1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

This will be the global legacy of Trump and Musk - causing avoidable death and suffering out of pure malice. Musk claims he has a plan to colonize Mars and save humanity, but all we see is him supporting Nazis, destroying democracy and killing innocents, while getting richer than anyone in history.

I would assume Musk sees himself as some kind of omnipotent Earth King. Please … let him go, Tesla Nerds. I promise he doesn’t love you.

"World's first potential trillionaire has killed 600,000 people, including 400,000 children" is the only headline that anyone should ever read about Elon Musk

“Tell your children who the cowards were.”

"normies do not care about this thing and so it is no use raising a stink" is imho just an excuse for not doing politics, which is the job of making normies care about something

Separation of Church & State protects everyone's right to however they want to practice (or not) their faith.

I love this so much

i desperately want everyone involved in the destruction of USAID to have to, st the very least, answer to the american people for the suffering and misery they have caused apnews.com/article/myan...

Or else

All the videos we see of ICE/police/military assaulting people on camera are happening because they know they will face no consequences for their actions. They're breaking the law because they believe the law no longer applies to them. What kept them in check before was fear. Now they have none.

If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, gun reform, universal child care, and a living wage. The right-wing agenda isn’t about “life.” It’s about control.

Nearly 10% of humanity (~800M people in 2025) struggles to live on less than $3 a day. It’s important for Americans to appreciate that reality — and the growing gap between the extremely poor & the extremely privileged — because, as USAID demonstrated, our nation has the power to change it. 🧵 1/8

Really interesting conversation. Worth a watch

We don’t call everyone who disagrees with us a Nazi, JD, just the ones doing Nazi shit like: -masked secret police kidnapping people off the street -creating concentration camps -attempting to eradicate trans people -banning/burning LGBTQ/opposing viewpoint books -murdering fishermen in open waters

If my writing about autism does anything, whether it be in my books, my columns or my reported stories, I hope it advances the idea that autistic people are whole human beings as they are with legitimate needs and inner lives that deserve to be told the same as other stories.

New Ep alert 🚨 RFK Jr.’s big report on autism is scheduled to come out this month, and we’re hearing that it might point the finger at Tylenol as a possible cause. The science on this is full of plot twists and nerd fights - we dive in. open.spotify.com/episode/0afn...

Historians will call the time period we're currently living in "The Great Hypocrisy"

Prominent far-right influencers have been attempting to rehabilitate Hitler's reputation. That's not an exaggeration; it's easily documented. I wrote about why they are doing this, what they hope to gain, and what it means for America.

there is no question in my mind that rfk jr is the most dangerous person in this administration and that his eugenicist ideology threatens the lives of millions of people www.advocate.com/politics/dem...

Remember when COVID vaccines were first available? Remember how they saved lives and helped us move toward normalcy? Remember how relieved and grateful we were? Remember how amazing our healthcare workers were? Remember how science rescued us?

One of the more important actions we can take in the year ahead is to help other people keep from losing their minds in an environment of weaponized unreality and falling into despair as a result. Here’s Soul II Soul with “Keep on Movin’” from their 1989 album by the same name. Enjoy 😊

“Don’t politicise school shootings” as if it isn’t policy choice to allow gun lobbyists to influence looser gun laws in government.

"The Brownshirts wore brown shirts. And pants, coats, hats, insignia, etc. They had an actual uniform that they wore like brand ambassadors for authoritarian paramilitary violence. ICE? Not so much. No official uniform, no clear identification."

In a world where are so many good people, by what perverse law is power held by the most despicable?

“Where were you during the moment of the Great Decision?”

Interesting. Does anyone know how this turned out? encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/a...

They "don't believe in erasing American history." Unless you're talking about slavery. Or the genocide of Indigenous people. Or Japanese internment camps. Or the Tulsa massacre. Or Jim Crow. Or January 6th.

The order of science: 1.) Discover there’s a deadly problem 2.) Work for years to solve it 3.) The problem may not be gone forever, but we’ve won 4.) People forget the deadly problem actually existed 5.) People decide this must mean the science to solve it was a hoax 6.) The deadly problem returns

Social media accurately predicted in one Peanuts strip from 1956.

When you were a kid, did you dream you would grow to be the kind of person who considered doctors, scientists, librarians, teachers, astronauts, and now Mr. Rogers as your mortal enemies? What kind of person does that make you? Is there anything left in there? C'mon. www.youtube.com/watch?v=fKy7...

While we often talk about America as a nation that has racially progressed, the truth is that there have always been two concurrent movements, one advancing civil rights and liberties, and the other seeking to diminish them.

Better the hard truth, I say, than the comforting fantasy. - Carl Sagan

Excellent thread. I hope my kids remember as they grow that I will be there for them to soften the difficult parts of life rather than shame them for not being so unfeeling that injustice and discomfort no longer bother them. All children deserve that, autistic or not. I wish I had gotten that.

Now would be a good time to buy my book We're Not Broken: Changing the Autism Conversation, which explores how cranks and hucksters exploited the increase in autism diagnoses to promote disinformation and stigma around #ActuallyAutistic people. www.harpercollins.com/products/wer...

U2 released ‘Zooropa’ 32 years ago on July 5, 1993 | Listen to the album + revisit our tribute here: album.ink/U2zooropa

I'm so old I remember when Zohran Mamdani's policies were mainstream Democratic positions & not 'socialism' The party has been pulled so far right in Reagan's wake it views the simple idea of helping people as something to be suspicious of and hostile toward

Computers used to scream every time they connected to the Internet. They knew. They tried to warn us. We did not listen.
