Follow this thread. Most likely, and of course, all speculation right now, this is why Melania did her 6 min statement today. Amanda Ungaro was brought here as a 17-year-old model. She flew to NYC on Epstein's private plane. 1/2

He just posted a video of a woman being murdered, so YES MAYBE WE SHOULD CONSIDER THAT

Effective 2025 federal tax rates paid by these corporations: Alphabet: 8.01% AT&T: 4.6% Meta: 3.57% General Motors: 3.09% Amazon: 1.37% Exxon Mobil: 1.31% Disney: -1.57% CVS Health: -3.88% Income tax rate paid by the typical American: 14.5% This is what a rigged system looks like.

Last year the White House Correspondents Dinner abruptly unbooked Amber Ruffin. This year, Trump will be there and with all his “quiet piggy” abuse and outright censorship, they would never think of disinviting him. They are cowards and largely responsible for why we are where we are. Fuck them all.

This thread. 🔥

happy The Confederacy Lost The Damn War Day to everyone who celebrates, and a hearty fuck you to everyone who doesn't celebrate

Trump has threatened Pope Leo? Seriously, this is the shittiest administration and it's getting shittier. www.instagram.com/reel/DW410vt...

It is hard to capture what a sweeping strategic defeat the war in Iran has been for the United States. I’m going to thread here some of the posts today that try to capture those effects. Here’s the first:

This is also what I found with every former friend and acquaintance I knew that voted for Trump. They all had one thing in common: Trump promised to punish a group of people they didn't like.

Again: What was the point?

This doesn’t seem hyperbolic now

Armageddon is terrible, but our only other option was diversity trainings at work.

you have to get him out of office and you have to do it today even if it gets blocked you force an impeachment vote right now how else can you live with yourself if he follows through with this and you didn’t do everything you could to stop it

nasa employee: oh hey, shouldn't u b back by now astronaut: earth's stupid nasa employee: what? astronaut: *eating zero g Nutella and diverting to Venus*: earth's stupid

I don't know why I'm amazed at this, but... the politeness, the professionalism, the mutual respect, the calm from the NASA crew and mission support, it's just... breathtaking. The vocabulary used. The KINDNESS. The science is beautiful, but this is beautiful, too.

The best way to explain AI in humanities classrooms is as kudzu. Much as kudzu was introduced in the 19th century and later touted for its ability to stop erosion in the 1930s, AI is invasive, takes constant culling, and instead of stopping erosion is in actuality consuming our individuality.

This Reddit post is formatted like a joke but it’s actually a very dry recitation - at times, direct quotes - of America’s public war strategy over the last month. This can’t go on. This is deranged. Impeach and imprison.

Thank God they rescued that missing airman. I may find this war wrong and illegal, but I don't want anyone to die in service of it.

And even if you take this out of its humanitarian context and are mercenary with it, nobody seems to want to acknowledge the role of soft power in any of this. As noted, China is picking up where we are leaving off. We are losing on two fronts. Thanks, Musk, you shithead.

the defense secretary who was plucked off a couch at fox news is arguing about jesus with the fucking POPE in case you’re wondering how things are going

Pope Leo XIV carried the cross across all fourteen stations for over an hour. The prayers named children who had been “taken away and imprisoned during protests, deported by policies devoid of compassion, shipwrecked on desperate journeys of hope, killed in war zones, and wiped out in death camps.”

#StayReadyCrew Sadly…this is a damn good political slogan. It’s sad that we’re here. These prices are not sustainable and buying on sale is going to be key. money.com/federal-mini...

This articulates the something that many of us who came of age in the 90s never could really name, but always knew and felt existed: men discussing amongst themselves how best to silence us.

Mr Maz read this to me from our hardcopy of The Onion and i laughed until I cried, and was indignant about this horse getting cake. Read it, I promise it's worth it.

I left the church decades ago but the Good Friday service is the one I am always tempted to go back to every year, because it is truly amazing from a ritual construction standpoint. The Stations of the Cross is only part of it!

I hope this is a wake up call for all the mega Catholics who thought they were part of the group. Surprise! They don't even think you're Christian. I live across the street from a Catholic Church that was built during the height of the KKK in Indiana, specifically to look as Roman as possible.

“They’re destroying more than fifty research facilities across thirty-one states, labs that house decades of irreplaceable long-term science…And they’re replacing all of it — the offices, the scientists, the institutional knowledge, the professional independence — with fifteen political appointees”

First of all, it's not Easter yet. Second of all, nobody's out there saying happy day the Lord died day, what the hell is wrong with you? Good Friday is supposed to be a time of solemn reflection, and I don't need other people to talk about it. Are you sure you know what this season is about?

God, this classic.

Chills!

WHAT THE FUCK. This entire starts about the 19th amendment then devolves into whipping women with belts.

God, those were good times.

Still this one (I hear the angel voiced as Samuel L. Jackson):

Christ, can we just...de-elect whatever the fuck this is?

In case you didn't listen, or couldn't. Here's a good recap by one of the best attys on Bluesky.

Happy Trans Day of Visibility #TDOV We're not going anywhere.

Frightening x100. We ALL rely on them to keep us informed and safe. We’re talking everything from severe weather preparedness to food safety to environmental disaster recovery.

Seriously, @mlb.com , STOP calling Indianapolis the local market for both Chicago and Cincinnati. WE AREN'T. And for away games even? Ffs, this is bullshit.

Some pics from the Indianapolis No Kings Rally

And formally, according to our law, Depose him

Once again today, posting this for everyone who cannot bear to be frightened at the will of others.

😂

I should be furious about this beach of our FBI directors security but instead Im laughing. That's how shitty this administration is and how fucked everything is.

“That just doesn’t make sense to me — when the richest people have the smallest effective tax rate, that does not seem like a very fair system.” #LiftTheCap

This is heartbreaking...and reflects the grief of many scientists around the nation, myself included. "Discovery as a birthright" is what @standupforscience.net is all about.
