I talked to Bill Nye — yes, former “science guy” — about President Trump’s proposed cuts to NASA funding and what they would mean.

As basic question from an ex-police reporter: Can some of our journalists detail the training regimen all these new federal agents receive? The lethal incompetence involving use of force and perameters of the 4A suggests they are just handed guns, masks and badges and told to go fuck people up.

The FAA is delaying flights at Newark and Denver airports because they haven’t got enough air traffic control. Burbank has zero ATC from 4.30-10pm. Lots of controllers who aren’t being paid during the government shutdown are calling in sick.

I'm so tired. I just want to cook a dinner rotation where meals don't randomly double in price all the time

Some of you might enjoy this late night photo of the Space Shuttle Orbiter's birthplace in Palmdale~

Someone should write an obituary for the Hatch Act.

During a shutdown, the federal government furloughs all but the most essential employees (the 8chan recruit who posts groyper memes to the DHS X account).

🌟 very sad that my dear friend Jane Goodall has died. we were 1st in contact via fax letters to her home in Bournemouth, UK. we met in 1999, hit it off. she inspired me to write 3 songs: Counting On You, Roots & Shoots Everywhere and my tribute, Jane Jane (with her own chimp sounds). #RIPJaneGoodall

SCOOP: At 9:35am on Wednesday, the first morning of the US government shutdown, employees at the Small Business Administration (SBA) received a template from human resources for their suggested “out of office” email. They were advised to blame the Democrats.

generals gathered in their masses/president calls them all fatasses

The magnetic deflector shield glows brighter when it is under attack from a plasma energy weapon. (This is what is actually occurring.)

The headline here is “Hegseth announces changes that will protect domestic abusers in the military.” Even though this is incontestably true, no news organization will use this headline, because telling the truth is deemed impermissible if the truth hurts the right too much

i'm like a bird, I wanna fly away but i don't know where my phone is

Luckily it never got quite this bad at NASA

yeah this guy is dumber than donkey shit

All hail the best patent drawing ever

My family escaped Ukraine from the pogroms and were lucky enough to escape to the US. They took my family in — we had nothing and offered nothing, but a desire to get ahead and be free while being safe. This is a country of immigrants, and we should be honoring that history.

this is, hands down, the best video I've seen on men's influencer content and it's not close either

reposting with alt text because this feels incredibly significant. the right-wing disinfo machine means a lot of the people grieving Charlie Kirk never heard any of the things he said that would have tarnished his brand as Guy Who Just Wants to Have Dialogue Across the Aisle

Years and years and years of lead

They made a fucking "attacking Chicago" morale patch LMAO. It's also stupid that they're walking around an American city in multicam so they can feel cool and tactical.

They gave them squared off Nazi helmets.

Just because the Trump Administration wants to pretend climate change isn’t real, it doesn't make it any less urgent or concerning. It’s time to listen to the overwhelming majority of scientists and act accordingly, now.

From now on, our organization will only be posting Wellbee content.

Every second counts when fighting a fire like this one — Border Patrol’s decision to risk safety, slow operations down, and refuse to provide transparency is not acceptable.

Two men were detained in Washington while fighting the Bear Gulch fire — one of the largest active wildfires in the U.S. abcnews.go.com/US/border-pa...

This podcast kinda scared the shit out of me, not just because of what they're saying but because of who's saying it and where. And now Obama is sharing it! 🙃

ICE took 2 firefighters OFF THE FUCKING FIRE LINE!?

The print quality of his "police" shirt is of such low quality that the US flag on his shoulder is in tatters, which feels a little on the nose.

i'll say it again, my loud and vigorous support for any democrat who calls for televised hearings and criminal charges for everyone involved in DOGE. this guy should never be able to live in peace again.

things were better when the computer lived in its own specific room and you only went in there sometimes

Miller complaining about protestors-- "respectable" old white ones, no less!-- is a strong sign that 1) they are scared of protest; 2) protests are happening; and 3) they are having an impact, even if the media refuses to cover them.

🇺🇸 National Guard soldier speaks out: “I swore an oath to defend our constitution… seeking refuge is not an act of violence. Locking people up for it is.”

J.Free literally wrote the book on political violence leading up to the Civil War. Pay attention to what she says here because she knows what the hell she's talking about.

really feels like housing affordability is one of the most important political issues of our time, affecting nearly every aspect of our lives, and everyday our mainstream political discourse is about whether sour cream is woke or not

AI is amazing

It’s funny because you have to pay for water precisely because GOP have demanded cuts to even basic office amenities over the years.

Members took some great pictures at this evening's Fight Fascism rally in Palmdale. Thanks to all who stood up for democracy!

My favorite part of this is that the UK bans "ninja swords" but doesn't have a clear definition of what a ninja sword is. A western sword is perfectly legal to own.

I can't fucking believe it, these idiots exempted 700 goods from the 50% tariffs on Brazil—orange juice, nuts, iron ore, gas, etc etc—BUT THEY SPECIFICALLY LEFT THE 50% TARIFFS ON COFFEE, OUR 2ND LARGEST IMPORT FROM BRAZIL. They're genuinely trying to kill me for drinking coffee.

Nearly 4k NASA employees - about 20% of the agency - are announced to be leaving under the Trump admin’s deferred resignation program. This comes days after hundreds of #NASA workers signed the #VoyagerDeclaration. Sign your support for #NASA workers here ➡️zurl.co/vHTrh zurl.co/93cyM
