Met a dark, skinny newt who copped an attitude when I tried to hurry them off the risky bike path. As my mother would have said (looking pointedly at me), I’ve seen that stubborn set to the jaw somewhere before…

I read the “Save America Act,” so you don’t have to. Most of the media apparently *hasn’t* read it because, if they had, they would be sounding the alarm about the provision in Point 1, below, which almost none of them have even mentioned. I hope this summary helps raise awareness. 1/

This might be the greatest split-screen ever broadcast.

They’ll play this in museums in future.

all of senator Schiff's office phone numbers 👇🏻

the entire western US had its hottest winter on record by a significant margin and were going to subsidize driving

when thousands more die from fire and intense weather or starve from food shortages or die from exposure when the power goes out you will know whose hands the blood is on

So many average citizens have stood up to Trump.

Alex Pretti went to the street to protect his fellow humans, who the Trump regime was harming. He lost his life for it. Renee Good lost her life for resisting.

And sorry, but—these fucking cowards in the Senate can’t vote against Trump nominees?

This puts me at 10 people released. I filed my 1st habeas petition 29 days ago. I am an incredibly small-time, nobody lawyer who knew nothing about immigration law the day I submitted that case. I barely know any more today. I had never sued the federal government and now I've beaten them 10 times.

One, they wanted the content.
Two, they wanted to get rid of women and Black people.
Three, they wanted to install loyalists.

One of the lessons of the Iran war is that it was a huge mistake not to even try to put any of the Iraq war architects in prison. We shouldn’t make it again.

Nope. Anti-democratic measures by billionaire execs and their legislative lackeys are not where it’s at

If it feels like Trump appointed the most incompetent people imaginable to run the federal government, it’s because that was the plan. Bannon and the Broligarchs wanted to smash the administrative state and rebuild it in their own corrupt fascist imagine. Each department head was a wrecking ball.🧵

Don’t let mega-constellation-building billionaires steal your night sky Satellites are wonders of modern technology that have improved all of our lives. But having more than a million of them in orbit could destroy our view of the heavens and seriously damage our planet

Elon Musk has already started plans to launch a million satellites.

Yes. A MILLION.

This is a colossally bad idea, and it's not too late to make your voice heard. I explain everything:

They fund it in Gaza. They're doing it to Venezuelan fisherman. They're doing it in Iran. They're doing it in the streets and in concentration camps to immigrants in the US. They've done it to US citizen protestors on the streets in Minnesota.

There are no limits to what they are capable of.

Remember that billionaires financed the Chesa Boudin recall that resulted in her having this job.

“If you believe in bodily autonomy you have to accept vaccine deniers.”

No, I don’t.

Interesting that the fiercest defenders of Israel's "right" to occupy the land of three or four different countries at once are also of the belief that Ukrainians don't want to live under Ukrainian rule.

Bro, ICE is still here kidnapping people, now they’ve even got transit vans advertising fake companies.

to be blunt you need to develop a theory of mind that doesn't rely upon finding the first brown person who agrees with you.

ah yes, the two genders

The Iranian regime is an autocratic one that has devastated lives at home and abroad. Its people deserve so much better.

So much better does not come through illegal strikes involving a genocidal actor that drag multiple countries into conflict and kill more civilians.

👍

What the genocide in Gaza reinforced is that there are no "civilians" when it comes to Israel and the United States. The rest of the world learned the same lesson and the consequences are going to be felt across the world.

White House stalls release of approved US science budgets The US Congress rejected sweeping cuts to science agencies. But the NIH, the NSF and NASA have had their spending slowed.

Congress rejected massive cuts to US science budgets for 2026, but much of the money still isn’t flowing to researchers.

The culprit? The White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) is quietly slow-walking the release of funds. 🧵👇

People are always like what’s something you miss from the past and one of mine is antitrust laws

As of tonight, licenses of trans people across Kansas are being invalidated en masse, enabling the overnight criminalization of an entire group of people for going about our lives. It’s often said you never know when you’re living through history, so let me assure you: that’s what’s happening now.

Fellow SFers, let your supervisors know how egregious this is. We passed this as voters and a lot of work went into making it happen.

(Also read the room, fellas.)

Rainy-ish day. Moved 3 worms off the sidewalk!
