Whether it's Republicans flagrantly abusing Articles One and Two of the Constitution or Democrats being bad at messaging, both parties are pushing America to the brink.

🚨 🚨 NEW WHITEBOARD

A quick whiteboard explaining how the Democrats position on ACA subsidies stops a downward spiral of a spike in both costs and the number of uninsured Americans.

No wonder most Americans support our stance.

WATCH

Did you know that your healthcare premiums are about to double because the GOP is intentionally sabotaging the Affordable Care Act and pretending that Democrats are trying to give undocumented immigrants free insurance?

ICE unleashed tear gas on the street in Chicago’s Logan Square today and I tried to find meaning among the fog and my own anger about, well, everything. dansinker.com/posts/202…

The Wrecking Ball Named Russ Vought: How One Man Is Taking a Sledgehammer to Democracy How a Christian Nationalist Turned OMB Into a Weapon Against Democracy

Schedule F: the boring-sounding guillotine that could end the Republic. Russ Vought doesn’t want to “drain the swamp.” He wants to salt the earth.👇

I'm not a global, or even local politics expert. But when I figured out how to map GPS jamming a few years ago my eyes were opened to the scale of Russian hybrid warfare against the west. Usually with limited awareness or response by western governments. And it's only gotten worse since then. 1/

What the fuck do you mean I got a longer prison sentence than Diddy

There's a really great MinutePhysics video about the aesthetics- and physics-based reasons for the number of wind turbine blades: youtu.be/pgqkti7yePk

DOJ is such a fucking embarrassment.

Apart from how substantively terrible the things they've done have been, purely from a professional point of view, it's an avert-your-eyes, cringe-inducing, vicarious embarrassment nightmare.

Jane Goodall reaches out and touches a small monkey.

Jane Goodall was my first childhood hero, as I loved animals as a kid and was inspired by her story. I still remember the National Geographic specials about her. RIP.

We are entering a massive negative feedback loop that will impact the very foundations of what we used to consider the public good, all to subsidize tax cuts for wealthy elites who will never experience the pain of the loss they're imposing on the rest of us.

Impressive how one political party can control the White House, the House, the Senate, and the Supreme Court, but not bear responsibility for whether the federal government functions. Neat trick.

COLLINS: So you're telling me you're willing to vote no every time?

BERNIE SANDERS: Damn right

Sean Connery is a red strapped outfit. He's very hairy.

William Shatner as Captain Kirk. He's in a black strapped outfit and has a smooth chest.

This moment is a test. Donald Trump wants us to blink first and hand him over power.

We have too much to save to give in. Protecting the American people is too important a task for us to give up before anything even starts.

This is a fundamental point that 99% of higher-ed coverage, and 100% of immig coverage, have missed.

So exhausting..

A white woman visiting the ROOTS‑101 African American Museum was shackled in a slavery simulation and broke down in tears. The emotional reaction, captured on video, went viral as part of the museum’s immersive history exhibit.

Cruising crackdown in Penn Station bathroom puts at least 20 men in ICE custody State and city laws prohibit local police departments from turning people over to ICE. That restriction does not apply to the federally run Amtrak Police Department.

What might not occur to you upon reading this headline is that, in other words, ICE is targeting gay men of color

Every queer press org should be picking up this story

Rows of black metal racks filled with hundreds of small red SIM cards plugged into USB modem trays. Each shelf holds neat grids of these devices with antennas sticking up, all connected with cables. The setup stretches down the length of the room

This is a picture of the cellphone cache they found in NYC and holy shit. All of those little chiclets in the rack cases are SIM cards; apparently the rig could send 30 million anonymous texts per minute

I was just about finished with this cartoon when the news about Kimmel returning hit. Thanks to @davidpepperoh.bsky.social for suggesting a quick change to the last panel. (Maybe @markhamillofficial.bsky.social will get a kick out of this one.)

This is going to be in my head all day. IYKYK

That's right. What's more alarming is ~97% of the current highway storm drains in the United States were designed using rainfall information that was published in *1961* using 1930s-1950s data. We're using infrastructure built for the rainfall of nearly a century ago. engrxiv.org/preprint/vie....

How many times did I warn the return of the sepsis wards was a real threat when the illegal supreme court overturned Roe V Wade!?!?!? Like we knew this was coming and everyone said we were overreacting and needed to sit down and let the grownups speak! Well we fucking told you!

They Tried to Snuff Out Hawaii's Native Board Game. Meet the Man Keeping It Alive Kōnane was once a national pastime, played by peasants and rulers alike. Now John Kaʻohelauliʻi has made it his mission to bring it back.

Tweet from Dan Satterfield Ok, I keep getting asked about how to complain about Kimmel. The best way to complain that will have the biggest impact? See if you have a Sinclair or nexstar station in your area. 2. Watch the local newscast tonight or some time this week. 3. Note the companies that bought tv adverts. 4. Call them and let them know you will boycott them until they quit supporting that media company. Trust me. I worked in tv for 45 years. Nothing you do will have greater impact.
