Anyway. They spent the last decade telling us STEM degrees were the future and the Humanities were worthless then they spent hundreds of billions of dollars to build a glitchy Humanities robot.

Forcing the AG to publicly defend every redaction, line-by-line, would be a fun exercise.

Trump got high on his own supply & never figured out the only reason his 1st term wasn’t even more of a disaster was that he inherited & coasted on a good economy. He’s learning the hard way now. Nuts senile person having nuke codes when you also can’t find a job is tough scenes

I hope people understand that if Trump gets his way America will soon be part of the global axis of evil if we aren't already. You see it in the Caribbean, you see it in Ukraine, and you see it with Trump trying to buddy up to Xi. We are a malevolent force.

On International Day of People with #Disabilities, please note some disabilities are invisible #Disability #invisibleillness #disabled #disabledpeople #IDPD #IDPD2025 #IDPD25

There is no reason for anyone to be intimidated by this unpopular failing lame duck whose mental and physical health is circling the drain

For me it's the way the press pool just quietly went along with it because he's the president The entire point of this country is that we don't have to let some guy do whatever he wants just because of his title. We don't have to respect him or go along with him just because he holds an office

If you have tenure at Texas A&M and aren't maliciously emailing the president a dozen times every day to ask if you can say this or you can say that, then what's the point in having tenure?

He’s mad that trusts in the tameness of a wolf

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

“every time theres a republican president the economy collapses” feels like pretty easy messaging on the economy

The White House, and America, and the Constitutional order -- all in a pile of rubble because a petty tyrant wants to break things and remake them in his image.

The No Kings protests have been some of the most peaceful and well attended political assemblies in American history. In fact, MAGA has mocked them as a bunch of boomer grandmothers. Now they are apparently terrorists. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Republicans are desperate to manufacture violence in America, to justify an onslaught of violent repression against Americans.

The theme of the rally is No Kings, and it's hard to think of a more pro-American sentiment than that.

Has Trump said anything about his former “spiritual leader”, Robert Morris, who was just sentenced to 6 months in prison for sexually abusing a 12-year-old girl? Will the media even bother to ask him?

Trumpnomics: Get tariff money from US consumers on Chinese goods. Our farmers can’t sell their products because the Chinese refuse to pay our tariffs. China buys from farmers in Argentina instead. We send Argentina $20 billion. Then we pay our farmers to throw their crops away.

Our remedies oft in ourselves do lie, Which we ascribe to heaven.

The media have to start framing this accurately. The president is now functioning as a tyrant. The story is whether the other two branches of government will do anything to stop him.

I guess Trump and RFK Jr weren’t happy with the studies that said sperm from older men significantly raises the risk of autism.

Let me just say a simple thing. Democrats have no obligation to provide the votes to fund the destruction of our democracy. If you want my vote for a bipartisan budget, there need to be protections to stop Trump's brazen lawlessness.

Just in case any of y'all thought they'd actually filibuster the appropriations bills coming with all the anti-trans provisions and shut the government down. Call your senators, demand no anti-trans and anti-LGBTQ+ provisions in appropriations bills.

Goodnight, loon Goodnight, all those waiting for The News to come soon Goodnight, "proof" of life Goodnight, garbage wife Goodnight, weird hand bruises Goodnight, red hat losers Goodnight, nobody Goodnight, cow And goodnight to the internet whispering "let it be now"

Hey, as a librarian I need to tell you: Our funding depends on usage. So go ahead and check out that book even if you don't think you'll finish it. No one will know. Check out that DVD even though you might not like it. Get ambitious in your quest for knowledge.

It’s time to wake up - we are literally on the verge of losing our democracy if Donald Trump cheats his way to those seats in Texas.

Racism is why we’re never going to have universal healthcare in this country. Because some white folks will die themselves rather than see a Black person get a goddamn thing.

Every blue-haired they/them liberal arts grad living in NYC is tougher than this sad little bitch.

A lot of this country’s problems boil down to straight white men who see themselves as some sort of default “normal” but any variation on that as “an identity” that is “political”

Genuinely makes me feel insane how they keep talking about it like it’s a cash benefit, on top of which the person being described here probably couldn’t get a job that provides health insurance

Say what you will about Trump threatening to strip citizenship from his critics and have immigrants put into concentration camps in a swamp, but he never did anything truly power-mad like forgive student loans.

Large majorities of Americans, including many Republican voters, oppose bombing Iran. They might want to weigh in with both the House and the Senate. US Capitol switchboard: 202-224-3121.

So he can't pump and dump with the tariffs anymore because people finally caught on so now he has to pretend to start a war instead

Speeches are nice. Actions matter now. Do what little you can while you still can. Stop fucking around.

Hey dickheads, the midterms are way too far away for them to be your whole plan.

Sigh. I feel for parents, I really do. Masking kids is hard, especially when theres institutional and peer pressure not to. But once your kid is sick with long covid, there is no going back. Maybe not ever. www.news week.com/why-are-so-many-children-getting-long-covid-2080950

When you allow Fox News and only Fox News to be played in every Army gym, dental clinic, Battalion commander's office, and DFAC for 30 years this is what you get.

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

What state has the most Republicans? California. What state has the second most Democrats? Texas. The Red State/Blue State dichotomy does a lot more to "other" than it does to inform.

I wish journalists would stop framing political news as wins or losses for politicians or political parties. It’s an abrogation of our mission. Why do we keep doing this? Is the spending bill a win or loss for the American people? Who does it help? Who does it hurt? Is it sound policy? Fiscally?

Reposting this for ME/CFS awareness day bc this is spot-on and still stings.

ME/CFS awareness day 💙

Saturday, May 10 is Stamp Out Hunger Day, when you can leave a bag of non-perishable food near your mailbox and USPS will deliver it to the local food bank for you.

Yes, let’s just ask Americans to wear a mask in public for a few months to keep old and immunocompromised people alive and see what happens

They'll say you're overreacting until they start demanding to know why no one warned them

The math here is simple. Republicans have passed a budget framework where very large cuts to Medicaid will have to occur. Now, they are preemptively shifting the blame for those cuts to Governors, who cannot engage in deficit spending. All of this is for a regressive tax cut.

This is the absolute truth. Too many electeds now consider their political careers first, and their constituents last. You're there to create legislation & work to govern the nation, not fold to bullies. If it's that easy to give away your Constitutional powers, you don't belong there.

A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die. Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.

This is a big deal. Spread the word. But it’s tiny compared to the totality of what’s happening at NIH. Cure Research for all cancers, Alzheimer’s, everything is being gutted. Intentionally. It’s all getting burned to the ground but the news isn’t getting out. The new cures won’t be there for you.
