Suicidal for centrists to be begging for moderation when now would be a great time to pass some big, ambitious policies and remind people why Democrats are better than Republicans.

As many have pointed out, Mamdani didn't stand apart from our trans brothers and sisters. He didn't play the "Gee, gosh, it sure is complicated," milquetoast moderate card. And he crushed.

The way forward is together, not over the bodies of our own.

I wanted to offer some thoughts on the Gates climate memo that has been circulating this week. While I can't directly speak for others, I can say that my own response is one of dismay & deep frustration (and that this view is shared by many climate/Earth scientists). [1/n]

y’all I’m going to be real, the workers at the biggest music venues in DC are trying to unionize

This is what democracy looks like. #NoKings

The city was filled with proud patriots who don’t stand with tyrants today

More #protestjoy today from #NoKings in DC!

It was a beautiful day to shout #nokings and man did DC show up! THIS makes me proud to be an American!

In this video, Andrews points out something important. When people think of Christians, they tend to think of the Christian nationalists who cheer on Trump's evil. That makes non-evil Christians like Andrews furious. Others should feel that way too.

Protein powders aren’t poisoning you, but we need supplement regulation.

I wrote an article on the lead in protein powder headlines, actual science (spoiler: it ain’t prop 65 & consumer reports)

and what we should be discussing about supplements:

Greg Bovino, Kristi Noem, and DHS need to answer for their unchecked attacks on Chicago residents.

ICE is an out-of-control danger to our peaceful communities.

The images from the Sun-Times today speak for themselves.

There must be some mistake, I read 50 Atlantic articles about how RFK Jr just wants to help Americans eat more vegetables

an affirmative case for trans rights as a pillar of good democratic governance

Dawwww big hugs to you both! Looks like an amazing adventure!

Pew Survey: Only 31% Of Trans People Report Being Accepted By Their Parents The survey comes as transgender people experience a legal assault from the far-right in the United States.

1. In a devastating new Pew Research Survey, only 3 in 10 transgender adults report being accepted by their parents.

And only 1 in 10 say they are accepted by their extended family.

This is the lowest number ever found in surveys asking similar questions.

There is a *lot* going on in Congress at the moment but incidents like this are why H.R. 5143, which would undo DC's high-speed chase law, is so dangerous, inappropriate, and needs to be stopped. www.congress.gov/bill/119th-c... (3/3)

OpenAI employees are very excited about how well their new AI tool can create fake videos of people doing crimes and have definitely thought through all the implications of this

A LOT of professors are silent on this. Well, know that unless you fight this, the war machine will eat you alive, too. Tenure won’t save you. Even whiteness won’t save you. No one is free until Palestine is free. Zionism & the US colonial war machine will eat the earth until stopped.

No sé si lo estará haciendo bien o mal (bien) pero Sánchez está empezando a ser un referente en una gran parte de Europa.

Washington, D.C. — Today, Ezra Levin, Indivisible’s co-founder and co-executive director, released the following statement on Indivisible’s campaign to boycott and protest Disney and ABC following the firing of Jimmy Kimmel: “Bob Iger apparently never watched Andor. He should binge watch it this weekend, look deep within his soul, and reverse course – or resign in disgrace as CEO of Disney. Until then, Indivisible is organizing to save this beloved American company from disgrace, and to protect our constitutional rights that Iger is so willing to sacrifice. “Iger’s cowardice is bad for Disney and bad for democracy. There was a time when Disney was on the side of democracy, producing some of the most memorable anti-fascist cartoons of the 1940s to help us win the war. But eighty years later, Iger is tarnishing a great American company’s reputation with his cowardly capitulation to Trump’s goons. Rather than stand up for free speech, he’s falling over to help an unpopular president squash dissent and trample our rights. Shame, Bob, shame.

I felt pretty darn good about this press release on Iger and Disney. indivisible.org/statements/i...
