Nothing to see here, just Justice Jackson plaintively pleading sense, logic & precedent into the chasm between the ears of the 6 maga minions' & the cankerous holes in their shriveled hearts.

Here we see a guy in a frog costume terrorizing the bottom 1% of your high school graduating class

Get your commemorative Senile Caesar coins now - before he bankrupts the Treasury.

Further adventures in toilet paper tigers 🙄 'they are weaker than they look...[drumpf and]...the Republican house [are] at record levels of unpopularity...that is causing them to double down...but it is backfiring...whether it’s a shutdown, whether it’s all of this, they want us to blink first.'

Enjoy some truth about the #TrumpShutdown @markwarner.bsky.social

‘Generals gather in their masses, just to listen to couple of asses/MAGA minds that plot destruction/hope the top brass remembers their function’

A lot of people think that every international student admitted means one fewer spot for domestic students, when the opposite is more likely true - the tuition revenue international students bring allows public universities to provide substantial discounts to domestic students, improving access.

Science! Just like magic, only with empirical methodology that allows for replicable results. 💡

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?

Unlawful detainment of a child is felony, vs expired or nonexistent immigration docs, which is a misdemeanor. The gestapo is getting more corrupt & violent by the day.

Of course they don't care, they don't have to care, they're getting away with essentially everything, especially this.

A real leader.

One of several personal favorites from TR.

Where the separate divisions of ANTIFA landed on the beaches of Normandy on June 6, 1944:

Another masterclass in constituent advocacy & effective issue framing courtesy of our guru guv (& heir apparent to Paul Wellstone's legacy).

They had kids, too.

Nor is the history of fanatics half so striking in respect to the measureless self-deception of the fanatic himself

The terraforming for our subterranean lizard alien overlords continues. 🦖👽 Not really, it's just malevolent greed & apathy.

The maga cultural revolution continues. When will they hand out their little red book of the dear leader's ramblings? www.theguardian.com/us-news/live...

Excerpt from an interview with Christopher Wray back in Feb 2020. "...it [racist & neo-nazi domestic terrorism] hasn't been typically treated as a national security issue. And in fact, it's been played down by the Trump administration, both in language and in funding priorities."

How are any students, faculty, admin or maintenance peeps are expected to feel safe at any education facility today or for the indefinite future? Annunciation & Evergreen in the last two weeks & another one likely prevented just south of Seattle. The rage-baiting right is making everyone less safe.

Meanwhile on the bright side. 💜☀️

More horrors from the ice concentration camps.

Another unforced error courtesy of maga's arrogance. This is the result of the federalist society & heritage foundation hiring hacks for the scotus. The gop senate confirmation is just a formality. They just gave us the easiest talking point for the foreseeable future. We need to put this on repeat.

Harvard can't use someone's race to decide if they are going to be a student, but ICE can use a student's race to decide if they are going to detain/incarcerate them. According to the Supreme Court, race can only be a factor if you want hurt, not help, someone.

Godspeed to this hero & the rest of the survivors of another senseless, horrific & utterly avoidable tragedy. She was protecting another student when she was hit in the head with bullet fragments. More courage than the entire cabal of complicit cowardly pos calling themselves the gop.

Very interested in a foreign policy expert's perspective on a comparison between the Qatari deal, which is described as the same as an earlier US proposal, but Israel rejected, and this new US proposal that Israel accepted but Hamas will likely reject.

Across the political spectrum support for immigration is increasing & support for restrictions & deportations is plummeting. Pee wee german's gestapo act is backfiring spectacularly.

On fascism and racism, Langston Hughes said, "Fascism preaches the creed of Nordic supremacy." He also noted, "Fascism is a new name for that kind of terror the Negro has always faced in America... This kind of terrorism is extending more and more to groups of peoples whose skins are not black."

Excellent progress in stroke recovery & neuroplasticity. After a stroke, the immune response floods the brain with inflammatory cells, a cytokine storm response similar to the body's covid immune response. Mice w/o a cytokine neuron receptor called CCR5 express enhanced learning abilities. 🧵

One of the easily foreseeable outcomes of the 'war on terror' is the govt's use of fear to control us, or at least our actions. Conditioning reactions to specific terms, such as terrorist or anything non-pharma drug-related, become a justification for whatever the govt does re: those individuals*.🧵

I know, I know, but: The president of the US saying, literally, "we're going in" in reference to sending the military to an American city for no reason beyond terrorizing the local population should be the most immediately impeachable shit imaginable

Scientists estimate that if the Amazon loses between 20-25% of forest cover it may reach an irreversible tipping point leading to collapse... bsky.app/profile/gree...

'The study included 450 healthy adults, about half of whom (227) spritzed their noses three times a day with the generic antihistamine nasal spray, azelastine, which can be purchased over the counter in the US.'

'A recent MIT study found that...95% of...generative AI pilots are getting zero return on investment. “The core barrier to scaling is not infrastructure, regulation, or talent,” the report states. “It is learning. Most GenAI systems do not retain feedback, adapt to context, or improve over time.' 🪄🫘

The regime isn't winning many servicemembers over with the landscaping detail, who find DC, with a 30-year low crime rate, not terrible. "I think it’s nice, as a D.C. resident,” one Guard member told the Washington Post. “But there are different things we could be doing.”

Sometimes when you give children an inch they’ll take a mile. When you give a felon a mile they’ll take the whole country.

Well, now we know that Bobby Brainworm's FDA has some minimal standards. Also, Captain Obvious recommends not buying seafood from the maga waltons.

“If the tech industry gets its way, our cities may soon be radically reshaped by autonomous cars. But we are much better off as a society if we create cities safe enough for autonomous kids.” What a great quote. Here’s to more autonomous kids! Let’s get going Seattle!

Subheader of this article should have read 'foppish dickbag ends brilliant musician's life'. 'Brent Hinds was killed Wednesday night in a crash while on a Harley Davidson when the driver of a BMW SUV failed to yield making a turn at the intersection.'

Conway once again nailing the forensics beforehand. Its not a prediction, just what the regime would need to do to set up a coup.

The short version is that the gop has always sucked at contracting infrastructure (haliburton's shoddy showers shocking soldiers in their barracks in iraq). They also suck at litigation, thus this ruling. And don't forget the racist arseholery- “The deportations will continue until morale improves.”

More comedy gold, he always brings it.

Yes, it's going to miss the US coast. It's still one of the very few (so far) storms to go from a trop depr to a Cat 5 in ~24 hours, ~25 in Erin's case. Rapid intensification is =<35 mph wind increase in 24 hrs. Erin increased 80 mph. 👀🥴👀 It's also the earliest Cat 5 outside of the Caribbean & Gulf.
