No food, aid, or fuel have entered Gaza since March 2.

Community kitchens have closed. Children are sick, thirsty, and starving.

Now Netanyahu’s government wants to occupy Gaza and shut down the existing aid distribution system run by the UN and its humanitarian partners.

Arms embargo now.

Star Wars Intro Scroll

Episode IV
It Was All So Stupid

Seriously, you would not believe how stupid it was. Every day, unrelentingly, just the dumbest stuff by the absolute worst people. And what made it worse was knowing that we’d brought this on ourselves.

Pritzker: It’s time for us to be done with optimism about their motives. Time to stop wondering if you can trust the nuclear codes to people who don’t know how to organize a group chat. It’s time to stop ignoring the hypocrisy in wearing a big gold cross while announcing the defunding of children’s cancer research… Autistic kids and adults who are loving contributors to our society don’t deserve to be stigmatized by a weird nepo baby who once stashed a dead bear in his car. Our military service members don’t deserve to be told by a washed-up Fox TV commentator, who drank too much before being appointed Secretary of Defense, that they can’t serve their country simply because they are Black, gay, or a woman.

Erasing History: Project 2025's Vision for Tribal Nations The implementation of Project 2025 isn’t just reshaping policyβ€”it’s erasing history. From the Pentagon’s removal of Navajo Code Talkers to the deletion of federal reports on missing Indigenous women, ...

First they erased the Navajo Code Talkers from Pentagon records. Then they took down tribal flags. Now, federal reports on missing Indigenous women are vanishing. Project 2025 isn’t policy reformβ€”it’s a systematic erasure of Native nations from law, history, and public memory.

Elon Musk is targeting Social Security claiming there is widespread fraud.

Donald Trump is targeting Canada claiming there are secret fentanyl labs.

It's *all* lies.

It's just George W. Bush telling you Iraq has weapons of mass destruction again as a dishonest pretext for doing what he wanted.

Here are some goods in the crosshairs of Trump's tariffs on Mexico, Canada and China President Donald Trump was poised to impose 25% taxes on imports from Canada and Mexico Tuesday and to double to 20% his levies on Chinese products.

The U.S. has a "president" who is a fool.

Our stock market is crashing.

Our economy is contracting.

Our government is dismantling.

Our allies are fleeing.

Our grocery prices are rising.

But at least we now call it "The Gulf of America."

So it all evens out.

It has begun: my department was in negotiations with an outstanding scientist for a faculty position. That faculty candidate has now withdrawn citing political upheaval, and is strongly considering moving her career to Europe.

The US is no longer the premiere destination for research scientists.
