If your child reports that their spouse or their family experience law enforcement very differently than you do, that they were put in extreme danger by LEOs for no reason, don't question whether the story really went as told, or whether the perpetrators were really law enforcement. Listen. Learn.

I keep seeing these AI-generated images of past Presidents in silly settings making fun of Trump. I hate that fake feel-good shit. I'd rather be inspired by real people actually fighting this regime, and learn about something I can do, than chuckle at AI pics trained on others' art to fantasize.

It's really hard to have parents who would doubt you and your siblings' own personal experiences because they don't align with their propaganda-informed worldview.

Ooh, one of my favorite shows (Chef's Table) has a new episode profiling one of my favorite people (José Andrés). Off to watch now! (on Netflix)

They’re grabbing people at immigration court and at their restaurant jobs because as we know, hardened criminals and human traffickers always show up for their paperwork appointments and dishwashing gigs.

These kinds of reports, how bird flu affects businesses and shopping, are probably going to be the disease trackers we have to rely on, as actual disease monitoring and communications are defunded by our current government.

“One idea that’s been discussed is possibly creating a video version of the PDB (President’s Daily Brief) that’s made to look and feel like a Fox News broadcast, 4 of the people with direct knowledge of the discussions said.“ Trump has only had 14 PDBs this year and he STILL needs it dumbed down!🤡

When you see two random posts on an obscure topic and realize you missed some piece of news they're commenting on, but not directly referencing, then need to solve the mystery...

There are 2 previous historical cases of countries destroying their science and universities, crippling them for decades: Lysenkoism in the USSR and Nazi Germany. The Trump administration will be the 3rd. It's not just budgets but research, institutions, expertise, and training the next generation.

SPACENEWS: NASA budget would cancel dozens of science missions, lay off thousands (But sets aside nearly $2 billion effectively earmarked for SpaceX) spacenews.com/nasa-budget-...

The Presidents Budget Request for NASA is out. It’s a bloodbath Canceled are DAVINCI, VERITAS, Juno, OSIRIS-APEX, US participation in ExoMars and EnVision… Huge cut to R&A. No funding to begin development of the Uranus Orbiter. If you’ve ever cared about NASA, time to contact congress.

Here's NASA astrophysics, if I read the president's proposed budget correctly. 🔭

An epidemiologist at Columbia had to issue a statement saying the research article RFK Jr. cited with her name is FAKE. It’s not real. The paper itself doesn’t EXIST. Yall this is fascism. FAKE scientific articles used by the government to influence policy is FASCISM. This is horrifying.

Trump is brazenly corrupt, and pardoning fellow criminals who have violated the public's trust, all while claiming to be attacking "waste, fraud, and abuse" in our government via DOGE. His people are the wasteful ones, the fraudulent ones, the abusers.

It’s hard to try to improve things in DC if you have no respect for public service, have no idea what you’re doing, and are mainly focused on steering government contracts to yourself.

Noting the obvious: The recent influx of ICE into immigration courts will only make it harder to immigrate to America "the right way", following legal protocols. ICE is not waiting for convicted criminals to emerge from trials. They're targeting people who are showing up to scheduled hearings.

Miss Rachel isn’t on Bluesky, but her posts about Gaza should be. I wish this wasn’t so unusual to see from people with big platforms.

Mask up! Demand cleaner indoor air in schools and public spaces to reduce risk from all current and future airborne diseases!

It's also very pennywise and pound foolish given that you can pay for thousands of shots for the price of one hospitalization. Not to mention that hospital beds and ER space are finite resources and an overflow has cascading effects.

This is crass cost-cutting wrapped in junk science as justification. Removing these recommendations means Medicaid will no longer automatically cover Covid vaccines for kids and pregnant people, who make up about half of all Medicaid recipients. It's "saving" money by forcing the vulnerable to pay.

One thing we never talk about is how NASA was not allowed to fail in the same ways that SpaceX does. For NASA, they’ve been under a strict microscope of not wasting taxpayer dollars in their pursuits. The bar was always high. SpaceX has a lower bar, all while still using taxpayer dollars.

There are many articles clearly outlining Trump's deep corruption, but not calling it that, or outlining why it's bad for America.

If we all just ignore Jake Tapper forever, will he go away? I should just mute his name. When I spot it in a post, it's an instant scroll.
