Trump Administration Readies Plans to Dismantle Renowned Science Lab

This should be the biggest weather and climate news on your radar today.

At the beginning of the pandemic some disabled people felt hope.

We saw inclusion and accessibility improve overnight.

We saw accommodations put in place that we had spent years begging for.

We saw the world adapt.

That hope was ripped away during the rush back to normal.

It still hurts.

Everything the Ellison family could own if Paramount buys Warner Bros:

Paramount+
CBS
CNN
Showtime
HBO
Warner Bros
TNT
TBS
MTV

And more...

This is a rotten deal that the Trump regime has rubber stamped.

State AGs must step in and block it.

They made them take down the videos because they would cause "reputational damage" to people like this young man, Nathan Cavanuagh, so definitely don't post this all over the internet with the name Nathan Cavanaugh attached, or this guy might suffer reputational damage. This guy, Nathan Cavanaugh.

Grandma jailed after AI error linked her to crime in state she never visited: lawyer The charges were later dismissed after bank records showed she was in Tennessee at the time

If only a college professor could condescendingly yell at her that AI is useful, I bet she’d feel so much better about all this

If you think the far-right Israeli government is sitting around worried about what American Jews think about them you’re a ridiculous person.

They don’t give a fuck about us or our opinions and they don’t even give a fuck about our money because they have MASSIVE $$$ coming from Christian Zionists

Trump DOJ expands crackdown on overseas voters over ID The latest outreach confirms that the message California officials received last month was not isolated.

I fucking hate that every time violence against Jews happens I feel compelled to go on a threading and re-post spree defending us and begging you to believe we didn’t deserve it.

Next time I might not bother, frankly, because the heartless soulless response by non-Jews only gets worse, never better

Thought of an even better opponent than the Invisible Man (although I do like that match-up)…

Imagine this…Robin Hood vs. Predator

(Who can also turn invisible…)

What makes this a fun matchup isn’t just the “what can Robin do about an invisible opponent” angle.

It’s “what can the Invisible Man actually do to Robin?”

Nothing Griffin wears or wields becomes invisible.

Also, Robin’s got a security detail, as does the outlaws’ food source.

Robin Hood vs. The Invisible Man would be an interesting match-up.

It would naturally be hard for Robin to hit a target he couldn’t see, especially if he doesn’t know he’s coming.

But could Griffin’s invisibility overcome Robin’s other survival skills?

Ronald Reagan and Caspar Weinberger knew this would happen. George Bush I and Robert Gates knew this would happen. Dubya, Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld knew this would happen. Because the Pentagon has been consistently wargaming this out and saying it's the obvious response for NEARLY FIFTY YEARS.

I'm asking every Democrat, or liberal thinker, the kind that won Healthcare, freedom of choice, voting, rights, etc., to vote this year. Even if you've never voted before, please register to vote. Your country is counting on you. You are counting on you. Please vote.

Teaching STEM without teaching the Humanities is how you get Spider-Man viilains.

Heh.

Any thoughts on how to apply this to other superheroes’ rogues galleries?

I really don’t think enough is being made of the fact that it’s a three supposedly do-nothing toothless scholarly organizations—the AHA, the MLA, and the ACLS— who are directly responsible for one of the clearest and most damning exposures of this administration’s stupidity and malfeasance.

Insurrectionist Brunch: Trumpists plotted to deploy military on U.S. soil Before the 2024 election, a cadre of MAGA loyalists met over brunch to plot ways for Trump to use the military domestically.

This is just astonishingly great reporting.

All of the crises the White House has claimed over the last 14 months were planned in advance. All of them.

And however much contempt you have for media outlets who reverently relayed Trump's claim to have no relation to Project 2025, it isn't enough.

The SAVE ACT will disenfranchise millions of Americans from voting. That is what this regime wants because they can’t win anything in the current political climate. Continue to call your Senators!
