Trump & RFK Jr.'s coterie of bootlicking doctors are real pieces of shit, we argue in the British Medical Journal, essentially. Link: www.bmj.com/content/392/...

Why is everyone yelling “release the epstein files” when we should already be yelling “impeach and remove!”? Yelling about the Epstein files is an extra step and it can happen after he’s out of office.

Samuel Alito flew two flags used by insurrectionists. Clarence Thomas' wife plotted to overturn the 2020 election. Both justices refused to recuse themselves from SCOTUS cases related to the January 6th plot. It's a stain on our nation that this has effectively been forgotten.

This situation is precisely why we have impeachment

The fact that he not only got away with it but got re-elected is a stunning indictment of our government, media, educational system, and society.

It's true but to me "the voters" are farther down on the responsibility scale. At the top are the elites who failed to understand the danger, the necessity for accountability, and kinda just hoped this would all go away. In a healthy political system he'd never be allowed to run again

I just want people to remember that what this was was transparently obvious at the time and universally condemned. Hold on to that fact and don't let people change it under you.

man the Access Hollywood tape really told us everything we needed to know didn’t it

They made this announcement on an anonymous phone call.

Speaking as a professional biologist, there is no greater sign of incoming pigheaded movement bigotry than someone attempting to apply the term "biological sex" in the context of human gender fluidity. The term is meaningless, biologically speaking, and tautological.

If this happened to a right-wing activist - every single Republican elected officials (along with the right wing media machine ie Bari would have her on 60 mins by this Sunday) would make her a hero. Where are the Democrats?

„Never forget: whenever Elon Musk walks up to a podium to bullshit you about colonizing Mars or whatever, he is walking on the bodies of dead children. He yanked their food and medicine away while telling lies and cracking stupid jokes.“ @dereklowe.bsky.social as usual not pulling any punches

Only in the last paragraph it is mentioned she didn't get a flu shot this year. The headline should have been "A healthy UNVACCINATED 16-year-old girl dies from flu complications."

Impeach and remove

Family movie tonight: Wag the Dog

There are several steps before impeachment: I would start with refusing to appropriate Defense and State without testimony from Hegseth, Rubio and Bondi. I mean if I was John Thune I would have encouraged Donald Trump to wait after January 30th. But as we all know, January 6 is a trigger for him.

Wow, look at that. The most unsurprising thing this morning.

Chevron donated to Donald Trump’s presidential inauguration fund. Chevron’s CEO publicly praised trump’s energy agenda. Chevron donations: 94% Republican, 6% Democrat. Chevron is the ONLY foreign oil company allowed to operate in Venezuela. Follow the money.

Capitol switchboard (202) 225-3121 Call your reps. Demand impeachment. No illegal war in our names.

The president unilaterally decided to attack a sovereign nation and kidnap its leader, and now he says he's just going to run that county himself for a while too. Call your representatives now and demand they impeach him.

if i was running a political party and every time my opponents held power they started illegal wars for oil and crashed the economy i would simply say that repeatedly

Cancer research costs too much but we have the money to run Venezuela

Members of Congress: stop posting online and APPEAR, PHYSICALLY on the steps of the Capitol to decry this unconstitutional violation of domestic & international law. SHOW THE PEOPLE the level of danger we are facing as a country. @housedemocrats.bsky.social @senatedemocrats.bsky.social

"Maduro is a brutal authoritarian dictator," I wisely intone, as the corrupt demented paedophile US President violating Constitutional Law while operating a gestapo and concentration camps illegally arrests a foreign leader on charges which read like they were written on a paper placemat in crayon.

Venezuela opposition reports the so called "capture" of Maduro was a negotiated deal between Maduro and US for an agreed exit strategy. We reported in November that this would be the case. The US bombed Venezuelan service members as part of a death theatre. #VenezuelaInvasion

So this piece of crap squatting in the White House has decided to engage us in war to gain oil. This is not about drugs. This is about control. This is about him not being held accountable for his crimes. How much does it take until we act against him?

We can’t have another three years of this

Tonight, the President of the United States has launched an unconstitutional war of aggression, dooming another generation to spill their blood for oil, and lay waste to a sovereign nation. I demand that Congress exercise its power, halt this conflict, and impeach this war criminal president.

You have to go through Congress for anything resembling this type of war. Round up Massie and Paul types and have him removed. The people in this administration are on actual drugs and have insatiable bloodlust and bespoke mental illnesses. He has to go, and everybody with him.

First sentence I read upon touching down in the US - WTF

Also while I'm up and it's 4am, just gonna acknowledge that the rest of the govt has enabled all of this by refusing to hold DJT accountable for anything, or obey their own ethical directives re: his flagrantly illegal behavior.

When I explain to people what is involved with writing a successful grant, they simply don’t believe me. I explained it once to a famous person from Pixar, and he looked me square in the eye and said: You mean all the cancer and Alzheimer’s grants work that way? You’ve gotta be &$%#ing kidding me!

Non-scientists truly do not know - I've been told that "the government throws money at scientists" and they still think Elon did something to help us (had to correct someone about this just today). It's exasperating

All statements like this that Trump makes about ANYONE, he is PROJECTING. That is, he is unconsciously talking about himself.

Up until this year, the US invested $10bn in mRNA technology. HHS canceled $500m (22 projects) on mRNA research. The advent of the Covid vaccine was just the beginning of next gen vaccines. It will be expanded to HIV & cancer. Life goes on while leaving us behind. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Every Democrat needs to take notes. You have to run on immediately undoing all of this shit.

So here’s to making 2026 a better year. For science. For our country. For the American people. We have the momentum. The resistance is growing. Let’s make 2026 the year we turned the tide.

Having a ridiculously fun time at a NYE party in Panama - like crashing someone's wedding

2026 is midterms and it’s the year we get going on putting these assholes in the dumpster of history where they belong

Here's the entire 8+ hours of Jack Smith's testimony where he says he found “proof beyond a reasonable doubt” that Trump engaged in a “criminal scheme” to overturn the 2020 election & that Trump “repeatedly tried to obstruct justice” in the classified documents case. www.youtube.com/watch?v=lR-b...

So, the frog stopped the National Guard from coming to Portland, along with astute lawsuits by Oregon. Only part of what's happening, but hard to understate how fundamentally the Portland Frog changed perceptions and helped morale. Humor, imagination, courage, savvy.

THE DAY CARES ARE LOCKED BECAUSE YOU MADE A GENERATION-LONG EFFORT TO MAKE IT AS EASY AS POSSIBLE TO KILL THE CHILDREN INSIDE THEM YOU ABSOLUTE FUCKING GHOULS

Take-home lesson we ALL need to learn: Resistance works and capitulation doesn't!

“The administration is just trying to reduce govt spending…” NO, THEY ARE NOT. They are trying to wreck centers of independent thought that do not support their goals. I will suffer no fools in 2026. MAGA/MAHA does not care about you, our science, our health, our govt, or our constitution.

Ok, so can we all agree now that Trump et al. started the year off with the intention of destroying science? I’m tired of having to talk people out of diplomatic and graceful explanations of this crap. 😫
