Super informative and indepth in the science of paleontology. Aron Ra knows his stuff and has the ability to instruct or impart the information in a way that is easier to understand. If you like learning about dinosaurs then you should enjoy this video. Hugs
AronRa explores the evolutionary history of sauropods, tracing their development from early archosaurs to the massive, long-necked creatures found in the fossil record. This examination focuses on anatomical transitions, such as skeletal pneumaticity, and the taxonomic debates surrounding their classification relative to theropods and other dinosaur lineages.
Wow. There is a lot of historic information in this video. The author / presenter has quick cuts to other personality characters she plays to highlight the absurdity of some positions held by the hierarchy. She delvesdeeply into the idea of what is proper femininity, who steps outside it, and who thinks they are responsible for judging or enforcing it. She delves into how many fights against change and equality are about fears by men of emasculation. The lowering of men’s status. When she elaborates on suffrage, all the fears seem to be that allowing women to vote would give women the right to be men and force men to be women. Seem familure? She goes into detail on how each repressive opressive responce to equal rights comes down to the same phrases such as save the children, save the family, or the claims that society it self will end. The clips she intersperses go by far too quickly so I had to stop the video to read them but she does describe what is on them. The begining was choppy and it took me a bit to get her style of presentation but once I did I found it very informative fillwed with facts, history, and fun to watch. Hugs
The transgender bathroom ‘debate’ isn’t new (but it is stupid). I’m looking at you TERF’s…
Looking back through history, gender politics is consistently entangled with race, class, misogyny, and disability. Minority groups existing outside the ‘norm’ are attacked as ‘radicals’ or menaces to society…
But what prevails each time we face oppression AND causes real change in our society?
Tens of thousands of people gathered in soaring temperatures in Hungary's capital to celebrate the 31st annual Budapest Pride, the first such LGBTQ+ march since former prime minister Viktor Orbán, who had sought to ban the event, was ousted in an April election
Saturday's Budapest Pride march came a little more than a year after Viktor Orbán's nationalist-populist government passed legislation and a constitutional amendment to outlaw the event. https://to.pbs.org/4ezPIDs

Trump: "Our Founders invoked the Creator four times in the Declaration of Independence. Four times. I wasn't mentioned once. I'm very upset. Not once."
Pete Buttigieg says his family was effectively swatted — except, instead of calling the cops, someone called Child Protective Services, lied and said Buttigieg had admitted to 'committing unspeakably violent crimes' and that his kids were at risk.The kids are not and were not at risk.
Trump was actually 17-18 in this photo. His parents sent him to a military boarding school for behavioral issues & bullying. Now he uses the photo to pretend he was in the military.
Trump was in his 20s when the DOJ began investigating him for discriminating against Black renters
BREAKING: It happened again.Trump fell asleep during a public event in the Oval Office. Shame on his family and advisers for putting him through this. This is elder abuse.25th Amendment now!
A viral video from the Great American State Fair triggered an immediate backlash after Confederate flag imagery appeared inside a state exhibit, prompting official condemnation and a sponsor's swift withdrawal. #BreakingNews #Politics #America250
The law might have tolerated this sort of government conduct a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away — but we don’t need them here, intimidating residents and violating their constitutional rights.Read more about today's win: http://www.acludc.org/press-releas…
TRUMP IN LAFAYETTE PARK THIS MORNING: Press pool says WH says on background “President Trump walked through Lafayette Park today to personally check on the restoration progress, one of the many D.C. landmarks being made beautiful again under his Executive Order signed nearly one year ago.”
The park right now is fenced off and under renovation. The Washington Post reported today Trump wants to plant 47 maple trees in it in line with his 47th place in the presidency. (note paywall) http://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202…

Trump: "They're cheating. The kid won. Or he was certainly in the top two. I don't know him, I never met him. Spencer Pratt. He went away quietly. We didn't go away quietly. He shouldn't go away quietly, he should protest, because it was in my very strong opinion a rigged election."
The below is sickening. All slurs, bigotry attacks, and lies but not on discussion of policies. It is all culture wars misinformation to gin up outrage built on lies and misinformation. Hugs
Gavin Newsom has doubled down on his opposition to California's billionaire wealth tax — which just collected enough signatures to be on the ballot this November.He's wrong to oppose it. Here's why.

