Oh no I really hope Bill Clinton isn’t in the Epstein files, I’ll have to get rid of my Bill Clinton hat and my Bill Clinton sneakers and my Bill Clinton cologne and my Bill Clinton watch and take down my Bill Clinton flag and I’ll have to delete my Bill Clinton nft trading cards

I don't believe anyone should have to be brave to ride a bicycle.

Awwwe, my kid was TERRIFIED of the looney at that age.

A little math about that prison camp in Florida. $450 million per year for 3,000 people is $150,000/person per year.

The cost for one person receiving SNAP for one year is $2256, yet they're telling us that's too expensive.

The 14th Amendment was ratified on this day in 1868. It guarantees:

✔️ due process for all
✔️ birthright citizenship
✔️ equal protection under the law

Now more than ever, we're determined to protect these essential rights.

Here is a neurodivergence-informed guide to calling your political reps. Use it to demand that your reps oppose the Big "Beautiful" Bill that will take money away from vital services, to fund American secret police, billionaires, & privately owned prisons.

Socialism is what they called public power.

Socialism is what they called social security. 
 
Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.
 
Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

Iran Worried U.S. Might Be Building 8,500th Nuclear Weapon TEHRAN—Amidst mounting geopolitical tensions, Iranian officials said Wednesday they were increasingly concerned about the United States of America’s uranium-enrichment program, fearing the Western nation may soon be capable of producing its 8,500th nuclear weapon. "Our intelligence estimates indicate that, if it is allowed to progress with its aggressive nuclear program, the United States may soon possess its 8,500th atomic weapon capable of reaching Iran," said Iranian foreign minister Ali Akbar Salehi, adding that Americans have the fuel, the facilities, and "everything they need" to manufacture even more weapons-grade fissile material. "Obviously, the prospect of this happening is very distressing to Iran and all countries like Iran. After all, the United States is a volatile nation that’s proven it needs little provocation to attack anyone anywhere in the world whom it perceives to be a threat." Iranian intelligence experts also warned of the very real, and very frightening, possibility of the U.S. providing weapons and resources to a rogue third-party state such as Israel.

“no kings, all bricks” Full text of the poem that KTM/Guante shared at the St. Paul No Kings protest on June 14, 2025.

Since people were asking about the words I shared today at the no kings protest, here's the full text. Thanks @indivistwincities.bsky.social and @mn50501.bsky.social.

Wrote it last week, but because it ended up being about how we carry grief and what we might do with it, it felt appropriate:

“A deranged maniac impersonated a police officer and killed lawmakers but if you’re an immigrant be sure you immediately comply with plain clothes people who won’t identify themselves telling you to get in a van”, what a fuckin country

MN state capital surrounded with protesters

Hard day in MN, but we still showed up #NoKings

True story bro.

When Obama and Biden won, Republicans said “fuck them, we’ll break them” and went on to rally their base. When Republicans win, Democrats blame their left and say “we’ll work with Republicans.” And it fucking sucks.

This truth is ice cold.

'We Need Calls Now!' Republicans Slip Nonprofit Killer Bill Into Tax Package | Common Dreams House Republicans on Monday quietly revived a proposal that would grant the Trump administration broad authority to crush nonprofits it views as part of the political opposition.

"The House is about to hand the Trump administration the ability to strip nonprofits of their 501(c)3 status without any reason or recourse. This is a five-alarm fire." www.commondreams.org/news/nonprof...

If you’re worried about how much it costs America to make pennies, you should see what it costs us to make billionaires.

I know I'm sharing to mainly other scientists, but please reshare this with others who aren't scientists so more people know what's at stake.
