Spread the news

these people treat being called racist like it is a slur, and treat slurs like they're mere differences of opinion

I Caught POLITICO and the New York Times Laundering Pink Slime "News" How the sexist backlash to AOC and Gretchen Whitmer at the Munich Security Conference led me to a scammy "local news" outlet pushing a coordinated right-wing narrative

Interesting post about the coordinated anti-AOC smear campaign. It's 2016 again! Fake local news outlets on Facebook getting picked up until eventually it winds up in the Washington Post.

Be safe in the storm!

The trajectory of the men’s hockey team over a blistering 12 hours

And agonizingly familiar

The way right wingers have internalized the fantasy that they are a powerless minority with the deck stacked against them when they control all three branches of government is quite something:

Glad you're okay in that storm!

Be careful of hitching rides...

Is there any time, place, or context in which a government hanging enormous banners of the Leader’s face was not a sign of a diseased and authoritarian society? Because I certainly can’t think of one.

Amtrak?

Scientists have seen Asgard archaea crawling for the first time. When it comes to the origin of eukaryotes, this is like seeing a feathered dinosaur in the wild. (Video courtesy of Philipp Ralder)

1/ The FDA just changed course and will now review Moderna’s new flu vaccine after previously refusing.

Public pressure was a factor here. Scientists, clinicians, reporters, and many others raised concerns, asked hard questions, and pushed for transparency.

Probably the best frame I've shot in at least a year, and I knew it the second I touched the shutter release.

At last we have a better name for it: The Two Big Beautiful Bidets Bill.

Do they call them "Rollo"?

And I bet you thought after losing to Vanderbilt 41-18 that there was no job he could be less qualified for.

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

ICE using the same ruse that Ted Bundy used to kidnap people should tell you something.

I (goat)SE[E] what you did there ;)

Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
Remember that time Michigan (6-5) beat Ohio State (10-1) 13-10 in Columbus with their QB going 9/16 for 62 yards, 0 TDs and 2 INTs
When the buckeyes were ranked #2?

ICE has completely broken our social contract.

They manipulate social trust and are creating lasting damage to our most basic social foundations

Man, I remember watching this technology being trialed at pyeongchang and now it’s so ubiquitous they’re using it on bloopers

ICE plans to spend $38.3 billion turning warehouses into detention centers ICE plans to spend $38.3 billion converting warehouses into detention centers, according to planning documents, more than the annual budgets of 22 states.

Imagine if even a fraction of what this administration plans to spend on cages went toward housing people.

China's Xinhua news agency has just published this editorial cartoon in response to Trump's rejection of climate policies.

It is pretty clear that China views this as a HUGE geopolitical fumble by the US leaving the field clear for China's to win the global race to clean-tech hegemony

Every day it becomes clearer that capitulation (Columbia, Perkins Coie, etc) was the wrong strategy

What a tribute to an Italian legend
