Nobody is coming to save us.

But I look at us. We are enough.

Definitely true of my Gen Z kids and their friends. They are really sick of anything redpilled

Nature is healing—you can still get ratioed for bad takes about food!

if the president does something so awful it would be indecent to describe and ask about then you very obviously need to describe and ask about it, thats the entire job

as far as just messaging goes that video is probably the most embarrassing thing any president has done on the world stage in my life

and the fact that the sunday shows wont even describe it? total abdication of their responsibility

How one would expect the biggest national protest since to be covered

I’m confused because Moulton is well to Markey’s right? Can you elaborate?

[Exit King.]

Wow, sounds like a real basket of deplorables!

JD Vance brushes off racist texts by adults in Republican group chat as ‘what kids do’ Vice-president downplays messages such as ‘I love Hitler’ in chat by 24 to 35-year-olds to ‘stupid jokes’

For those of you keeping score, 18-22 year-old students calling for an end to slaughter in Gaza are so racist they need to be expelled or deported, but 24-35 year-olds celebrating Hitler, rape, and, um, racism are just kids being kids so chill.

Also, racism is over so no need for Voting Right Act.

Feeling less free for some reason

Remember, brown 13-year-olds are hardened menaces to society, but 30-something Republican Hitler afficionados in positions of power are just li’l guys.

Let's have a serious conversation. When the youth wing of a major American political party is caught saying they "love Hitler" and want to send opponents to "gas chambers," what is the absolute minimum acceptable response from that party's leader?

Our public money to support research at our universities is mandated by our Congress.

It is not the personal slush fund of the president, to withhold at will or dole out as largesse, rewarding those who please him.

Those who seek reform of universities can use laws, not arbitrary extortion.

Go UMass!

I have just joined Swanson’s Stash Box here in western Mass—a creative textile reuse center with workshops on sewing, mending, rag rug making. It’s such a hopeful place and community

THIS IS FROM THE 70’S

I think it would be a huge public service if major media outlets interviewed people given RIF notices and let them explain in detail what their jobs are so that people can judge for themselves whether these positions are wasteful like Trump and Vought claim or whether they help the country prosper.

Honestly, the thought that one of the richest, most powerful men in the world can’t sleep at night because there’s a girl (now young woman) who reads climate science and speaks her truth is a truly remarkable thing.

Frog and Toad looked into a mirror.

“We look brave,” said Frog.

“Yes, but are we?” asked Toad.

So does this mean we will now be paid to take medicines?

Today my @nytimes.com colleagues and I are launching a new series called Lost Science. We interview US scientists who can no longer discover something new about our world, thanks to this year‘s cuts. Here is my first interview with a scientist who studied bees and fires. Gift link: nyti.ms/3IWXbiE

That Winchell’s sign is so nostalgic

Saul Alinsky for the win!

Government shutdowns are dumb. The way funding works is a policy choice, not inherent to the Constitution. Congress could pass a law today that automatically authorizes spending in perpetuity at the levels of the most recent appropriations bill. This is how other countries do it!

Also, wouldn’t this lead to people dying from lack of treatment because they looked or sounded like an undocumented immigrant? Kavenaugh casualties!

imo we shouldn’t burn fossil fuels in our homes

It’s almost as if federal contracts only bind one side of the agreement. I keep waiting for the defense of basic contract law!

It is sort of mind boggling how the science news of the last year or so has been software engineers saying “we’ve upgraded the torment nexus that might tear apart society to be 10% more efficient” while bio/pharma has been “we’re about to cure this disease that has plagued humanity for millenial
