Reading the Georgia indictment is “to bear witness to how determined Trump was to overturning the election, how many people were willing to help, and how much they were willing to do to try and make that reality happen.”

Half of people regularly tweeting about the climate and nature crises abandoned Twitter after it was taken over by Elon Musk, according to new analysis.
The researchers said Twitter, now renamed X, had previously been the leading social media platform for environmental discussion and the decline was “troubling”.

Rufus Xavier Sarsparilla is all grown up & still a regular at my backyard feeder. These photos were taken this morning through my back window & shows em in the willow tree--a favorite perch of eirs near the feeder.
Rufus has adopted this wonderfully enby colorway (possibly female, as they run greener than the usually all-orange males; a friend I checked with, however, said that where we live rufous males also sometimes eschew the full orange). Anyway, always love to see em! #RXSarsparilla

Arkansas Took Away Credit for Ap African American Courses
Just months after Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders decided to follow in Ron DeSantis’ footsteps by signing bills that severely limit what educators can teach, the state’s Education Department has removed course credit for an AP African American Studies class. The Education Department’s communications director, Kimberly Mundell, has verified that the course won’t qualify for early college credit this upcoming…

Always helpful to note that we’ve had 46 U.S. Presidents, and they’ve been indicted on a total of 91 felony charges. Here’s how it breaks down:
1-44: 0
45: 91
46: 0

The multiple Trump indictments are a harsh reminder that none of this would have been necessary if law enforcement -- federal, state, and local -- had held this slimeball accountable for his crimes in New York over the decades.
One reason they didn't is that our top "news" media organizations treated him like a celebrity. They mostly ignored what a crook he was -- and that extended well into his presidency.
When the prosecutors and the journalists collaborate in this evil way, evil prevails.

When companies claim they have a labor shortage, what that means is:
“We exploit our workers and refuse to pay them a living wage.”

Our world will never get better - and will likely only get worse - until the day we realise that #politics is not the way 'to make a better world for humanity' or whatever we get told since birth, but just a game created by and for the ruling class, so they can keep their status in this system unchallenged - along with the benefits they gain, at the expense of the rest of us.

It is OK to say, “I don’t know,” when asked what do you think.

Each year in the mid summer months, bark lice encase tree trunks in the Houston area with giant, silky webs, bringing Halloween vibes to the area early. Despite their ghastly appearance, the Texas A&M Forest Service says that they're good for trees.

"The Georgia prosecution will interact with Jack Smith’s ongoing investigation in interesting ways. To explain how, I want to first show that the indictment is, fundamentally, about protecting the integrity of Georgia’s government and elections. To see that, it helps to read counts 2 through 41 before reading the RICO charge, which is laid out in 70 pages describing 161 overt acts, many of which took place outside of Georgia."

In Montana, It’s Youth vs. the State in a Landmark Climate Case
Sixteen young Montanans have sued their state, arguing that its support of fossil fuels violates the state Constitution.

KALISPELL, Mont. — Badge and Lander Busse tromped into the forest behind their house on a snowy Sunday in March, their three hunting dogs in tow. It was in these woods, just outside Glacier National Park, that the teenage boys learned to hunt, fish, dress a deer and pick birdshot from Hungarian partridges.
It was also here that the Busse boys grew attuned to the signals of a rapidly warming planet — torrential rains that eroded their hiking trails, wildfires that scarred the land, smoke so thick it forced them indoors.
Watching their cherished wilderness succumb to the effects of climate change enraged...
