we are losing so much talent, progress, and hope for no good reason www.vox.com/future-perfe...

So they came here for the racism but our gun problem and police violence is so overwhelming that now they’re going back?

🙀🙀🙀

Everything here looks like it was bought from a TikTok ad for an online “boutique” that catches your eye but screams “we’re basically a Temu-like scam site selling cheap rip offs” once you click through.

Given the likelihood of electoral shenanigans here in Georgia (every year but especially this year), the AG and SOS elections are arguably the most critically important ones on our state ballots.

Russell Vought has quietly overthrown basically the entire government and almost no one (except scientists!) has noticed. He does not follow laws passed by Congress (budgets are laws!) and he does not obey legal rulings. And no one elected him to a damn thing.

You cannot tell voters (accurately) this is a fascist regime that is hell bent on destroying us - let alone rely on it (as Dems are) as your GOTV while also voting yourselves to enable the regime.

Another reminder that health insurers in the US are THE WORST. This week it’s @bcbsm.bsky.social next week it’ll be another one.

It was time to oust Stephen Miller way back when started the family separation policy at the start of Trump’s first term. That this racist shit heel is still employed in public life at all is a profound failing of our country.

Democrats MUST make SCOTUS reform a key platform item for 2028. Ethics code. Term limits. Expansion and recusal guidelines. Fair nomination rules. Rein in shadow docket. Investigations into misconduct by current members. Americans deserve a high court they can respect.

If there was any connection between COVID vax and cancer, they wouldn’t have to keep platforming the same one researcher making that claim.

But WHY is this at the same time as @laurelbristow.bsky.social’s event AND the @storycollider.bsky.social event?! These are the main three #ATLSciFest events I want to attend!

This guy is an absolute menace.

on ACIP member Retsif Levi: "it was clear that he was not familiar with the way the data is collected and potential wrong interpretations. What was more troubling: he didn’t seem to care." #Medsky #IDsky #COVID #vaccines #science #publichealth

It's looking increasingly like these guys thought that if they could wreak more death and destruction than the other side then they would be respected as strong powerful men and they would "win" and that would make them big important heroes. Very possibly they had no rationale deeper than that.

Because he’s wanted this since his bestie John McCain was singing “bomb bomb Iran”.

This is peak Dull Men’s Club content. (complimentary)

The risk for babies who get measles under the age of 6 months to develop this within 10 years is 1 in 600.

April 12th? With two months left in the school year??

That’s too bad. I don’t think she had a realistic chance here but I was intrigued enough to want to learn more!

This has always been Kennedy's goal.

The caliber of these candidates says A LOT about how the national GOP thinks this race is going to go. The big names are either sitting out entirely or opting to go after the Governor seat instead.

We aren’t celebrating because the existence of the budget means dick all when Russ Vought refuses to release the appropriated funds to the agencies.

When people say lower drug prices will harm innovation, it is important to ask if our current system incentivizes the innovation we truly need... "The findings highlight a mismatch between business incentives and public health needs." #healthpolicy www.statnews.com/2026/03/10/d...

Not wrong, because any other President would’ve been tossed in prison many times over by now.

If this was a bad thing that was still popular (like Don’t Ask Don’t Tell back in the day), or a good thing that people hated (like COVID stay home orders), I could understand the hesitation. But this war is both bad AND unpopular! What are you even doing?!

In January, Jeffries declined to whip against DHS funding. Then DHS murdered Alex Pretti, and Dems had to play catchup to the politics. Now Jeffries won't commit to whip against Trump's war. This isn't rocket science - unify Dems against bad and unpopular things! www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...

Let’s get one thing straight: We are not a Christian nation. We are a nation where you are free to be a Christian. Your religion guides you, not all of us. It’s as simple as that.

Yeah… If you have multiple millions of dollars sitting on your bank accounts, I’m ok with the “first” $75k that you make every year still being taxed.

There is apparently credible evidence that the president of the United States is a pedophile. The comforting phrase “accused him without evidence” no longer fits this situation, and journalists must resort to the more perfunctory “hasn’t been formally charged.” www.thedailybeast.com/key-details-...

we’ve had two truly enormous crises under Trump and the first one was covid which everyone apparently gave him a pass for despite the fact that he made it worse but this one is completely, obviously, unquestionably his fault and would not have happened without him

This is @kffhealthnews.org this morning. You think we have a measles problem? Yes, yes we do

Republicans only view energy as a national security issue because they equate “protecting our country” with “protecting their bank accounts”.

I am absolutely convinced that Trump promised Rubio we would go after Cuba. That’s how he’s gotten Rubio to go along with everything else. It’s only a matter of time.

January 6 succeeded the moment Mitch McConnell voted to acquit Trump.

war ≠ tariffs Tariffs imposed arbitrarily can be reversed arbitrarily, and removal acts similar to a stimulus. Most who adjusted economic activity can readjust. People killed in war don't come back to life. Infrastructure destroyed in war doesn't start working again. You can't just take it back.

Arguably for the second time. Under a different administration, COVID would have never exploded like it did in the U.S., which made it so much harder to get things under control elsewhere.

$1 BILLION a day for a war. That same $1B could instead could in the US: - Fund ~40% of the U.S. HIV treatment program - Feed ~5.6 million people for a month through SNAP - Equal ~¼ of the entire federal homelessness budget Every. Single. Day.

Why is the question always “why aren’t you funding the troops we’ve already sent to war?” and never “why did you send Americans into war without securing the money to keep them safe first??”

There's something deeply obscene and broken about the fact that Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth are bombing elementary schools in an illegal war of aggression, and there's still a sense among the opposition that it has to be explained in terms of gas prices in order to get American voters to care.

Absolutely brutal scheduling for @atlscifiexpo.bsky.social to have both of these events AND @storycollider.bsky.social all at the same time.

trump has numbed me to a lot of things but the lack of fucking respect will never stop galling me

Looking forward to seeing some folks this afternoon! #standupforscience

Casey Means still doesn’t have the votes. Keep the letters coming.

Huh. Interesting!

Just unnecessarily combative and aggressive at every turn.

We’re going to attack Cuba before the end of March.

Secretary Noem's legacy is one of racial profiling, abuse by ICE and CBP, free speech violations, and more. While she is leaving DHS, the anti-immigrant policies devised by White House aide Stephen Miller aren't. Congress must remain firm and deny funding to DHS until they truly rein in ICE.

Democrats may not be able to prevent Mullin's confirmation, but they can certainly turn his track record of offense and stupidity into two days of televised humiliation so spectacular that he is wounded in Trump's eyes from day 1. That is the job.

There’s going to be SO much unnecessary yelling.
