Nine months ago, I started taking Vyvanse for ADHD. It has changed my life for the better. Unfortunately, over time, I've noticed that the effects have started to wear off earlier and earlier in the evening... 6:00, 5:00, even 4:00. I asked my doctor if we could increase my dosage.

🚨 The Trump admin just did a total U-turn and reinstated all the foreign student visas they had previously canceled. Why? Because they kept losing in court, so instead of dragging it out, they quietly gave up and reversed the policy.

One of the wilder political things in recent history is that Project 2025 publicly released a 900 page document laying out their plans to roll back 100 years of human progress and then during the campaign Republicans just said "no we're not :)" and then they won and now they're doing it all.

HAPPY TAX DAY! How much would you spend on a year of tornado warnings? The average US taxpayer spends only $4 a year to help fund the NWS. It’s a smart investment—every $1 invested in NWS yields approx. $73 in social benefits. 🌪️❄️ Support science. Support the NWS. Stay tuned for more this #TaxDay

If Stephen Miller can lie about Abrego Garcia and his case on national TV, he can do it in federal court under oath. Judge Xinis should demand his appearance, question him under oath, then jail him for Contempt when he commits Perjury. This lawless administration has to be subjected to rule of law.

The president has asked a foreign dictator to build five more prison camps to house Americans - American that we apparently can't ever get back once they're sent there. We're not "heading towards authoritarianism - we are there.

UPDATE: El Salvador’s brutal far-right dictator, Trump and Musk friend Nayib Bukele, has confirmed that he will never return any person sent to him from America. And Trump has confirmed he wants American citizens sent to El Salvador to die in a foreign gulag. This is a five-alarm fire for democracy.

This morning, I find myself thinking about thinking. As someone in academia, I spend a lot of my time thinking. I think all day at work. When I go home, I read and think; I consume video content and think; I play various types of games and think; I solve an assortment of puzzles daily and think.

Pritzker: The question I ask is: if you’re willing to hand the keys to Europe over to Putin, what’s next? How does the US retain its leadership in the world when he’s essentially retreating to our own borders? He’s even made enemies of the Canadians—I can’t imagine anything more telling than that.

AOC: What they like to call as radical, I believe is common sense. I believe that when a person gets sick, they shouldn’t go bankrupt in the wealthiest country in the history of the world. Common sense I believe that a minimum wage should cover the minimum cost to live. Common sense...

AOC, @aoc.bsky.social, making the case for free speech alongside universal healthcare is so KEY for the left, because it's time progressives reclaimed the mantle of fighting for free speech from the faux free speech warriors of the right.

If you have Democratic senators, and you haven’t called them yet asking them to replace Chuck Schumer as senate minority leader, today is a beautiful day to do that. Holds double true if Schumer is your senator.

19-20 months from now, Trump will have pushed the economy off a cliff and left the civil service a smouldering husk. If you're a Democratic elected and you think a government shutdown from a CR fight is gonna be the thing voters remember, you need your fucking head examined.

I think the answer here is pretty simple: a large portion of the United States is deeply anti-intellectual and self involved. The people who care are those who have always cared. The rest will not care until they are unemployed and in the bread line. That is what rugged individualism gets you.

I think the more horrifying thing to sit with is this: the every-day operations of the jail, prison, and immigration detention systems are and have been dehumanizing, and we built them, and they lend themselves seamlessly to the fascist business of stealing and caging even more people
