Justice Alito accepted tens of thousands of dollars in lavish vacation gifts from a billionaire who lobbied to cancel the student loan forgiveness.

After the gifts, Alito voted to overturn. This SCOTUS’ corruption undercuts its own legitimacy by putting its rulings up for sale.

Let’s get this right. Scientists didn’t fail to communicate the risks of climate change, they have been warning us for a century. Our policies are failing because after knowing the risks, fossil fuel companies spent billions of dollars blocking meaningful action on climate.

These olive ridley turtles are coming ashore together to lay their eggs! 🏖️

In what's called an "arribada," huge numbers of female olive ridley sea turtles come together to nest on the beach. They then return to their mostly solitary lives in the ocean! 🌊 #SeaTurtleWeek

Another instance of someone with no training in medicine or medical ethics making medical decisions for other people. Gender-affirming care is essential for thousands of people, including trans youth.

Breaking: Gov. Greg Abbott signed into law Friday a bill that bars transgender youth from getting puberty blockers and hormone therapies, though the new law could face legal challenges before it takes effect on Sept. 1. https://t.co/PyG0VJByLS

👀 Sneak a peek at the deepest & sharpest infrared image of the early universe ever taken — all in a day’s work for the Webb telescope. (Literally, capturing it took less than a day!) This is Webb’s first image released as we begin to #UnfoldTheUniverse: https://t.co/tlougFWg8B

You don't need to be a leading climate scientist to be horrified that the Supreme Court wants the fossil fuel industry to burn our future and our children's future for their short-term profit

[Naomi Klein @NaomiAKlein]

Judicial coup. These people deserve no one's respect. No one's deference. No one's loyalty. Take them at their actions. They will burn it all down to serve the corporate interests that put them there.

It takes a monster to kill children. But to watch monsters kill children again and again and do nothing isn’t just insanity—it’s inhumanity.

Every police department violating people's civil rights must be stripped of federal funding.

[Brendon Byrd @brendonbyrd]

blacks & minorities and we all must vote accordingly while continuing to protest these policies and demonstrations that are inherently antihuman.

[Brendon Byrd @brendonbyrd]

When a system relies on the voter suppression of blacks & minorities and thrives by keeping these communities at the bottom of the socioeconomic hierarchy it is fundamentally flawed. The same system continues to fund & support the militarization of the police and refuses to...

[Brendon Byrd @brendonbyrd]

remove the officials defending the disgusting behavior portrayed by those who are supposed to serve & protect. These same officials refuse to implement or cut social & health programs designed to help these communities in need. The system is fundamentally rigged against...

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

We need real police department reform. Every police officer involved in a killing must be held accountable, and those found guilty must be punished with the full force of the law. Every killing of a person held in police custody must be investigated by the Department of Justice.
