My university in upstate New York was sandwiched between a river and a graveyard with a no-kill policy, so we ended up becoming a haven for foxes, groundhogs, and squirrels

What's with all the videos with foxes coming out of Ukraine lately? I've only twice in my life seen a fox in the wild, and over there they seem to be everywhere. lol

Many people put a huge amount of work into this cover package. I hope it gets Sudan more of the attention it deserves

The war in Sudan has received a fraction of the attention given to Gaza and Ukraine. Yet it threatens to be deadlier than either conflict. It is possible to save millions of lives, if the world acts now econ.st/3AFKbcJ

Groups like AIPAC and the NRA are effective because they're single-issue. You never see AIPAC say stuff like "climate change cannot be solved without West Bank settlement expansion and thus we cannot support this anti-climate candidate."


I hate to break it to you but antisemitism is also getting really bad in China given the worsening state of US-China relations and how that translates into the Israel-Palestine culture war dynamic. CCTV State Media in 2021 implied Congress was controlled by Jews.

Yeah if I want to be complicit in the Uyghur genocide instead

Fact checking most conservative claims takes like 10 minutes of research to show that they’re not even wrong, they are just making claims without even beginning to do any research. This is true for almost every claim @RealCandaceO makes.

Ukrainian President Zelenskyy to Israel: “You need to respect international laws. Ukraine recognizes Palestine and will do everything for Israel to stop, to end this conflict so that civilians do not suffer.“ will people that vilify Ukraine report on this or continue to ignore?

2024 is the hottest year on record, and it's been hotter than 2023 in part because of a global ban on shipping fuels containing sulfur dioxide. Problem: SO2 causes acid rain, but it cools the globe. How can we just stay cool? A new company might have found the solution. 🧵

My position, in case it isn't clear: 1. High prices and rates create objective economic hardship and frustration. 2. Americans keep expressing opinions about this economy that are flatly, wildly wrong. We don't have to isolate narratives (1) or (2). Both true. Both matter.

New Harris-Guardian poll: - 56% say US is in recession (reality: 7 straight quarters of positive GDP growth) - 49% say stocks are down YTD (reality: S&P500 up 12%) - 49% say unemployment at a 50-year high (reality: U3 has been under 4% longer than any period since the 1960s)
