"A few high-profile people got shaken down and everyone else got the message. A general chill spread over the country’s media, but it took a while to entirely freeze over." www.thenextmove.org/p/i-saw-how-...

This looks really interesting. Directly link to the Atlas in Katie's second post.

We stand with those who exercise their right to free speech. The irony of #ABC and the #FCC trying to silence Jimmy Kimmel on the day the Constitution was signed in 1787 is not lost on us. Here’s the 1st amendment again, because obviously Brenden Carr and Almin Karamehmedobic didn’t pay attention.

Fascism is here. Free speech is gone. Goodnight America.

Excellent book.

it's so funny to see America's health insurance companies be like "look. If there's one thing we love it's denying you care. but we ran the numbers - and we cannot BELIEVE we're saying this - and it's cheaper for us to just pay for the vaccines than deal with you going to the ER."

🙁

There’s no growth in denial. Only repeats of the same wrongs.

Texas is what you get when every decision is 100% reactionary and nothing is debated or thought out. The problems that arose could have easily been anticipated by a high school debate team, but the politics behind it tell you what you need to know - there was no debate, just performers for Trump.

folks, I want to remind you that a ton of federal workers are about to get their last pay check at the end of this month and this stuff is going to get much worse

We had a similar conversation at work recently. There are new “rules” to keep us in line-little quality of life things we used to be able to do are off limits to make us paranoid. But we know that if they wanted to be rid of us they would. It doesn’t matter when we do what where. Fascists gona fash

A cool and surprising fact is that this jet was first seen over 100 years ago, *optically* In 1918, Heber Curtis observed a a "curious straight ray" connected to the nucleus of M87 — the jet generated by its black hole. 🔭 🧪 Image: Linda Hall Library; NASA / Hubble Heritage; Event Horizon Telescope

Let’s talk about meme wars and how it leads to networked incitement. Following Kirk’s murder a stream of harassment targeted lgbtq people and HBCUs, while white nationalists rallied in Huntington Beach @brittanymehmedovic.bsky.social @jonstewartdaily.bsky.social @weeklyshowpodcast.bsky.social

The Marxist engineering professors of Utah State strike again

At stake is the review of the EU’s Climate Law, which sets course for the EU to become climate neutral by 2050, but also called for a 2040 climate target to be set in stone. #EuropeNews

rarely have I more acutely felt the dynamic by which Dems are held responsible for the rhetoric of every random left-leaning person on the internet and Republicans are not even asked to answer for their own personal words

During a discussion on Elon Musk dismantling of the federal government in search of putative savings, one MSNBC contributor brought up a grim report on deaths that have been attributed to the work done by DOGE. On cuts to USAID: 300,000, 200,000 of them children. www.rawstory.com/doge-deaths-...

The asymmetrical media response to political violence in America is, in itself, one of the most important contributing factors to how we arrived at this place of escalating political violence.

Five years ago all this stuff about Trump's serial abuse came up. Women who had been minors at the time told their stories. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020...

The GRFP lives!! (due end of October) www.nsf.gov/funding/oppo...

It’s pretty epic tbh

Instead of negotiating with @iamunion.bsky.social members who have the expertise in maintaining our national security, Boeing is hiring scab workers. Shame on Boeing. It’s time for them to come back to the bargaining table and give workers a strong contract.

💀 Duffy sounds like Stockton Rush, whose contempt for safety doomed 5, incl himself, when his submersible imploded in 2023. “At some point, safety just is pure waste. I mean, if you just want to be safe, don’t get out of bed. Don’t get in your car. Don’t do anything." 🧾 share.google/iLy8jz9uDusa...

Happy birthday to Ruby Bridges, who turns 71 today. The decision to integrate Ruby Bridges’ school was a result of the landmark Supreme Court case Brown v. Board of Education, which ruled segregation unconstitutional. 4 years later, in 1964, Rockwell painted her story "The Problem We All Live With".

Show up for #NASA!! 🚀 Outside NASA HQ in DC on Monday, Sept 15. @roguenasa.altgov.info @aas.org @agu.org @planetarysociety.bsky.social #heliophysics #advocacy

Trump’s NASA policies could jeopardize America’s decades of dominance in space.

New York: Show your solidarity with working families fighting for freedom, fairness and security, and join @nyclabor.bsky.social and America’s unions for the nation’s biggest and oldest Labor Day parade and march on Saturday!

The proposed trillion dollar compensation package for Elon Musk demonstrates you can be the richest person in the world and yet it is still not enough if you are a soulless monster.

And a military parade in his honor. 5 draft deferrals. Hope the cankles don’t aggravate the bone spurs too much.

It’s like Brawndo. It’s got what Americans crave.

Calm down, Nazi Liam Neeson

I reject this framing. Every single GOP Senator that voted to confirm a man that was on a mission to destroy public health is responsible for this mess. Name and shame them all. Every one.

It’s obvious some people were never traumatized by watching Old Yeller as children.

This is what’s been happening in our world. If you think they’re going to stop the union busting at the government level and that private industry isn’t taking notes, think again. This is troubling for everyone. www.npr.org/2025/09/01/n...

I am so so so proud to have been part of this effort. Climate change is already a major threat to human life, health, and thriving. It is important that we get the most accurate science on the record to delineate that threat, so we can build a better future. www.npr.org/2025/09/02/n...

Let's break this down. I'm a merchant Captain for former USAF officer. The US Navy destroyed a civilian vessel in international waters without attempting to seize/board the vessel and without being engaged in combat. This is "manifestly unlawful". The US Navy has a DUTY to refuse illegal orders.

This is pretty cool but have you considered building a one lane tunnel for only a certain brand of automobiles

Greetings Bluesky! I’m RogueNOAA. I’m joining the alts to bring the real NOAA to you. NOAA isn’t just an agency. It’s a collection of talented, mission-driven people working to keep you safe, sustainably manage resources, and so much more. NOAA is yours. Let’s get to it! So excited!

My educated guess: THIS is how the Trump administration and OMB will withhold money from agencies even if #Congress passes a full #budget. THIS is how they will unilaterally shut down #NASA missions in Oct 1. @roguenasa.altgov.info @agu.org @aas.org @planetarysociety.bsky.social
