Zelenskyy says he’s “100%” sure Russia shared satellite intel with Iran before the strike on a U.S. base in Saudi Arabia. Based on Intelligence, Russian satellites reportedly imaged the base just days before the attack that wounded U.S. troops. #USDemocracy #Pinks apple.news/A_eeH0YY2RwC...

have I mentioned recently how earnestly and unironically I love survey research

Oscar winner David Borenstein: “You lose your country through countless small acts of complicity.” Remember: Even a nobody is more powerful than you think. 🔥

Why do I feel like there's an editor at the New York Time whose sole job is to insert "appeared to" before every statement of fact exposing Trump's mendacity.

In a direct exchange with Sen. John Cornyn, Sen. Dick Durbin methodically explains to Cornyn how the SAVE Act would adversely affect voters and election administration. …

Please read this article to the end. Even before ICE got involved, this started because this *blind man who speaks no English and uses a curtain rod as a walking stick* got lost on a walk and some Karen called the police on him and they tasered and beat him bc he didn’t drop the rod. WTF

Kurt Vonnegut stop being so applicable to all time periods of American life, you can’t do that Kurt Vonnegut, your insights are too evergreen Kurt Vonnegut

Wow.

Hello! I see you've decided to conflate a human being being an evil fascist apologist committing crimes and perpetuating fraud with (checks notes) being a woman. Perhaps you would like to not do this.

I just removed about a half ton of ice from my driveway that was impeding my freedom. Make of that what you will.

More Murphy, less Schumer.

my expectation of democratic senators is that they find 1/10th of the bravery of your average 70 year old lutheran lady following ICE around mpls in her subaru crosstrek

“I just checked—it turns out that Art. II, Sec. 1 of the Constitution of the United States does *not* say ‘The executive Power shall be vested in a bunch of sociopaths who think they can do whatever the f*ck they want and make sh*t up as they go along.’” — George Conway

This is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again. www.nature.com/immersive/d4...

The Nobel Foundation makes yet another statement:

This right here: “Not introducing articles of impeachment is a message that Trump hasn't committed impeachable offenses.”

Who’s gonna tell ‘em

This is the scandal. Trump isn’t targeting dangerous people. He’s targeting peaceful immigrants. Almost exclusively.

ABC Mary Bruce deserves a Pulitzer Prize for asking the Saudi Prince this question:

Next season of “UVA BOV” is going to have a whole new cast

I could spend all day looking at this! 🤯

Is the Louvre on Bluesky yet? I have a submission

From @katejbaer.bsky.social's book, And Yet: bit.ly/baerandyet #poem #books #writing

They!

Just purchased 4 more copies of @josephfasano.bsky.social book after sharing my copy with the English Dept at the high school where I teach. The teachers are eager to help their students create!

Delay in cancer treatment due to mishandled and inappropriate layoffs at NIH. Might affect you or family member. Don’t you delay. Contact your representatives about inappropriate cuts to NIH www.congress.gov/contact-us

Working with an interdisciplinary team, we have developed a website to communicate how the White House's proposed cuts to health research would cause losses of $16B and 68,500 jobs. Find out how your community may be impacted. Explore more at SCIMaP: scienceimpacts.org a 🧵

Nothing will kill more children than the ongoing decimation of CDC, NIH, and USAID work to lift vaccine uptake in the US and world. Child survival rose 75% in the last 50 years. Vaccines account for 40% of that. Measles vax alone was 60% of the benefit. www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

The coolest thing I’ve seen today is that a bunch of volunteer public health professionals and developers have restored the CDC website from before January 20th 2025. This differs from an archive in that they want to rebuild the links between pages and replicate the full website.

“It’s a beautiful thing, the destruction of words.” “The purpose..was not only to provide a medium of expression for the world-view & mental habits proper to..Ingsoc, but to make all other modes of thought impossible.” “the whole aim of Newspeak is to narrow the range of thought.” Orwell, ‘1984’

Very happy to be elevating this issue. Join the conversation with this piece in The 74 written by David Liben and Sue Pimentel: www.the74million.org/article/read... and then read my and David's companion case study for what teachers can do until it changes: static1.squarespace.com/static/66982...

British PM Starmer hugged Zelenskyy. That’s how bad U.S. foreign policy has gotten—it’s driving the Brits to physical displays of emotion.

Protect your peace.

This is brilliant foresight.

Appreciate @natwexler.bsky.social for the shoutout in her new book on our support of #edprep programs to embed #cogsci! At DFI, we work directly w programs AND drive policy change at scale. The path to system change is long, but we’re making it happen. www.the74million.org/article/cont...

Wow, phenomenal work. 75% of pancreatic cancer patients alive 3 years after receiving a personalised mRNA vaccine. Durable CD8+ T cell responses underlying the therapeutic benefit. Congrats to the authors 👊👏 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Make a huge mistake. Then make a false claim about how you fixed it. They did it for PEPFAR. Now Ebola. I follow this particular topic VERY closely, so here's what really happened and why this isn't true AT ALL...🧵

Sharing more townhall videos today because they’re giving me hope. THIS is good trouble! Who is this man? I want to shake his hand and buy him a drink.
