Close up photo of a group of Cladonia podetia. Each podetium is light grey in colour and shaped roughly like a golf tee. The top/bowl of each podetium is ringed with numerous small, roundish bright red blobs. These blobs are called apothecia - they are reproductive, spore producing structures.

All of our living presidents who still have a sense of decency gathered to honor Rev. Jesse Jackson.

I just left a concert fundraising for the National Immigrant Justice Center to head to Broadview.

Obama: "We are living in a time where it can be hard to hope. Each day we wake up to some new assault on our democratic institutions. Another setback to the idea of the rule of law ... but this man - Rev. Jesse Jackson - inspires us to take a harder path ... bc if we don't step up, nobody else will"

Say it plain: This is a terrible jobs report.

The U.S. economy lost 92,000 jobs in February, nearly double the expected loss of 50,000. It’s the third payroll decline in the past five months.

πŸ“ŒNote: This is one of the worst monthly payroll drops since Covid.

This sounds like a song from Phineas and Ferb. "It is not a party it's an intimate get together - Candace Party". It is not a war it is limited operation - Epstein War.

NBC News reports Mike Johnson's lame attempt to gaslight Americans into believing there is no Iran war. It's only a "mission."

U.S. forces actively attacking another country.

Iran responding militarily.

1200+ deaths in Iran so far.

U.S. troops killed in the conflict.

--NOT WAR?

Stupid is a synonym for libertarian as all of their arguments are illogical. They it the oxymoron of trying to be a Conservative Liberal. You are either progressive or you aren't.

The reason we have β€œstupid rules of engagement” is to make sure we don’t bomb elementary schools.

GB News extends losses despite revenue jump In new accounts filed for the year ending in May 2025, TV and radio broadcaster GB News said its loss amounted to just over Β£22m.

Hate-spreading propaganda platform, GB News continues to report losses despite increased viewing figures.
The channel announced a yearly loss of over 22m.
Hate and misinformation definitely comes at a price.

Three women interviewed under caution as part of Mohamed Al Fayed investigation The women have been interviewed under suspicion of aiding and abetting rape and human trafficking, the Met Police says.

Why does it always seem to be women who end up being punished for working for rich men who are sex offenders, while the men themselves get away with it and die without facing consequences? Does anyone think that an employee would stand up to these abusers?

Pretty difficult to refute a single thing in this perfect assessment of where the f**k we are, from @iandunt.bsky.social:

Trump fired Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and nominated Senator Markwayne Mullin to replace her.

Thank you to @legalmiga.bsky.social for the Thread on Mullin that inspired this video

The surprising vaccine side effects that can improve long-term health People often focus on the bad side effects of vaccines, but they can have some great side effects too, says columnist Michael Le Page. They don’t just protect us from contagious diseases but can also lower the risk of dementia and heart attacks

He doesn't have a brain. I taught at Exeter, Oxford and Westminster and I am a SFHEA and he is talking out of his arse. I have taught students from many backgrounds and he is just being an intellectual snob. I wish you every success - it definitely isn't just about A-levels.

Can we have an investigation of Vice-Chancellor's who are not capable of teaching students from diverse educational backgrounds because of their incompetence and privilege?

The only way for transgender people to just dispel these beliefs about us is positive visibility.

Though I was accepted within the confines of a maximum security prison in the year 2000, the outside world was & still is more of a problem.

So, even though Trump, in numerous interviews now, has called this a war in Iran, The Senate Republicans want to get cute and say it’s just β€œa special military operation”. This is literally what Vladimir Putin is doing in Russia to avoid calling what he’s doing in Ukraine as a war.
