Which one resonates with you?

Jon Corsiglia @joncors.bsky.social · 3d

1️⃣ Second American Revolution - a movement to restore the promise of liberty and equality.

2️⃣ New Independence Movement – freeing our nation from the tyranny of greed and corruption.

3️⃣ Democracy Rebellion – a peaceful uprising of citizens who refuse to surrender America to authoritarian rule.

A wide shot captures a vast crowd of diverse people standing hand-in-hand in a grassy field, under a bright sky. In the background, a large American flag with subtle green and golden stripes woven into it waves proudly from a tall flagpole. Beyond the flag, a winding river leads to a distant city skyline nestled among rolling green hills. Many people in the foreground hold up signs with messages like "RENEW AMERICA," "DIGNITY FOR ALL," "UNITY & FREEDOM," and "OUR REPUBLIC REBORN." The overall atmosphere is one of peaceful unity and hope.

All these little mountain towns are choked with cars in October and I have a wild Hallmark movie idea of opening an ebike rental in one of them 😂

Scientists found an ocean microbe sugar that makes cancer cells explode via pyroptosis 💥🧬 A natural compound that kills tumors + boosts immunity—proof that nature holds powerful cures 🌊🌱 #CancerResearch #OceanScience #NatureHeals #BiotechBreakthrough

Cancer cells go up in flames—thanks to this deep-sea sugar

Scientists have discovered a sugar compound from deep-sea bacteria that can destroy cancer cells in a dramatic way. This natural substance, produced by microbes living in the ocean, causes cancer cells to undergo a fiery form of cell death, essentially making them self-destruct. In lab tests and in mice with liver cancer, the compound not only stopped tumors from growing, but also activated the immune system to fight back. This finding could pave the way for entirely new cancer treatments based on sugars from marine organisms.

Used EV batteries may hold far greater value than initially expected. The team aims to ensure components are given a second life, either as parts in batteries needing service and repair, or repurposed for energy storage systems with a lifespan of up to 15 additional years.

By 2028, renewable energy is expected to constitute 37.4% of the U.S. utility-scale generation capacity, with solar and wind leading the growth.

Solar and wind combined contributed over 98% of all new electrical capacity installed in the U.S. in January 2025

Since solar and wind energy now cost less than oil and gas, some Democrats think the way to beat Big Oil is by building better, faster, cheaper alternatives, which just happen to be cleaner and stronger.
