A new study showed that full adherence to the 3-30-300 green space rule (can see 3 trees from their home, 30% tree canopy and 300m from green space) was clearly associated with better mental health, less medication use and fewer visits to a psychologist https://t.co/yOsyZOYIlU

If the railways are too crucial to allow workers to strike, then they are too crucial to be owned by private companies whose only goal is to squeeze them for profit.

Nationalized them, and treat the workers fairly.

@BobWorldBuilder I know setting up and managing an email list can be a thing, but if you went that route, I’d def sign up!

Billionaire midterm spending:

2010: $32 million
2014: $232 million
2018: $611 million

This is how democracy dies.

You may not believe that your cat was born with a predatory instinct because it's a so playful critter, but it looks like cats are responsible for the global extinction of 33 animal species & responsible for the deaths of 6.9-20.7 billion mammals annually https://t.co/6CtFl4uR4y

I don’t know who needs to hear this but there is a 30 minute video called “Studio Ghibli Nature Loop” on HBO Max that just plays different pretty scenes from Ghibli movies with ambient sound

UNBELIEVABLE! The membership list of the white supremacist Oath Keepers just leaks — and it includes over 80 Republican politicians, 370 police officers and sheriffs, and over 100 active-duty members of the U.S. military. They must ALL be fired or impeached from duty IMMEDIATELY!

It’s almost like Democratic officials who want to get something done should realize that court expansion must happen or else the liberal agenda does not exist.

[No Lie with Brian Tyler Cohen @NoLieWithBTC]

Trump just called on the FBI and DOJ to “change the results of the 2020 Presidential Election.” And there are members of the media who are still suggesting it is “divisive” and “political” for Biden to say MAGA Republicans are a threat to democracy.

This is the greatest tweet ever twitted

In 10 words, he perfectly sums up the feelings of every Confederate, segregationist, Klansman & the white ppl who spat on Black kids who wanted to go to schools

I only wish “it” could replace “America

Then it would’ve also been a Haiku
