Dr. Hayden on CBS Sunday Morning today: youtu.be/rme21qIbVHM?...

Hot take. The government isn’t subsidizing university budgets. Universities are lending subsidized expertise to research and development that contributes to the public good. It’s called partnership.

This guy loves yelling at people to apologize

Man, it's bad enough to watch your nation sinking into fascist dystopia but for THAT guy? the barely-sentient former game show host with the laughably stupid combover? Really, that's the dude for whom we're giving up democracy?

A study finds, US based academic research institutes account for 50% of new medical drugs in the last 4 years. 🧪 www.statnews.com/2025/06/06/u... #science #savescience #stat

yes if churches are your thing you can find one that is worth your time

Today’s Pentecost, the start of Pride week in town, and the 29th anniversary of my church’s voting to accept and affirm Queer folks, I’ve never heard this congregation get so raucous before haha Pride at a church that faced very real consequences for committing to love everyone is heartening lately

The Trump Administration always had the power to bring Kilmar Abrego back. They were always lying about this, all of it was lies. abcnews.go.com/US/mistakenl... They chose to disobey court orders because they are authoritarians who regard the Constitution as an inconvenience.

They also shoot a lot of people's pets. 10,000 pet dogs for example.

ABC kinda lacks ballz

Hey hey I decided to try out bonfire to relaunch this design with ALL proceeds benefiting the transgender law center! www.bonfire.com/kekedem/

What happened in Paramount and Downtown LA was not a riot. THIS is what an LA riot looks like.

Nothing says “here to help” like big wooden batons.

One of these photos is how HBO's The Watchmen depicted a fascist police force back in 2018 The others are real photos of the ICE agents who are rounding people up and disappearing them in Boston, Denver, L.A., and elsewhere

Robb Elementary School, Uvalde. (Many, many other examples.)

Less than 45 minutes after President Donald Trump thanked the National Guard "for a job well done!" Mayor Karen Bass clarified on social media "the National Guard has not been deployed in the City of Los Angeles."

Look how quickly the Vice President of the United States pivoted to portraying Stephen Miller(!) as a victim of the press. All because a reporter stated the obvious truth about Miller’s hate-mongering. MAGA = constant victimology and grievances.

So Trumps sent more than double the number of National Guard into LA than eventually responded to the Capitol being attacked.

cowards

ICE crossed a line in LA

They’re joking but I don’t disagree

Would encourage everyone trying to draw the parallels between Terry Moran's deleted tweet and Ed Murrow actually watch the Ed Murrow broadcast on Joe McCarthy -- www.youtube.com/watch?v=dMgo...

“Saw some civilians hiding in a bunker, cowering, looking out the door. Saw some advancing Americans coming that way. I just figured it was time to do something, to not let these people get killed. Landed in between the Americans & Vietnamese, told my crew chief & gunner to cover me…” Please read:

My dad, who has lived under a dictatorship, knows one when he sees one. His first text this morning is that we are now officially in a dictatorship. It is all pretty grim.

that owl is a cop anyway

The weird, often whitewashed way the civil rights movement is taught (or not taught) seemed to convince a lot of people that nonviolence was met with nonviolence, instead of you know, dogs, hoses, beatings, death, etc

The Israeli defense minister is openly threatening the life of GretaThunberg and other unarmed peace activists on an aid ship. Where the f**k are the world’s leaders? The world’s media?

I'm not going to be tricked into thinking that hate is a sin. That vitriol from below is somehow equivalent to death from above. The sin is tearing families apart. The sin is fascism. The sin is staying silent, being unmoved by the currents we all feel. Hatred is what we need

How now-DHS Secretary Kristi Noem felt about a president potentially federalizing the National Guard one year ago:

#USSpaceForce #TransRightsAreHumanRights "Col. Bree Fram, one of the highest-ranking openly transgender officers in the U.S. military, wrote in an Instagram post Friday that her removal would take effect the following day."

Blue Grosbeaks come back to our local bluffs to breed! We’re very lucky to have caught the returning patriarch for 3 consecutive years And this year it seems at least one of his offspring has made the return trip with him as inspired up to 4 blue grosbeaks at Fairview Park! 2 males and 2 females 📷🪶

I don’t know what purpose the “AI findings” tool on this photo repository site is supposed to serve, but what it’s done here is take a real caption with real information and make a new version of it with incorrect unit and place names for no reason

lmao The Sun has a livestream of the “LA riots” on YouTube and when you click on it it’s a bunch of troops standing around doing nothing you can literally hear birds singing in the background what a time to be alive

Boosting this for good measure. To quote the CNN piece: "Homan accused Gov. Gavin Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass of creating “a sanctuary for criminals,” adding that neither are exempt from potential arrest." This should alarm the hell out of all of us.

“Don’t get emotional, it plays into their hands” Counterpoint via the embroidery @marthamihalick.bsky.social made for me seven years ago:

Tim Wilson says Coalition won’t revisit ban on working from home as ‘happy workers’ are more productive

After “rule of law”, “separation of powers”, “habeas corpus”, our next legal term for those following the ongoing US constitutional crisis is “insurrection”. This is like the most dismal 101 course in constitutional law (and lack of law) ever, played before us in real time.
