I don't think it's fully appreciated just how much Trumpism is a celebration of ignorance. Trump not only never learns but proactively avoids it. It's a braindead movement from the top down.

Does Neil deGrasse Tyson Believe in God?

As the federal govt considers “investigating” ActBlue, I can report that i sat through meeting where they literally patterned their version of it, called WinRed as identical. They even follow me (screenshot for when they unfollow in a panic soon:

“They put poison in the food, it makes us sick.“ The reality here is so fucking boring that it doesn’t stick on anyone’s head. What “they” did was make food cheap and “ultra palatable” which is the fancy phrase for “very yummy.” Thats it. A huge part of the problem is that food is too good.

Oh. "This is about whether we have functional constitutional government in this country. If the IRS can go after you because of what you think or what you believe or what you do, we'd no longer live in a free country.“

@harvard.edu thank you for standing up to the orange bully!

Not a single word to help the 33m small businesses in this country. Not from anyone in the administration. So many buy from China, and don't have alternatives. So many didn't have the cash to front run the tariffs and buy inventory

I do think it's worth marking and remembering that these people were willing to tolerate everything we've experienced since January and more provided it didn't disrupt the economy.

watching rich Trump supporters freak out after losing money in the stock market is quite fun! Fuck them for not caring about a single other horrendous thing he’s done though

“Kennedy’s team requested that Marks turn over data on cases of brain swelling and deaths caused by the measles vaccine—data that Marks said doesn’t exist because there have been no such confirmed cases in the U.S.” www.wsj.com/health/healt...

Kamala was right about everything

He drinks a whiskey drink He drinks a vodka drink He drinks a lager drink He drinks a cider drink He sends a text that remind him of the war plans He sends a text that reminds him of the war crimes #Hegseth

Today I lost an NIH grant training clinicians to do research about intimate partner violence with perinatal women. More women are murdered in the perinatal period than die of obstetric complications. I didn't just lose a grant. We lost an entire cohort of people building careers to prevent that.

I want a President that’s not a cuck for autocrats and billionaires.

nobody writes songs about working on the river or going down by the river or taking me to the river anymore. we gotta bring that back, there were a lot of bangers about the river back in the day.

For all those people who think “the left got more radical,” this is what the evolution of the GOP has looked like over the past few years.

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

This is the gold standard measure of atmospheric carbon, the one you see in almost every chart that tracks emissions.

They're bringing drugs. They're bringing crime. They're bringing eggs.

Trump 2025: Tough on Ukraine, Soft on Russia and China

There’s something happening in this country.

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

All my life I’ve heard that capitalism is necessary to drive innovation. Yet, the largest communist country has the best AI, best phones, and best EVs, all at cheaper prices than largest capitalist country 🤔

looking at the TikTok app now after that entire stunt

TikTok last night: “We’re going down, but Trump will save us” Goes black for a few hours: “Okay guys, we’re back because Trump saved us.” The writers are being so lazy in the season of America.

Just making sure that everyone is aware of this crab that NOAA scientists found

My one wish for the inauguration is that there is a gift bag under the seats of Bezos, Zuck, Elon etc, with a single, embroidered , padded knee pad Need to protect themselves when they are on bended knee, kissing the ring 🤷😆

this is our actual climate future staring us in the face - no consensus reality or shared source of authority, rampant conspiracies everywhere, more pressure to address made up nonsense than the underlying problem conspiracy theories are fully mainstream now

The post-truth populists believe they have won. But the currents of history pull them along, as they do the rest of us. Many dangers that await us, await us all. The hall of mirrors that justifies their power, will develop significant cracks when these dangers are widely felt.

We gotta reject “Well, RFK jr. is right about some things” and accept “if we don’t confront the real problems with our systems, it becomes much easier for con artists like this guy to manipulate people.”

I have a feeling these memes aren’t going away. 🤣 #PresidentMusk

Morning. ☕️

A friend described the current Democratic response to the political moment “bringing a strongly worded letter to a knife fight” and I can tell that’s one of those phrases that’s going to be sticking

This goes one of two ways: our democracy sinks beneath the ocean permanently (80%) or the backlash against billionaires is shocking in its size, scope and fury (20%) The latter would take people realizing that a very small group of people are destroying Earth, but it's not as fun as owning the libs

this only suggests to me that everyone needs to keep being meaner to those in power. the wealthy elite need to be scared
