Steyer: I have a strong anti-ICE platform. I think they are a criminal organization, and we have a very strong plan when it comes to prosecuting them. You don’t have to trust me. The head of ICE went online to say that my program is unfair to ICE agents, and I took that as a huge compliment.

Discrimination based on gender identity or expression is illegal in New York City. Trans New Yorkers are protected by law. Our City will protect your rights, defend your humanity and stand beside you without hesitation.

Barred owl babies are fed by parents for 4-6 months. Even after they can fly at 5 weeks of age they remain dependant on their parents who teach them to search for food.

There's such a wonderful tradition of Paleozoic marine dioramas in museums around the world. Here's a set that doesn't exist any more, displayed at the Field Museum from 1951 to 1990.

"He's doing these things now because no one will honor him when he's gone" is a very good line of attack against Trump.

it has been a remarkable year

This is just ballots turned in. Many young voters don't fill out the "down ballot" local races. This allows seniors to dominate local politics despite being a minority. Don't let them do that! Use Ballotpedia or Vote411 to learn about candidates & be an informed voter of the whole ballot

Gov. Mikie Sherrill's mishandling of protests outside the Newark ICE detention center, with violent state troopers running amok, is a national embarrassment To make it worse, Sherrill invoked the vile "outside agitator" trope of 1960s segregationists My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/miki...

“The pitch is simple: put Colbert on public television as the host of a series of specials built around the same mix of comedy, politics, culture, and civic-minded mischief that made him broadcast television’s No.1 late-night host.” Put me down for a tote bag.

For reasons I do not fully grok I feel like Gender never really stuck as a normative ideal for me; at least from a fairly young age, like maybe mid/late teens, being a Real Man stopped being a thing I was invested in, though nor have I ever really reacted against it. Just felt fairly neutral on it.

Thread.

This is the message. Any Democrat willing to sacrifice trans folks—especially kids—will sacrifice anything.

from 30,000 ft, he's a demagogue, a questionable pick for Senator with 0 political experience squeaking thru a process that should elevate qualified, knowledgable public servants we can trust -- a healthy cultural democracy deserves much better than him but from 1,000 ft, it's too late to complain

Platner is an excellent example of a short cut

Just test rode @bagofmoons.bsky.social’s Velotric Breeze and that sound you heard all over South Minneapolis was me cackling with sheer joy zooming down the street if you’ve never tried riding an e-bike before (I hadn’t) DO IT, they are so much fun

Okay, this is freaking my dream because I am “google car-ing” it up whenever I travel over land or water. Pix and more pix.

I’m a climate scientist. Let me fix this headline. “Nearly a century ago, scientists showed that burning fossil fuels warms the planet. Today, we know human emissions account for over 100% of the warming. Yet dark money and disinformation still work to keep Americans addicted to fossil fuels.”

We need to be super clear here … on my e-bike, I can go *well over* 20 mph if I *also* pedal, just as I can go well over 20 mph on my regular bike by using my own metabolic energy. Opponents will twist our own language against us.

I love that there's incontroverible proof Talarico is straight in this picture and it isn't the girlfriend.

I *am* old, and old-fashioned in the way I talk. I actually use the subjunctive in ordinary speech. I was saying to Laura, "If it were cooler..." Then I noticed myself saying "If it were cooler..." A hundred years ago, it would have been routine, maybe even 50 years ago. Now? Now I noticed.

really not beating the pedophilia wrap

Just got a survey from my university asking how I use AI in research, wanting details on barriers to use as well as burdens that AI has reduced for me. Not one question about barriers or burdens that the use of AI has created. So the unstated position is that it must be good. This is advertorial.

Released 46 years ago "Police Truck"—the B-side to "Holiday in Cambodia." Too good and too important to be released merely as a B-side. #punk #punks #punkrock #hardcorepunk #deadkennedys #history #punkrockhistory

the biggest bubble ever constructed is white male U.S. corporate hustlebro culture, and it's painfully disorienting for the sad chaps when they wander off campus into the real world

Simple. Because it’s a thousand times easier to destroy than to build.

Because it’s a lot harder to make something built to last (and withstand legal scrutiny) than it is to flood the zone with shit and tell someone else to try to clean it up. The fight is asymmetric, all statements like this say is “I wish it was as easy to do good things as it is to do bad ones”.

CNN reports that Jasmine Crockett's spokesperson says the Dems shouldn't bother investing in the Tx Senate race. And she hasn't endorsed either. I really like her but this is bad politics. The Dems can't afford to write off anyone. I guess she doesn't owe anyone anything but the stakes are so high

I think about this a lot.

oh, hmmm ... well, then ... I suppose we should pull every lever to oppose him? or do you think the support you need to make it past the primary will appear out of thin air? what would a wise public servant do?

Going to say it again. Stop using AI cartoons in posts. There are plenty of editorial cartoonists who would be happy to let you repost their work; just ask them.

This functionally ends science in the United States.

Leftist spoilers polling under 10% are simply addicted to believing they can manifest change out of thin air

This moment requires a proportionate response and any timid centrist pushing this poll-focused, triangulating, bipartisan pablum needs to be put out to pasture. Go big or go home.
