@barackobama.bsky.social "Reverend Jesse Louis Jackson inspires us to take a harder path. His voice calls on each of us to be heralds of change, to be messengers of hope, to step forward."

Indigenous ocean voices are still being marginalised Despite progress and strong advocacy, some say local inclusion in ocean decisions is often still merely performative

Ask yourself: who is actually being heard in ocean conservation? Are they the voices of people who’ve stewarded the ocean for millennia? Too often, no. In @dialogueearth.bsky.social, @taotaotasi.bsky.social notes a hard truth: Indigenous leaders are often invited to speak—but not to decide. 🌊

I have evolved into my final form: UN Sustainable Development Goal Jesus. Amen.

It's unpatriotic for the Trump administration to intentionally censor and rewrite Black history on National Park Service sites. Black history is American history.

‘Z’? ‘Zo’? ‘Mam’? A New Mayor Needs a Nickname.

Trump opens his #SOTU address by noting we are about to celebrate the nation’s 250th birthday.
Sadly, he is governing the nation as a king, abusing the rule of law and destroying democracy.

In the immortal words of George W Bush:

That was some weird shit

Imagine if it was Obama giving this inspiring historical reflection -- instead of the guy who sounds like a three year old pooping his pants

I'm a fair guy

I'm not against everything Trump does:

--We can keep our shoes on at TSA now

It's a short list

I liked seeing the two WW2 vets recognized

I'm bored

The filibuster to delay the release of the Trump-Epstein files is about to enter its third hour

You know who else has murdered innocent protestors?

90 minutes in and still no facts

Trump put the National Guard onto the streets of DC after DOGE staffer Big Balls got beat up by a teenage girl -- putting them on streets they had no business or no training to police

Right after saying murders in DC are down 100% (which would be ZERO if you can't math) -- Trump talks about the National Guard member murdered in DC

Does Trump know he has 34 felonies?

I thought DOGE was the War on Fraud?

We are just going to pretend like that didn't happen?

"The government is kidnapping your kids and changing their gender" is the" they're eating the cats and the dogs" of 2026

This speech is very long and very boring

Maybe we should require identification and proof of citizenship for purchasing a gun

Trump's attacks on immigrants and refugees is an erasure of the history of this country

His mother and his wife are immigrants

Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!

Trump is reminding the American people to blame immigrants and poor people for everything so that we don't pay attention to all his failures

34 felonies for election fraud

Trump is just going to lower costs for prescriptions, electricity, and housing -- but zero details on how he plans to do any of that

50 minutes in and Trump is finally calling on Congress to pass a law -- the traditional reason this speech exists in the first place
