We were interviewed by Jason Smith for TREK STAR: The Doug Drexler Documentary!

🔥Trump has exploded the national debt, crushed family budgets, and left working parents drowning. Soaring gas prices and grocery bills. Deficits our children will repay for decades. Our kids deserve better than having to live with Trump’s economic wreckage! #WeCantAffordTrump

We came here and worked together, male & female. American women have fought for all rights and against all oppressions! Now we are needed to defend/protect once again! Now is the time!!

Black political power is under attack, again Americans should stop pretending we aren’t seeing a retrenchment of racial power.

Virginia's Supreme Court struck down Democrats' newly drawn maps. On top of that, after SCOTUS greenlit eliminating majority-Black districts, Louisiana is fast-tracking its new maps and Tennessee just passed their own. Plus DeSantis signed new maps in Florida, but it may face a major legal hurdle.

Zelensky issued an official presidential decree authorizing Russia to hold its Victory Day parade in Moscow tomorrow. He included the exact coordinates of Red Square. That's it. A+ trolling.

@paridhirustogi.bsky.social just defended her PhD at Princeton University. She studies how bubbles and waves affect air-sea gas exchange, which impacts ocean carbon dioxide and oxygen dynamics.

@keithlindsay.bsky.social is a scientist in the Climate and Global Dynamics Laboratory at the NSF National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR). A mathematician by training, he focuses on modeling ocean biogeochemical cycles and the global carbon cycle to improve long-term climate projections.

If you’re a climate/energy person, I will take your portrait pro bono.

Republicans are working overtime to make it as hard as possible for you to vote. Because they know that they and their policies are deeply unpopular and the only way for them to win is to double down on cheating.

Astronauts reach for the frontier of human knowledge and take genuine risks in service to their country and to all humanity. Now, the Astronauts for America, a nonpartisan group of former NASA astronauts, have stepped up to defend the Constitution of the United States >>

Trump’s support is absolutely cratering!

Happy Primary Voting Day, Ohio

Family goes to court to sign self deportation papers—ICE oppose it and detain both parents instead. Mother and father now locked up miles away in different detention centers—separated from all 3 of their children. Parents are scheduled to be deported—status of their kids is unclear.

Is Trump creating an American "theocratic republic"? By framing the current war as a divine crusade and casting himself as a "Christ-like healer," he’s embracing the same theocratic absolutism he claims to fight in Iran. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Why do Republicans now want TAXPAYERS to pay $1 billion for Trump’s ballroom? 😡

Nope, this is not the way.

Can someone let the AP know that violating court orders is not a sign of "executive power. " It is a sign of contempt, lawlessness and authoritarianism.

He’s a war criminal… he should be arrested if he ever leaves the US.

The conclusion of Star Trek Picard is beloved for reuniting the ST:TNG cast on the bridge of the Enterprise-D. Most fans know, that iconic set had to be rebuilt from scratch. However, most folks don't realize what a truly epic labor of love this was. www.masterreplicas.com/en-us/produc...

We enjoyed a lovely dinner last Saturday with Jimmy Crush, BarBara Luna, Doug Drexler, Donna Lee, and Stuart Mackanass, who supported Doug's upcoming biographical documentary.

Every school in the US needs a ballroom.

How do you damage the economy and the environment at the same time? This.

If you want a sobering illustration of the slow death of local #journalism, about 15 years ago I set up the Cambridge News What's On Facebook page to promote our coverage of the city's arts, entertainment and culture - interviews, previews, reviews, etc This is what Reach now uses it for 🫤

NEW: A rule change pushed by White House officials would slash benefits or end support for as many as 400,000 Supplemental Security Income recipients with Down syndrome, dementia and other disabilities whose parents or relatives receive SNAP benefits.

Yesterday, Ron DeSantis released a proposed congressional map in Florida that would eliminate four Democratic seats and tilt the scales for Trump.

The administration that normalized cruelty is now demanding a talk show host be fired for a joke. This isn't a stand against toxicity, it’s an authoritarian attempt to label all mockery of the President as "hate speech." They’re banking on you forgetting their last decade of vitriol. Don't.
