I don’t usually say watch videos but the payoff is worth it.

Feeling overwhelmed with all of this. LISTEN. Another Louisiana resident (Marshawn is the only name we have) testifies against the state’s racial gerrymander, speaking truth to power up and down the hearing room and predicts how this story will end. Speak your truth, fight and believe.

Bravo to there person who has put these flyers all over Capitol Hill and even thought to put them in waterproof sleeves.

Tom Nichols about the dangers of our current situation: “If I were a foreign opponent, I’d be looking into this and saying: this is singularly the most incompetent American regime we’ve ever faced and they’re burning through their stocks.” @radiofreetom.bsky.social

And we've got splashdown of Artemis II!!!

We now have regained signal with Artemis Il!!!

We now have loss of signal with Artemis II, and it will be about 40 minutes until we get it back.

Happy Easter!!!

Here's a photo of Earth taken by Artemis II. I particularly love that one can see both auroras in it!!!

McGovern: How the hell is this America first? You guys broke your top campaign promise. Good luck with that. I hope the defense contractor money was worth it. Shame on you all. The mask is off. You're all just a bunch of pathetic Neocon Warmongers.

This is an interesting thread about Algebra, but it also applies to how we should be thinking about AI. bsky.app/profile/iris...

And Everett himself was the first to recognize the greatness of Lincoln's remarks given that day.

In order to understand how to deal with people, you need to understand how they think. Most Americans don’t understand how white supremacists think. And most white Americans don’t understand how white supremacists think either. It’s a mental illness, affecting a subset of the population.

Happy Saturnalia!!!

Terrific

Incredible shot of an incredible Baptist pastor, @revdrmichaelwoolf.bsky.social. I reported last week about him getting shot with pepper ball by Illinois State Police outside ICE facility: publicwitness.wordandway.org/p/baptist-pa... Today they violently arrested him during vigil. What a photo.

Friday Night Lights Redux A playoff spot in the 2025 District 2-5A Division I in Texas was determined via coinflip. Lubbock High, Amarillo High, and Amarillo Caprock met at a gas station last night in Plainview, Texas. Coins were flipped, and Amarillo High won it!!!

Pritzker: "People of Illinois, we need your help. Get our your cell phones, record and narrate what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors. We need to let the world know that this is happening and that we won't stand for it."

I am deeply disturbed by the shooting in Utah. Doug and I send our prayers to Charlie Kirk and his family. Let me be clear: Political violence has no place in America. I condemn this act, and we all must work together to ensure this does not lead to more violence.

Whoa.

Release the files. Redact information about the victims--but only the victims. Others mentioned in the files who were innocent guests of Epstein's will have no trouble explaining that's the case--as they've already done to the press. Unless they weren't innocent. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/05/u...

I was reading something about Nazi Germany the other day. For everyday citizens, life just continued as normal. But instead of in a democracy, when the rule of law applies to everyone and no one is above the law, in authoritarian regimes, there are 3 levels of justice: (1/2)

It will never be comprehensible or forgivable that the man who incited a deadly insurrection and attack on our Capitol was able to run again and retake the levers of power.

I’ve been told a few times by engineers in the space launch industry that the problems with this rocket are much more fundamental than most of the red coverage suggests. How many of them are supposed to blow up?

Our task: To stop Trump from making the United States of America his ultimate bankruptcy, his ultimate failure.

German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier: "We must not freeze in fear, or as the English saying goes,let's not be deers caught in the headlights. It is clear that the new American administration holds a world view that is very different from our own. One that shows no regard for established rules."

From Kate Conger’s book “Character Limit” on how Musk ruined Twitter.

Senator Raphael Warnock goes off on Republicans for being "silent while this new administration breaks the law." "I don't work for some oligarch threatening to run for my seat or run somebody for my seat. I work for the people of Georgia." 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Fact check: true.
