Sunny Hostin to Cheryl Hines: "The problem is that your husband is the least qualified HHS head that we've had in history. I think that's very dangerous. He has spread a lot of misinformation, chaos, and confusion."

MYTH: The President “brandished” an assault rifle. FACT: Semi-automatic rifles like the Colt AR-15 are not assault rifles; they do not have burst or fully automatic firing capabilities.

This shows more awareness than the major media companies reports.

If a Democratic governor talks about punching people in the mouth, he is obviously filled with insatiable bloodlust. If a Republican president talks about punching people in the mouth, you’re the violent one for thinking he was being serious.

this needs to be hammered into the skulls of every elite individual and institution on every measure - reputationally, financially, morally - you come out better if you fight the guy stand up! it’s the right thing to do and better for you in every way! how often does that happen?

I liked him in so many roles, but the one that always sticks in my mind is as demolition "expert" Edgar KB Montrose on The Red Green Show.

This new frontier for antivaxxers is ludicrous. Not vaccination your pets is a path to lunacy.

This is one of the most beautiful things I have witnessed, the craft here is impeccable.

Carpe noctum, carpe vitus, carpe cerivici, nullus anxietas.

"The Twentieth century gave the human race its score card. Kardashev and Dyson made concrete the notion of type one, type two and type three civilizations..." 1/n

It's a combination of cowardice and a failure of imagination - oh, he wouldn't REALLY do that

The regressive stands on no principle — merely wears them as masks as the moment suits them.

Another installment of "every accusation is a confession." This one is a doozy. I remember the far-right losing their minds over their belief that Democratic presidents were doing this. I think at this point we can just assume they're going to do everything they ever accused others of.

You can tell somebody is really working through some feelings when they open their notes app to compose a text message

This is terrifying.

It's certainly not how I thought we'd get to this point.

Proposed NOAA budget zeros out ALL climate laboratories and cooperative institutions. GFDL, NSSL, GML, etc. This appears to also end the US greenhouse gas sampling network, including at Mauna Loa, the oldest continuous carbon dioxide monitoring site on Earth. www.commerce.gov/sites/defaul...

Masked federal agents handcuffed and detained yet another Democratic lawmaker, this time in New York City.

that about sums up how I’ve been feeling for the past decade, yes.

I grew up on folk protest singers who were made toothless by time and commercialism. I had thought the genre dead until the last year or two.

Fire experts to restore public trust in something no longer being advised by experts? That's quite the argument from a man who swims in Rock Creek.

THIS!!!🔥

What did I say? They started with immigrants. Next comes citizens they consider low hanging fruit. Disabled citizens are on deck y’all. 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

It really seems like AI developers are using dystopian robotic future books as how-to manuals instead of warnings.

The Michigan woods are full of growing fauna and also edible fungi. The first two are pheasant back mushrooms (also known as driad's saddle). These past the point for eating, but their size is almost unearthly. It's seriously something out of a movie. The others (golden oyster) are peak.

the revealed position of the republican party is that it thinks broad expansion of higher education — and especially its expansion for certain americans — was a mistake that must be rolled back

I could see this paying off, especially as a counter to conservative control of rural radio and newspapers.

I might do a Get Ready With Me makeup tutorial with smearing ashes on my face and body

Is it possible to surgically remove despair? Asking for all of humanity.

I did jot expect concise commentary from Beyond Meat.

OMGWTFBBQ!? I'm not even surprised. Best case scenario is that this takes energy away from dismantling the country.

Marjorie Taylor Greene having a frenzied gavel tantrum when called out for using a doctored photo to smear a witness. Her frustration in the face of inconvenient truth is delightful.

This is fire. This is what people need to hear since they've somehow been convinced that laws for the rich will somehow benefit them.

I keep waiting for the NY Times to go back to those Midwest small town diners to see what those people have to say now. Also, shouldn't they now spend the next 4 years only interviewing people who hate Republicans?

“No one[*] is above the law.” [*] See the Republican Party for details, conditions may apply. Void when inconvenient. Inquire about the purchase of partisan pardons using cryptocurrency or flattery.

Just asking questions.

It's as bad as we thought but worse than we could possibly have imagined.

"A precedent has been set. Every international student in America today must accept that they may be abducted, detained and deported for attending a protest or expressing a view that upsets the White House or its allies." — #AJOpinion by @somdeepsen.bsky.social ⤵️

This is an absolute travesty. I'm sure Musk, Trump, and RFK Jr. will gleefully announce they've found and solved waste, fraud, and abuse but will fail to produce any receipts. It will no doubt turn out to be an utter fabrication, and the cuts are to critical research.

If Christianity really were the one true religion, surely this Satan character would use every power at his disposal to corrupt the Christian churches and turn them into vectors of evil that subverted the teachings of Christ ... Oh shit.

Send Me a Signal

The original crime is always a crime. The coverup is always a bigger crime.

This about sums up his strategy.

Indeed. Many people who can't grasp this process his actions as driven by some deep underlying strategy and cunning.

Exactly this. Sad.

By now you’ve probably seen the articles discussing all the ways in which most people have moved on from the pandemic, but when you see these please remember: most people may have moved on from the pandemic, but the virus just keeps moving on from one person to the next.

Now we know no one will save us; the halls of medicine and science have been burned down. Now we must rely on the resperators we learned about last time.
