Not only do they get enormous tax dodges, they also use our taxpayers to subsidize their sub-livable wages

I'm old enough to remember Republicans gone apeshit over tax on sugary drinks because "tyranny" or something.

“Abolishing tenure cripples scientific & creative research... This sends a strong message that top-tier academics seeking employment at Oklahoma universities should look elsewhere immediately. Why pursue a job here under such a repressive climate?” — Michael Givel, OU AAUP President

this is what awaits us if we fail to crush Platner in the primary, "oh the party of Nazi Tattoos has something to say?" every time forever

kind of crazy that if you have enough money and don't like what you see in the media, you can just buy up every film studio, news station, and social media app and change it

NEWS: Americans were told to evacuate the Middle East — but the State Dept is not helping them do it. We called the State hotline. First thing you hear is an automated message: "Do not rely on the U.S. government for assisted departure or evacuation."

EXCLUSIVE: At more than 30 installations, U.S. commanders told troops the war on Iran is a Christian war. The Military Religious Freedom Foundation has been “inundated” with more than 110 complaints. One NCO said they were told the U.S. war is to bring about Armageddon and the return of Jesus…

The savings we're getting here by annihilating decades of American science will pay for whole minutes of the operation to create decades of death, immiseration, and chaos in Iran.

migrating from the nazi newsletter site is a lot easier than it used to be and i don't know why more people don't do it. big agree with you though. for realtalk.

Fly peeps: I can't attend #Dros26. Could someone grab a couple of this year's gorgeous Genesee Scientific Drosophila art postcards for me?

$300 Million in jet planes lost to a fuckup. That’s 83 five year NIH R01 grants burned in minutes due to error, aka poor execution of this unnecessary war which serves only to make the world more dangerous.

we reached the “no WMDs” phase in two days.

Minnesota would like a word.

He’s young, he wears work shirts, and has a beard. No need to ask why someone who comes out and of nowhere, has no political background, even on a volunteering or donation level. He started out claiming he was working class, even though his father was a former prosecutor and founded a law firm. +

At a certain point you just cannot keep extending someone the benefit of the doubt. www.yahoo.com/news/article...

This is disgusting. Rationalizing the bombing of a school that reportedly killed 108 girls. But since she asked, "Currently, 161 public schools operate on military installations across the United States." www.militaryonesource.mil/education-em...

I was literally pulling up the FBI indictments of the Iranian hackers two days ago for a forthcoming article ab this 🫠 Trump dismantled the entire infrastructure that disrupted this op! Kate and Stamos and I were sued by America First Legal — case is entering its 3rd year. These fucking hacks.

Amazingly, she restrains herself from saying “Are you sorry now that you didn’t vote for me, you incredibly stupid f*cks?”

I really can't emphasize enough that you are a complete freak if you care about Boy Scout genitals

The global wellness industry, at $6.2 trillion a year, is 4 times larger than the global pharmaceutical industry.

Here’s a thought for James Comer. There IS a First Lady who has had a relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. And it’s not Hillary Clinton. It might be worthwhile for Comer to subpoena the First Lady who actually knows Epstein. You know, just to see what she knows.

NEW! From the same clueless Republicans who brought you doubling premiums: $31,000 deductibles. Only an out of touch billionaire would think that counts as affordable.

Hillary Clinton: “If this committee is serious about learning the truth, it would ask Trump directly under oath about the tens of thousands of times he shows up in the Epstein Files.” #ProudBlue #Pinks #SheShed #VoteOutRepublicans

Here is Hillary Clinton’s opening statement to House Oversight on Epstein. Clinton says she does not recall ever encountering Epstein and says she knew nothing about his crimes. She also says that Trump should testify under oath and criticizes the committee for not holding any public hearings.

The Constitution clearly gives Congress the power to spend taxpayer funds, and no law allows the president to halt if he feels some US states aren’t being “good stewards” of the money. In case there’s any confusion on this, the Impoundment Control Act forbids it. Taxation without representation.

