In previous life I supported technology in the largest school system in Maryland, serving more than 160,500 students. I retired early to work full-time on Obama's 2nd campaign, & have kept an eye on Dem politics since.

Some Democrats are looking to cosy up to Musk: Ro Khanna: “We should ultimately be trying to convince him that the Democratic Party has more of the values that he agrees with.” Ritchie Torres: “I'm a believer in redemption, and he is telling the truth about the legislation.”

Some Democrats are looking to cozy up to fascism, is what they wanna do. If that party wants to start taking this country back, they need to figure out how to lead this country instead of being content to lick the ass of the dog ahead of them in line.

very fun to read frederick douglass accurately describe the problem with the pardon power in 1867

Chris Murphy: "We can't be preparing for the 2026 election. It might not come. All of our focus right now has to be on protecting the democracy, about stopping the corruption."

🧵 Steven Miller's tangled web of lies about immigration have us all trapped in his dystopian nightmare.

@gregsargent.bsky.social is doing important work on Trump's deportation gulag. But this misses a key point. Stephen Miller lied his ass off to get Trump elected. He lied abt TdA, he lied abt number of criminal aliens, he (obviously) lied abt Haitians, he funded a shit-ton of false ads abt migrants

Why public sector investment in basic research and innovation is irreplaceable ⤵️

"..raising alarm among counterterrorism researchers & nonprofit groups funded by CP3. ..stunned to see a photo of “a college kid” with a flag pin on his lapel posing with a sharply arched eyebrow. No threat prevention experience is listed in his employment history"

He needed air. The price was $539. When OptumRx dropped coverage of his $66 inhaler, Cole couldn’t afford the new price. 5 days later, he died from a severe asthma attack—with no inhaler. He paid with his life. www.nbcnews.com/nightly-news... #MedSky #SciSky #PedsSky #PulmSky

A Florida weatherman telling his viewers he can no longer be confident in his forecasts due to cuts to atmospheric science is the kind of resistance content I’m here for. Kudos, Sir.🌦️

I've seen folks talk about how "in four years" they'll be able to get back to their planned projects and I really don't think that's going to work out. People & projects losing funding now will not be able to hit pause and come back once funding is restored. Hard-won progress & capacity will be lost

www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a... So a coach won at the Supreme Court allowing him to pray on the football field but the Reverend Barber gets arrested for praying at the Capitol Rotunda. It’s patriotic to have rioters on January 6, arrest them,try them and then Trump pardons them. This is insane

They don’t have the right to dictate my life.

🧵I could never take a bite out of one of these, but just LOOK at these incredible works of art! Cookies (biscuits) indeed!

Too bad the U.S. is defunding cancer research so Musk can buy a 4th yacht. All kinds of exciting discoveries happening.

The thing to remember about Andrew Cuomo's breakfast order is that he resigned the governorship in disgrace after being credibly accused of sexually harassing at least 11 women with unwanted groping, kissing and sexual comments

San Diego neighborhood makes ICE agents retreat

Love this so much

All 3 of these are lies. ALL. THREE.

Stunning details now emerging: this was an operation planned a year and a half in advance, involved smuggling drones into Russia, placing them in containers on top of trucks, arranging for them all to open simultaneously and to strike.

Someone at the CDC is living the most important slogan of the moment ("fuck you, make me")

This is MAGA's one, big, beautiful healthcare plan.

NIH stops development of HIV vaccine, terminates grants to consortia, including at Duke University. www.science.org/content/arti...
