Read this interview with @peterthorne.bsky.social to understand how dire the situation is with respect to US science funding. The US has played an outsized role in Earth observations and global coordination, and even if other nations decide to step in, it would take at least a decade to recover.

Fifteen-year-old Miguel Vazquez was one of the people who took off running when federal agents arrived. “I thought, ‘Wait, why am I running? I’m a citizen,’” Vazquez said. newrepublic.com/post/203321/...

I will never forget having to edit Jamal’s final, posthumous piece for the Washington Post, after he was murdered. He was calling for free expression in the Arab world. You can read it here : www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/glo...

I cannot type the words I have, but I'm sure you feel what I feel...

One thing I never understood about the call to release the Epstein files--what's to stop the Trump regime from altering/withholding certain files??

This practice was endorsed by a Supreme Court Justice. #KavanaughStop

Oh so we're at the Justifying Child Rape part of the collapse???

In a message obtained by Congress, the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein wrote that Trump spent hours at his house with one of Epstein’s victims

DoorDash?

Found the tweet that Joyce Carol Oates bodied Elon Musk with and it's so beautiful in its eloquent, simple take down. So much so he's crashing out trying to prove he reads books now. Put this in the Louvre.

NOAA cut funding to the Alaska Earthquake Center, directed by my friend Mike West. As a result, seismic monitoring by nine stations in Alaska tracking tsunami-causing earthquakes will go offline by the end of the month. This endangers people in Alaska, Hawaiʻi, and other parts of the Pacific.

Working when other people aren't is the BEST. I might never take a meeting ever again, omg.

Hey Virginia, If you're mad at Tim Kaine's shutdown surrender, don't just post. CALL! Let them know #NoHealthcareNoVote!

Thinking of Tim Kaine's staff this morning. 😬 Thoughts and prayers...

I received this email about Democrats caving to end the shutdown from one of the SNAP recipients I spoke to:

Shut us down for good reason. Open back up without any of those reasons having been fixed. You want us to have confidence in you? You want us to think YOU can lead US? Don’t get me wrong, it’s good to have a chance to be back.. but our pain produced nothing in return.

This this this this

With friends like these, who needs enemies? #ACA

I'm losing my mind rn

Wait, so the shutdown deal hinges on a Republican promise just to have a vote on healthcare? Did I get that right???

I insist that you read it. GIFT LINK www.nytimes.com/2025/11/08/w...

Read about WHY Ketanji Brown Jackson stayed the SNAP order. Her move is probably the best solution for getting SNAP benefits approved quickly. open.substack.com/pub/stevevla...

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default. Here's how to turn it off. First go to the hamburger menu in the upper left corner

This thread includes MANY references to illegal, torturous treatment of ICE detainees

No words. Share this 🧵

The arc of history is a foot-long, but it bends towards justice.

Mamdani makes me wanna move back to NYC

No it’s important to listen to this. Because then you understand that many of them will do ANYTHING to keep power. Remember Musk got involved in the 2024 election after saying to Tucker “if she wins” I am definitely going to prison. So we need to move knowing that nothing is off the table for them.

FULL STORY: Finding that federal agents repeatedly used force that “shocks the conscience” and lied about their actions, a federal judge issued a sweeping injunction designed to permanently rein in agents’ use of tear gas and pepper balls. @wttw.bsky.social news.wttw.com/2025/11/06/f...

My Mom just ran the numbers... her monthly health insurance cost next year will either be $300 or $900. NINE HUNDRED DOLLARS FOR HEALTH INSURANCE. Social security isn't going up. Pensions aren't going up. But they want retirees to pay 3x as much just to live.

Me a month ago: "Do we *really* need trip insurance? Let's not waste the money this time, we never use it" Me today: 🤡

If you see this QTP with a female anime character you love!

This makes me so freaking happy

I don’t know how many times I’ve watched this video. I don’t know how we’ve gotten to the point where men in full balaclavas can abduct daycare teachers while they’re watching children. But I do know that this isn’t sustainable. Abolish ICE. There is no way to reform this.

Not only is Tom Hanks protecting his own health, by masking up he’s protecting everyone else on public transit. Many people taking the subway don’t have paid time off. They don’t have the good healthcare someone like Hanks can afford. Masking is community care.

Be happy! Yes, be happy! But celebrate winning the battle, not the war. Some of y'all acting like electoral victories end fascism. They don't.

TRASHY AF

I'm happy that Mamdani won. But I won't let that get in the way of my celebrating Cuomo losing.

Trying to explain the word "gubernatorial" to my newly American husband...but we just keep laughing. How is that a real word?! (What a night, I'm giddy!)

So proud to have cast a vote today for the first Muslim elected to statewide office in Virginia!!!!!!! A thoughtful, genuine, effective, PROGRESSIVE leader. 😁 Wooohoooooo @senatorhashmi.bsky.social!!!!

Even Vader was redeemed in the end. Cheney...not so much.

I'm so freaking mad. This is a huge loss for us all.

“Permanent Standard Time (not springing ahead in March) could prevent 300,000 cases of stroke per year and lower nationwide prevalence of obesity by 2.6 million.” #DitchDST

And a citizen, too.

The USDA sent an email to grocery stores telling them they are prohibited from offering special discounts to customers affected by the SNAP funding lapse. I'm aware of at least 2 stores that had offered struggling customers a discount, then withdrew it after receiving this email

I should also point out that Cuomo confused one black MSNBC host for another here as he talked about diversity being a weakness.
