Used this analogy when explaining to the teen, but to point out that in the end, when the hyenas realize Scar has destroyed everything, they turn on him. Simba doesn't kill him; his own underlings tear him apart.

Good morning. Today is the 80th day that the U.S. President is running a backdoor bribery scheme in which any CEO or foreign oligarch can send him money secretly through his crypto coin scam in exchange for favors. It's the biggest scandal in the history of the Presidency.

👇🎯 We are having trouble using proper terminology because it requires us to fully accept exactly what has happened to our country & wrestle with the fact that every single one of our elected representatives in Congress is violating their oaths of office by not immediately impeaching & removing him.

A "big step forward" in therapy for GI cancers, including colorectal cancer, is being "delayed" (or prevented?) by NIH layoffs & policy changes. Colorectal cancer is the #3 cancer killer among men & #4 among women, btw. About 54,000 US deaths/year, & rising. www.washingtonpost.com/science/2025...

A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die. Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.

What's absolutely wild about this is the way they've manufactured a global financial crisis for no reason at all. This isn't 2007-08, where it was a bubble bursting. This is taking a relatively thriving economy and deliberately destroying it in the first three months of your presidency.

The US is undergoing the worst self-inflicted destruction of health, education, and knowledge creation infrastructure since the great leap forward. We will all be substantially less educated, poorer, and sicker while millions will die from completely preventable causes. It's civilizational suicide.

After 24 hours on his feet, Cory Booker is defending the scientific research establishment of this country - calling out an experience like the one that drives me and SO MANY of my fellow scientists to do the work we do - that maybe we can do for others what we couldn't for our own loved ones.

Twenty-four hours into his time, Sen. Booker just passionately defended public science and universities-- which, at their best, are cornerstones of democracy and a powerful tool for collective liberation (which is why they've been so aggressively attacked). Thank you, Senator.

I was wondering when this was going to come up. I mean, I don’t even know what’s possible but people who have some power really ought to consider about removing it based on what’s happening lately. Even to start talking about this sort of thing might help push people a little bit.

Cory Booker has just broken Strom Thurmond's record for longest Senate filibuster ever, which stood for 68 years. Thurmond set it objecting to the Civil Rights Act of 1957. Booker set it arguing against authoritarianism. May Strom's name be forgotten and his memory erased.

There is no “novel legal theory” about a third term, as some reporters are parroting. It’s not legal, and the idea of seizing permanent power isn’t a “theory,” it’s just what dictators do.

Three standard misperceptions about universities: 1. Professors’ main job is teaching. 🧑‍🏫 2. We get four months off in the summer. 🍹 3. Upper admin’s main focus is protecting academic freedom rather than increasing profits. 💸

The U.S. higher education system is a key pillar of local economies, engine of economic mobility, and driver of national innovation. I’m tired of it being attacked. It’s a major sector of the U.S. economy!

Ever since law school, I've always thought the actual case or controversy requirement of federal litigation was extremely stupid. We can't challenge zombie laws that are unconstitutional until someone actually decides to abuse it and by then it's too late. I'm talking about the Allen Enemies Act.

ppl arguing about whether the admin is stupid or craven or evil or what-have-you -- it does not matter why they're doing what they're doing. if a guy is going to stab me I don't care what his motivation is. I address the urgent question of getting stabbed less. we can dwell on particulars later
