As a person who teaches down the hall from many a social studies teacher, US History teachers are lucky to reach 9/11. Hopefully we can lose this batshit stuff before they figure out how to cover 20 additional years.

the 7th Apollo launch successfully carried a crew. the 8th took people to lunar orbit. the 11th landed people on the moon. "starship" has launched 9 times and each one has exploded. at this point, they're just very expensive fireworks.

I still think the best idea for progressive donors is to just revive every alt-weekly in the country and staff them with 10 reporters each.

Every year on Memorial Day, I share this video of French caretakers who take sand from Omaha Beach in Normandy, and scrub them into the letters to give them the gold coloring. They do this for all 9,386 US soldiers who died. France also gave us this land as American soil.

More than 9,000 American service members are buried at Normandy, where they died to protect democracy. We owe not just gratitude, but eternal vigilance to them and all who have sacrificed their lives for our country. #MemorialDay

They blame pollution but cut the EPA and clean air and water regulations. They blame poor nutrition but cut SNAP and programs to bring local produce to schools. They blame increased screen time while destroying public infrastructure that connects people. All while they take millions off healthcare.

Three things made the US a rich and powerful nation: the rule of law, its science & innovation system, and openness to foreign talent. Remarkable how Trump has taken a sledgehammer to all three. No enemy of this country could do more.

You have three days, starting today, to leave a public comment with the FDA about, say, why COVID-19 boosters should remain available to everyone and also free. "Individual consumer" is the category you most likely want (unless you are one of the other categories; if so, choose that).

I am morally outraged, first. But also: if and when this admin cares about the trade balance, this is the stupidest possible policies. We at universities export services every day. No foreign students, bye bye exports.

when i was a child, my family took CHIP and food stamps. this shaped my entire orientation toward government programs (positive) in a way most pundits don't have access to. and also, not to brag, but i think my siblings and i are proof that the ROI on feeding children is very high

Huge news out of Nebraska: Democrat John Ewing just flipped the mayor's office in Omaha, the state's biggest city. He successfully tied the GOP incumbent to Trump. She responded by claiming Ewing "stands with radicals" on "boys in girls' bathrooms and sports." It didn't work. Our full writeup -->

Calling the school voucher push a “movement” when it’s been entirely created by 3 right-wing billionaires is like calling a bank heist a charity auction. And if you believe the folks cutting Medicaid have the middle class in mind with vouchers, I have a Qatari jet to gift you.
