Start with removing immunity from prosecution everywhere. All crimes should be prosecuted, no matter if you are the President, elected official or police officer. Other countries do it, the US can too. No one should be above the law. #Accountability #Governance

It’s crazy to think about the crimes we’re going to learn about after this regime ends. We’re already hearing about Watergate level crimes every week. Imagine what will come out after it’s over. We’re going to need a full accounting of all that’s been done in violation of the constitution.

Jeff Bezos is thrilled about a future where millions of people live in space. Meanwhile, millions of Americans are struggling right here on Earth.

“.. The US now doles out nearly $200 billion in direct subsidies for favored businesses each year, and the president has imposed an expansive tariff regime, which will likely invite corruption, waste tax dollars, and sap ambition.” @opinion.bloomberg.com www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

That says it all!

If a president wanted to become effectively a dictator, he’d likely: 1. Purge govt of non loyalists 2. Weaponize law against opponents 3. Use military to police opposition strongholds 4. Threaten media, schools, businesses w penalties to get them to heel 5. Change election rules in his favor.

Nationalist Christians again

I just received the first copy of Copaganda! It will be sold anywhere books are sold. I try to explain the role of the media, the police, and academia in how we got to this authoritarian moment.

LAPD when they think no one’s looking

“If ICE is going to wear a mask in their uniform, then I can.”

Since a Minneapolis police officer murdered George Floyd in 2020, the number of people killed by the police each year has continued to rise — and Black Americans are still killed in disproportionate numbers. Our data reporter explains his findings. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/24/u...

rightwingers have mastered whipping up their audiences into endless psychotic delusions and anger using social media, it’s really easy to turn an amped up angry audience into dedicated voters and harassers

Welcome to the RFK Jr public health era.

Check out how the anchors of CBS Evening News ended their broadcast tonight:

#Canada must seize 'window of opportunity' to attract U.S. scientists, health-care workers: medical association Changes to immigration, licensing needed to bring 'wealth of expertise' to Canada, says Dr. Joss Reimer www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

With everything happening in the US right now, how safe are scientific conferences for foreign participants in the US? I think this is something we have to discuss as a scientific community. I am hesitating to register for US meetings due to the unpredictable situation. Others who feel the same?

Basel, Switzerland

Cold day for a walk this morning! 🥶

Money buys influence: politicians, media. Influence creates power: laws, narratives, control. Power gives money: monopolies, tax loopholes, insider deals. Shape what people believe. Addictions (sugar, social media, gambling) keep them distracted. Education shifts from critical thinking to obedience.

Never before has the entire world united behind Canada, till tonight... Let's not let them down, eh! 🇨🇦 #LetsGo 🏒 (Except Russia | 🇷🇺❤️🇺🇲)

May today bring you the hold of a manatee

I follow French politics a lot, as many of you know. Any effort for mass layoffs of public sector employees there would create such huge strikes and marches, the level of disruption and paralysis would be biblical.

white nationalist men are too emotional to be in charge

The irony of the richest man in the world almost single-handedly destroying an agency designed to help the world’s poor, so that the U.S. federal budget has more room for another giant tax cut for the richest man in the world and his pals, should not be lost on anyone. [Cartoon by Mike Luckovich]

$1,131,794,901 That's how much Big Oil has spent over the last 30 years paying off Congress to look the other way on climate action while the planet burns. Well, the planet is burning. Don't let them look away.

A lot of truth to this.

In Iceland, on Christmas Eve, people give each other books so they can spend the evening drinking cocoa & reading. It’s called, Jolabokaflod, the Christmas book flood. I’ve never been more in love with Iceland than I am right now ♥️♥️

Foxes are incredible creatures—playful, intelligent, and vital to our ecosystems. They deserve to thrive in the wild, free from fear and cruelty. 🦊 Killing them for sport is barbaric and senseless. Let’s protect their joy and beauty.
