RIFs can’t be done without agency leadership so this is RFK Jr extending his purge of CDC scientists to help Vought’s shutdown agenda. Genuine public health risks created by aggrieved men.

If I were actively trying to destroy the United States from within, going after and dismantling its public health would be like the first thing I’d do.

Just pointing that out.

This is beyond dangerous. It’s leaving us vulnerable in a way we can’t really fathom until it’s too late.

Exactly! Besides being creepy (humans) and just weird, the mistaken "pictures" of C. elegans (like with legs and antennae) in PR posts about worm publications set my teeth on edge

So Trump gave Argentina a $20 billion bailout and is now building a Qatari military facility in Idaho.

While Americans can’t afford groceries.

Nothing quite like a free plug. Check out Nokings.org for a location near you. Thanks Mike👍🏽

Begging scientists (and media posts about science) to stop using ChatGPT-generated images

~40% of the ENTIRE corn crop of the US is used to make ethanol. This gets blended with gasoline to power well under 10% of our vehicle miles. If we converted 100% of our vehicles to EVs installing solar on a small fraction of the land this corn is grown on would power them all.

papers like the New York Times actively help right wing propagandists by introducing false claims as something that's open to debate and interpretation, instead of clearly framing them up front as lies pushed by unreliable operators

Turning Point USA is a right wing propaganda op aimed at kids

Things are happening at Portland's ICE facility tonight.

Screenshot of headline reading: New York Attorney General Letitia James charged in fraud case after pressure campaign by Trump

If Trump can do this to Comey and Letitia James, he can do it to anyone. This is authoritarianism. We cannot be silent.

Indicting political opponents & critics because they are political opponents & critics is terrifying.

It's completely inconsistent with the rule of law & democracy.

It should scare everyone - and (hopefully) will get people to realize that we all need to stand against this.

Unbeknownst to most or long forgotten is that on October 8 and October 10, 2023; Hamas offered the same deal that’s being pitched as Trump’s “Gaza Peace Deal” which would have handed all hostages over to Israel in exchange for Israeli troops not entering the strip, Netanyahu refused the proposal.

I would like to get to a place where consigning 14 million people to death isn’t described as “DOGE didn’t do much.”

My God.....the little dance the frog does after being pepper balled is a thing to behold

I’ve read that the law allows any judge to swear her in. Why don’t y‘all arrange that?

WATCH: ‘Portland Frog’ pepper balled by ICE agents

🎵 They did the Monster Slash 😭 @ellecordova.bsky.social

Pritzker is right. They want to normalize troops in cities so they can steal every election just like Putin does.

WATCH: Trump’s lawless Ice goons shoot an unarmed priest in the head with a pepper ball. Completely out of control.

It is very interesting to think about the concept of a “national divorce” when one side is clearly an abuser and populated an admin with them too

Russell Vought seems to be aiming to end all of US science.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

RFK Jr’s attack on science has close parallels to Lysenko’s attack on genetic in Soviet Russia.

Speak in populist press, not journals
Make quick solution to problems
Blame failures on internal enemies

He needed a supporting anti-elitist government

A good podcast

crimes. you mean he's doing crimes.

bucking tradition is wearing a white suit after labor day.

Someone should start asking why we’re hearing and seeing Stephen Miller so much all of a sudden.

Am I correct that the only Americans to get any benefit from the WH this year who isn’t in the Administration (or a relative) are Ghislaine Maxwell and the 1/6 insurrectionists?

Actually, the Democrats did *not* vote to shut the government down. They voted *against* a CR that makes medical insurance financially unattainable for millions of Americans.
