@PhillipsDe13341 @GregAbbott_TX I hope so. If you make my kid read stories from one religion he should read stories from every religion. This is why people hate Christian’s because they continue to force their antique beliefs on others.

@GregAbbott_TX Great! Will one of these be Genesis 19:30-38 where Lot has sex with his daughters? Why would you want to indoctrinate children??

@RpsAgainstTrump Great! Will one of these be Genesis 19:30-38 where Lot and his daughters have sex?

[Bort McBortson @clayvc]

@RpsAgainstTrump Respect is earned. I respect the presidency of the US but low IQ, corrupt, treasonous, lying, pedophile Donald Trump thinks I owe him respect. I’ll respect him when he respects the presidency and the country that (sadly) put him in that position.

The whooping crane is one of the world’s most endangered birds. Of the 800 or so left on earth, about two-thirds are wild and migrate every year between Texas and Canada.

So OF COURSE the Trump administration removed all protections and plans to eliminate about 12% of their critical migratory habitat in the wetlands of Texas.

So Trump, Doug Burgum, and their developer buddies can profit off the land.

When these birds are gone, they're gone forever.

Fuck this administration.

@wikileaks Isn’t this exactly what Donald Trump did?

❗After another newborn elephant death at Zurich Zoo, Born Free joins global experts urging an immediate end to its breeding programme.

11 elephants have died in a decade with every calf lost. This isn't just a coincidence.

For every dollar the world spends protecting nature, roughly 30x more is spent financing its destruction.

Global investment in nature sits at around US$220 billion per year.

Meanwhile, around US$7.3 trillion every year continues to flow into activities that degrade nature, including fossil fuels, industrial agriculture, high-impact industries, and other environmentally harmful investments.

We continue financing the very activities driving deforestation, biodiversity loss, and climate change while investing only a fraction in protecting the natural systems that sustain us.

The problem isn’t a lack of money.

It’s what we choose to fund.

The money we claim to spend protecting nature is dwarfed by the money we spend degrading it.

It’s time to stop funding the problem and start funding the solution.

AOC on Vance/Watergate: I think what it reveals more is about what JD Vance’s vision for America is, is that he wants more of the same. He doesn't want anything to change in this country. He wants to continue the reality that corruption is banal, normal. And he loves the way that the country is being governed right now. He loves that you can start an illegal war and make tons of people rich, send Americans into harm's way, and that it'll barely be a blip in on people's radar. He loves that we can engage in record levels of corruption and get away with it. And so in that statement, it's less about the acknowledgment of the reality, but it's that his vision for the future is exactly the same, and that your life won't change if so long as he's in charge.

@DisneyPlus could you please fix the commercial break bug? Everytime you commercials play while I’m watching a show it freezes the show. I have to exit the show and resume, then watch the adds again. Sometimes more than 1 or two times. You get plenty of my money can you earn it?

Admitting the corruption is moving so rapidly media and the public can’t possibly keep up.

@carney I, for one, am all for spending more of our budget on policies that actually saves and/or helps make peoples lives better. Let’s do it!

@jimstewartson As the father of a 13 year old Texas atheist, I find this absolutely horrendous. My kid will not be reading these (unless he chooses to do so).

@NewsHour I don’t listen to corrupt lying traitorous pedophiles.

[Give A Shit About Nature @giveashitnature]

That poison you put out for mice can end up inside the owl that was helping with your mouse problem for free.

The mouse eats the poison. The mouse gets slow, sick, easy to catch. The owl eats mouse. Now the poison has moved up the food chain.

Same goes for hawks, foxes, bobcats, coyotes, snakes, and other predators that spend their lives doing the thing people keep buying poison to do.

And there's another layer: your mouse poison is making the tick problem worse.

Mice aren't just annoying pantry thieves. In much of the eastern U.S., white-footed mice are one of the big animals involved in Lyme disease ecology. Young ticks feed on them, pick up the Lyme bacterium, and later those ticks can bite people.

So when you kill the predators that eat mice, you may be making your yard friendlier to the animals that help infected ticks thrive.

One owl isn't a total tick control program but a healthy yard has layers of pest control: owls, hawks, foxes, snakes, opossums, insects, birds, all doing quiet work you never see.

Poison is the shortcut that breaks the system. Instead, seal the entry points, remove the food source, use traps where needed, but don't turn the mouse into a poisoned meal for the animal that was hunting it.
