NRA in 2020: "We need guns to resist tyranny!" NRA in 2021: "We need guns to resist tyranny!" NRA in 2022: "We need guns to resist tyranny!" NRA in 2023: "We need guns to resist tyranny!" NRA in 2024: "Ya know, tyranny's not so bad."

This administration seems fixated on the idea that we are in a national emergency. That their is an invasion of some kind that justifies curbing the Bill of Rights. You can really tell this messaging is coming from people who know nothing of war.

“China could lose up to 10 million jobs if tariffs stay.” -US Treasury Sec. Scott Bessent Oh no, 10 million! That’s like… 0.8% of their population. Basically a rounding error in a country with 1.14 billion people. Panic accordingly.

Wow

Hostile = Disloyal

100 days into this presidency, Americans are paying the price - higher prices, crashing retirement accounts, and broken promises. But the American people are turning, thanks to your voices. Keep it up. It's up to us to demand something better.

I missed all the hints for 15 minutes on the new Dr. Who episode. But when I finally realized what planet they were on!!!! Great episode.

Two headlines in the New York Times today.

I work with autistic students and I have a question. I see there is some research on comparing dreaming between neuro-normative and autistic people. What I would love to see is research comparing everyday behavior of autistic individuals with neuro-normative dreamers.

⚡️ 'We know what we are fighting for' — Zelensky's Easter address to Ukraine in full. Zelensky lauded Ukraine's "resilience, compassion, and humanity," adding the country's faith has "not faded over 1,152 days of full-scale war."
