Congratulations, people of planet Earth! We've done it! We've reached an irreversible tipping point: 99% of ALL CORAL WILL DIE. Period. Even if we fix everything, there's no turning back for the Coral.

Think about what that means, forest for the trees.

Everyone, if you haven't yet, watch the archival footage of Fred Rogers procuring funding for PBS from Congress.

You mean my degrees are actually useful?! Yesssss!

English and Sociocultural Anthropology for the win!

Y'all, I might die.

I dropped a sliver of chocolate on my phone. I licked it off. Idk why, bc my phone is definitely germ city (didn't sanitize it after work) and now I'm going to die.

Also, I wiped the chocolate off my tongue.

I'm going to die, now.

Spl-hoooooo-sh!

"socialism doesn't work" mmm ok but let's just try a little bit of it, and if we don't like it, we don't have to eat the rest of the rich

Oh, look, a brown shirt.

Being hated worked for Just Stop Oil Public anger is not a threat to activism, but a measure of its impact.

This continues to be the biggest story in the country: DOGE has already squandered half a trillion dollars in 6 weeks. Not billion. half a trillion, $500 billion talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/irs-p...

Columbia political science professor & scholar of post-soviet policy Tim Frye speaking out today as the rain fell at Columbia AAUP’s press conference in response to Columbia’s shocking surrender to the Trump administration’s threats to defund.

The coolest thing I’ve seen today is that a bunch of volunteer public health professionals and developers have restored the CDC website from before January 20th 2025.

This differs from an archive in that they want to rebuild the links between pages and replicate the full website.

Pressing question: feet go INTO socks OR socks go ONTO feet?

Selection of German headlines this morning:

“It’s now the law of the jungle”

“The former leading power of the West can no longer be relied upon.”

“Now it's up to the Europeans”

“The worst case is now the new normal”

“The free world needs a new leader”

Words mean little, actions say it all.

So, a governor said some things and might run for potus if we still exist in 2028. Frankly, it's asinine to be settling in for next time, rather THAN DOING SOMETHING NOW.

Well, duh, obvi.

On Friday night, the Trump administration declared war on American universities and hospitals. You've probably heard why this matters for medical researchers funded by the NIH. But it also matters for everyone who has any connection to our universities—employees, students, and patients. (1/6)

The calm, unrelenting, industrial, yet not mechanical, movement of Kendrick Lamar's half-time show...it's a visual guide to what's required of us to #diss and #resist #fascism.

I'm #resisting by being my full, feral nonbinary biracial queer autistic self. I will be TOO MUCH. I will never back down.

We the People Reject Project 2025

50 protests in 50 states, today! Just found out about it two hours ago.

Who's going?

I live in the Twin Cities area. Protest starts at St. Paul Technical College and marches to the Capitol.

Of course, I forgot a letter in #civildisobedience!

I'm ignoring 4/15/25. I know they already have my money from payroll taxes, but not jumping through hoops to pay them more. And I doubt anybody but the rich will get refunds, ever again.

OK...and? What are you doing, besides posting, here?

I'm thinking since DOGE thieves have actually taken control of the system that pays out pretty much anything tax derived, it's time to #resist and #fightback by committing an act of #civildisobeience:
Ignore April 15, 2025.

If you sputter excuses...you're a selfish coward. Period.

All it takes for evil to win...