Oh, wow. So this hospital took her money, scheduled her procedure, and then once she was on the table, waiting to begin - they canceled her surgery! so now she has to find another doctor, go through the whole thing again, AND she has to extract a mf’ing refund from these religious fascists

This has nothing to do with fraud. The agents Trump allegedly sent to investigate fraud are shooting protesters and arresting children. His DOJ is gutting the U.S. Attorney’s Office and crippling their ability to prosecute fraud. And every week Trump pardons another fraudster.

This stunt where ICE releases people far from home with no proper clothing and no way home should be treated as attempted homicide. In this case, actual homicide. These cases are not accidental or based on misunderstandings. They are deliberate attempts to inflict bodily harm.

we have to be meaner to these people it's all we got. billionaires sitting there crying bc ppl hate them when they could just end world hunger

Abortion was phase I, trans healthcare was phase II, birth control is phase III

As the guy who wrote the book on zoning abolition, I'd like to go on record as saying: if you can use zoning to stop the concentration camps, fucking go for it.

The SAVE America Act would make it harder for working people who don’t have a passport to vote. This bill would not protect election integrity—it would attack our right to vote. The Senate must protect our rights and reject the SAVE America Act.

Fuck this regime and Aileen Cannon in particular. I don’t have words for how angry this makes me as a federal employee and guardian of classified material. apnews.com/article/trum...

Btw AOC saying “um” is the on same level of a staffer you fucked killing herself by self-immolation according to Punchbowl

Reminder: the entire NSF budget is 9B and NIH like 47B. And they have 500B that they don’t know how to spend.

Is the president mocking the U.S. women’s hockey team on a celebratory call with the men’s team going to attract even an iota of the sustained handwringing that the idea of trans athletes disadvantaging women’s sports has gotten

The FCC just opened public comments on SpaceX's plan to launch a million satellites to do AI compute in space. Under the current proposal, an environmental review won't be required. Please consider submitting a public comment to oppose this damaging plan. darksky.org/news/two-sat...

For all #Drosophila #neuroskyence researchers that have explained to someone, yes #insects have #brains: Here is @scottishwaddell.bsky.social & Annie Park's excellent argument for four 'cognitive primitives' underlying fundamental brain function conserved from humans to flies. tiny.cc/4cog

Trump idiots himself yet again offering to send a hospital boat to attend to Greenland's "many sick people" who are alive & thriving on their universal free healthcare, a deliberate choice, says Denmark's Mette Frederiksen, which is denied to US Citizens.

We didn’t learn anything from covid. I was in Singapore when the pandemic started, and they immediately applied lessons from the early oughts SARS epidemic. It was so disheartening to then turn around and listen to Trump suggesting drinking bleach. And we said yeah more of that.

So, ok, you have the bravery to stand up to a line of tanks, to risk your physical body. But do you have the bravery to stand up to social media pressure? To risk your reputation as a savvy insider? To stand up for unpopular groups? To *care* when caring is cringe?

“Pope Leo XIV has urged priests to not to use artificial intelligence to write their homilies or to seek ‘likes’ on social media platforms like TikTok.” “‘To give a true homily is to share faith,’ and artificial intelligence ‘will never be able to share faith,’ the pope added.”

i hope you and your social media team at least consider delay-posting to vichy-twitter (posting there only an hour after you post on other platforms - if they want to see potentially news-making statements immediately they then need to leave X)

What's more shocking than ICE's plan to cram as many 8,500 humans into massive, soul-crushing warehouses? Seeing the actual DHS floor plan that echoes slavery ships and history's worst gulags with no rec space but a gun range for guards My new column on the camps www.inquirer.com/opinion/ice-...

Across the US, people fed up with Flock cameras surveilling their communities, and with local governments that are often unwilling to listen to concerns over privacy violations and ICE data sharing practices, are taking matters into their own hands—and tearing them down.

As teachers, we did our best during the deadliest pandemic in US history (www.statnews.com/2021/09/20/c...). November 2020 was an especially deadly month, with morgues & hospitals overflowing—requiring mobile morgues & field hospitals to be set up (apnews.com/article/pand...). We did what we could.
