George Washington was the last independent president. He had this to say about the formation of political parties: “It serves always to distract the public councils and enfeeble the public administration. It agitates the community with ill-founded jealousies and false alarms, kindles the animosity of one part against another, foments occasionally riot and insurrection. It opens the door to foreign influence and corruption, which finds a facilitated access to the government itself through the channels of party passions. Thus the policy and the will of one country are subjected to the policy and will of another.”

@ben_j_todd @PaulRoundy1 Our species has been a cancer to this planet. Sad but true. The hope is that we are smart enough to learn to do better.

We imagine hunter gatherers living in harmony with nature. But just 5 million of them drove more than half the world's large mammals to extinction.

What’s the point of going to space if it means destroying the planet?

Sorry guys 😂

VAPES ARE A DEEP STATE PSYOP DESIGNED TO CONDITION US TO ENJOY SUCKING ROBOT DICKS. ONCE AI TAKES AWAY ALL OUR JOBS AND THE ONLY THING LEFT FOR HUMANITY IS TO BE SEX SLAVES FOR ROBOTS!! REAL EYES REALIZE CLANKER LIES!!!! DON’T FALL FOR IT!!! WAKE UP SHEEPLE!!!

@Slatt2Trimm Is that what you tell yourself???

People built like this eat way more than obese people, but they can't get fat due to their extremely high metabolism.

This is literally how most modern people spend their lives.

how american conservatives genuinely look at you when you ask them to actually conserve something in america

Must be APRIL FOOLS joke???? Played against Miami in the same conditions and I’m planning to play tonight!!! #SweatItOut

Harvard historian Michael McCormick has a candidate for the worst year to be alive: 536 AD. A volcano blocked the sun for 18 months. Snow fell in China in August. Crops failed across three continents. We know exactly when it happened because trees recorded it in their rings. Each ring is one year of weather. Wide ring, plenty of rain. Narrow ring, drought. A charred, warped ring (scientists call it a “frost ring”) means the climate took a hit, usually from a volcano dumping ash into the upper atmosphere. A tree-ring scientist named Mike Baillie at Queen’s University Belfast found the 536 signal in Irish oak during the 1990s. The rings from that year are paper thin. Almost nothing grew. Trees on three different continents showed the same scar. The oldest living tree is a bristlecone pine in California called Methuselah. Nearly 5,000 years old. It was a sapling when the Egyptian pyramids were going up. The Forest Service won’t say where it is because they’re afraid tourists will love it to death. Researchers used over 1,400 sets of tree ring records from across North America to map droughts going back to 800 AD. Their map nailed the Dust Bowl of the 1930s. But it also found the Great Pueblo Drought, 1276 to 1297. Twenty-one straight years of dry. That drought likely forced the ancestral Pueblo people to pack up and leave the entire Colorado Plateau. An entire civilization walked away from their homes, and the trees kept the receipt. A 2015 Yale study in Nature counted about 3 trillion trees on Earth. Sounds like a lot until you hear the rest: that’s 46% fewer than when human civilization started. We cut down about 15 billion a year. We plant back maybe 5 billion. Every one of those trees was quietly keeping a climate record, year by year. When one comes down, that record is gone.

Religious folks will annoy the fuck out of you forcing their beliefs then claim discrimination because you “believe” they are weird and disruptive. Mark my words we are about to see Ivey at CPAC.

The world lost 12m ha of rainforest recently with your help, maybe you could help US with that Nestle?

@alphacent0ri @GoUncensored Bot-ass post. Muted.

🚨 The claim that Dan Bongino’s phone was set to Israel’s time zone is being used to imply some kind of hidden loyalty or conspiracy. In reality, many people who follow Middle East news, travel frequently, or have international contacts keep multiple time zones on their phones. Israel is UTC+3 (or +2 depending on DST) — it’s a simple setting anyone can add in seconds. Bongino has been openly and consistently pro-Israel for years. This isn’t a secret. A phone time zone setting is not evidence of anything sinister — it’s a very weak “gotcha” that doesn’t hold up under scrutiny.

Dan Bongino tried to publicly make an example of Thomas Massie and in the process revealed his phone was set to Israel’s time zone.

Can’t this old orange dirtbag and his oil pals die already? Where is the smiting? Please lord god 🙏🏻

@emkenobi @AdrienneC123 No, she is lying for misled. This is an older ruling. The Gulf of Mexico is not protected nor are its species due to a “national security” exemption determined by the so-called “God Squad”

@AdrienneC123 Really?! I haven’t seen any updates 😭 I hope this is true

Trump has authorized the removal of permits that were put in place to protect endangered species and now workers are allowed to kill these animals so they can drill the oceans for oil. There are only 50 of these whales left in the wild and they may all die because of this. They are trying to find loop holes in the endangered species act to do this and it will result in the deaths of innocent animals and may even lead to an entire species’ extinction. Please contact your representatives and demand action be taken to stop this. These animals do not have a voice to advocate for themselves. We must be their voice and protect our planet. Please share this!!!!!!

@AdrienneC123 @emkenobi Please don’t give people fake hope. The gulf of mexico is open to drilling and the endangered animals there are not protected by the federal court due to the so-called “god squad” deeming drilling in the area necessary for national security. Idk where you got your info from.

@emkenobi The federal court stepped in yesterday!!

In the 1990s, Canadian ecologist Suzanne Simard made a groundbreaking discovery that challenged everything we thought we knew about how forests work. While studying managed forests in British Columbia, she noticed something puzzling: when birch trees were removed to promote the growth of valuable Douglas firs, the firs did not flourish as expected — they actually struggled and grew more slowly. Determined to understand why, Simard traced the movement of nutrients using radioactive carbon isotopes. What she found was astonishing. Trees were actively sharing resources through vast underground fungal networks known as mycorrhizae. These delicate, thread-like fungi connect the roots of different trees across the forest floor, forming a complex web that allows the exchange of carbon, water, nutrients, and even chemical signals — sometimes between entirely different species. She discovered that older, larger trees often serve as central "hubs" or "mother trees," supporting younger saplings by redistributing vital resources and helping the entire ecosystem remain resilient. When these key trees are removed, the underground network weakens, and the health of the remaining forest declines. Simard’s research overturned the traditional Darwinian view of forests as battlegrounds of ruthless competition. Instead, she revealed a far more sophisticated reality: forests operate as highly cooperative systems where trees communicate, support one another, and even warn neighboring trees about threats like drought, disease, or insect attacks. What appears to the human eye as a silent, still forest is, in truth, a vibrant, interconnected living network — built not on isolation and rivalry, but on deep connection and mutual aid.

@psu_chris @RepFiedler Her plan doesn’t destroy our precious public waterways, wildlife and ecosystems. And drilling wont open the Strait of Hormuz

@RepFiedler maybe don’t use words like fair and supposed to, they are ambiguous. They provide a service, are regulated and your answer is more regulations? That makes no sense. Reduce regulatory burden and allow more energy production. The nature of supply and demand will fix it.

It's outrageous that utility companies can raise rates on working people while they make record-breaking profits. Under Pa. law, these rates are supposed to be fair for consumers, while allowing utility companies to recover costs and earn reasonable returns. However... (1/3)

@Kaijuwonk @__The__Juan__ @Jess_inthewild Why are you like this? They are not native, they are not naturalized, they are invasive. I love cats but ecologically, feral cats are a disaster.

@__The__Juan__ @Jess_inthewild They are now

Quick question why are invasive predators even allowed to roam in the few wildlife areas available for vulnerable migrating birds in NYC?

@funkyscouser Damn Funk it’s awesome to see your progress!

D’arce but no cigar
