Last night with no warning, RFK Jr. cancelled up to $2 billion in funding for mental health and substance abuse research and programs administered through SAMHSA. He and his minions did so because “they no longer believe the defunded programs align with the Trump administration's priorities”.

It goes without saying that in the US you’re not supposed to have a masked secret police that snatches people off the streets without knowing if they’ve committed a crime. That’s about as basic a requirement for a democracy as exists.

This is Minneapolis: -drop the kids off for a day with their grandparents -go to brunch with your wife -get a text from neighbors who don’t have enough food & can’t leave home or they might be abducted by fed govt -get groceries as helicopters roar overhead -deliver food & this vehicle passes you

Now that Trump and Vance and unapologetically murdering US citizens you don’t hear about the Epstein files anymore.

"how you treat people is who are are" is a WORD this evening.

A Black man named Keith Porter was shot and killed by an ICE officer on New Year’s Eve. Marimar Martinez was shot five times by an ICE officer in Chicago who went on to brag about leaving seven holes in her body. This is not new but it is expanding.

For me it was The Good Place. I have never seen a show end so beautifully and so perfect.

Any article observing that the AI bubble is about to burst *but then suggesting AI is too important to our financial systems to be allowed to fail* is missing the point. Generative AI is a massive fraud and a brain drain on humanity, even leaving theft and resource issues aside.

welcome home to your parents’ house, the channels are Yellowstone, masterpiece mystery, and Jimmy fallon, btw someone from your high school died in a real weird way

this field biologist does a great job highlighting the insidiousness of AI editing these one-click AI edit buttons are incredibly appealing to many photographers, amateurs and professionals alike, and are framed as innocuous this is worth sharing and educating people about

Video of a daycare raid in Chicago went viral last week, showing armed federal agents dragging a teacher from Rayito de Sol Spanish Immersion Early Learning Center as children watched in terror. To the families at the daycare, the scene was a show of force that shattered their sense of safety.

Having a very anxiety ridden, overstimulated night and cannot sleep. Which wouldn’t be such an issue except I have a dr. appointment in 6 hours. Which means after I will be dead for the rest of the day.

I don’t care who you are, the one thing that links all of the -isms and bigotries together and sets them on fire is eugenics and ableism. They’ve been playing you all the entire time. There is no progress in this country for ANYTHING without equity for disabled people.

If we as a country cared about disability and therefore healthcare and access, they would not be building AI centers in Black neighborhoods.

Make it good, make it bad, make it with your own mind, heart, and soul. I want to read it the way YOU wrote it. I want to see it the way YOU’D draw it. I want to hear it the way YOU’D play it. Participate in the act of creation.

Yuuuuuuuuup.

I called Ossoff about this yday, but I may call again today tbh. He's worried about reelection but he has to know that if he screws this up he's gonna lose us. (If your senator is one of the few listed here, please call!)

Teen Vogue changed my life and their politics team was doing incredible journalism comparable to very little other publications. I can't say I'm not disappointed with this decision. Sending y'all love❤️

Last night was my 13th time seeing Murder by Death. They have been my favorite band for over 20 years and my heart will be missing a piece after they retire. #AlasIMustGo

Good Boy was a great movie! That dig acted better than most humans I have watched!

✨it’s her month✨ 🎨✨

Introduce yourself with the last five concerts you saw: - Cat Mountain - Reggie Watts - Lawrence - Hozier - Ziggy Marley (Honorable mention to Neil Degrasse Tyson but idk if that counts as a concert.)

You ever eat a nice warm meal of nice comforting chicken noodle soup but then that cozy sleepy feeling turns into outright fainting because your body decided blood for digestion was more important than blood for brain? Anyways vasovagal syncope is a bitch.

I've always said this, but since last November, I've been pointing this out frequently in whatever venues to whatever audiences I can: "The planet NASA studies most is Earth."

This is me if you even care

sherman, for the love of god!

Look. If your partner is regularly laid up with chronic pain or illness, and you say they can’t keep candy in the bedroom because it will attract mice, then I think it’s only fair that you get them a snack when they have the munchies. #wheresmyreesecup #sadness

What a delight to learn that most people aren't in fact raging LGBTQ-phobic shitweasels

As a theoretical cosmologist, I'm frequently asked "what is the benefit of the work you're doing for people's lives?" Nothing I work on makes money or cures disease. There are a few different answers one can give, at various levels of "convincing" / "actually relevant to why the work is done." 1/🧵

My therapist just told me “I feel like we are all collectively in that Edvard Munch ‘The Scream’ painting right now.” So that’s how it’s going.

We are here because policing in the U.S. has been this way for generations. This is why ICE acts with impunity. They know they can act this way.

I'm sorry for having a fat ass, I didn't do it on purpose

@mikeflanaganfilm.com are there any recent books you have read that you would love to see adapted (by you or someone else?)

If true, this is the latest example of Donald Trump, Kash Patel, and the entire administration weaponizing the federal government to silence speech and deny our LGBTQ+ community’s existence. Plus, it’s illegal.

Holy hell. DHS just openly stated that its agents use “reasonable suspicion” to make ARRESTS. This is blatantly unconstitutional. The Supreme Court is clear that you need probable cause to arrest someone, as opposed to stop them to ask them a question or two. This is huge b/c…

I think we need to emphasize hobbies again. Doomscrolling and trolling are too prevalent and I think society would be better as a whole if that energy were directed to baking bread or knitting or collecting cool rocks or something. We need more hobbies.

The real generational divide is people who refuse to watch a video if it could be an article versus people who refuse to read an article if it could be a video

Twelve years ago, our world was united. We didn’t let things like party lines or who we loved divide us. We all looked forward to a brighter future. It is time we get back to what truly matters… ..It is time to bring back the Harlem Shake.

🚨BREAKING NEWS: Congresswoman files articles of impeachment against RFK Jr. We've been sounding the alarm for months, sending 3k+ quack-o-grams, and collecting 25k petition signatures calling on our reps to impeach & remove RFK Jr. We’re closing in on him. Help us WIN the fight. 🦆 zurl.co/vkZQV

I would always rather be us than them, every fucking day, no matter how angry or scared I get trading our humanity for the feeble hope that proximity to power will protect us is not fucking worth it we all die as we live and their picture of what "success" looks like is truly so fucking bleak

As you cancel streaming services, here is a casual reminder that only 16% of Americans read for pleasure anymore, and your local library has hundreds or thousands of books you haven't read. They would love to see you stop by and renew your library card.
