Ernest Hemingway once said:
In our darkest moments, we don’t need solutions or advice. What we yearn for is simply human connection—a quiet presence, a gentle touch. These small gestures are the anchors that hold us steady when life feels like too much.

One of the many things you can do is donate to climate champions running at every level of government.

State legislature, county council, weird statewide offices you've never heard of: they all matter and your contribution can make a big difference.

Seriously, if you want to actually help, get rid of your money. It is poisoning your brain and keeping you from seeing the way things truly are, just like it does for everyone. It’s a cognition-destroying burden. I’ll help, my cashapp and Venmo are both MagicSwordKing, pay off my student loans.

Wow, hard to imagine a world where rich people have access to the most expensive doctors and hospitals while the average person doesn't. Let's hope that Americans never have to worry about that happening.

NEW: Christopher Dawson won hundreds of millions in federal contracts, promising to help Native Hawaiians.

Documents suggest he pocketed the profits to invest in a beachfront horse farm and luxury homes.

With @civilbeat.bsky.social
He Spent Funds Meant for Native Hawaiians on Polo and Porsches. The Federal Government Failed to Stop Him.
A small business program allowed Christopher Dawson to win big contracts if he promised to uplift Native Hawaiians. Instead, federal prosecutors allege, he used the money to line his own pockets.

Celebrity chefs told Californians that PFAS-coated pans were “safe,” and successfully lobbied Gavin Newsom to veto a bill phasing them out

They didn’t mention they all sell PFAS-coated pans.

New joint investigation with @mirandagreen.bsky.social and @atmosmag.bsky.social is out:
Why are famous chefs fighting PFAS bans?
The answer, in retrospect, is obvious—and it’s part of a larger campaign to stop bans on Teflon cookware nationwide.

Marjorie Taylor Greene attacked, belittled, harassed, trolled, cursed at and stalked people she didn’t like

Yet she thinks of herself as a victim

This is an overarching theme in MAGA:

Blame everyone else. Attack them. It’s OK-they deserve it for what they did to you.

That’s why they love her

LESLEY STAHL: You contributed to the toxic culture. You were out there pounding, insulting people

MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: You've contributed to it as well

STAHL: I want you to respond to what you have done in terms of insulting people

MTG: I'd like for you to respond to that
