protect #protesters from the #Trump #Stormtroopers.

IL Gov JB Pritzker has shared that Trump called him to demand he activate the National Guard in Illinois, or Trump will activate the National Guard himself.

Illinois is at 310 per 100K in violent crime rate, well below the national average of 374 per 100K.

Meanwhile red states have a 40% higher murder rate than do blue states.

Trump isn't pushing national security, he's pushing fascist autocracy.

Gov. JB Pritzker says President Trump intends to call up 300 Illinois National Guard members over objections

Kat Abughazaleh: "Kristi Noem should have consequences - she should be tried at The Hague. What we are seeing from her operation are crimes against humanity. If this is what ICE operations entail, they should not be an agency in the United States."

@AlliFlowers yes!!! And I want a world where scientists are celebrated with a gala more impressive than Hollywood awards ceremonies

@AlliFlowers I remember the media trashing and victim blaming Dian Fossey after she was killed. She was "too aggressive" in her advocacy for mountain guerillas. Murdered for daring to be a woman in STEM.

@AlliFlowers

damned skippy. Marvelous idea.

@AlliFlowers Ms Goodall was the ultimate! How we, as humans, basically ignored her work or gave it little importance is why we are where we are today. Your mime is perfect.

"BLEED THEM DRY!"

"I've spoken with multiple Aure Free Press sources in Ukraine and Russia, who are confident in stating that up to 40% of Russia's oil refineries have been hit and taken off line.“

40%!

Russia is so desperate that they are today IMPORTING gas from neighboring countries for the Russian population.

There‘s one thing Hegseth and Trump probably get right though: Their own military REALLY does not have much respect for them. Why should they? A culture of fear won‘t change that.

On top of just the visibility -- "Hey!! I've got an idea!! Let's make Jack Ciattarelli's ties to Trump really toxic!!!" -- neither Vought nor Senators seem to know which cuts are ostensibly "real" cuts and which are cuts bc of the shutdown (both of which would be illegal).

When I ran for office in 2024 (NC Commissioner of Agriculture), I ran on a platform of "We need to stop making our state's farms all about cheap bulk crops for China."

I said it a little nicer than that. But there's a reason that was my platform.
