@meteorblades.bsky.socialReposted by @meteorblades.bsky.socialIn 1974, after a rash of night assaults on women in Israel, a govt minister suggested a curfew to keep women home after dark. Prime Minister Golda Meir said, ”But it's the men who are attacking the women. If there's to be a curfew, let the men stay home, not the women.'"
@meteorblades.bsky.socialSez who? And mea culpas aren‘t the point. Teaching people real history and giving them the tools to defend themselves against indoctrination. Not just about Columbus, of course.
@meteorblades.bsky.socialWell, it stands to reason when life has privileged and protected you the way it’s done for Donald Trump, you have every reason to believe that things always work out because that’s your personal, blinkered experience. Some of us live in a far harsher, more panoramic world.

@meteorblades.bsky.socialCorpus Christi, TX, leaders decided to secure the city’s water future with a desalination plant. Instead the plan pushed the city to the brink of a water-supply disaster, burned thru tens of millions of public dollars & engulfed the city in political turmoil.

@meteorblades.bsky.socialYes, and I wager the WaPo editorial board won’t publish a piece about the plethora of Pacific hurricanes this year the way it did in a scientifically illiterate way about the dearth of such storms in the Atlantic in 2026, while chiding activists for allegedly inflating climate crisis concerns.

@meteorblades.bsky.socialI didn’t think you meant it as an insult. I was just pointing to some nuance.
@meteorblades.bsky.socialReposted by @meteorblades.bsky.socialNew study adds to a growing body of evidence of reproductive health risks of pesticides. The study analyzed semen samples of 179 men in Jinan, China, and found that higher neonicotinoid pesticide levels in semen were linked to a 27% drop in sperm concentration.
@ilhanmn.bsky.socialReposted by @meteorblades.bsky.socialI’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.
@meteorblades.bsky.socialUsually it’s the guy who’s losing who begs for the debate.

@meteorblades.bsky.socialReposted by @meteorblades.bsky.socialSo much for Pete Hegseth’s hollow, high-decibel threat back in March:
“If you kill Americans, if you threaten Americans anywhere on Earth, we will hunt you down without apology and without hesitation, and we will kill you.”
@meteorblades.bsky.socialReposted by @meteorblades.bsky.socialPublished today in Earth's Future, a new study says the scientific basis for the EPA’s landmark 2009 Endangerment Finding—that greenhouse gas emissions endanger public health—has become even stronger since then.
But Trump 2.0 rescinded the finding this past April.
@meteorblades.bsky.socialTrump says Ukraine needs a new president. Whether it’s a formal arrangement with the Kremlin or not—he shows he is a Russian asset, tool, and fool, announcing a deal to buy enormous amounts of Russian diesel. This helps fund Putin’s war on Ukraine. Russia & the U.S. desperately need new presidents.
