At some point they'll run out of idiots and maybe have to appoint someone halfway intelligent. (Wishful thinking, I know.)

We are really grateful for that. The funding status was unclear for a bit but it fell into place.

I have a son who graduated from UC Berkeley this year and graduate programs are challenging now. He's secured a research spot in a lab at Cal for the next year and we'll definitely be looking at European genetics PhD programs.

Watching The Trump Administration Violate Basic Human Rights with Impunity | Common Dreams The Trump administration, animated by a White, Christian, ethno-nationalist vision, is currently threatening human rights in every conceivable way.

“Does there exist an organized political force capable of resisting the dehumanization and repression that is spreading before our eyes? Can such a force be mobilized? Will it be mobilized? Or will the U.S. become the El Salvador of the North?”

Trump’s ‘Gold Standard’ for Science Manufactures Doubt By emphasizing scientific uncertainty above other values, political appointees can block any regulatory action they want to.

Trump's "gold standard" for science gives political appointees—most of whom are not scientists—the authority to define scientific integrity and then decide which evidence counts and how it should be interpreted, David Michaels and Wendy Wagner argue:

I don’t care what side of the aisle you’re on, the President of the United States even joking about revoking someone’s citizenship should be met with universal condemnation.

Thanks for this. I always enjoyed your similar Gettysburg post back on Twitter. This year it's making me get a little misty eyed in light of what went on in the House this morning.

111 years ago Franz Ferdinand was shot in Sarajevo and we are still dealing with the fallout. Here’s how it almost didn’t happen:

Major corporations quietly supporting ICE contracts while preaching “diversity & inclusion” is the definition of double-speak. You can’t market justice and bankroll oppression. 💸🧊

If you're heading to a protest tomorrow, it's important to know your rights. Consult this information from the ACLU.

Be peaceful. Be safe. Be careful. Be strong.

It was very good. The whole podcast thing had me perplexed but I'm happy to see him stepping up and defending what's left of our democracy.

I always LOL at Grant's anecdote in his memoirs about Braxton Bragg: Both were stationed up on the CA north coast and Bragg, as both commander & quartermaster, would submit requisitions to himself and then deny them.

Even if we ignore the obvious Confederate thing why did we want to rename Ft. Bragg when it's in honor of probably the most awful general of the Civil War?

There’s obviously a lot going on right now, but the Speaker of the House calling for the Governor of California to be tortured seems like it should be a pretty big story.

The No Kings protest map will help you find a place to exercise your First Amendment rights this weekend. (It's also a pretty good argument against the Electoral College.) www.nokings.org

I am in downtown Los Angeles right now and it is completely surreal to hear that Trump is sending Marines here. We are listening to mariachi music. People have dogs. There are teenagers here. It is utterly and completely peaceful. Please tell your friends.

You would think savvy medieval merchants would have insured their eels, but then perhaps there was a “no pirates” exclusion. 🏴‍☠️

Talk about a blue wall of resistance!🔥

Every single Democratic Governor has signed a statement standing with Gov. Newsom
@governor.ca.gov and
eviscerating Trump for abusing his power by deploying California’s National Guard and threatening to send U.S. Marines into American neighborhoods.
