The Supreme Court ruled that Trump's "Liberation Day" tariffs are unconstitutional because they obviously are.
If Trump tries to impose any other tariffs, Congress needs to impeach (and convict) him forthwith.
If a President is permitted to disregard the Constitution then America is done for.

Thinking about Them! again. A perfect marriage of Atomic Horror meets the fear of the Specter of Communism.

The allegory works well as it is subtle (more subtle than Invasion of the Body Snatchers) and is based on a fun creature feature script.
Classic Americana, even if I am an Ant in disguise.

I don’t care how much I like the politician if they do something bad I’m going to harshly criticize them. That’s what you’re supposed to do.

Did the early voting thing in my state's primary today. Chose the progressive candidate when that was an option. No, I don't think we're gonna solve this mess solely through voting but given that I'm the kind of person they want to disenfranchise, it felt a nice piece of spite to vote while I can.

There is one fix: VOTE. Get some candidates in there who can defeat these politicians, judges etc who serve our rogue government.

‘They pushed so many lies about recycling’: the fight to stop big oil pumping billions more into plastics Plastic production has doubled over the last 20 years – and will likely double again. For author Beth Gardiner, metal water bottles and canvas tote bags are not the solution. So what is?

“[People in the plastics industry] are very happy for us to look at ourselves and at each other, and not look at them,” says @bethgardiner.bsky.social, author of "Plastic Inc: Big Oil, Big Money and the Plan to Trash our Future."

not to say they are doing this on purpose but the ram shortage & price spike is certainly playing into the hands of people investing billions into tech aimed at first stealing and then selling every bit of information and knowledge ever created by mankind because they hate open source and open data

I normally dont get political but today is the anniversary of my brother's murder.

You'd think after 18 years a country would've figured out how to manage a gun epidemic instead of making it worse.

Gone as long as he was alive. It shouldnt be like this.

This is a win for veterans everywhere. The fact that this was proposed in the first place was an insult to every person who has ever put on the uniform.

We will continue to hold this administration accountable to make sure our promises to those who served are kept, period.

Trump’s economy is one piece of his tyrannical agenda.

Democrats can focus on both his authoritarianism and his poor economy in the midterms.

Today I conducted an oversight visit at the Whipple building. We were required to give 7 days notice. When we arrived, ICE had moved every detainee out of the facility. They don’t want us to see what’s really going on here. I won't stop pushing to hold ICE accountable. Minnesotans deserve answers.

Don’t worry, everyone. “The Dow is at 50,000.”🙄

🚨 Credit card balances hit a record $1.28 trillion at the end of 2025, according to the New York Fed.

Analysts say unsecured consumer loans, especially among subprime borrowers, are growing fast and is projected to become a bigger source of new debt.

They’ve said women are “too emotional.”

We’ve built nations, led movements, ran companies, raised generations & still showed up stronger than ever!

A woman can do anything a man can do & then some!

We don’t just belong in the world. We Run It!

Katyal: "I was able to go to court - the son of immigrants-- & say on behalf of small businesses, 'Hey, this president is acting illegally.' I was able to present my case, have them ask really hard questions, & at the end of it they voted & we won. That is something extraordinary about this country"

A classic black-and-white portrait photograph of Nobel Prize-winning physicist Maria Goeppert Mayer, taken in a classroom or lecture setting. She stands in front of a large chalkboard filled with handwritten nuclear physics equations, nuclear mass data, and element symbols (including notations like I¹²⁹, Cr⁵², and various alpha, beta, and gamma values). Goeppert Mayer has a thoughtful, focused expression as she gazes upward slightly, with her lips pursed in concentration. She wears a patterned dress with short-sleeved matching jacket with a geometric black-and-white design, a pearl necklace, and her hair styled in soft curls. In her hands, she holds a wooden slide rule.

Theoretical physicist Maria Goeppert Mayer died #OTD in 1972.

She shared the 1963 #Nobel Prize in Physics (w/Wigner & Jensen) "for their discoveries concerning nuclear shell structure." She was the second woman to win a Nobel in #physics. (Who was the first?)

Donate to Alexis Goldstein for Maryland Alexis Goldstein is running for Congress in Maryland's 6th district because we deserve leaders who shows as much bravery as ordinary people are showing in defense of their neighbors.

My friend Alexis Goldstein is a warrior against Wall Street and oligarchy. The Trump regime fired her from the CFPB as part of their plot to gut consumer protections.

Now, she’s running for Congress. Please donate if you can.

She’s a real one!
