Americans’ Social Security benefits will have to be cut by roughly a quarter in six years due to depleted funds, according to a June report from the Social Security Board of Trustees. That’s months sooner than the group had estimated in 2025. to.pbs.org/4f39DL0

They want to break up the Forest Service and move the pieces around until nobody can tell who's responsible for what. A hundred and ninety-three million acres. Yours. Held for a hundred and twenty years. You can't undo this one in four years. One click: actionnetwork.org/letters/tell-c…

If future historians exist (& that’s a pretty precarious IF) they’ll write endlessly about the psychological conditioning that left BILLIONS of people feeling ‘powerless’ when a handful of elite psychopaths decided to trade a liveable planet for a bit more meaningless wealth.

The minimum wage, child labor laws, worker safety laws, the 5 day work week, overtime pay, and unions were all created to protect us from capitalism and its exploitation of workers.

To whom it may concern and to everyone else as well,

Joy Reid: “You’ve been spending a decade insisting Elon Musk is genius. When you hear him talk you realize he’s actually an idiot. You keep telling them, ‘But he invented Tesla,’ when he didn’t, he just bought it. Two other white dudes invented Tesla, they’re geniuses. Elon just bought it and now people think he’s a genius. No, he’s not”

Let me explain wildfires and climate change for the slow learners in the back. More heat means thirstier air. ♦ Carbon emissions trap heat globally. ♦ Hotter air acts like a sponge. ♦ It sucks moisture out of plants. ♦ It sucks moisture out of soil. ♦ Dry plants turn into perfect tinder Fire seasons are now longer. ♦ Snow melts much earlier in spring. ♦ Autumn rains arrive much later now. ♦ The dry period lasts weeks longer. ♦ Longer dry periods mean more fires. Bugs are making it worse. ♦ Warmer winters fail to kill pests. ♦ Pine beetles are multiplying rapidly now. ♦ Pests kill millions of forest trees. ♦ Dead trees create massive fuel piles. Extreme weather creates spark triggers. ♦ Climate change shifts atmospheric jet streams. ♦ This causes more frequent dry lightning. ♦ It also creates much stronger winds. ♦ Winds fan tiny sparks into infernos. Climate change is the amplifier. ♦ Campfires and arson still start fires. ♦ Human carelessness triggers the initial spark. ♦ But climate change prepares the fuel. ♦ It turns small fires into monsters. You're welcome.

The Rio Grande is the beating heart of Big Bend National Park. This is the plain truth for Big Bend's ecology, recreational use and cultural history. Water is life in the desert. If you know Big Bend at all then you know this. And bulldozers are rapidly closing in on it.

@LaikenJordahl Stop with the alarmism. Big Bend National Park is not going to be destroyed. The park is much more than the river.

It's really astonishing to me how the richest person in the world is not only an insecure loser, but he is somehow equally boring and unlikable as shit. Like at least most evil billionaires will have a *little* charisma, but Musk is truly just a black hole of all positive traits.

Absolute crash out from Musk after he’s presented with the reality that many, many people fucking hate him

Let me repeat for those in the back: If you were Jeffrey Epstein’s very best friend for about 20 years, made 4,725 wire transfers to Epstein totalling more than $1.1 billion and are mentioned in the Epstein files a million times, I’m pretty sure you’re a child-raping pedophile.

Russ Vought set out to ensure a second Trump term would not be hampered by checks and balances: “I don’t want President Trump having to lose a moment of time having fights in the Oval Office about whether something is legal or doable or moral.” propublica.org/article/russ-v…

18 months. $5 trillion fucking dollars in 18 months. And we still don't have healthcare. And they gutted education. And food assistance. And food safety, and clean air, and clean water. And cut 300k federal jobs. Where the actual fuck is that new spending actually going?

They're the largest living things on Earth. Some of them have been standing since before Rome was a republic. 🌳 Now Congress wants to "save" them. By logging them. It's called the "Save Our Sequoias Act." And it does the opposite of what it says. S. 4103 just passed the House and sits in the Senate right now, and it would let logging companies cut down mature, thousand year old sequoias, no limit on how many, no limit on their size or age. It does this by carving out a new exemption from the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), our bedrock law requiring environmental review and public input before major logging projects. It wouldn't stop at the groves. The bill also amends the Wilderness Act itself, opening the door to human intervention (planting, "vegetation control," possible roads) inside land that's supposed to stay untouched by law. This applies inside Yosemite. Inside Sequoia and Kings Canyon. Inside the Giant Sequoia National Monument. Inside land Congress designated as Wilderness specifically to keep humans out. Who do you trust more to keep a 2,000 year old tree alive? The forest that's survived every fire for two millennia, or a logging company with a 3,000 acre permit and no one watching? 🌳 What are your thoughts? Sound off below👇 #DemsUnited

Huge: Federally contracted archeologist admits that DHS is bulldozing “known documented archeological sites” for the border wall and there’s nothing he can do to stop them. He says “we have no clue what the fuck they’re bulldozing through… somebody should know what’s going on.”

Salmonella in the eggs. Flesh-eating screwworms in the meat. Diarrhea lettuce. Smoke in the air. Forever chemicals in the soil. Data center pollution in our water. Handing Saudi Arabia nuclear technology. A war over a strait that was already open. $5 gas. Expensive groceries. Skyrocketing healthcare costs. Crushing utility bills. Are we great yet?

AOC on why men put women like her in nonconsensual deepfake AI porn “What these abusers are trying to do is make an example of women who are in the public eye in order to discourage women everywhere from standing in their own light.”

Priorities.

"We have a company working to record the comings and goings of every single person in the country." Backlash is growing across the United States to Flock, maker of surveillance cameras that feed into a massive nationwide database used by police forces and ICE to track people.

Over 500,000 workers organized, stood up, and DEMANDED power in the last year alone. With 16.5 MILLION workers now backed by a union, a 16 year high, the modern labor movement is officially unstoppable. Collective power gets results. Every single worker deserves a UNION!
