I saw a tragically AI-generated version of this poster, so I have recreated a 100% human-made version for all your protest sign needs.

I'm gonna run for President and my platform will be "Trump promised to lower drug prices by 800 percent. My plan will lower them 1 million percent, in some cases a billion percent. Why are we wasting our time with hundreds of percent?"

Hanging onto every bit of good news The river has come alive in the Klamath with wild Chinook salmon. The wider ecosystem is healing. This most powerful story of Indigenous-led #rewilding after the largest dam removal in US history keeps getting better. lostcoastoutpost.com/2025/oct/9/o...

This has nothing to do with crime. This is an attempt to crush political dissent. Never before, in our entire 250 year history, has the military or immigration agents been used like this. It's dystopian, illegal, and it should stop.

"What you see before you is my 14,000-square-foot testament to taste, triumph, and unrepentant hubris. A five-bed, six-bath new-construction McMansion with a gaping spiritual wound that can never truly heal."

The high-electricity-demand season in California is over. For the 3rd year in a row, CA has issued ZERO Flex Alerts (call for voluntary conservation when demand approaches supply), a first since Flex Alerts were created 25 years ago. And the primary reason is ... batteries. 🔌💡

This was always the funniest conspiracy theory to me — that there are MRI machine-like devices that can cure all known illnesses in seconds, but the government has been hiding them — and Trump just posted an AI generated video of himself announcing they're real. We're cooked!

This is terrible. Not allowing 2nd years to apply leaves so many talented young scientists out to dry. "...for the past decade, NSF has only allowed students to apply once during graduate school, and many are given advice to wait until their second year, when their applications will be stronger."

So last time he was President, 92% of the tariff revenue went to aid to farmers who were devastated by the trade war. So not only do we wreck the economy and tax people more regressively, the revenue just barely covers the damages in one sector. www.cfr.org/blog/92-perc...

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA 10 YEAR OLD ME IS LOSING HER MIND (a thread 🧵)

Kimmel is up on YouTube

Critics of renewables often point to land use as a reason not to invest in wind & solar. Land use IS a real issue for all energy assets incl renewables (unless on-site). But what critics conveniently forget is the huge land impact of fossil fuels. Aerial view of fracking sites in Wickett, Texas. 👇

Tom Homan was investigated for accepting $50,000 from undercover FBI agents. Trump's DOJ shut it down. The FBI and Justice officials closed the investigation, which a Justice Department appointee had called a “deep state” probe in early 2025. www.msnbc.com/msnbc/news/t...

The thing about investing in public transit is that it *scales* — the more people use it, the better it gets. For everyone. Whereas the more cars there are, the *worse* everything about driving gets. Traffic. Parking. [Ever noticed that in just about every car ad it’s alone on the road? Yeah.]

Jeffrey Epstein’s estate has given Congress a copy of the 2003 birthday book, including the letter with Trump’s signature that he has said doesn’t exist. Read more: 🔗 on.wsj.com/4nGGdnJ

🚨🚨HERE IT IS: We got Trump’s birthday note to Jeffrey Epstein that the President said doesn’t exist. Trump talks about a “wonderful secret” the two of them shared. What is he hiding? Release the files!

Extremely relevant episode of @planetmoney.bsky.social podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/p...

The President of the United States is threatening to go to war with an American city. This is not a joke. This is not normal. Donald Trump isn't a strongman, he's a scared man. Illinois won’t be intimidated by a wannabe dictator.

When I have to randomly put a bunch of dots on a map, I too copy paste clusters and rotate them around to make it look like they are actually different

One of the awesome bits of supernova science I always love is when someone finds a new ancient record of a supernovae! In this case new Arabic records for SN1181 and SN1006 from poems! arxiv.org/abs/2509.04127

"It's not my home."

I miss the old brand #CDC

A higher resolution pic than my screenshot that captured the salute, from Alyssa Pointer (Reuters) – press weren’t allowed past the front gate for security reasons.

Devastating photos by journalists Mariam Dagga and Hussam Al-Masri of the suffering and destruction in Gaza, shortly before Israeli forces killed them too

“Stringer noted that real police officers do not wear ski masks.” I think I see a problem…

Justice Jackson Correctly Defines The John Roberts Supreme Court As The Calvinball Court In theory, the nice thing about having a Supreme Court is that it provides some level of legal certainty. You know how the system works: lower courts make decisions based on law and precedent, parties can…

This is the best product listing copy I’ve ever read

Early this morning, an Army Joint Light Tactical Vehicle was involved in an accident with a civilian car on Capitol Hill in Washington D.C. D.C. Police confirm to me that the driver of one of the vehicles was transported to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

"I don't want to hurt you, stop fighting back, you're hurting yourself" is literally the language of an abuser. One of the most banally horrifying things about this administration is that there is no subtext, no dog whistles, no need for interpretive work. It's all just explicit racism and cruelty.

Samuel Kangethe has lived in the U.S. for nearly two decades, but an unresolved immigration case has made him deportable. He's decided to return to Kenya, leaving his wife and three children behind.

My own child who is in college will not go to office hours. He's heard me complain about this all his life, and yet... what can we do about this? The not-so-secret secret to success in college: GO TO OFFICE HOURS, ask questions, get help, listen to others' questions... It fucking "works"!

A useful WaPo map of where Trump Storm Troops are actually operating in DC. www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202... If you know DC, what this map tell you is: They're making the gaudy show of strength in areas where it matters least and will do least good. Except for sheer spectacle.

@gavinnewsom.bsky.social: "Wake the fuck up to what's going on in this country... We're going to put everything on the damn line... People haven't given up yet. We're going to do this. We can win this November. We can win next November, and then we can get this country back on track."

The DC Cir majority lifts the ban on firing CFPB staff bc there was “no…statement, written or oral, purporting to shut down the CFPB” & noting the gov’t “does not claim the power to ‘shut down’ the CFPB.” But then AG Bondi tweets out: actually, that’s been the plan all along! x.com/agpambondi/s...

Red - the juice of tomatoes! Black - the dark of olives sliced!

Officer Daniel Hodges: "Jan. 6 was an actual emergency that they could have activated the National Guard for...But Trump sat in his little chair and watched us get beaten on Fox. I had someone try to gouge out my eyes, someone beat me with my baton. But apparently that wasn't a national emergency."

This is one of the most beautiful things I have witnessed, the craft here is impeccable.

The worst single-day crime spree in modern Washington history, of course, took place on Jan. 6, 2021. Trump issued no order to the National Guard to intervene -- Mike Pence did -- and later pardoned the perpetrators.

The decision to deploy troops comes as the president has been slamming America’s cities as places where crime is out of control, despite two years of declines that have brought homicide levels in many major cities to their lowest levels in decades. wapo.st/4owUXqk

How can any American with a shred of respect for democracy and/or education continue to defend this kind of blatantly illegal, corrupt, and self-destructive malfeasance?

Screaming from the rooftops: If you've been EV-curious, these leases are EXTREMELY CHEAP and a great low-risk way to try out an EV. But you have to lease it before Sept. 30. Oh, and these are really great cars. Go do it! 🔌💡

there's an episode of The Simpsons where Marge tries to get a violent cartoon pulled from the airwaves, only to discover that the people backing her aren't going to stop at just the art that *she* doesn't like, and that supporting artistic freedom means accepting discomfort. It aired in 1990.
