I asked the one high ranking policeman I saw on 5th Ave why there were so few police. He said “We did not expect anything like this. Don’t tell anyone but I’ve only got 44 officers out here — and it’s a great crowd, great event, no incidents.”

Watch Dr Joffe. No holds barred. ‘Twas perfect! 👌

I think it is a good idea to move money out of any account that receives or makes payments to US gov. Create a new account and keep the old one only for processing gov payments. Transfer any incoming quickly to new account.

Baltimore’s central library is closing three hours earlier than usual and two hours before Schumer’s event starts tomorrow

This power grab is unprecedented, unbounded, and unconstitutional.

Fox News is now displaying photos of judges who rule against Trump while hosts and Republicans attack them live on air

Being an apologist for genocide and being an enabler for an authoritarian take-over of the U.S. somehow go hand in hand.

This is horrible to post, but I may as well post it. We are essentially shutting down research operations in my group, which is focused on treatments for pediatric brain cancer. I’m a well funded investigator, and there’s no choice. Science can’t function without the stability of NIH

Huge march in New York today protesting the illegal DOGE cuts

Wrong action. Wrong rationale. Wrong time to be so wrong…again.

Vichy Dems must go.

At this point, probably better if we just got rid of the entire WaPo opinion section.

"policy of NIH not to prioritize research activities that focuses gaining scientific knowledge on why individuals are hesitant to be vaccinated" US decline continues 5th rate country? www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

the leap from disappearing the undocumented to disappearing visa holders to disappearing green card holders to disappearing naturalized citizens to disappearing natural born citizens is no leap at all, but a series of tiny steps block the path

It’s really says a lot when ***Donald Trump*** can’t bring himself to lie about something.

Presidents of #Harvard, #Yale, #Princeton, #Stanford, #MIT, #Penn, #NotreDame, #Columbia, #Northwestern, #JohnsHopkins should stop hiding under the bed & collectively stand up w/ other university leaders to fight back against #Trump, #Musk. You already have targets on your backs. Fight. Damn it.

This is great, but it needs to be packaged with a couple hundred bottles of Crown Royal or Canadian Club or we’re not gonna make it

The death knell of democracy will be people deciding that it is all too much for them. They will decide that they can’t fight it, so they will retreat into the fictional world that Hulu and Netflix provide. They will go on with their lives until there is loud banging on their door and it’s over.

“now-discredited” lol basically everything but the pee tape turned out to be true

"I voted for Trump last election, but, because I thought it was going to be the things, you know, like, … just go against criminals..."

Bowing to Trump's demand for homeless sweeps in DC, the city is forcibly clearing an encampment near the State Department. One woman was dragged from her tent and placed in handcuffs. via @nbcwashington.com: www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/n...

Wow. Marine LePen with sympathetic words for Ukraine www.lefigaro.fr/politique/ma...

I’ve been feeling a particular affinity for the French these days … not just because I’ve watched Casablanca so many times lately that I know the words to the first verse of La Marseillaise forward and backward

Democracy is burning, and we need sites like Bluesky more than ever. And Senator Durbin wants to repeal 230, which would massively stifle the ability of sites like Bluesky to exist, while massively empowering X and Meta. Why? It seems that someone in his office doesn't understand 230.

Democrats definitely need to be present for the beginning of Trump's ramblings. They don't need to stay. And they don't need to be quiet while they are there.

no that was the Constitution

The US military has removed photos of the B-29 bomber “Enola Gay” — which dropped the first atomic bomb on Japan — apparently because it contains the word “gay,” which violates their new anti-DEI rules.

Sorry @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social but wearing pink, praising Reagan, being polite isn't a winning strategy unless you want to be the #GOP-lite. Shame on you for castigating your members who have more courage than the entire Democratic leadership. 1/ www.axios.com/2025/03/06/t...

The Dems need to make good trouble ASAP. Our country/world are under attack by a dictator who is in bed w/ Putin. Waving tiny flags ain't gonna save us. As a scientist, I'm ready to push back. I welcome invites to testify at any level. I am not afraid and will be participating in protests. Let's go!

France is providing intelligence to Ukraine despite the Trump administration's decision to stop doing so, French Armed Forces Minister Sébastien Lecornu said today.
