Dear Nazi right-wingers: please start telling lies that do not contradict themselves within the same sentence. I’m starting to feel embarrassed for you and I really don’t want that.

the most important thing to remember when you see eugenicists who don’t believe that autistic people should exist rambling about “the autism epidemic” is not that they’re wrong about the “cause” (although they are absolutely wrong about it); it’s that they are eugenicists

No, New York Times. Jay Bhattacharya is not the 'chosen one' saving science — and platforming misinterpretations of his record, the NIH's work, and the way forward is not responsible journalism. Science has been working fine. MAHA Politics is what's thrown a wrench in the works. ➡️ zurl.co/L69il

According to the quacks running HHS, it’s Tylenol and not vaccines that causes autism. So, now that we “know” that, you think they’ll be restarting all the lifesaving childhood vaccine programs or nah?

GUESS WHAT WEEK IT IS

🚲 Today is World Car-Free Day! Have you ever imagined a city designed for people, not cars? Greenpeace Seoul teamed up with Korean cartoon artist @lazy.drawing to bring this vision to life 👇

BREAKING: This morning the Trump administration announced it will be designating The Wonder Pets a terrorist organization.

Thinking I may cancel everything. Movies/shows can come from the library. Any must-watch sports I can do at the bar. Fuck ‘em all. Give me a streaming outlet that actually believes in the 1st Amendment and I’ll sign up immediately.

Whew ! That was close! I just made out a check to Antifa but I couldn’t figure out where to send it since it doesn’t exist.

🚨BIG NEWS: Republicans just quietly added a line to a defense bill that would empower the Pentagon and Pete Hegseth to deploy armed private mercenaries inside the U.S. at the southern border for the first time in American history.

Here’s the theory: Democrats, the party that can’t get organized enough to unify support around a wildly popular NYC mayoral candidate, are secretly running a mind-bogglingly expansive, strictly organized, fully funded and entirely secret terrorist organization that managed—through Helldivers 2

Happy Pythagorean triple day (9/16/25) y'all's

Look, as long as you’re not speaking Spanish with dark skin, or working as a Korean engineer, or going in the “wrong” bathroom, or writing an op-ed for a student newspaper, or trying to play women’s sports, or driving a Venezuelan boat, or quoting Charlie Kirk, or marching in the streets, or living

Opinion | I’ve dedicated my career to promoting free speech on college campuses. Here’s why the murder of a red state college dropout by another red state college dropout means it’s time to fire liberal professors in blue states.

Guys I think this is one of those “common sense” opinions inspired by the late “civil,” “moderate,” “Christian” Charlie Kirk.

Please listen. It lays out just how Kavanaugh’s shadow docket op exposed his own failure to do his job. He -lacks even a passing understanding of the Constitution -doesn’t know what duties SCOTUS is, by law, supposed to perform -cannot comprehend the basic facts of a case slate.com/podcasts/ami...

Fortunately Jodi Ernst prepared us for this moment by reminding us that “We are all going to die.”

I have serious doubts as to whether, after all of its politically-motivated firings, the FBI has the capacity and expertise to actually investigate Kirk’s murder. The lawsuit filed today against Patel and the Bureau describes a complete clown show that leaves all of us less safe

Six Supreme Court Justices demonstrating a complete failure to read the Constitution. Kavanaugh in his concurring opinion also demonstrates no ability to read the news. It’s possible he can’t read at all. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Someone this clearly out of touch with reality ought to be removed immediately.

Doctor: They are not trying to run an agency, they are trying to get the agency to do what RFK Jr wants. They pulled data off their website. They are issuing guidelines about vaccination that don't comport with the science. We are well into the play here of dismantling the CDC as we know it

“If you have time to tell the truth, you’re not doing your job. “You don’t see Republicans going around studying facts and ‘understanding’ things.”

So the Trump administration is shedding CDC officials like their flakes of dandruff, Trump’s approval is tanking on his handling of … wait for it … crime, and his people have just been busted running Putin-style psyops in Greenland. What will the NYT headlines be tomorrow?

RFK Jr’s attempts to ban the Covid vaccine as dangerous hit a cognitive dissonance wall if they are approved for people at “higher risk.” Either the vaccine is expected to kill the higher risk group, or to kill the general population by its being withheld from the public.

Happy Dog Day! Rosie is either doing this or tearing around the woods. Hard to get pics of her in the latter mode.

No new pictures, where are you mentally?

Huh. Seems like when we were afraid in 2016 that Trump would dismantle American democracy that it wasn’t just TDS after all.

When you’re a national pundit straight-up bullshitting about using proper terms for mass human extermination events it’s probably a good idea to keep your replies locked. Good job, Tom.

I can only imagine the show federal officers are going to put on for Trump tonight. Stay vigilant out there. If you see anything, send to marisakabas.04 on Signal.

The recent DOE climate science report misrepresents the work of many researchers. Carbon Brief asked those cited to review the parts of the report where their work was used, and we collectively found 100+ misleading or false statements: interactive.carbonbr...

People are so tired of hearing about Trump’s pedophilia. Could we please get back to talking about how Biden is old?

If you’re not a liberal in your 20s then you have no heart and if you’re not a conservative in your 40s then congrats you didn’t turn into a dumbass.

Nobody has time to take a bus to Nebraska.

The view from the International Space Station as an aurora meets the sunrise in space.

Remember when it got cold in Texas and the right wing told us wind farms don’t work in the cold but they forgot to tell Canada?

Right then... A quick review of the DOE's new 'critical review' of climate science. Whether it's worth a formal community response - I'm still not sure, but here's my first thoughts /thread/

Motherfucking wind farms…

The NIH’s 2024 budget of just under $37B generated $95B in economic activity in 2024 alone. 99.4% of new pharmaceuticals approved from 2010-2019 came from NIH-funded research. I’m hard pressed to think of anything that generates as much direct economic benefit as our NIH did before they destroyed it

Not surprisingly, he has the history wrong. The original Cleveland team was the Cleveland Spiders. They adopted the racist name later.

Dear God, no one is coming to help us. I sit at home and worry about health care and cancer drugs and he worries about team names. Hell, call them the Orange Skins after him . 🍊🏈

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”

Hello all you beautiful nerds! Have this sweet photo of a land snail from my hike off the Natchez Trace Parkway a couple of weeks ago. Some estimate there are nearly 40,000 species of land snails globally.
