Raskin: "What we have is the Trump Justice Department organizing itself not around the interests of the survivors -- the people who were victimized by Maxwell and Epstein -- but rather organizing itself around protecting the perpetrators."

Would be great if this were reported like the gross violation it is rather than as a playful endeavor by a mercurial billionaire.

Some #kidlit picture book folks think making characters animals solves a lot of gender issues... turns out that's wrong. Thanks to @mellymeldubs.bsky.social (curious about representation of genders outside the binary, if any...) www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/...

It has taken medical science 200 years to advance humans to the point where people are so healthy and living so long that they can deny that science and medicine is what got us here.

😬😬😬 big yikes

American adults have such a pervasive culture of demanding obedience from children, and that will always be antithetical to art.

Congratulations on learning absolutely nothing about making deals with him, Senator.

If people want to stop being compared to Nazis they should stop acting like Nazi collaborators.

We want to hear from you! Texas Republicans are about to convene to pass a new congressional map at Trump's urging to gain seats. Huge implications for politics, racial justice, the VRA... We've invited a redistricting expert to answer questions from our readers. So... send us your questions. ⤵️

I called my US senators and rep to ask them to publicly call for investigations of Twitter's Nazi posts, to call for a boycott of Twitter, and to delete their own Twitter accounts. If you agree, feel free to call your own reps. You can find them here: reps.fyi www.rollingstone.com/culture/cult...

If there was ever a time to call your Senator, this is it. Voting has begun on the GOP plan to cut off health care for working-class Americans and slash taxes for the wealthiest.

I ❤️ Budapest.

Republican senators have been racing to pass their bill before people learn about these numbers. But at some point Americans are going to notice anyway. Including the ~half of Medicaid recipients who voted for Trump.

When the establishment Dems were basically Republicans all along

"Undeterred, she came back a few days later when the gate was unlocked. This time, she drove straight inside, not asking permission. Her staff 'deliberately dropped me off inside the lobby before they knew that we were there,' she said." More of this. Thank you, @chu.house.gov.

The easiest way to explain ranked choice voting is that it's a sandwich order, not a tier list. If I said your choices are turkey, ham, or dogshit, you wouldn't be like "ok my third choice is dogshit", you'd simply omit the shit sandwich.

Fear is also a border. On #WorldRefugeeDay, our new animation explores how fear shapes the journey of those forced to flee. Doctors Without Borders offers mental health support to those in need, even when borders close due to prejudice. 📣 Report if you stand with refugees.

What's going on in Florida is a playbook that will be adopted by other red states.

Silly-sounding science is what happens when researchers do exactly what they are supposed to do, which is thinking freely and exploring new ideas with wide-open curiosity. 🧪 www.americanscientist.org/article/%E2%...

Almost two decades of learning how smart phones, and apps, and social media are fucking with our brains it's wild seeing everything including schools going all in on LLMs even if the research didn't say it was rotting our brains. We've learned nothing about the precautionary principle

Last year, Kroger's CEO raked in $15.4 million — 457x more than its typical employee. Kroger also announced $7.5 billion in stock buybacks. I don't want to hear that Kroger can't afford to treat its employees fairly. Solidarity to these workers.

I’ve been researching this for 18 years and the only things that determine whether or not an act is called terrorism is a) the race & religion of the person doing it, b) whether it upholds current power structures or fights against them. Which makes it very, very clear who has power right now.

No Kings! Go New York! Honestly it is moving and I am so pleased with us. We need to do more, but this is good.

In Nature Human Behaviour, Peter Gleick calls on scientists who are able and willing to do so to speak out publicly against the Trump administration’s attack on science, and argues that although dissent carries risks, it is riskier to stay silent. go.nature.com/3FIV7cC 🧪

Isaac Asimov on, "If God is Dead, Everything is Permitted?"

This sort of "here is how we know" article, in which the evidence is thoroughly summarized and clearly explained and common counter-arguments are calmly debunked with evidence, is probably something we should be doing a lot more of. Some people are not persuadable. Many are. #SciComm 🧪
