“It is increasingly indefensible for news coverage of climate change not to make it clear that this crisis is driven by very specific human activities – primarily burning fossil fuels. And in second place is food, agriculture, forestry.” www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Time for a thread!🧵 How different is the molecular organization of thylakoids in “higher” plants🌱? To find out, we teamed up with @profmattjohnson.bsky.social to dive into spinach chloroplasts with #CryoET ❄️🔬.

🧑‍🔬 Skull shakes up human origins A million-year-old skull from China may belong to Homo longi (dragon man), not Homo erectus. If so, modern humans could have emerged far earlier, and perhaps outside Africa. 🔗 www.theguardian.com/science/2025... #SciComm #Anthropology 🧪

Trump just ordered the military into Portland, and he’s giving them the green light to use lethal force on American citizens. Authoritarianism is an abstract concept but Trump is making its impacts real and tangible. Let’s be real about it: This is the beginning of dictatorship in America.

it is just a straightforward statement of fact to say that the trump administration sees any black student at an elite institution as one too many

Funny, not funny. How are we collectively so stupid? 🤨🤦🏽‍♂️

#ExpandtheCourt This is a rogue institution populated by right-wing hacks who have been groomed by conservative billionaire money. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

A pattern is developing where everyone who fights back against a Trump attack inevitably wins with their reputation much better than before, and everyone who caves to him looks like shit and has Trump coming back for more a month later.

ICE GOONS 'RELIEVED OF CURRENT DUTIES' AFTER VIOLENT CONFRONTATION CAUGHT ON CAMERA KEEP FILMING EVERYTHING!

NIGHTS OF BLUE SKIES DAY 26 SEPTEMBER 2025 THESE HORRENDOUS TIMES #TrumpsGovernmentShutdown Trump owns this Trump won't negotiate 15 million Americans will lose health insurance because of Republicans Families, seniors, and kids left without care Lives are on the line Trump owns it

Jeffries: "As a negotiating tactic, our response to Russ Vought is simple: Get lost."

BREAKING NYT:   Trump just fired a U.S. attorney who insisted on following a court order.   Michele Beckwith, the top federal prosecutor in Sacramento, was fired hours after she reminded a Border Patrol chief to abide by court-ordered restrictions on immigration raids.

Sickening behavior by this agent. The fact that Mayor Adams has rolled out the red carpet for ICE is a stain on our city.

Curtis Sliwa and I don't agree on much. But we do agree on this: City Hall is not for sale. You can't say the same for Cuomo or Adams.

Maybe the Fox bobbleheads should shut it and check the numbers. Kimmel pulled 15 million viewers last night. Those are not “low ratings,” that’s a beatdown.

The Smithsonian’s National Museum of African American History and Culture is nearly a decade old, and celebrating an anniversary this month. Thank you to the @nmaahc for showing us all why *real* history matters.

The richest man on earth owns X. The second richest man on earth is about to be a major owner of TikTok. The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post. See the problem here?

📌 HE'S BAAAAACK ♥️♥️♥️ Brava Jimmy Kimmel ‼️🔥 Brava 👏👏👏 🤭🤣🤭🔥 🐥

As I was saying…

✊💙🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Fascists hate comedy because satire exposes their absurdity. Authoritarians demand fear & obedience - laughter punctures both.

“Our leader celebrates Americans losing their livelihoods because he can’t take a joke.”

We all need to Boycott ABC, especially those stations owned by Sinclair and Nexstar and continue Disney+ boycott until they make Sinclair and Nexstar get in step!! STOP VIOLATING FREE SPEECH!! Local TV Giants Boycott Jimmy Kimmel’s Return to Late Night www.nytimes.com/2025/09/23/b...

Newsom: "I fear that we will not have an election in 2028 -- I really mean that in the core of my soul -- unless we wake up to the code red, what's happening in this country, and we wake up soberly to how serious this moment is."

KIMMEL: “He’s gunning for our journalists too — they want to pick and choose what the news is… it’s so important to have a free press, and it’s nuts we aren’t paying more attention to it.”

Kimmel: "This show is not important. What is important is that we get to live in a country that allows us to have a show like this."

Just to piss off Nexstar, Sinclair, and Trump. Linking to the Kimmel YouTube video which has nearly 3 million views. www.youtube.com/watch?v=c1tj...

If you're a cis person who wants to be kind to your trans and nonbinary friends right now, please do not forward us links to stories about trans people being abused, having their rights taken away, or living in fear. We already know. A friendly "hey I hope you're OK" is much more helpful. 💖

Holy 😳!!! We did it! 💪🏽 Power to the people! But I'm not renewing my cancelled subscription... 😁😝

I hope the majority realizes you can't win over the right wing with civility or the old ways. Doesn't work. Its a dangerous, violent, hypocritical cult without shame. They want power by any illegal means necessary. Choose your fighters accordingly. The current Dem leadership ain't it.

People on the right and left are sick of big corporations - like media companies - having become such a dominant force in our economy and our culture. Whichever party offers a vision to break up concentrated economic power has the potential to capture a new alignment of voters.

Pete Buttigieg's message to CEOs and companies that Trump targets.

Sen. Murphy: "Tom Homan, Trump's border czar, literally accepted a bag of cash—$50,000—and the investigation was dropped when Trump became president. There are two standards of justice now in this country. If you are a friend of the president...you can get away with anything."
