Hundreds of Tyson workers are gathering to take a stand against the company's illegal, abrupt layoffs. We stand with the workers against Tyson's corruption, which is demonstrated by the fact that their CEO makes 293x the average worker. And yet they can't afford to keep their Joslin plant open?

Trump, on camera, surrounded by laughing aides: “I almost like to hear bad numbers. I hope we have bad numbers so interest rates go down.” He’s not managing the economy. He’s rooting against you to win an argument with the Fed and he thinks it’s a punchline.

In a system engineered to isolate and harden us, protecting your soft heart and contagious positive energy is direct sabotage. Stay kind. Stay dangerous.

Thanks to Hegseth: "It has become clear that my philosophy of leadership, and my understanding of the value and mission of Stars and Stripes, differ in fundamental ways from the direction the leadership of the Department of Defense has for the organization." www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Tree roots hold soil in place and prevent erosion. Their leaves pull water from the ground and release it as vapor—a process that influences humidity and precipitation patterns over time.

@BraddrofliT: "Trump campaigned on a promise to pay off the entire national debt within two terms. Instead, during his two terms in the White House, the national debt increased by $11.6 trillion." One of MANY campaign promises he did not keep

And perhaps the most uncomfortable part is that we call it our ocean, our beach and our planet, while leaving behind waste that other species are forced to live with long after we've gone. If every species left behind as much waste as humans do, the ocean wouldn't survive us.

It is high time we realized: when animals die, humans die too. We must finally stop waging wars and instead protect our planet and its inhabitants. Existing laws and human indifference make the struggle difficult, but only by standing together can we make a difference.

It's hard to grow our way out of debt when Trump is wasting millions of dollars gold-plating statues and wrecking national monuments and billions of dollars fighting an illegal war while strangling our economy with stupid tariffs and corrupt quid pro quo with corporations and gross incompetence.

A turtle doesn't know the plastic bag isn't a jellyfish. A bird doesn't know the fishing line is a trap. A crab doesn't know the tiny pieces of plastic surrounding it shouldn't be there. They didn't create this problem. We did.

The oceans are warming dramatically—by as much as 6 degrees—and marine life is dying as food chains collapse. Humanity prefers to invest in weapons and wars rather than in protecting the environment.💔

Just remember this when Congress reconvenes from recess in September folks. The administration's base discretionary budget request for the Department of Defense in the fiscal year 2027 appropriations bill is approximately $1.072 trillion to $1.15 trillion. www.csis.org/analysis/tra...

We talk a lot about progress and innovation, but at what point does it cost too much? Data centers consume enormous amounts of water and energy. They clear land. They fragment ecosystems. Meanwhile, bees are disappearing, aquifers are dropping, and forests keep shrinking. 🐝

As the Earth traps far more heat than it releases, over 90% of this excess energy is being absorbed by the oceans, accelerating ice melt and fueling extreme weather events globally. Scientists warn that these rapid shifts are locking in irreversible consequences that will persist for centuries
