I’m gifting this to all of you because this MUST BE TOLD. Trump is bulldozing Native American History. Satellite imagery reveals bulldozer marks running through about a third of the enormous fish etching inside the wild preserve that is over 1,000 yrs old! 🎁🔗 wapo.st/4eHD0TF

I am inarticulate with rage that we are, as a country, just going to go ahead and reinstate Jim Crow. in 2026. not the usual quiet, plausibly deniable ways of doing it. (or, yknow, having an actual universal franchise.) just open contempt for Black self-determination and human dignity.

Franklin said impeachment is needed for a leader who "rendered himself obnoxious," which is now one of my all-time favorite phrases

2/ "...patients who were recovering from #COVID began ...describing Ondine-like symptoms. They recalled episodes in which breathing no longer felt automatic—going long stretches without inhaling unless they willed themselves to do so".

The fact is it’s impossible to exist in this world the way that we want to. If we boycott every company that’s bad for the world or for us our options require massive amounts of research to find and are narrowed to a handful *none of this is advocacy for not trying, it’s simply a statement of fact

I'm glad I 1) stopped shopping at Target a couple years ago, and 2) avoid self-checkout whenever possible

Holy shit this screams “The National Academies have been compromised!!!!!!!!!!!” 🧪⚛️🔭

And it gets even better! 'Apron' was originally 'napron' - with 'nap' from the same Latin root, through Old French - and ALSO meant 'little tablecloth'. Then at some point after it was borrowed into English 'a napron' was reanalyzed as 'an apron'.

you know what, fuck it, why not

For REAL!

So I guess he's not coming to Philly this summer...

Wonder what this is going to be about?

As the United States celebrates its semiquincentennial, a new exhibit in Philadelphia is showing off rare printings of the Declaration of Independence.

This is real

This budget completely eliminates the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences Directorate. NSF funded my graduate education, and I also received a grant for one of those woke projects, of which I will always be very proud.

This weekend and always, NO LILIES FOR KITTIES. www.fda.gov/animal-veter...

OH HELL YES. NEIL GORSUCH, THE LAST JUSTICE OF THE MOCHICANS, ASKS "Do you think Native Americans are citizens of the united states." IF YOU TRIP GORSUCH'S NATIVE AMERICAN WIRES, YOU LOSE. GOOD DAY, SIR!

This is beautiful.

I think often of a New York Times photo of a little Iraqi girl tending to her parakeets in a bombed house, probably from 20 years ago now. I will think of this man and his sweet dog often now too. People just want to love what they love, care for their little beings, and instead we do this to them

From Shayan Sardarizadeh on Twitter. What an image. An Iranian girl plays on the swings on a beach in the city of Bandar Abbas near the Strait of Hormuz as plumes of smoke rise into the air from a nearby naval base that was targeted by strikes. Location: 27.181687, 56.308647

This summer is going to be insufferable

JUST IN: Democrats tonight have flipped a GOP-held state House seat in Florida. And not just any seat: This is the district that contains Mar-a-Lago. (It voted for Trump by 11% in 2024). That's right: Trump will now be represented by a Democrat, Emily Gregory, in Tallahassee.

Who's writing the book?

Budgets are value statements.

Good time to re-up this. Friends, immigrant support agencies could use your help in any way you can provide it. Do reach out to your local agency (HIAS is but one example) if you can and see what you can do.

As a former DC bike commuter, I am sad to read this. Because of the excellent cycling infrastructure, I was able to commute year round, even in the depths of winter. This administration is truly dedicated to ruining every good thing.

Judith Herman has written some powerful words on this. People tend to see victims as the source of harm because they were unaware of the violence until the victim spoke up. A lot want to go back to the day before they knew—not a time before the violence ever happened.

Wow

A bust indeed. But that’s what happens when you defund NOAA, lay off hundreds of NOAA employees, and order the military not to share satellite data with NOAA. #TrumpDidThat

Curious why the 1st District Satellite Election Office in South Philly was removed from Google Maps, and why they keep declining my suggestion to reinstate it.
