"To make the proof" shows how absurd this all is from a scientific standpoint.

Some exciting news: 404 Media just won a grant via Muckrock to investigate book bans and educational censorship in the U.S. The plan is to file hundreds of public records requests around the country and to report on and archive all the documents for public use: www.404media.co/help-us-inve...

There are now one or two of Elon Musk's Starlink satellites falling back to Earth every single day. According to Smithsonian astrophysicist Jonathan McDowell, that figure is only going to keep climbing. futurism.com/space/elon-m...

Men claim women talk too much, but boy if you get that man on a panel, he will over talk every woman present in the room.

Carbon dioxide removal research and development should be government-funded and government-led.

Pope Leo XIV has blasted how wealthy people live in a “bubble of comfort and luxury” while the poor suffer. In his first teaching document Thursday, Leo confirms that he is in perfect lockstep with Pope Francis on matters of social injustice.

Do ICE agents always have a cameraman following them, or are these 2 just special assholes! This is unbelievable! Keep filming guys!! Our Governor wants us to keep filming!! 🎥🎥 #IllinoisStrong

Horrific

Good morning my friends, Happy Wednesday!! When truth is replaced by silence, the silence is the lie. Speak truth to power. Go out today and speak the truth and set yourself free. Enjoy your day, we are half way there💙💙💙

Stop blaming windmills — it’s AI. No, literally: AI is why our power bills are up.

A 14-year-old has to face a masked ICE agent threatening them with deportation — that’s the reality under this administration.

This is amazing.

People think that when you become disabled, support magically appears That once it’s “official” you will have your basic needs met The truth is people fight for years to get the bare minimum in benefits Caregivers are nearly impossible to find If you’re not rich or very lucky… you’re on your own

One of my favorite things is to make a fancy dinner for no reason other than we are alive and we get to have pleasurable experiences. Tonight, I made a spectacular roast leg of lamb, squash + peas, and a tomato salad (the last from the garden). Joy, pleasure: these are resistance, too.

People are being robbed. The answer to that is not shame or anger. The answer is empathy and compassion.

Stephen Miller said the quiet part out loud. Trump has “plenary authority,” then suddenly went silent. Their plan wasn’t to be public yet. Clearly, someone hit the panic button in his earpiece. It gets weirder: CNN uploaded the interview with the “plenary authority” comment edited out. 1/2

Stephen Miller froze after mentioning “plenary authority.” … but what is plenary authority?

Michigan Avenue right now.

I can’t believe I have to say this, but historically, masked men who kidnap families in the middle of the night are usually not the good guys.

Murray: I talked to a family that’s paying about $300 a month for their health insurance. It’s going to jump to over $1,800 per month. Many people will turn away and not pay for it—obviously, they’ll lose their health insurance. The fewer people who have insurance, the more everybody pays.

Adoptable husky alert in Modesto!

Today marks yet another day that Speaker Mike Johnson has denied Adelita Grijalva her right to govern. She won her special election on Sept 23rd but has yet to be sworn in. Why? Because she will become the 218th vote needed to discharge the release of the Epstein files. Say her name.

Trump: we don’t need to pay furloughed federal workers Federal workers: we don’t have to work for no pay

A new White House memo says that furloughed federal workers aren't entitled to back pay. This is clearly against the law, which guarantees furloughed federal employees back pay for the duration of a government shutdown.

Streets are still closed off in front of the Portland ICE facility at 8:30pm. Protesters have gathered on a side street. Dance party in progress.

🧪 NEW STUDY of fracking and drinking water in PA: “Our results verify that unintended communication events can result in widespread contamination of subsurface water sources” The verb “verify” references the 200+ previous studies that also found fracking harms water www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Kristi Noem is in PDX today. She brings the cameras w/ her and is desperate to incite Americans to do things she can film and edit into propaganda vids. Do not give her what she wants. The regime is frantic to manufacture a riot. Do not give them what they want.

What's happening in Chicago is not normal. The arrest of Alderperson Fuentes is just the latest example of how far Noem and Bovino are willing to go to ignore the rule of law. We must all speak up.

Y'all who keep lecturing protesters to "not give them an excuse" need to pause for a minute. Imagine yourself telling a DV victim, "Be sure not to mouth off or make any mistakes so he won't hit you. Don't give him an excuse! It's what he wants!" That's what you fools sound like.

I’m seeing a lot of misinformation, shaming and disinformation around masking to prevent covid. First things first, the only way to avoid Long Covid is to avoid Covid. Second, a layered approach works best to prevent infection. One of those layers is masking. 🧵

This is exactly what the right wants— our silence. They want us afraid and to stop speaking up, to check out, to shut up about politics. We can’t give them that. Not now. Not ever.

If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor. If an elephant has its foot on the tail of a mouse and you say that you are neutral, the mouse will not appreciate your neutrality. -Desmond Tutu

“We believe it’s our duty to sound the alarm about this administration’s degradation of DoJ’s vital work, and its assault on the public servants who do it,” according to an open letter signed by 282 former officials. It will take years to rebuild our Justice Dept. www.msnbc.com/msnbc/news/e...

Mario Guevara, an independent journalist best known for reporting on ICE raids in the U.S., has been deported to El Salvador. His letter from detention is a must-read.

Fox News viewers are being forced to accept the truth about the shutdown — health care costs are increasing, and Republicans won’t do anything about it.

“People over Papers, a crowdsourcing project that maps sightings of US immigration agents, was taken offline yesterday by Padlet, the collaborative bulletin board platform on which it was built. It’s just the latest ICE-tracking initiative to be pulled by tech platforms in the past few days.”

Check on your friends. Visit them if you can. Meet up with them if you. Folks are going through it. 🙏🏽

Whoa! The shutdown’s ripple effect starting to hit. Burbank Airport in LA County has no air traffic controllers on duty due to sick calls, last-minute day-off requests, and staffing shortages. If you’re flying anywhere in the country, check for delays.

Every week I recruit more archaeologists and every week I run out of archaeologists again. Lol.

WIC looks to be the first government assistance program to be disrupted entirely, meaning they’re going to run out of funds in as little as a week to two weeks, due to the government shutdown. While other programs have a month or more emergency funds. WIC does not have enough to make it that long.
