When you accidentally CC the entire country

Hey you, you're finally awake. You were trying to cross the border? Walked right into that imperial ambush, same as us and that thief over there.

This is how you do context

Honestly surprised to learn that Tom Lehrer just passed but this is the song of his that feels appropriate to the moment. In the pantheon of satirists. www.youtube.com/watch?v=frAE...

The most Boston thing that ever Bostoned

MRW “America Party”

One of my favorite annual @democracynow.org traditions is that we always play this video of James Earl Jones reading Frederick Douglass's speech "What to the Slave is the 4th of July?" If you've never read or heard the speech, it's well worth your time.

A new motto for our times.

This reminds me of when some budget airline bought the Pan Am trademark out of bankruptcy

Here is what we confirmed: After Musk’s rise to power in the U.S. government, the State Department has repeatedly coaxed, lobbied and browbeat this tiny West African country into giving business to Musk’s satellite company Starlink.

You don’t want him telling you how many dolls your kid can have. But here you are telling him how many free planes he can have. Checkmate liberals

Let facts be withheld from an ignorant world

In Soviet Canada, libs own you

You gotta admit it would be hilarious if Hillary Clinton led the revolution

2/4. The entire practice of the Holocaust of the Jews involved zones of statelessness. It is easier to move people away from law than it is to remove law from people. Almost all of the killing took place in artificially created stateless zones.

Sub: loudly, screamed, is.

Meanwhile in gaza

Thanks for this, @whitehouse.senate.gov

Can confirm, am nobody

Hank tough everyone

Carney: The system of global trade anchored on the United States.. is over. Our old relationship of steadily deepening integration with the United States is over. The 80 year period when the United States embraced the mantle of economic leadership… is over.

This alum says do it. Fight back. Do not surrender to Trump’s war on academia and academic freedom. This is autocracy. Leading institutions must stand up to it. Lead the way. Those that yield grease the path to authoritarianism.

This could easily be a trillion dollar verdict, assuming a functioning court to try it.

Tonight, in summary:

It's getting a lot of attn today. But even before today most of the country had very little idea of what has happened at NIH or through it the entire ecosystem of biomedical research in the US. Simply put, Musk, Kennedy & Trump exploded a bomb right in the middle of cancer cure research in the US.

We have reached the genocide phase in less than three months.

Normalizing blatant and unrepentant perjury is one of the most pernicious things that can happen to our profession. If we don’t have an obligation to the truth then litigation is just vibes and soundbites.

WOW

Sure sign they’re fully on board the trump train: they argue it’s everyone else’s fault but theirs.

Appreciate your concern, @thenation.com. It’s been tough. The president is a repeat sex offender, the word “female” is banned from scientific research, and ten year old girls are forced to give birth to their rapists’ babies. As a man, I am very distressed by this. Thanks for looking out for us.

Loneliness is at the core of so much of fascism’s success. Both for its supporters and those who hope to fight it. Community, then, is itself a form of resistance.

Funny how nobody is telling me I’m overreacting anymore.

How does this end?

Fun fact: “senate” and “senile” share the same Latin root

What the fuck?

This is going to get buried with all the other unpopular opinions. But we should compassionately and earnestly welcome regretful Trump voters. We need them for the constitutional reform that will be necessary. And they are our neighbors. This is the reconciliation part of truth & reconciliation.

Thank you @reed.senate.gov but your leader just threw you overboard

I’d like to let everyone at work know that I am not bringing a rhinoceros into the office today. I guarantee there will not be a rhinoceros in the office for at least the next 24 hours. Thank you for your attention to this important matter.

Democratic Senator Chris Murphy on Mahmoud Khalil.

Ok but where is his little tiny sign?

FLOW!!

@chrismurphyct.bsky.social , I have massive respect for you. But anyone who exercises judgment this poor is unqualified to lead us out of this. You did what Hillary Clinton and John Kerry did before you - gullibly believed bad people acting in bad faith.

Leave the Democratic Party. Take a critical mass of antifascist progressives with you. Obstruct everything. Win elections. Grow the base. Give us a home in American politics.

In an extraordinary display of public support, heads of state, heads of government, and foreign ministers from all over Europe and Canada are posting in support of Ukraine in response to the Oval Office meeting with Trump, Zelenskyy, and Vance.
