Every flashbang could instead be a meal for a poor kid. Every hotel room for a National Guardsman deployed to fire at our neighbors could house a homeless vet. Every "less-than-lethal" bullet pulled from a journalist's eye could be already needed healthcare for anyone else. All of this is a choice.

I’ve been listening to an audiobook version of Daniel Defoe’s A Journal of the Plague Year and I think I want to teach a class on pandemics? Like not just the science behind them but also the history, the art they inspire, the way they have shaped us as human beings.

It is 100% carrying water for the opposition to participate in this collective delusion that Dems for some reason need to answer for every teen who throws a rock rather than hold the Trump admin accountable for intentionally creating chaos and breaking the law to stoke violence. They are in charge.

As we look back on World Oceans Day, remember: our fossil fuel combustion adds about 14 zettajoules of extra heat to the oceans every year. Mankind’s entire energy production is only half a zettajoule.

Look at that little tiny red bar for May 2025. That's the illegal rescission/impoundment of Congressionally appropriated funds, shown graphically. 3900 grants that DOGE has killed in May. Trump is killing American science and ending disease cures. Come out to protests June 14th, everyone.

One way to be a patriot right now is not to engage in doomerism. These people are fascists and they’re very dangerous. But they’re also weak, undisciplined, and unpopular. And they’re losing.
