This is moving.

Kamala Harris feels the pain we feel. Not just from her loss, but from the trauma and abuse our country is living through.

What could have been…

A cute baby elephant

Elephants are born weighing 250 lbs. They are the biggest babies on earth except for motorists when they see a bike lane

I Used AI to Make a Video That Sucks I used AI to make a video that sucks. It is bad. It is boring. But I made it in under an hour. And now it is my entire personality. To some, my AI-...

"In the future, I will replace all the cooked industries. I will make videos that suck and books that suck and art that sucks and virtual girlfriends that suck and private business coaching sessions that suck even more."

All the things we do are small (but vital!) things, especially when they're prefiguring the world we want, not the world the corrupt and cruel desire to inflict upon us.

Every word and bit of action that rebukes that is manifesting something better.

Energy bill could cost North Carolina billions in lost investments… As lawmakers decide whether to override the governor’s veto of SB 266, new research estimates the massive economic toll of the legislation.

If anti-climate politicians move ahead to weaken NC’s climate goals, the state will lose more than 50,000 jobs per year and at least $47.2 billion to build new power plants.

We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again: these are not just numbers, there are the livelihoods of working families.

E OFFICIAL STATEMENT Government of Heard Island Office of the Prime Minister To the White House, The Government of Heard Island acknowledges receipt of your so-called "tariff ultimatum," issued under the pretentious pretense of economic strategy. This is not a negotiation. This is not a plea. This is not a request for exemption from your performative trade tantrums. This is the final frostbitten word from a sovereign Antarctic territory that refuses to be economically colonized by a reality TV reject. Flip off, you block-headed kiddiediddlers. Respectfully disinterested, PM Tuxley Prime Minister of Heard Island

JUST IN: Heard Island Government responds before the midnight Tariff deadline with what can only be described as ice cold diplomacy. @cnn.com @msnbc.com @foxnews.com.web.brid.gy @nbcnews.com @theguardian.com @australia.theguardian.com @bbcbreaking-bot.bsky.social @us.theguardian.com @theonion.com

Don't know, but we certainly pay for it.

The Business And Economic Case For Academic Freedom Academic freedom fuels U.S. innovation and economic growth. Political interference risks undermining our universities—and America's global competitive edge.

This is a spectacular piece by Ian Simmons on why business and industry should be all in for academic freedom.

Goldman: "They are totally skewing this notion of transparency. Transparency would be to release the files with the victim information redacted. They've already done that. FBI agents have spent thousands and thousands of hours doing that. They are ready to be released if they want them released."

WATCH: “In video captured by the Tennessee Holler…”

On @msnbc, @eriellereshef plays our video of @brotherjones.bsky.social getting banned from @GovBillLee’s Teslas-only tunnel announcement — even though it was a state event, in his own district.

Trump can try and erase history but he'll always be a twice impeached corrupt piece of shit

we gotta have hope!

This was recorded in a parallel universe where Fox Business exists but batteries do not.

kinda like AmeriCorps, which was recently gutted by this regime.

Please pay attention.👇

We cannot afford to leave our democracy in the hands of a process that requires this DOJ to act in good faith. We must act now to harden our election systems. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/what...

The Treasury Secretary is talking about privatizing Social Security.

We can’t let him. As a co-sponsor of legislation that expands Social Security, calling on Republicans to do the right thing.

Abrupt Pause, Unpause of Grants Doesn’t End NIH Funding Woe As senators object to President Trump’s proposal to gut the National Institutes of Health’s budget for next fiscal year, questions linger over what’s happening with the money it’s currently supposed t...

“[the reported freeze] just reinforced the current mood among researchers.”

AAAS’ Joanne Carney, spoke to @insidehighered.com on the impact of slowing NIH grant disbursement with the end of the fiscal year near & little to no time to spend appropriated funds: www.insidehighered.com/news/governm...

How many more years are we going to see people say “everyone thought I was overreacting, but…” stories?

Wall Street Journal headline and deck: "New York Shooting Puts Mamdani on the Spot Over Policing Views: The killing of four people in a Midtown office building rattled a city where mass attacks are rare and violent crime has declined."

It's really weird to demand accountability from a NYC mayoral candidate for a deadly NYC shooting rather than the current NYC mayor, an ex-cop who campaigned on a "tough on crime" platform and promptly got indicted for crimes

How Trump-Vetted Scientists Are Trying to Shred the Climate Consensus A new report commissioned by the Energy Department downplays global warming as the administration seeks to unwind environmental rules.

Lee Zeldin said repealing the endangerment finding would “end $1 trillion or more in hidden taxes on American businesses and families.” But the government's own research shows climate-fueled extreme weather is *already* causing $150 billion annually in losses for the US

Newsblur has a great free tier.

Millions of working people trusted Trump to make groceries, housing and healthcare more affordable. But by slashing the programs so many depend on and allowing prices to rise, he's betraying voters & the polling shows it. www.msnbc.com/the-last-wor...

"Use-of-force experts and former Immigration and Customs Enforcement insiders say the tactic was rarely used during previous administrations. They say there is no known policy change greenlighting agents’ smashing of windows. Rather, it’s a part of a broader shattering of norms."

The Boy Genius Who Killed 14 Million Poor People What is the moral weight of responsibility for the men who carried out DOGE’s work?

NEW: "Look at DOGE and you don’t see an elite strike force that was needed to figure out how to execute an intricate, novel task. You see a bunch of privileged elites who were granted the honor of unthinkingly mashing the delete button as part of the reward system in their clique."

A US DOE report argues the economic harm caused by trying to reduce greenhouse gases is greater than the consequences of climate change itself. It could be used to underpin US President Donald Trump's plans to stop regulating greenhouse gases. @bloomberg.com www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
