I remember the worst day for crime in Washington D.C.'s history and whose fault it was.

Pete Hegseth shares a clip saying women shouldn’t have the right to vote, the 19th Amendment should be β€œrepealed,” and women should β€œsubmit” to their husbands: β€œAll of Christ for All of Life”

Every single person in DC that is physically able to get in the streets should do so tomorrow. What he's got planned in the wake of 'Big Balls'' "attack" spells the end of your freedom.

At my last protest, a MAGA driving by said "You are all mentally ill." The latest EO does more than call for forcibly removing unhoused folks, it urges involuntary commitment of anyone deemed mentally ill and a potential threat to others. By MAGA definitions, that could be all of us. #ResistFascism

Democrats: What do we need to do to win back disillusioned voters?

Voters: Stand up to Trump and fight him like our lives depend on it.

Democrats: Alienate our base while we chase bros who will never vote for us. Got it.

Voters: That's not-

Democrats: Can you give us five dollars right now?

Save Our Signs - Photo submission A crowd-sourced photo collection of National Parks Service signs to preserve copies before they can be removed, and to document any changes that are made.

Going to a National Park or other federal site this summer? Snap photos of any signage you see to share with the Save Our Signs project. Help preserve educational material that might be disappeared and protect the hard work of NPS staff. #SaveOurSigns #Resist @altnps.bsky.social saveoursigns.org

I think the idea that β€œThe President is simultaneously an institution beyond the reach of criminal law and also a private person who can file $10 billion defamation suits when he dislikes a news article” is not very sensible.

Are you a NY based multimillionaire who had money set aside to bri...donate to Cuomo, but you are realizing he can't win? Consider donating to the Paleontological Research Institution instead.
PRI is one of the 10 largest museums in the US and would be great philanthropic opp. www.priweb.org/donate

"Why won't you debate me?" is also a common strategy in creationism and climate denial. The moment you agree to debate, you've provided them with evidence that their position is worth consideration. The debate itself doesn't matter, just the elevation of their nonsense in the eyes of spectators.

Committee gives first hint that policymakers might preserve, rather than slash, funding for US National Science Foundation and other agencies.

DO NOT GIVE UP!

Our advocacy is working.

A key Senate committee has indicated that it will reject Trump’s proposed cuts to science agencies including NASA and the NSF.

Democrats stage a science fair of canceled grants to show what’s been lost Partisan fight over Trump cuts heats up as Congress works on 2026 spending bills.

Researchers came from around the United States to showcase projects, ranging from modeling coastal hazards to teaching quantum information science, that were killed prematurely this spring by one of a half-dozen federal agencies. scim.ag/3Tv5iVC

I hoped never to see concentration camps like the ones I grew up in appear again in this country. Reading this breaks my heart.

The stark fucking contrast of how absolutely absurdly ridiculously adorable and joyful this is compared to the frothing seething parallel universe of the national media/political establishment is goddamn ridiculous.
