Hell yeah, new union let's go!

Eric Swalwell and Tony Gonzales both announced this afternoon that they're resigning from Congress.

Nothing is topping this.

The real lesson of the Hungarian people's victory over authoritarianism is that people power can defeat dictators. The massive opposition movement led to a massive electoral victory. We can do it too!

more seriously congrats to the hungarian people for kicking that asshole out

Absolutely love that my feed is just people celebrating the end of an autocrat's rule in one country and laughing at an overt loser autocrat in another.

Congratulations to Hungary for utterly trouncing Orbán, and congratulations to the rest of the world for getting noticeably better as a result.

JD Vance is, perhaps, the most juiceless man on the planet and that is a blessing.

Is it weird for me to say I wanna be Victor Glover when I grow up? 'Cause I think that might be true.

Gifs and insults aside, science in general - including space science - is *incredibly* international. This is something we can do because we do it together.

This is too perfect.

Listen to Houston go wild as the first astronaut emerges. 😆

I hope people noticed the Artemis the cat at Mission Control.

Space is cool. Exploration is cool. Knowledge is cool.

They're almost at splashdown. Legitimately amazing to watch.

Just losing 10k mph in, like, a second. Absolutely wild.

some people you can recruit, other people you have to simply defeat. politics makes more sense when you accept this

Been sitting with this all day. Mainly because once again, as a Native, this is not a shocking threat. For us, it's all too familiar.

"The Constitution gives Congress the power to declare war. And by 'declare war' I mean 'only Congress can end a war that I, Lindsey Graham, like.'" -Lindsey Graham, probably

He made an explicit threat of genocide. An explicit, overt genocidal threat. This man should not be president right now. Like, this can't just be another case of he says wild things, because the guy who can nuke wherever he wants doesn't get to threaten the end of a civilization.

I am legitimately happy that there is a ceasefire between the US and Iran. That's just good. But we are so clearly just an overt agent of chaotic evil right now and it's bad for every person on the planet.

We can’t unring the bell of an American president threatening to do genocide

POTUS just casually posting genocidal rhetoric. Like, what is wrong with him and everyone who surrounds him.

Mamdani is not just filling the potholes with the crew. He's creating a visual and personal reminder of the dignity inherent in all of these anonymous government jobs.

I feel so sorry that these astronauts got a once in a lifetime experience and it still involved having to listen to Donald Trump.

I am FLOORED that my book—out May 19—is the #1 new release in general elections and political processes. I want to disseminate its justice-focused message as widely as possible. Can you support the momentum by sharing this post or preordering at www.amazon.com/dp/0691276153 or your fave bookseller?

Extreme inequality degrades a society by creating an elite caste that feel a deep insecurity about their position in society and thus have a pathological instinct to defend their co-elites against attacks by the great unwashed.

It's impolite to call Musk a genocidal white nationalist because "civility" in American discourse functions not as a neutral procedural norm but as an asymmetric weapon to shield the powerful from accurate moral characterization while policing the tone of those who object.

I learned that we were leaving Earth orbit for the first time in decades today and that honestly should have been the main piece of news for the past, like, week at least, but instead we're bombing residential areas in Iran and fretting over whether SCOTUS is going destroy birthright citizenship.

The Chiles decision dropping on Trans Day of Visibility feels intentional. Releasing a decision saying bans on conversion talk therapy violate the First Amendment today during an administration that actively wants to invisibilize all trans people feels very screw you to trans folks.

Some members of the Knesset wore golden noose pins while passing this law. A law designed to kill only Palestinians. And public backlash was muted. I don't know what you do about this. I truly don't. Because I don't know what you do about purposely passing laws to kill one group of people.

that's.......the whole entire point of star trek

I like how an almost decade old quote has us discoursing. But, yeah, sci-fi as a genre is rooted in exploring politics, society, labor, all that. And Star Trek in particular has been built on that in the story, in the casting, in the world building. Like, Iunno Andy, you sure you like Trek?

At four figures, the benefit of the console (a machine devoted to playing games that you don't have to tinker with to play anything built for it) kinda disappears compared to getting a computer that can also handle some games. I say this as an almost exclusively console gamer.

Most seniors in Hong Kong do not own or drive a car, because they can get anywhere they want to with the city's robust public transport system at a taxpayer-subsidized cost of $0.26 per trip. My parents just take random day trips for fun. That is true freedom that American seniors will never have.

I hate the framing of “Ms Rachel has found a new cause—“ because no she hasn’t. Advocating for children kidnapped and locked up by ICE is not incompatible with her advocacy of children in Palestine. You just want to make her advocacy sound frivolous and fleeting. She’s being consistent.

Sun comes up, we are born, we live, we die. Sun comes down, we are born we live.

I join my union in demanding Rafael's release. He should not be deported. He's been detained for months. The deportation machine must be stopped.

Oh god, YGO:TAS is 20 years old. I ain't old! I AIN'T OLD!

Leqaa Kordia, who spent a year in ICE detention because she protested for Palestine, is free today.

Patriot, this is G. Cassius. I'll be straight with you: Rome's never faced a threat like this. But the honorable Brutus will stand firm. He'll stop Caesar. I know that virtue be in him, but he's got a midnight fundraising deadline. Can you show your virtue and send a donation to fight for Rome!?

Murdering random Jews in response to Israeli state violence is violent antisemitism. It shouldn't be necessary to state that. And yet

Jews are targeted in shuls & online. Brown & Black people are abducted and sent to concentration camps. Muslims are openly targeted by politicians. Activists & journalists are targeted by the FBI. Trans & queer people are being outlawed. We are in this together. This is why solidarity matters.

The main rival took his father's weapons manufacturing company, turned it into a children's card game company, and built both a beloved theme park and an academy. His father, a war profiteer who abused his kids, is never spoken of in a positive light and is very dead. YuGiOh was not a fan of war.

The decision to end the war is apparently up to a guy who notoriously prolongs wars because when they end he gets in big trouble and a guy who thinks wars make him look big and stronk but has no idea how they work or who they affect. Yeah okay.

If I can’t unionize Claude then it’s not conscious, next question

Everyone should not have to have a direct line to elected officials in order to ensure that we are not kidnapped by the government.

The presidential election is over two years away and people are already trying to force others to settle, and, like, come on.

Never Newsom.
