Took an unintentional break from #Science #Trivia #Saturday this summer (life, chaos, heat waves, ugh). Looking forward to getting back into things with the autumn semester, though! Send me your favorite science facts (the odder, the better), and I'll feature them throughout the school year! 🧪

Watchdog Group Downgrades U.S. From Democracy To Whatever Political System Lobsters Have

Sections of the U.S. Constitution Missing from Government Website Articles I, Sections 9 and 10 are inaccessible on Congress-run portal, raising concerns over transparency and public access.

Article I Sections 9 & 10 of the U.S. Constitution—which limit presidential power over tariffs and protect habeas corpus—have disappeared from Congress’s website. They claim a coding error is to blame.

We have done this experiment one billion times and it has worked great all one billion times.

Let that sink in for a sec.

When I was little, the U.S. military came to our home at gunpoint and took me and my family away. We were imprisoned for years in barbed wire camps simply because we were Japanese American. I have spent my life telling that story, hoping it would never be repeated.

"i asked grok" "i asked chatgpt" yeah well i asked carl sagan and he said the greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance but the illusion of knowledge 🧪

FINALLY! One article accepted, another still in review...

America is beautiful, contradictory, unfinished. I am proud of our country even as we constantly strive to make it better, to protect and deepen our democracy, to fulfill its promise for each and every person who calls it home.

Happy Independence Day. No Kings in America.

When history marks the point where we lost the future to China, this will be it.

Good morning 🫡

No one said you had to vote to pass a bad bill or along party lines if you think a bill is bad. Trump’s not a dictator yet - only we have the power to give that to him through caving & inaction (aka don’t obey in advance). Congress is the 1st line of defense and they need to start behaving like it.

For any interested, the text of the 💩 Bad, Boastful, Bananas, Bat$hit Bill can be found here:

It’s Not Just a Constitutional Crisis in the Trump Era. It’s Constitutional Failure | Washington Monthly While Trump defies constitutional norms, Congress remains conspicuously silent and the Supreme Court has abdicated its responsibility.

We’re in a Constitutional Failure, folks.

This is it. This is the best sarcastic post I've seen on Mamdani winning the democratic primary in NYC. *Anthropologist's Kiss* No notes.

Socialism is what they called public power.

Socialism is what they called social security. 
 
Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.
 
Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

—Harry Truman, 1952

illegal war started by a man constitutionally ineligible to be president

It’s a good thing Congress isn’t alive to see this

I wonder how many people realize that America is now literally at war *solely* because Trump hates black people

Obama signed the Iran Nuclear Deal; Iran stopped enrichment; Trump ended the Deal to spite Obama; he was told enrichment would restart; it did

This is *Trump’s* war

The United States should not wage war against Iran.

Donald Trump’s bombing of Iran is unconstitutional. Only Congress can declare war — and the Senate must vote immediately to prevent an another endless war.

This is a horrific war of choice.

The President's disastrous decision to bomb Iran without authorization is a grave violation of the Constitution and Congressional War Powers. He has impulsively risked launching a war that may ensnare us for generations. It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment.

AOC: “It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment.”

I'm sure this will end quickly, like when Rome attacked Persia, and the battles raged for *checks library* close to 600 years

JUNETEENTH in Harlem.

This is what America is about.

Perhaps the most American holiday of all, Juneteenth honors the very best of what this country can be. It’s a celebration of the courage to fight for freedom, even when the cost is steep.

It’s sad that the president gets angry over this

Except I did read the article so not too sure where the animosity is coming from? To quote you, “you cannot assume that.”

Freedom of speech: absolutely. Blatant white nationalism and promoting the ideology of n@zi's? Absolutely not, never again, not allowed.

Perhaps. But it's a safe enough hypothesis. Consider how Alexander Hamilton himself was likely of mixed ancestry.

Right?! I'm 10000000% certain they did a far, far better job managing the land and just generally inhabiting the space than Americans are doing today. Plus species weren't going extinct under them and their land management strategies are currently helping save endagered species in FL today sooo.....

Sending strength! For us, and for all who believe everyone has a right to exist without persecution and to do so happily.

Makes me so sad. How people cannot see the necessity and benefit of diversity, how every human deserves the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, I will never understand.

I wish there was a cry react. Or a vomit one, that would apply to Miller too.
