Just finished a rewatch of the first 2 seasons of Foundation. It’s hard to believe the novels the series is based on were written in the 1950s. The series feels as relevant to our current times as Andor did IMO. Especially regarding authoritarianism, AI & technology. I’m reading the 1st novel now!

👆This thread from Senator Whitehouse regarding the Supreme Court is worthwhile reading. And you must admit, as a presidential candidate, he certainly has the perfect name! ⚖️💰🏛️🗽

Foundation Season 3 begins today on Apple TV. One of the best series they have produced IMO. I highly recommend it.👍🪐🌜🌝🌛⚡️

Sheldon Whitehouse on X: "What's up with Justice Jackson? She started making her mark and speaking out early, and some of her dissents are so pointed Kagan and Sotomayor don’t even join them. The far right is out for her, and even Republican justices are getting snarky. So what's up? Here’s my take 🧵" / X What's up with Justice Jackson?

I often wonder why nobody ever talks about Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse as a Presidential candidate. I fully support his key issues, which are reversing Citizens United, ethics reform for the Supreme Court & going after corporate pollution.

By remaking CDC’s vaccine advisory panel, RFK Jr. is destroying public trust Eliminating ACIP’s expertise on the eve of critical votes about flu and RSV vaccines will delay guidance, confuse clinicians, and cost lives.

Public trust in vaccines is built on facts, honest & transparent communication, and steady expertise. Replacing ACIP’s scientists with outspoken skeptics does the opposite.

I explain why in my new @statnews.com op-ed: www.statnews.com/2025/06/11/r...

Jake Scott, MD on X: "RFK Jr. went on national TV and spouted egregious, dangerous falsehoods about vaccines. As a parent and infectious diseases doctor, I couldn't stay silent. @FoxNews might not fact-check him, but I will. I've reviewed the trials. I've catalogued them. I have receipts. 🧵" / X RFK Jr. went on national TV and spouted egregious, dangerous falsehoods about vaccines.

RFK, Jr. is on television spreading more falsehoods about vaccines. I’m so tired of this harmful information actually being spread by our government. I really hope they actually fund the development of a flu shot this year. x.com/jakescottmd/...

This is a fun little scene from one of the No Kings events! 🇺🇸😂 youtu.be/jhBaJpzAR2k?...

Just listened to this great cross generational discussion with @RickWilson and @OliviaJulianna about today’s events.

Truly!🇺🇸

If you're heading to a protest tomorrow, it's important to know your rights. Consult this information from the ACLU.

Be peaceful. Be safe. Be careful. Be strong.

I don’t typically post images like this one. But I just couldn’t pass this one by. We need to find a few ways to keep laughing right now.😂😂😂

MAGA is eating up. This is the hate they voted for. ICE is the New Gestapo

This is truly frightening! I can’t believe that they are going around masked and refusing to identify themselves. I’m not a lawyer, but isn’t this illegal? I don’t know why this isn’t before the courts right now.

Pretty ironic, eh? They had some members of a military choir singing one of the protest songs from this musical at the White House a couple of months ago. People were commenting on the irony at that time as well.🇺🇸😁

An image of George Washington with the blue field of the American flag acting as a background. The text "GONDOR HAS NO KING, GONDOR NEEDS NO KING" is in the foreground. (Of course, George Washington did not say that, it's a line from Boromir in Lord of the Rings - who was wrong in stating this, because the fictional kingdom of Gondor did have a King in Aragorn, but this is meant as a joke! Also, George Washington implies the downfall of kings, so this line tracks well with him. I can't believe I once had to explain that.)

It will make me so happy if it pours! But I thought that the government could control the weather?🤷‍♀️

Just watched a limited series based on a novel, starring Ewan McGregor. It is called A Gentleman in Moscow & is set in the early Soviet Union. I really enjoyed it and plan on listening to the audiobook. Seems like I’m watching a lot of media about fascist regimes lately!

YouTube video by Heather Cox Richardson What Happened Today Was a Really Big Deal

Historian Heather Cox Richardson has an excellent video about what happened to the California Senator the other day. But even more importantly, what the implications were of what Sec. Kristy Noem was saying at that press conference. Please listen if you can.👇🇺🇸 youtu.be/dJrTQvMYRTM?...

***I know there is so much going on right now, but this is a really important thread to read and follow up on if you can. Especially if you are concerned about the cuts in medical and scientific research that is currently taking place. 👇🇺🇸

Large peaceful protest from over the weekend. What doesnt get views on the news is what's actually happening in the majority of places. Peaceful protests that the local police are more than happy to keep safe while occuring.

This is what Mayor Karen Bass is calling for to continue.

There is no way that you could even begin to claim that this was not on purpose!🇺🇸

Is this just kind of like repeat it until you believe it yourself? Your boss pardoned everyone who assaulted law enforcement on January 6th. Ass!!!

Completely true! Stephen Miller is an example of the worst of America. Especially when you consider that his family fled Eastern Europe because of a pogram that killed some of ancestors. He would say that the difference is that they came here legally. But immigration laws were different than.🇺🇸

The Administration makes a habit of calling everybody who doesn’t agree with them completely by derogatory names all the time. But if you say anything nasty about them, then you are considered to be well out of line. We are definitely treading dangerous waters.😤

Well done, Terry Moran. History will remember him well.

YouTube video by Jason Jay Smart Ukraine Just Proved Putin Can’t Protect Russia

⚡⚡⚡For 25 years, Vladimir Putin promised to protect Russia.

That myth just collapsed.

Ukraine’s drone strikes exposed Russia’s weakness, triggering panic in major cities.

This may be the beginning of Putin’s downfall.

The federal government is sowing chaos so they can have an excuse to escalate.

That is not the way any civilized country behaves.

As the federal government conducts chaotic immigration sweeps across the country, the state is deploying additional CHP to maintain safety on Los Angeles highways to keep the peace.

It's not their job to assist in federal immigration enforcement.
