So on brand for the Trump cronies to cite science they don’t understand. 😤

Funny how this is a settlement with “the Trump administration” and not the federal government. We are no longer a country governed by the rule of law.

journalists and the press should make it very clear this move is about information control and mandating that all future automation tools amplify and protect right wing ideology and right wing propaganda

“.. They are nurses, mechanics, sanitation workers and executives. .. They’ve opened restaurants .. paid taxes and contributed to Social Security, living and working legally in the United States since 1999.”

They have 60 days to leave.

these folks were not even here illegally. the administration made them undocumented! when people say “we want LEGAL immigration” know they are full of sh*t. every single republican supports this abomination. every single republican hates immigrants.

Performative public lying is a hallmark of far right authoritarian parties

2020 forced everyone to experience restrictions on how they lived, and that caused massive resentment among the ultra-rich in particular because it also, paradoxically, limited their ability to boss others around. They might blame summer 2020 but it was spring that already broke their brains.

This can’t be said often or loud enough.

Silicon Valley VCs sit atop a system where federal and state governments spent more on basic research of all kinds than most other countries in the world combined, and then take the ideas that come out of that and take it the last mile. An important function, but they disproportionately benefit.

Tapping the sign that says “NSF, NIH, and public investment into basic research are the real engines of US innovation”

In a just world this would haunt him for the rest of his life

they ask politicians like Mamdani if they are communists but they never ask anyone if they are a fascist and that's all you really need to know

In light of stripping Harvey Milk's name from a Navy ship, on this anniversary of the Stonewall Uprising, & in the sad aftermath of the assassinations of Melissa Hortman, her husband, & her dog, I need to observe that Milk and Mayor Moscone were also assassinated by a white male conservative.

You are not actually overreacting. It’s downhill, full speed, no brakes.

Assuming we get to have elections.

This would shut down a lot of people: “Oh sure, you can opt your kid out of that lesson, but you need to submit this notarized form so we can be sure the kid isn’t just ditching, and we don’t have the teachers to watch him while he’s out of class, so you have to come pick him up.”

Spot on. The only parents prepared to do that are those that would homeschool anyway.

Oh, just thinking of all the brothers from inner cities who put their bodies on the line for this ghoul.

Should we laugh or cry about this one?

The dismantling of the research apparatus that made America the science and tech giant it's been over the past century is the greatest own-goal in history. We haven't even begun to calculate or feel the losses

Marco Rubio needs to be asked whether he believes his grandfather who remained in the U.S. after receiving a deportation order from our govt should have been treated the way the father of 3 Marines was treated by ICE this weekend in California.

ASK HIM. Make him confront his lack of character.

Immigrant father of three Marines is violently detained, injured by federal agents, son says Narciso Barranco, a landscaper in Orange County, was detained by immigration officials in a violent altercation Saturday. Barranco is the father of three Marines.

LAT posts a picture of Narciso Barranco, who was violently assaulted by ICE, with his 3 Marine sons.

These are the proud Americans Stephen Miller is targeting.

Thank you @bencollins.bsky.social

A Dem lawmaker and her husband were killed by a guy for their political views and it’s already out of the news.

We need to use the term science denial more. Anti-science imo is not enough.

How far we have sunk as a country.

I wish people would stop describing things that are indisputably provable as a matter of fact as "controversial." People not liking a fact doesn't mean the fact is controversial. Reality is not malleable around our beliefs and it shouldn't be. We need to stop acting like it is.

SAY IT PLAIN: Federal “ICE officers” should not be anonymous.

And this shouldn’t be a controversial thing to say.

😂 although prison bait works too when followed by “sheriff’s on my tail.”
