Republicans want your life to be as difficult, painful, miserable, and short as possible.

This is *not* the way scientific papers typically begin:
_________________________

We are running out of time. Ecosystems across the planet are being destroyed at an accelerating rate. The life sciences – once a field dedicated to the study of living systems and our interactions with them – are increasingly becoming sciences of the dead. Up to one million species are currently threatened with extinction, many of them within decades.
_________________________

It's a very good sign, however, an indication that at least some scientists are now ready to speak boldly and unequivocally about the greatest emergency our species has ever faced.

@DidiQ Yes, DeSantis IS a White Supremacist.
White Supremacy SHOULD be designated a Domestic Terrorist group.

Hey people of Mastodon. When I was 18 I made a cover to Don McLean's Vincent. I made the video private years ago because I was a teenager and thought I looked ugly. I do not look ugly haha I know it now but it doesn't matter, it's an emotional cover that I was happy to make. Hope you like it ❤️ would love to hear your thoughts.

@ScottSoCal These nutjobs are in a frenzy to out-crazy each other and it’s an incredibly significant problem. We’ve become numb to the constant barrage of outrages and they push the envelope even further every day.

It is scary and I hope we get to keep our democracy.
