Twelve years (and 2.1 billion views) ago, when my brother and I decided that we could make videos that could maybe help people in their high school and college educations and then give them away for free, no one was there to tell us we were crazy, and I am very glad for that...🧵

This is from The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson aired on May 20th, 1977. Carl Sagan says something very important, a strong message that didn't lose any validity since then.

The richest 0.1% of Americans control $22 trillion in wealth. The bottom 50% control $3.8 trillion in wealth. Read that back. Folks, this is what oligarchy looks like.

Vance meets the #Pope, Pope dies literally hours later, on #EASTER day! If there’s any true Christians out there supporting MAGA, trump, Republicans and you don’t see the giant sign God/Jesus/Heavens just gave you to stop following false prophets & liars — nothing will help you save your soul.

People spend a lot of time wondering why the left is worse at using independent media to control the national narrative. A useful exercise is to ask why the left is also worse at selling snake oil and pyramid schemes, because I think the reasons are basically exactly the same.

Barnes & Noble in Georgetown with a stark ā€œBohemian Rhapsodyā€-referencing book display this weekend.

ā€œUS coup gains speedā€ while editors at The New York Times are worried about frisbee and egg muffins, and I wish I’d be joking. Read this important piece by @carolecadwalla.bsky.social: open.substack.com/pub/broligar... #usa #trump #nyt #broligarchy

One man just wiped out $10 trillion in wealth, is destroying centuries-old legal protections, and seems determined to unravel humanity’s greatest public health achievement. In 3 months. I don’t know how we get out of this. But if we do, one person can never have that kind of power again.

Absolutely heartwarming🄰 Also, I’m relieved to learn that Bridget returned home safely😻 These paintings should definitely become an illustrated children’s book, with some text detailing Bridget’s adventures, teaching about history depicted in these pictures in the processšŸ‘šŸ» #cats #goodvibes

It's time to start reminding people: LILIES ARE DEADLY FOR CATS. The leaves, the petals, the stem, even drinking a bit of vase water or licking a few grains of pollen from their fur can cause fatal kidney failure. āš ļø www.fda.gov/animal-veter...

To the world: We are fighting back. Our movement has been silenced by the media here—but we are not backing down. This is what our streets looked like across multiple cities. Tomorrow, there will be more of us! Raise a glass to freedom. —With love, Your American allies.

The last day on which a majority of the Supreme Court’s justices had been appointed by Democratic presidents was May 14, 1969. One of the things we do in the legal academy is support our claims with facts.

The CDC has literally been gutted today. There’s no need for ā€œApril Foolsā€ when reality is a nightmare for every human on this planet. Thousand of scientists fired. Entire departments erased. 1/

Not gonna lie… this is kinda freaking me out.

The fact that a reporter was inadvertently given access to this in real time shows that Pete Hegseth & the rest of this crew are bumbling incompetents who are going to get a lot of intelligence officials and others killed at some point. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

Wow, a guy who always lies & spreads mostly kremlin’s disinformation LIED & spread mostly kremlin’s disinformation?! Color me surprisedšŸ¤·šŸ»ā€ā™‚ļø And was also off by 10x?! That can’t be! Not like it happened before with literally ALL of his projects: Semi, Roadster, self-driving, Starship, Hyperloop, etc!

Lincoln talked about a government of the people, by the people, for the people. Today, with Trump as our president, we have a government of the billionaires, by the billionaires, for the billionaires.
