About that christian nationalism ..

You do know that it was the 1st amendment, not Jimmy Kimmel per se, that got everyone’s attention. Right? But we damn sure must protest the madman’s military takeover of our cities.

If you voted for him, you've done this.

Trickle-down economics was always a sham.

Nothing has ever trickled down.

Brendan Carr, Un-American Weasel When Americans fail America

“Carr should be mocked mercilessly, the same way all bad actors/apparatchiks should be resisted who are trying to inflict their repressive ways on others by force. Mocking such people isn’t just our Constitutional right, but our moral duty.”

Jimmy is a class act. I didn’t always think that when he did the man show, but he’s matured into a thoughtful man and a great entertainer/comedian. A first rate example of America at its best.

Let’s hope the judge throws the case out.

What does it mean to be a physicist right now? The scientific enterprise is under attack. Being a physicist means speaking out for it.

“Shut up and calculate”? Not a chance.🔭🧪

President of the @apsphysics.bsky.social in @physicstoday.bsky.social reminds us that physicists are not just scientists; we are citizens, educators, & truth-tellers.

So, no, Laura Ingraham, we also won't just "shut up and dribble."

Trump’s UN Address Was a Tragedy of Shakespearian Proportions Of course, the president’s main messages today were ones of irrationality and instability, so who knows what the plot points and soliloquies will be tomorrow or next week.

Here are further thoughts of mine on this subject: www.thedailybeast.com/trumps-un-ad...

There’s no link between Tylenol and autism… but there is a link between Trump and the Epstein files.

Hundreds of Alligator Alcatraz detainees drop off the grid after leaving site As of the end of August, the whereabouts of two-thirds of more than 1,800 men detained at Alligator Alcatraz during the month of July could not be determined by the Miami Herald.

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

I understand this is clever and necessary resistance, but I feel sorry for the National Guard. This is not what they signed up for.

Spain has imposed 9 sanctions on Israel for committing mass murder and starving people:

"There is a difference between defending your country and bombing hospitals or starving innocent children. This is not self-defence. It is the extermination of a defenceless people."

Maybe repeating this but I really like this guy

Elizabeth Warren on people who say Dems needs to tone down their rhetoric: "Oh, please. Why don't you start with the president of the United States? And every ugly meme he's posted and every ugly word."

The fact that Matthew Dowd lost his job for pointing out Charlie Kirk’s hate speech, while Brian Kilmeade openly suggests we should euthanize the homeless and there is zero outrage, shows exactly what is terribly wrong with today’s political mainstream media.

“We got him!”

Really? That’s the line?

His father turned him in.

You received him.

The assassination of Charlie Kirk is horrifying AND now no one is talking about Epstein.

There are violent extremists on the left but they are not in charge of the party. You can find them on social media, not in the halls of power.

The violent extremists on the right are in congress, on courts, and sitting in the Oval Office.

Ha!

It is possible to hold both of these things true at the same time:

1) political violence is never an appropriate choice in a civilized society

2) Charlie Kirk’s dream is to create exactly the kind of society he currently lives in, as spoken from his own mouth
