I just want everyone to have the experience of living in dignity with access to sufficient food, safe housing, needed medical care, high quality education, and time to engage with what sparks their curiosity and spirit this should not be controversial 🫠

My red line has always been lowering health costs for Americans. Donald Trump and Republicans don’t want an agreement that meets that bar. I’m a no.

football’s all like gimme that coconut i want it it’s beautiful but tennis is all like fuck this stupid lemon i hate it

"i asked grok" "i asked chatgpt" yeah well i asked carl sagan and he said the greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance but the illusion of knowledge 🧪

Senate update: Republicans are now trying to sneak a backdoor national abortion ban into their government funding bill. Republicans will stop at nothing to control women's health care decisions.

It was a foggy morning so we climbed above the cloud bank and found the crisp fall sunshine. Happy humans, happy doggos, happy world, even if only for a moment

“It’s not that those things don’t matter: they absolutely goddamn do, & will keep on mattering, & I wouldn’t go on with the whole tedious business of teaching if I thought otherwise. It’s just that they never mattered much to the Times & they are, to appearances, mattering less and less by the day.”

We're disappointed to see Ben Barres's powerful book "The Autobiography of a Transgender Scientist" among the ~400 titles removed from the Naval Academy Library. Needless to say, we're proud to have published his book and will keep it — and his memory — alive.

Get him, Lore 🎾🎾🎾

I read this book when I was 15 and fell in love with DNA. I re-read it at 32 with lived experience in Science and it filled me with rage. I cannot pick up that book now. It reveals what women were/are up against.

The teen whose city council testimony went viral has started an online fundraiser to raise money for Hillsboro community members whose loved ones have been impacted by ICE enforcement.

LOL QED

conversations about Watson's death rn are a potent reminder that racism and/or misogyny have RARELY been professionally disqualifying, especially in this country

This is Just to Say I have ruined the workplace with my very presence and which you were probably using for bro time Forgive me it’s like a Montessori preschool in here now

Anisimova-Sabalenka is a guaranteed barn-burner

Happy Women in Physics Day to all of the amazing women and gender minorities in physics!! We are still greatly under-represented at all levels, so we need to continue encouraging girls and young women to consider studying physics and make systemic changes to the climate in the field. ⚛️ 🎢 👩‍🔬 🧪

It's irritating that they describe the effects of his racism as limited to causing controversy within science and reputational consequences for himself rather than giving an immeasurable boost, false veneer of legitimacy, and idiot-friendly prestige to modern scientific racism and eugenics.

Yeah this is one of thousands of public health things that Republicans were warned about before they decided to cast their lot with the everyone inject bleach guy.

Did women ruin the workplace?

Wisconsin State Senator confirms SNAP recipients in the state have received their November benefits.

HUGE NEWS! Because of Democratic pressure, Oregon SNAP recipients are reporting their cards have the FULL November benefits!   Everyone who called out Trump for using hungry children and seniors as a bargaining chip has WON with tremendous results!!

As a neuroscientist, I’d suggest there is a profound disconnect between what *some* computer scientists think is representative of “intelligence”, cognitive ability, or descriptions of consciousness from some in AI work. LLMs are not how neural systems process information, nor how brains function.

This is my son’s soccer teammate. This is heartbreaking to watch, no kid should go through this. I know his parents, they are good people. No family should endure this. The cruelty and evil actions of the trump administration and ICE are tearing families and communities apart.

What is a ... "masculine virtue" ? As a person who spends most of their time in community whose medium of exchange is "Virtue" I can tell you i have not come across a "virtue" that is masculine

Oh every fucking word of this

President Trump claimed the National Guard was needed in "war-ravaged" Portland. But a @propublica.org review of protests in the months leading up to his claims -- including more than 700 (!!) videos -- show a different reality. via @robwdavis.bsky.social and Steve Suo

Blumenthal: We’re going to continue finding more of the ballroom donors who evidently didn’t want their names revealed. And let me name them: BlackRock, Susquehanna International, Nvidia, OpenAI, Vantive, and Extremity Care. And so, we will use every possible resource to expose this corruption to

I need more people to understand the movement that could be brewing here in Georgia if this young man only lost by 87 votes in COBB COUNTY.

What's happening in TX-18 is more obscene than not seating Grijalva during pro formas. Turner died in March. Abbott delayed the special election until yesterday, and now it goes to a runoff early *next year.* Congress can and should require special elections to be held within 90 days of a vacancy.

i closed out my column this week with this preemptive jab at basically every commentator currently looking for ways to say that last night didn’t count

dawg they’re live laugh loving the white house. president homegoods

Lol, get rekt fascists

BREAKING: Democrat Johnny DuPree has flipped a Republican-held Mississippi Senate district in a special election. DuPree was previously the mayor of Hattiesburg. His win imperils the Mississippi Senate GOP's narrow supermajority. www.mississippifreepress.org/democrat-joh...

BREAKING: Democrats just broke the GOP supermajority in the Mississippi Senate! In a stunning victory, Democrats gained seats in court-ordered special elections and will now head to Jackson to represent and fight on behalf of their constituents.

Mamdani: "We believe in standing up for those we love. Whether you are an immigrant, a member of the trans community, one of the many Black women that Donald Trump has fired from a federal job ... your struggle is ours too."

Zohran at the rally for trans youth on february 8 ❣️ he was polling single digits.

Came here to say this, but Jamelle Bouie has this covered. 👇 When the Democratic tent includes candidates like Spanberger and Mamdani, there is no crisis, or fight, for the party. IT’S A COALITION, NOT A POINT ESTIMATE.

Who we used to have to buy weed from before legalization

Oregon On The Record talked with Senator Wyden about the government shutdown. #klcc #ronwyden

Elected Democrats spending more time today praising Dick Cheney than Zohran Mamdani is a great case study in abject fucking moral failure.

We’re going to the Supreme Court this week! Oregon is leading the multistate lawsuit challenging the president’s illegal tariffs. We’ll be presenting our case in front of the U.S. Supreme Court in DC on Wednesday.
