Biden would’ve been instantly impeached in a bipartisan vote if he put his face on the freakin’ Department of Justice building

March 28th. Let’s have the biggest marches this two hundred and fifty year old democracy in need of rescue has ever seen.

No Kings, you know, for real.

Shipwreck on Zombie Road Vindication means nothing without justice.

I love living in Missouri because I can write an article called "Shipwreck on Zombie Road" and people think it's a metaphor (which it can be!) but there is also a real shipwreck on a real place called Zombie Road. Photos inside:

All these, plus yeah yeah a brother and some cousins, make a compelling case for me to *visit* MO.

Okay, but is there a third reason to love living in Missouri?
The answer is yes: gooey butter cake.

I don’t know who needs to hear Jesse Jackson leading the kids on Sesame Street in this beautiful call-and-response reminding them that every child is somebody, but here it is

A large yellowish blob in the upper-left centre, with two dimmer dots to the lower right marked by arrows. These dots are giant exoplanets. The remaining dots without arrows are background stars, and the features around the main blob are imaging artefacts.

See those two dots with arrows pointing to them?

They're giant gas planets orbiting their star, located 307 lightyears away.

These are directly imaged exoplanets.

The drunk uncle theory.

You don’t argue with the casually homophobic uncle at Thanksgiving dinner to change his mind; you argue so that the closeted cousin at the kids table knows there’s safe people and better possibilities out there

agree with this (hah) but also think a particular mistake the left made for a long time online, and still makes to an extent, is failing to understand that the person whose mind you may actually change is the one reading the argument you're having, not the one you're arguing with

Filming ICE iS protected speech. www.PAXIS.app explains:

When ICE gets inches from your face and screams “18 U.S.C. 111” while threatening cuffs do this:

Do this:
✅ Save the full video + backup
✅ Write a timeline + witnesses
✅ File: ICE OPR / DHS OIG / DHS CRCL

Medgar Evers’ killer was a Klansman, but Trump administration says stop calling him a racist - Mississippi Today Among anticipated changes to a new visitor brochure for the Medgar & Myrlie Evers Home National Monument is no longer using "racist" to describe the killer of the civil rights leader.

Ask yourself: why would this administration want to delete references to Medgar Evers’ racist assassin being a racist? Why might that be?

I challenge anyone in this administration or Congress to defend this.

An extraordinary paragraph. buff.ly/uH5ykhX
The secret fear of the morally depraved is that virtue is actually common, and that they're the ones who are alone. In Minnesota, all of the ideological cornerstones of MAGA have been proved false at once. Minnesotans, not the armed thugs of ICE and the Border Patrol, are brave. Minnesotans have shown that their community is socially cohesivebecause of its diversity and not in spite of it. Minnesotans have found and loved one another in a world atomized by social media, where empty men have tried to fill their lonely soul with lies about their own inherent superiority. Minnesotans have preserved everything worthwhile about "Western civilization," while armed brutes try to tear it down by force.

Trump Administration Erases the Government’s Power to Fight Climate Change

It's an open question whether Trump will kill more people by:
A) Canceling aid to starving people overseas
B) Undermining vaccines to invite a resurgence of previously conquered diseases
C) Destroying efforts to address climate change
Add them together and it's obvious Trump is a mass murderer.

The Tolerance Paradox Explained (Karl Popper)
YouTube video by Philosophy Vibe The Tolerance Paradox Explained (Karl Popper)

YES! Popper argued that open societies must defend themselves against those who exploit tolerance to spread hate and suppress others, suggesting suppression by force might be necessary if they refuse rational debate and resort to violence. www.youtube.com/watch?v=d_R9...
