Seems the Israeli military killed 27 people at a food distribution site in Gaza explaining they were shooting at some suspects and the dead were what military types call "collateral damage." One infers the value the Israeli military places on civilian Palestinian lives must be quite low indeed.

The RAGE failure behind the DOGE failure
YouTube video by Ohh that's RICH The RAGE failure behind the DOGE failure

@ohhthatsrich.bsky.social gives a breakdown of the inherently flawed authoritarianism governing approach for which those who try to propagate it lack capacity to grasp its non-viability, currently being led by "let's exterminate US citizens" tech oligarch guru #CurtisYarvin.

For more overview on #CutisYarvin the person leading #PeterThiel, #JDVance, #ElonMusk, etc. into believing American citizens should, in general, be put to death/subjected to genocide, or at least be imprisoned & tortured in concentration camps as a way to better serve a ruling class, see this vid:

These tech bros are severely mentally-ill & need to be restrained for the rest of society's health & wellness. In 2008 Yarvin wrote, "This new regime would sell off public schools, destroy universities, abolish the press, and imprison “decivilized populations.” Now we know who authored Project 2025.

Massive 'No Kings' protest expected to rain on Donald Trump's (military) parade
YouTube video by MSNBC Massive 'No Kings' protest expected to rain on Donald Trump's (military) parade

On June 14th, we'll be having a No Kings Parade in San Marcos, TX to counter Trump's vain military parade that is paid for with our tax dollars, while our healthcare and basic social services are reduced or just removed, hurting all Americans.
Watch this space for details!

In biology, I keep thinking of the bacterial strains, yeast strains, plasmids, mouse lines, worm mutants etc etc etc that will be lost to science FOREVER because the freezers and animal facilities won't be maintained

Generations of work will be lost in essentially an instant

KELLY: To be clear, the only winner in this shouting match in the Oval Office is Putin. Almost can’t believe this happened.

A thing I was explaining to a reporter this week is there is no singular definition of a "state dei ban" because each state decided to target different functions within higher education in such a way that the actual unifying thread across the policies is segregation and censorship

Why are you so surprised? NO ONE is stopping the obviously illegal & unconstitutional behavior of non-elected, not approved, no security clearance power mad Elon MUSK. Supreme Court Chief Justice John Robert’s green-lighting this UNCONSTITUTIONAL behavior, giving it a veneer of legality & normalcy.

See @colehood.bsky.social’s post about being fired from NWS… just because they could, not because of his job performance.
As someone who lives in the path of hurricanes, tornadoes, wildfires and apocalyptic freezes, I’m not exaggerating when I say people will die from these cuts to NOAA & NWS.

This is exactly as intended. Musk wants to kill off as many poor people as possible, and increase the white (male) population by all means necessary. Our world as we once knew it, as recently as Jan 19, 2025, IS GONE. We will never have free & fair elections again, and all govt money will be taken.

Musk says DOGE ‘restored’ Ebola prevention effort. Officials say that’s not true. USAID’s initiatives to fight Ebola and other diseases have been gutted, current and former agency officials said.

Every news outlet reporting Elon Musk's comment about accidentally canceling Ebola prevention efforts and quickly restoring them should also say they haven't been restored, they're still canceled, the outbreak-fighting teams are dismantled, the money is gone

@tiffanyclay.dev Chris Hayes went to Hunter College HS. Chris is an example of the skewed admissions that developed once boys were admitted (1975), favoring white boys and Asians, based solely on standardized test taking. HCHS now produces mainstream people who don’t rock boat. No original thinking.

I was sitting in LA at an outdoor cafe on July 5, 2019 when the Ridgecrest EQ struck some 200+/- miles to the NE. I thought for a moment, “Wow the street, as well as the palm trees, are swaying like I’m sitting on an elevated train platform.” Disconcerting to see solid objects move like H2O ripples.

Well of course Musk’s men at HUD come from real estate, especially the real estate forms that are
1) ethereal (AI) and
2) the cheapest, worst, least durable, worst investment, incapable of building generational wealth — mobile home ‘operator’.
Duh! It’s the money - that’s all it ever is with Musk

This is the end of democracy. What's to stop him from disbanding Congress and the Supreme Court via executive order? What's to stop him from stopping all elections? When you have a corrupt criminal as President, what more could you expect? Who is going to stop this regime?
