Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged. Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

One little item in Trump’s so-called “peace plan” for Ukraine just jumped out at me: “Russia to rejoin the G8”. This is typical Trumpy arrogance. How does the US get to unilaterally decide to return Russia to the group? Does no one else have a vote? Canada would certainly oppose it.

Obeying Putin like the slave he is, Trump is trying to bully Ukraine into accepting Russia’s demands to surrender. He threatens to withdraw U.S. weapons and intelligence sharing from Ukrainian defenders. It won’t work. The U.S. will be humbled and humiliated by Russia yet again.

I genuinely think one thing that trips up folks on the left is that they can't imagine not sharing certain core values. Lemme explain. Here's an intuition pump: Say you're in negotiations with counterparty X. And there are two possible deals on the table ...

Leaving teaching to enlist and be a medic at the front was an incredibly difficult decision but I do not regret it. In fact, I'm still always teaching in one way or another and guest teach when I can. Be the difference. You never know the impact you have.

Republicans are trying to redraw congressional district lines to keep their grip on Congress in the midterms and beyond.  Voters should pick their politicians, not the other way around. Get involved with the @democraticredistricting.com as they fight back: bit.ly/3HJ1ayW

When I reported for duty at Naval Station Great Lakes, I never imagined that some day a US President would seek to use it as a base for surveillance and enforcement activity on American soil. Our military was not set up to cater to the whims of a would-be American dictator.

The first group of immigrants has arrived at a new “camp” deep in the Florida Everglades, where officials are openly describing it as “concentrating” certain people in one area. Have you seen the photos of the flooding? This entire site is a human rights violation.

The United States has recorded its highest annual measles cases in 33 years. The milestone marks a public health reversal in defeating a highly contagious, vaccine-preventable disease as the anti-vaccine movement gains strength.

A reminder: FEMA is no longer going door-to-door to assist disaster victims [From our Climate Desk partner @wired.com]

💥I feel like this is important to show you guys. When you hear about the hundreds of russian/iranian drones/UAV's attacking Ukraine; THIS IS THE SIZE OF THEM! And they are Loaded with explosives. Imagine this flying towards your home at 180 km/h.

Remember when the White House trotted out their mouthpieces while pretending that they were gonna release Epstein's client list? I wonder how it feels to have fooled the rubes in their party.

Pam Bondi in February: The Epstein client list is sitting on my desk right now to review. Pam Bondi today: There is no Epstein client list and no "further disclosure" of Epstein-related material "would be appropriate or warranted."

Alina Habba in Feb: “On Epstein, it’s incredibly disturbing. We have flight logs, info, names that will come out. There were so many names hidden who had not been held accountable. Now it’s time for accountability. I really believe with Kash and Pam there will be accountability.”

Washington State peeps!!Please join @avindman.bsky.social on Monday for an excellent discussion on The West's illusions about Russia and its betrayal of Ukraine.

They've got enough money to throw us into another war, but not enough money to fund the suicide prevention hotline. Very "pro-life." Very "pro-family." So "GREAT."

Solar bankruptcies mount as Congress slashes green energy funds https://on.ft.com/3SYD6tS

NEW: Farmers are dying by suicide at the third-highest rate by vocation in Utah. But after a federal program offering mental health support ran out of money, the state did not continue it. By @jessicamiller.bsky.social, with @sltrib.com

Julia Parsons, a U.S. Navy code breaker during World War II who was among the last survivors of a top-secret team of women that unscrambled messages to and from German U-boats, has died at 104.

Anyone else find it strange that a man with a 14-year heroin addiction is railing against Narcan—the lifesaving drug that helped drive a sharp drop in overdose deaths after a federal distribution program? No one said Narcan cures addiction. It prevents funerals. That’s the point. The facts 👇🏾

I mean, yeah.

There is no aborted fetus debris in the MMR vaccine, or in any vaccine at all. It is worth noting that the Catholic Church, one of the most staunch anti-abortion organizations in the world, has a formal policy that encourages all vaccinations.

Good Night World

If you’re changing the definition of human rights, it means you plan on violating people’s human rights.

Trump is setting Europe up for failure in a new Cold War #Ukraine

We are now the USSR, Nazi Germany, and East Germany.

I received a heartbreaking email today: A paper in a special issue I’m editing is being retracted because one of its authors is afraid of losing their job and their legal status in the U.S. if they publish a scientific study on evolution. Yes, on evolution, nature's engine of diversity.

Do not listen to bullies. U.S. military planes arrived in Greenland at a U.S. military base — bc the PM REFUSED to meet them. Delegation includes Congressman Mike Waltz, who plan to make the islanders “an offer they can’t refuse.” HOW is this not an act of war?! This is how they annexed Hawaii.

The latest crazy just proves what we all know. They are discussing everything on Signal to avoid any discovery or FOIA or archival laws. So illegal but here we are.

Elon is amplifying a bunch of revisionist history tweets suggesting that Republicans have only ever boycotted brands like peaceful angels, and it's so funny because this video exists:

Brit is apparently not willing to go along with the New Big Lie being pushed by Hegseth and Fox hosts.

It seems like Trump isn't actually aware of what is happening and Elon, Miller, etc are just running roughshod over the institutions.. America is done as a global leader. EU defence industries will thrive, EU science and research will thrive. The global order is changing ,leaving us behind.