Trump says he’s nominating Lance Schroyer as permanent director for ICE, a man who appears to have no previous leadership or immigration experience. He is apparently a long-time Oklahoma State Trooper and former Marine.If confirmed, he would be the first Senate-confirmed ICE Director since 2017.
On the first day of the Great American State Fair on the National Mall, there were no butter sculptures, blue-ribbon livestock or prizewinning rutabaga pies to admire. But visitors could take in a gleaming portrait of President Trump, pick up a handbill promoting Turning Point USA and hear a speaker read a poem declaring every teen to be “a conscript in a spiritual world war.”
Volunteers with the River at Tampa Bay Church in Florida approached people asking if they knew that “Jesus loves you and has a plan for you.” Literature was distributed proclaiming that Mr. Trump was leading the “Great American Comeback.” Exhibitors included Hillsdale College, a conservative Christian institution, and the Museum of the Bible. On the edge of the grounds, performers sang hymns in a worship tent.
Under a sweltering sun, attendance was sparse, and power failures did not help — by Thursday night, the Ferris wheel had been out of commission for hours. Across from that ride, visitors could look at a smaller-scale model of Mr. Trump’s proposed 250-foot triumphal arch. Its vinyl covering — stapled over a wood frame and emblazoned with the words “One Nation Under God” — had already started buckling.
Nobody who has been paying attention to the Trump administration’s handling of America’s 250th anniversary should be surprised that a Confederate flag turned up at the Great American State Fair on the National Mall. It was discovered at the North Carolina booth and in its own small way tells you everything you need to know about this whole production.
The controversy erupted after footage circulated showing the North Carolina exhibit featuring altered versions of the state flag with the Confederate battle emblem superimposed over the design. Governor Josh Stein’s office condemned the display, calling it a misrepresentation of North Carolina and demanding that organizers remove it.
North Carolina’s official state flag has never included the Confederate battle symbol in any version of its design. Not in 1861, not in 1885, not ever. Whoever put together that video display didn’t just stumble into Lost Cause territory by accident. They had to go out of their way to attach a symbol that the state itself had never chosen to fly.
Eleven states declined to participate and Freedom 250 chose local groups from each state to fill the booths. Videos on social media show baptisms being performed in a tent.
Of Course a Confederate Flag Showed Up at the Great American State Fair #CivilWarMemory #America250open.substack.com/pub/kevinmle…
Trump's "Great American State Fair" is turning into exactly the kind of disaster you'd expect…empty crowds, melting ice cream, Ferris wheel breakdowns, sky-high prices, and even a public indecency arrest.That and a whole lot more in today's bulletin:
These complete no exception bans have pretend exceptions that no doctor can trust. These paws and the people who push them do not see a woman as a whole real person, just a vessel for a possible offspring. Women are dying when there is no viable fetus to protect because these laws do not see women as people. Only men are human people. Plus these laws are pushed by religious fanatics and not doctors.

Texas resident Lynn Callaway filed a federal complaint against two Texas area hospitals that denied her treatment while she was having a miscarriage. “It has been a whirlwind, very traumatic,” Callaway said. In order to treat her miscarriage, she needed to receive the same procedure used in abortions. “I was someone who also did not realize that the abortion ban, particularly how it bans the pill, as well as the D&C, could also impact miscarriage care. That just never came to my mind, and that’s why it’s very important to understand these laws and understand how they impact everyone.”
Fetterman: "If you have contempt for Israel, you are anti-American and anti western civilization"So the people who oppose genocide, bombing of hospitals and starvation of children – they hate America and western civilization🤔
"Representative Tom Kean, Missing for Months, Is Back Home in New Jersey: The congressman, who has been absent from Washington since March, answered the door of his home on Wednesday evening. He was wearing a suit and tie." — http://www.nytimes.com/2026/06/24/n…
Yet he still got paid for missing four months of his job. Would you have? Clearly this is why congress is out of touch with the people. They are mostly wealthy and get paid $174,000 with perks to work less than half a year. Yet it is the poor and lower incomes that need regulations on what they can buy with assistance money. Hugs
🚨BREAKING: Postmaster General David Steiner told senators that, under a new proposed rule, the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) will not deliver mail ballots unless states hand over their voter lists to the Trump administration http://www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/…
Sen. Peters: "Yes or no, if a state refuses to turn their absentee voter list over to the federal government, will the Postal Service still mail their ballots under this proposed rule?"Postmaster General David Steiner: "Under our proposed regulation, no."

"Support Builds on the Right for Prosecuting Women Who Get Abortions. ‘What is the accountability for these women?’” Of course this where the GOP is heading. The GOP is about religious fascism. Oppressing women is a big part of that. Gift link below http://www.nytimes.com/2026/06/24/u…
Time to build support for prosecuting hospitals and doctors who refuse to give an abortion and the woman dies. Negligent homicide would work. They have given in to the fear of being prosecuted if they give an abortion – make them more afraid of letting a woman die when they don't.
We DeSantis thinks that by shutting down this billion dollar experiment in human suffering, we'll forget and move on. He's wrong. I will not stop until these people are held accountable.
The DHS watchdog announces that its office is launching two new reviews related to ICE's handling of detained migrants, according to a new announcement on the inspector general’s website.
