The heart of ruby red Missouri #NoKings

Missouri #NoKings

Among George Santos’ many scams was a “pet charity” where he swindled people out of money who needed it for medical care for their pets. This is who Trump just pardoned www.nytimes.com/2023/02/09/n...

Historian here No Kings is the most American thing you could say and the people opposing it simply don’t believe in our republic or constitutional democracy.

Mike Johnson has now had the House adjourned for 74 out of the last 86 days. They have worked 12 days in 3 months. Epstein Shutdown.

This is what every Dem should be saying. This this this.

You know what was weird last week? I didn’t see anyone fired for quoting words actually spoken by Jane Goodall.

Freedom is 20 kitted up feds armed to breach the bin laden compound chasing a delivery worker bsky.app/profile/marm...

Arthur Caplan: “The announcement on autism was the saddest display of a lack of evidence, rumors, recyling old myths, lousy advice, outright lies and dangerous advice I have ever witnessed by anyone in authority in the world claiming to know anything about science." www.nytimes.com/live/2025/09...

When the American government set out to erase indigenous culture, one woman set out to save tribal music, traveling far and wide with her cylinder phonograph, trousers, and bow tie www.themarginalian.org/2022/11/03/f...

Analysis | To get himself back on the air, Jimmy Kimmel must call for the execution of homeless people.

Ta-nehisi Coates asks the question - nearly directly to @ezrakleinbot.bsky.social - "If you would look away from the words of Charlie Kirk, from what else would you look away?"

So the white dude from Fox News said we should kill mentally ill homeless folks, he apologizes and they’re good; @karenattiah.bsky.social posts an accurate quote and says she’s not in the mood to mourn and gets bounced.

Q: Are there any other advantages to using ChatPerson over chatbots? A: Each of our server centers (human beings) only consumes enough water and electricity to sustain a human body in a modest studio apartment.

what a humiliating way for don jr. to find out his dad sends birthday cards.

Join "Your Local Epidemiologist" author @kkjetelina.bsky.social for a Reddit AMA today (Thursday, Sept. 4) about COVID-19, vaccines, public health and the RFK Jr. hearing. Dr. Jetelina will start answering your questions on r/IAmA around 3pm ET. Watch her interview from earlier this week ⬇️

Head of NASA Sean Duffy intends to destroy a satellite that collects key data on carbon dioxide and plant health, by causing it to burn up in the atmosphere. The U.S. Dept of Agriculture and private agriculture firms use the data to forecast crop yield, drought conditions and more.

The deeply shitty people running the country now are nothing new; there have always been deeply shitty people like them in America. Although in the past the media, academia, and even Congress were slower to surrender to them.

It is fucking insane that we had a decade of people complaining about the dangers of cancel culture, and now literally hundreds of thousands of people are being purged from government jobs for ideological reasons, but that is not cancel culture.

Paramount - which claimed cancelling Colbert was a purely financial decision - can now choose to lose $1.5 billion or else suffer Trey Parker & Matt Stone's new South Park episode which includes this parody of White House art.

As a long-term MAGA person I can excuse narcissism, mediocrity, childishness, dishonesty, racism, sexism, lawbreaking, dementia, incoherence, and blatant hostility to the constitution and American values, but I draw the line when I decide to stop ignoring that he’s also always clearly been a pedo

we are currently watching an entire political party run cover for the most notorious sex trafficking ring in modern human history

I guess Evenepoel just doesn’t have the balls to race. #TdF #tourdefrance

yeah okay let’s talk him into running for President

There’s a nonzero chance you will die from a cancer that could have been curable because people who couldn’t pass 7th grade biology and are scared of things like “mRNA” and “riboflavin” and “walkable cities” decided to make their ignorance everybody else’s problem

These are not strays. Beloved pets are heading to L.A. shelters as families face deportation. They need new fosters and forever homes.

You know what would have been a good story, @nytimes.com, is that a member of the board of trustees of a public university was using private student data hacked and stolen from another university You could have published that! You had all the information you needed to publish that!

I thought Phil Liggett retired from calling races at the ‘24 Olympics??? #TdF

The American Academy of Pediatricians bluntly telling us the current CDC can't be trusted, and of course they are absolutely correct publications.aap.org/aapnews/news...

If Emily Blunt won't be the next Bond, it should definitely be Stuart Martin. #jamesbond

We don't have to listen to him. We don't have to do what he says. There are so many ways around these fuckers.

This is the freight train almost no one has noticed coming down the tracks. Wage stagnation, expensive housing, smaller private pensions are going to be a terrible combination.

Mamdani should win but he's the latest example of the Democratic Party closing ranks to keep anyone young and exciting and full of energy out of the party - and then they spend countless millions on consultants trying to figure out why they're struggling with young voters

He just dropped $280,000,000 worth of artillery in a war that’s not ours, but our grandparents have to live on Ramen noodles because America can’t afford Meals on Wheels anymore. Make it make sense.

All it took was someone like Stephen Miller to whisper to supposedly 'anti-war-Trump', "But have you ever TRIED war, Mr. President?" #warcurious

“Over 250 million acres of public lands are eligible for sale in the bill, including local recreation areas, wilderness study areas and inventoried roadless areas.” www.wilderness.org/articles/med...

If Trump can casually threaten to cancel all of Musks contracts perhaps Democrats might make the point that they must not be all that essential then.

On the Trump-Musk feud, @aoc.bsky.social: “Oh man, the girls are fighting, aren’t they?”

Ming Li Hui, who has lived in a Missouri town for 20 years, is getting deported. This has shocked and angered the locals, many of whom back Trump. She spoke to us on our podcast straight from jail. She broke down in tears and made a wrenching appeal. Listen: newrepublic.com/article/1959...

There are 2 previous historical cases of countries destroying their science and universities, crippling them for decades: Lysenkoism in the USSR and Nazi Germany. The Trump administration will be the 3rd. It's not just budgets but research, institutions, expertise, and training the next generation.

"Brooke Nichols, an associate professor of global health at Boston University, has estimated that these cuts have already resulted in about 300,000 deaths, most of them of children, and will most likely lead to significantly more by the end of the year."

“No children are dying on my watch,” said Rubio. It's blatantly false. Credible estimates count 190K deaths so far. In Kenya, I am seeing devastating impact, incl this child's starvation & many deaths directly caused by Rubio’s actions. More in my @msnbc.com clip. www.instagram.com/atul.gawande...

All of NIH funding to Northwestern University is frozen. This pause includes noncompeting approved funding, new and competing grants with fundable scores. No reimbursements for money already spent have been received since March. This situation is rarely reported so please Please get the word out!

Consider writing your college — especially if you are a donor — and demanding why they are not taking a pubic stand against the administration’s abuses of higher education.

How Trump robs us from our future....

NSF administrators discouraged their own staff from gathering for a group photo for fear it would look like a protest. This is American now - where scientists are afraid to celebrate their achievements. Well done.

Hundreds of National Science Foundation staffers turned out for a group photograph to celebrate the besieged agency’s 75th anniversary—despite efforts by NSF officials to prevent the picture from being taken. scim.ag/4jcGpIt
