This is not how someone gives their heart to the crowd.

It is not a characteristic of autism.

Someone does not accidentally do a Nazi salute.

If you are defending this anti-Semitic behavior, I have one question.

Is there anything Trump and his friends could do that you would not defend?

No matter what you think of what happened on January 6, 2021, President Donald Trump pardoned people who were convicted in a court of law of assaulting police officers with bats, fire extinguishers, batons, planks, and poles.

You Blamed DEI for Hurting Your Career. Now What? For people who pin their failures on diversity, corporate America’s DEI retreat removes a barrierβ€”or maybe an excuse.

this confirms something i have long suspected, which is that certain people are told that their professional and academic failures are because of β€œaffirmative action” or β€œDEI” as a way to avoid difficult conversations about their mediocrity www.wsj.com/lifestyle/ca...

President Biden in his Farewell Address:

"Today, an oligarchy is taking shape in America of extreme wealth, power, and influence that threatens our entire democracy, our basic rights, the freedoms and the fair shot for everyone to get ahead."

Occasional reminder that there’s no, β€œit’s too late, its over” for anthropogenic climate change. Every molecule of CO2 that doesn’t go into the atmosphere makes a difference. Preventing 0.1 degree of warming makes a difference. Every bit of climate resilience we build together makes a difference.

Just as delegate is named Judiciary chairman, story breaks about drinks, rifle, 911 calls and deputy report - WV MetroNews Brandon and Brianne Steele each assessed that night as bad and said that his behavior was poor. They noted, though, that he was not arrested and said he had not threatened his family.

We gotta reject β€œWell, RFK jr. is right about some things” and accept β€œif we don’t confront the real problems with our systems, it becomes much easier for con artists like this guy to manipulate people.”

ProPublica has new reporting about states with strict abortion bans failing to track their impact on women, but @cassandrajaramillo.bsky.social explains how maternal mortality committees are already years behind in tracking maternal deaths.

Goldman Sachs asks in biotech research report: 'Is curing patients a sustainable business model?' Goldman Sachs warns sales from the most successful disease treatments are difficult to maintain.

Goldman Sachs analysts : The money men saying the quiet part out loud

Curing patients may not be a sufficiently profitable enterprise for biotech companies.

Chronic disease is a far more beneficial business model

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism.

We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive

Tell that to the kids in WV being abused by their parents. Tell that to children being molested in their own homes.

Disgusting.

Today, President Biden announced the creation of a National Monument at the Carlisle Indian School to acknowledge the harm done to Native children and families at these schools.

This is an important step toward healing for generations of Native peoples.

Today, 83 years after the attack on Pearl Harbor we honor the memory of 2,400+ American lives lost on that harrowing day. We honor the enormous courage of those who ran headfirst into the fire and chaos to defend our homeland. All of their sacrifice must never be forgotten. @wwiimemorial.bsky.social

NBC news screenshot of interview with Texas representative Greg Casar
"The progressive movement needs to change. We need to re-emphasize core economic issues every time some of these cultural war issues are brought up," Casar said. "So when we hear Republicans attacking queer Americans again, I think the progressive response needs to be that a trans person didn't deny your health insurance claim, a big corporation did - with Republican help. We need to connect the dots for people that the Republican Party obsession with these culture war issues is driven by Republicans' desire to distract voters and have them look away while Republicans pick their pocket."
