Meanwhile, in Vermont… People are getting gassed for protesting ICE. Yep, that’s still going on. America sure is great, isn’t it? #Vermont #ICE #SouthBurlington

@whipkclark.bsky.social delivered a #CupOfJoe w/ a latte truth about the SAVE Act. It would put more red tape between women & the ballot box.⁠ ⁠Why?⁠ They’re scared of women voters. Their goal is to take women’s rights backwards. Fuck that. We will #KeepMovingForward!

Yesss!!! TN infrastructure NEEDS this! And the people want it!

'Science makes people reach selflessly for truth and objectivity; it teaches people to accept reality, with wonder and admiration, not to mention the deep awe and joy that the natural order of things brings to the true scientist.' -Lise Meitner, Austrian nuclear scientist #Science #Physics

“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...This is not a way of life...it is humanity hanging from a cross of iron.” -Dwight Eisenhower 1953

There is little reason to believe America’s military campaign against a Middle Eastern regime will have a different result from the costly chaos that ensued in every previous case, warns Philip Gordon

Proof your public library loves you: they leave you alone when you're reading, they love when you bring your kids over, and they'll literally let you borrow any book you want...even their hardcovers

So is the state of the union pay per view this year?

He really is an idiot.

@barackobama.bsky.social: "When I was POTUS, I suppose I could have simply unilaterally ordered the military to go into some red state and harass and intimidate a governor or cut off funding for states that didn't vote for me... but that is contrary to how I think our democracy is supposed to work."

“i don’t stay up to date on politics” just say you’re stupid and lack empathy

masked, unidentified goons who assault and murder with impunity. a literal gestapo.

The Epstein Files Transparency Act is a law, passed by Congress on November 19 with an overwhelming vote. Complying with it was not optional. The Department of Justice did not comply. I want to make sure this is very clear.

I was going to try to say…something about the year behind us and the year ahead but I couldn’t think of anything better than this post I have thought of often over the past challenging year.

I did not know this word, cryptogyny, but I feel like I’ve written about it many times.

Hans Bethe, the scientist who worked in both the Manhattan Project & USA H-bomb programs, wrote in 1983 a 40 page history called "The Story of Los Alamos." It seems not to be publicly available online except where I have made it so, free for all: osf.io/thjpk #NukeSKY 1/n

Trumpkennedycenter.org Is live, with a soft launch preview before the official launch in January. Seems Mr. Sue ‘Em when he doesn’t get his way thinks parking domains is a crime. @tobymorton.bsky.social isn’t playing games Who else thinks he’ll wish it was just parked?

It's #caturday and I randomly remembered this video that @anamariecox.bsky.social post on twitter 15 years ago. I will never forget this song and now... neither will you guys. youtu.be/bpfbbolyOKY?...

A team led by physicist Chien-Shiung Wu obtained the first experimental confirmation of “parity violation,” in the decay of Cobalt-60, #OTD in 1956. Her theory colleagues received a Nobel for the prediction, but she was left off the prize. 🧪 ⚛️ 👩‍🔬 Image: Smithsonian Institution Archives

A Denisovan skull should have helped clarify who the group was and what role they played in human evolution. Instead it has done the opposite

Merry Christmas! Michelle and I hope you have a wonderful holiday filled with light and joy.

"You idiot. It's not the police. It's HIM."

Bjork’s song Jólakötturinn, about the giant Yule Cat of Iceland. If you aren’t good, you don’t get new clothes. And if you don’t get new clothes, Jólakötturinn eats you. “He opened his eyes widely Making both glow It was not for cowards To look into them”

I loved this. And I want to note the whole “there were no autistic people before …” discourse has an answer here: just the people were sent away in the incarceration (yes “care homes” like this), and if they fled, they were just abandoned by society, usually to die.

Merry Christmas.

To all who celebrate.

When are we getting to the "he didn't buddy up to Epstein while he was president" defense?

Remember: It ys okaye to be lonelye. It ys okaye to feel lost. It ys okaye to be sad. It ys okaye yf nobody ys arounde. It ys okaye to have no plannes or just small plannes. It ys okaye to have big plannes that seem exhausting. It ys okaye to be a mess. Take care of thyself. Thou art amazinge.

Happy Festivus Eve. I hope everyone is ready with their grievances and prepared for the Feat!

The country mourned a beloved filmmaker. Trump’s first instinct was to desecrate. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

I can't stop thinking about the purported drug smugglers being murdered by the US military. The punishment for drug offenses isn't the death penalty. This is just bloodlust and men in suits playing with lives they don't care about. It's truly grotesque and gravely compromises this country.

Let's remember that everyone's life experience is different. Trump supporters have different life experience than the rest of us. Pity over judgement.

'Trump Library' are 2 words I never thought would be in the same sentence.

We are now into the "15 year olds are not THAT young" and "Without Trump, we have no one" level of defense.

Yes, they caved because many Democrats lack a coherent or compelling vision for their party. But the shortest answer for why Democrats caved is that Chuck Schumer is the party’s leader in the Senate. The fish rots from the head. trib.al/AaaXLnQ — @alexshephard.bsky.social

GOP promises? They're not worth the toilet paper they're smeared on.

Do your dog's paws smell like Fritos?
