On Jack Smith deposition, now released: 100% obvious why GOP refused to allow this as open testimony, aired live. It's damning. Testimony from John Dean or Alex ("wiretaps") Butterfield in Watergate days would have 1/10th the impact if just in print. What Smith says is far more incriminating.

Blocking trans kids from care is evil. Its not 'caring'. Its not 'being a concerned parent'. Its evil. Its staring someone who is telling your their truth in the eye and saying truth means nothing, and your ignorance means more. Trans kids want to live. Deny them, and you want the opposite.

cis people on the skyline are genuinely more distressed by karoline leavitt’s lip fillers than the fact that congress just said, “what we should do is put any doctor or pharmacist in prison who gives lifesaving medical care to this specific kind of child we find gross.”

Do remember, when we feel worn down and frustrated, and upset Racists are deeply, deeply, deeply stupid people. Every one of their arguments could be beaten by a five year old. Let's put pity aside. Let's just hope these folks get logicked into realising their idiocracy. #Racist #StarTrek

Trump, Clinton, ex-Prince Andrew, Woody Allen, William Burns (CIA director under Biden), Leon Black (son in Trump admn), Bill Gates’ Foundation CEO, and leaders of UAE, Mongolia, Norway/EU/Nobel Prize (same guy) are all mentioned by the Epstein emails released today. They should all be in jail.

I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro’s great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is… the white moderate, who is more devoted to “order” than to justice… who constantly says: “I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods…” ~ MLK Jr.

To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public. - Teddy Roosevelt

America stands for freedom. The most fundamental of which is free speech. Old Glory loses all meaning when used to suppress dissent. As an American, I have to speak out. The flag is just a symbol. Our freedom is what’s important. Trump’s order criminalizing flag burning is thus anti-American.

Republicans are spending more than $15,000/undocumented alien to round them up. Even just making them citizens, like Regean did, would increase revenue and reduce crime. Modern Republicans don’t actually care about costs or crime but someone to hate.

🚨BREAKING: 300+ NIH employees call out the harm of censorship & politicized science in scathing email to Bhattacharya, demanding an end to political interference, a lift on funding freezes, & rehiring of fired staff whose work saves lives. This is historic - insiders are blowing the whistle. 🧵(1/5)

“No court of the United States may use appropriated funds to enforce a contempt citation for failure to comply with an injunction or temporary restraining order if no security was given when the injunction or order was issued….” Translated: No federal court may enforce a contempt citation."

Yesterday marked 20 years doing Jiu Jitsu for myself. I love this sport and those I train with!

Jiu-jitsu is good for the soul.

I support Kilmar Abrego Garcia to receive due process rather than be dehumanized in the concentration camp in El Salvador. I support Malmoud Khalil and Rümeysa Öztürk for exercising their Freedom of Speech and their right to stay in the US. They are not terrorists. I am not one for supporting them.

Only an idiot fights a war on two fronts. Only the heir to the throne of the Kingdom of Idiots would fight a war on 187 fronts!

Trump's 3/27 executive order targets the Smithsonian for advancing "the view that race is not a biological reality but a social construct." Trump argues that the exhibit's statement, below, is unscientific. He's wrong. As a biology professor and population geneticist, I agree with every word of it.

The United States is turning into Cardassia, where people are being jumped for free speech critical of the administration. This is tyrannical!!!

Most people have horrible takes on depression. I’ve heard that it’s not real; that you can snap out of it; that people are slaves to their circumstances; that money brings happiness; that prescription pills are cure-alls; that they’re scams; or that illicit drugs can treat depression. 👎🙅‍♂️🤦

I have a #giveaway I’d like to do. This is the paint master for the QMX Franklin, Eblanworx did back in the day, signed by John himself. Comment with ur fav non Enterprise Starfleet ship to enter. Will pick winner from comments after this post gets 100 likes. RT to spread the message on subspace

The President ordered the arrest of Mahmoud Khalil for exercising his freedom of speech, and he threatened others for the same. Even if you don't agree with his stance, this arrest is an affront to everything America stands for!!!

I cut open this USB Type-C cable from an SSD. The +voltage & ground wires power the device. Fast Superspeed wires are thicker than slower USB 2.0 wires. Data wires are twisted to cancel out interference. The grounded bare copper wires & foil shield also mitigate interference & parasitic reactance.

It took seeing adult bullies to understand that my childhood bullies didn’t even really want to hurt me, they just wanted to feel powerful and how I felt about it wasn’t even in the equation. I can’t imagine someone not outgrowing that, but apparently it happens quite a lot!
