A negotiation expert running for Congress (full disclosure: I’m married to him) explains exactly how bad the deal was that some Dems struck last night. www.facebook.com/share/v/1FPD...

My family has been without half our income for 40 days. It has been.. very hard. We are willing to feel that pain so people can have health care next year, or to undo these illegal recissions. We are not willing to have been put through this for NOTHING.

The Trump Administration is once again putting profits over people. He's ignoring communities that worked for decades to protect it. Chaco is not for sale, it's a living landscape, sacred to many and irreplacabe. www.santafenewmexican.com/news/local_n...

Please read this on Jim Watson, by his most thorough biographer

My latest is a love letter to Chicago. "I see you stumbling through the stubborn, awkward rhythm of showing up, again and again. I see you fighting alongside people who sometimes frustrate and confuse you, and defending neighbors you may have never met, because you know they’re all your people."

/2 1. Real human beings will suffer from even a brief stay. 2. The government's position is transparently dishonest and in bad faith. 3. The Supreme Court has lost any benefit of the doubt. They have lost the mandate of the heaven that is the rule of law.

apropos james watson’s death i had an idle thought today about how stupid race/iq stuff sounds. “buh if your skin is darker you are biologically less smart” is a thing only a dumbass can believe

I had student meetings yesterday for my class. It was a writing class so most meetings started with my comments on their papers, but I told them they could ask about anything. Some asked for advice for gap years, how to choose the next career step, even audio books :) my favorite question was...🧵

Pretty good writing day today :)

A List of Things Said to Have Been Ruined by Women 🧵

Rep. Yassamin Ansari has set up a table and this sign outside Speaker Johnson’s office.

We're all going to write pieces about what you can learn from tonight but it's actually pretty simple: The frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

This person took this when they called the race

Every single county in Virginia shifted Blue.

everybody gets twenty-four hours to lib out with impunity, tonight is the cringe purge

It’s a good night.

Traditional American politics is premised on the notion that sometimes you lose and sometimes you win and you have to deal with that. But Trumpism is premised on the notion that any result where you don’t win is illegitimate, unlawful, fraud, criminal. You can’t negotiate with people like that.

LFG Kansas! @colinmcroberts.bsky.social

@juliekedzie.bsky.social and I worked for an hour on guard retention, then we voted! So productive! #bjj #vote

ICE is thug trash.

It is morally wrong to want a computer to be sentient. If you owned a sentient thing, you would be a slaver. If you want sentient computers to exist, you just want to create a new kind of slavery. The ethics are as simple as that. Sorry if this offends

it gets tiring to keep explaining what it means to be poor to people. it is not that poor people don’t know that cooking is cheaper: cooking costs time. it costs pots and pans. it costs a working stove and your utilities on. it costs you’ve been on your feet all day and your babies are tired.

LOOK AT THAT THING GO!

My article in tomorrow's @theobserveruk.bsky.social now online. But go and buy a copy!

In the 1600s, thousands of people were buried in crypts under a Milan hospital & preserved by unusual conditions. “What is striking is how much you can extrapolate from an ancient body,” says one researcher, “and how much you can understand from that about the period they lived in." @science.org

Please be sure to check your kid's candy VERY carefully. I just found an unbalanced centrifuge in a Snickers bar. 🍬☠️💥

this is the Pope his entire thing is going around waving to crowds and looking happy he is also such a White Sox fan that this is the maddest - and most human - I have ever a pope look

“The alarm about this whipped up by the Pharma-friendly press is completely unnecessary and is scaring families,“ said Secretary Kennedy. “In fact this is exactly how herd immunity works.”

We! Want! People! To! Notice! When! We! Speak! For! Fucking! Once!

I am ready to Kill Bill.

The ex-prosecutor also said this: “I have a lot of close contacts in law enforcement, and almost to a person, none of them support these actions. As a lawyer, someone who adamantly believes in the rule of law, watching it in open sight in front of my house just be completely eroded…it’s upsetting.”

"Email has become a crucible. I can no longer say 'Attached is the draft.' I must instead write, 'Enclosed—though, of course, enclosure itself is a problematic modality—please locate a text-in-process, emergent rather than concluded.'”

@joann-trejo.bsky.social, @marymunson4.bsky.social and I have a commentary in @natcellbio.nature.com on recent attacks on DEI in biomedical research: "If scientific research, especially biomedical research, is meant to serve everyone, then it requires that everyone has an opportunity to participate"

this is the only way through

After the Louvre jewelry heist on Sunday, a photo distributed by The Associated Press showing three policemen outside the museum — and a sharply-dressed man — confused many people on social media. Who is the dapper man? Is he even real? nyti.ms/42TI9RE
