In 2018, a famous lawyer won a $289M verdict for a man who got cancer after using Monsanto's glyphosate weedkiller for years. Today, that same lawyer works for Trump, who signed an EO expanding glyphosate production and whose DOJ defended Monsanto in court. His name? RFK Jr.

"NO TOUCH!" Trump has deployed the military to stop people from touching the Reflecting Pool & taking pieces of the failed paint job.

It's the anniversary of the meeting of Constitutional Convention:

An audience member asked me about leftist pronatalism.

The people who say, “Food is expensive, just garden” have perhaps not been to a garden store.

Trump hearing "cisgender" and thinking its "six genders" then getting all mad about it, thus forcing other Republicans to agree that the libs are now demanding there be six genders, is a perfect encapsulation of our Golden Age of Dickishness and Stupidity.

This is amazing - @kevinolearytv 🤡 is fearmongering about Chinese agents opposing his giant Utah data center… but it’s 2 young local girls in Utah who hilariously call him (and his “dumbass hat”) out👇🏽 Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DYU074V...

These are actual Freedom Riders, now elderly, sitting together decades after risking their lives to challenge segregation in the American South. On May 4, 1961, they rode buses south to defy illegal segregation in terminal facilities.

No lie detected.

haven't had the time to watch this but I have the utmost confidence that it goes incredibly hard

Let’s just acknowledge that this kind of attack is foundationally antisemitic at its core

First Amendment Troop returns to the Lincoln Memorial with “ResistDance vs Redaction” — A protest with young dancers blindfolded, with Epstein Files printed on their leotards to symbolize redacted survivors. The piece reinterprets 13-yr-old Jane Doe 4’s testimony about Trump through movement. ❤️‍🩹

This is so well done. 👌

But shall this crazed old man be tamely suffered to drag a whole ship’s company down to doom with him?

Everyone *does* need to watch this, but most importantly, Democratic leaders still obsessing over centrism, bipartisanship and reaching "middle America" need to watch it

After Claudia Goldin became the first woman to win a solo Nobel in economics, she got hundreds of invitations. She accepted three. One was advising WNBA players on a labor deal. She helped players land the biggest % raise in US sports history. www.wsj.com/economy/wnba...

NEW: This new report, from BBC, is the best takedown of the insanity of Trump you will see anywhere. Calm, coherent and repeating only Trump’s own words. Devastating. Brilliant work once again from Roz Atkins. (🎥 BBC News)

What he says…

Trump's words mean whatever he wants them to mean at the moment. But with this Trump War Glossary compiled by @saletan.bsky.social, you might be able to figure some of it out: lnk.thebulwark.com/4loslyi

Imagine a world where Americans were smarter and didn’t applaud when reactionary idiot Ronald Reagan made a show out of removing the solar panels Jimmy Carter had installed on the White House. We wouldn’t now have to worry about affording to fill gas tanks next month.

“More than anything, it shows up — in its grounded flights, shuttered refineries and intercepted missiles — the fallacy of Fortress America.” 💯 & global interconnection present since the founding. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/06/o...

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed." -Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1953

#onthisday in 2003, a federal court jury in Mississippi convicted Ernest Avants of murder. Avants received a life sentence for joining other Klansmen in killing Black handyman, Ben Chester White, near Natchez in hopes of luring MLK to the area. The plot failed. mississippitoday.org/2025/02/28/2...

Alysa Liu telling 60 Minutes “I love struggling, it makes me feel alive” is a legit revolutionary statement from a Bay Area native in a time when copious amounts of time and resources are being put toward convincing us to opt out of experiencing struggle, friction and self-actualization

Get this woman to Congress immediately.

Let's try this again 👋 Hi Bluesky - I'm Massachusetts' Attorney General. You might know me from suing President Trump nearly 50 times, beating Uber and Lyft in court, or being the first woman of color elected to statewide office in MA. I officially left X today - help me find my MA people?

worth noting that the second rich people stopped being afraid of mobs tearing them limb from limb, they stopped building libraries and opera houses and stuff and started ripping the copper wiring out of the walls of society instead

I mean, there *are* a few other things going on. But this should be a good show on February 17: www.shakespearetheatre.org/events/mock-...

Almost 256 years ago, when British soldiers were occupying a city that was restless in their presence but still firmly part of the empire, a confrontation ended in the shooting death of five people, with 6 more wounded. This offset image of the Boston Massacre is so evocative. 1/

Interested in the history of enslaved people, Black history, and George Washington? Download this report, which is still on the NPS site (for now). My research team spent 3 years collaborating with descendants of people enslaved at the Washington's Headquarters site and the wonderful NPS staff:

Pew Research Institute (2023): • Red State Texas has about 2.1 million undocumented immigrants • Red State Florida has 1.6 M undocumented immigrants • Blue State Minnesota has 130,000. And yet only Minnesota is being occupied by masked thugs over "immigration." It's *not* about immigration.

How can we defend ourselves from the new plague of ‘human fracking’?

RFK Jr is doing a modern-day Tuskegee study, where by he uses taxpayer money to intentionality infect African children with Hepatitis B and deny them treatment. You know, just to see what happens newrepublic.com/post/205330/...

If ICE murders me, a billionaire will give him $10,000. Noted.

When you aren't supposed to talk about gender in class but want to explain how the US and Russia went from probe and drogue space docking to a 50/50 system where the first word in its name is literally "Androgynous", because neither country was willing to be the, er, receiver

He shot her in the head, then called her a “fucking bitch.” That isn’t self defense, it’s an angry execution.

Here’s some more comparative math making this point:

I am impeaching Secretary Kristi Noem, who is an incompetent leader and a disgrace to our democracy. She wreaked havoc in the Chicagoland area and has brought her reign of terror to Minneapolis. One of her rogue ICE agents shot and killed an innocent woman today. It must come to an end.

Worth a listen about the legal technicalities that the Trump admin is using to justify their zealous redactions-/
