This was always the plan. You’d have to be delusional not to get that.

Harvard president receives standing ovation during commencement.

Deranged chaos agent anti-vaxxer RFK Jr. just instructed HHS to cancel over $700M in funding with Moderna to help develop a vaccine for various flu strains that would trigger future pandemics including the deadly H5N1 bird flu virus. This would be called murder.

People who think you can "ignore politics" are people who have never had their existence made into a political issue.

No American has free speech if they fear retribution from the American president.

Said it before, I’ll say it again. We shouldn’t privatize NASA. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/27/s...

I'm genuinely sorry that Fetterman had a stroke and suffers from depression. But arguing that he has a free pass not to do his job in the name of destigmatizing brain injury and mental health struggles is offensive. If he can't do it, he should resign. If he doesn't want to, he should resign faster.

Canyons lead the way, to the universe's radiant display. “Exploration is in our nature. We began as wanderers, and we are wanderers still. We have lingered long enough on the shores of the cosmic ocean. We are ready at last to set sail for the stars.” ― Carl Sagan, Cosmos

Medicare for All isn't radical. What's radical is that we are the only major country not to guarantee health care as a human right. Don’t believe me? Listen to what these nurses have say:

The "big, beautiful bill" is a big, ugly, disgusting mess. Here's why.

I am humbled yet proud to be counted as one of Jason’s @climbtotheclouds.bsky.social allies and friends in this pack. He is doing an extraordinary job of pulling people from diverse backgrounds together!

Don't let their cult cause your death. Vaccinate.

I’m proud Freedom of the Press Foundation is doing what CBS’s corporate owners won’t — standing up for press freedom and against authoritarian shakedowns. People who aren’t willing to defend the First Amendment should not be in the news business. www.wired.com/story/freedo...

Well, it sure didn't take very long for Trump go from deporting poor "illegal immigrants" to coming after rich legal Ivy League foreign students. Sooner or later, they'll come for you too. Fascism always does.

The GOP's tax cuts for billionaires and corporations ballooned the deficit. So now they're blaming the problem on vital social programs and demanding devastating cuts that will harm millions of people. It's socialism for the rich, harsh capitalism for everyone else.

Moskowitz: They have no brakes. They’re drunk with power. And the only way we’re going to send a message to them—the only way we’re going to be able to put brakes on this and stop it—is to make Hakeem Jeffries Speaker.

The nitrogen in our DNA, the calcium in our teeth, the iron in our blood, the carbon in our apple pies were made in the interiors of collapsing stars. We are made of starstuff.

#GVerse #Exclusive: Rep. Mark Pocan @pocan.house.gov just blew the lid off a #MAGA cover-up: 4 #Republican Senators switched their votes to confirm #Turnip’s cabinet after their families got death threats from #MAGA lunatics. That’s not democracy. It’s terrorism & it’s infecting the GOP from inside.

This is a view from the surface of Comet 67P. The busy particles in the foreground are cosmic rays or bits of dust and ice. The dots moving in the background are stars.

The SCOTUS emboldens them, granting them emergency relief when they are present before the tribunal.

He bought his way out of his criminal investigations, just like trump. I really don't see how we will get out of this. Those two parasites have now gangrened our nation. There is only one possible treatment, removing them both, fast! www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

America cannot long remain free, nor first among nations, if it becomes the kind of place where universities are dismantled because they don't align politically with the current head of the government.

from today's post, about the fuckery that went down at the secret crypto greedfest dinner that was held last night at Donny Convict's Virginia golf motel please read the whole thing, thanks! link is here: bit.ly/3Zw1nel (and as always, there's a longer excerpt in the alt text)

If you want democrats to stop bringing knives to a gunfight, arm them with a MAJORITY in 2026 😀💙
