I guess I shouldn't tease the name Blue-throated Goldentail without showing the golden tail! At @tapirvalley.bsky.social #CostaRica #birds #hummingbirds #nature

Bro they lobotomized your aunt

We can judge our progress by the courage of our questions and the depth of our answers, our willingness to embrace what is true rather than what feels good.

“We are, each of us, largely responsible for what gets put into our brains, for what, as adults, we wind up caring for and knowing about. No longer at the mercy of the reptile brain, we can change ourselves.” - Carl Sagan, Cosmos

I have three bottles of champagne set aside. One for her, one for the oligarch, and one for the dictator. And I intend to live to drink all three.

WOW. One of the Venezuelans whom Kristi Noem tried to render to El Salvador's slave prison managed to avoid removal and was able to make it to immigration court, and you'll never guess what happened: THE GOVERNMENT GAVE NO EVIDENCE OF HIS GANG MEMBERSHIP. Due process ftw

My husband has taught human reproduction and development to the Cambridge medics for over three decades. When people start banging on about "only two biological sexes" he starts with "which sex: genetic, hormonal, or gonadal"? Biological sex is not binary. www.scientificamerican.com/article/sex-...

RFK Jr. wants to eradicate autistic people and also has no idea what an autistic person is

When the “first hundred days” coverage starts, keep this in mind. FDR’s hundred days was a special session of Congress that passed legislation to enact his agenda. The story here is *not* how active the Trump administration’s been—it’s the unprecedented and unconstitutional consolidation of power.

🚀🚀

Since the Trump admin continues to claim Mr. Abrego Garcia is a gang member, I thought I'd take the time to put together a timeline, based on all the documents filed in court, which lays out all the "evidence" the government has ever offered. As you'll find out, there's very little "there" there!

Breaking News: We are totally fucked

Just gonna stay off this app, I already know Vance is an idiot and anything else is going to get me deported to a slave labor camp in a county run by a bobblehead

It is pretty wild to think of Barack Obama sitting with someone from Central America and going “well uhhhh I think it would be a good idea to uhhhh send American citizens to your secret prisons” and the media just being like oh ok that’s dope man anyways how about TARIFFS

going to need to start hearing from governors what they intend to do to protect residents of their states from the federal government

My mind implies that I exist although I can't rely on his advice I want to watch the Earth evolve with time an object I control And I can take my head off Is it any wonder Is it any wonder That I have no idea

Booker: "This isn't just about Mr. Garcia. This is about every American understanding that this president is making an assault on the due process rights that are afforded to people in our country ... you cannot disappear people off American streets."

Paint representation of a diorama I made with my mom when i was a kid, Googly eyes and pipecleaner legs - lives in sugar sand with a popsicle stick palm tree and beach house all contained in a small portable box so he can take vacation wherever he goes.

There's something in the distance 👀

Trump's tariffs have taken our economy from the envy of the world to a laughingstock. Congress has the chance to stop him by passing my bipartisan bill. Let's get this done.

Stocks rose because, basically, this time Dad’s *absolutely* going to show up to my baseball game, and he promises to be sober! This is pathetic.

So we bounced 8% on a fake headline, sold off when people realized it was fake, and then bounced again when it occurred to people that if we bounced that much on a fake headline imagine how much we'd bounce on a hypothetical real one.

Early days of AI gen were so unhinged, can't believe what they could make without issue.

the world of finance abandoned the beauties of Woke for the dark and evil fruits of anti-woke sentiment and edginess and their reward for embracing the hateful culture war was complete collapse of their money

Jesse Welles - The Poor | Mississippi Studios, Portland Unbelievably incredible show. Got to see him walking around during the sunset before the show and say hi. We should listen to what he has to say. #folk #welles @wellesmusic13.bsky.social

Corey Fucking Booker, a new record, saying substantial commentary the entire time. Absolutely inspiring. Thank you. You stepped up, I hope the people, ans the party, listen. Not sure i expect anything thought.

👍

Just so everybody understands, Booker has been speaking cogently about the issues the entire time and Strom Thurmond famously spent hours reading from the encyclopedia, because segregationists were and are dumbshits

"You eat from banquet tables of blessings prepared for you by your ancestors, you must metabolize those blessings - not so you can pay your ancestors back, but so you can pay it forward... Life isn't about the degrees you get, but the service you give" @booker.senate.gov #filibuster #20hours

Thank you for this @booker.senate.gov - Powerful, cathartic, needs to be deeply internalized by all of us. 18 hours in, very inspiring. I hope this is the spark that really builds momentum for new governance, and renewed faith in the power of We the People. @democrats.org #filibuster #booker

Time to speak up

You have to see this. PoliticsGirl and her husband teamed up with the brilliant Timothy Snyder (author of On Tyranny) and the legendary John Lithgow to create something truly powerful. It’s important, it’s urgent—and it needs to be shared far and wide.

Everything Conservatives said they valued over my entire life, the things they claimed separated them from "lawlesslibs" has all turned out to be complete bullshit. Im embarrassed to live here

France’s institutions defended its democracy, upholding the law. South Korea’s institutions defended its democracy, upholding the law. Brazil’s institutions defended its democracy, upholding the law. Only America’s decided a criminal must be allowed to break its laws and destroy its democracy.

Oh my fucking god. It looks like Israel murdered eight Palestine Red Crescent Society workers, a UN employee, and five civil defense staff. They crushed up and buried entire ambulances and civil defense vehicles in the fucking mass grave. www.cnn.com/2025/03/31/m...

This needs to be said louder and louder every day... www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

going to start calling myself a centrist and then listing all my leftist views as proof, just going to start moving the overton window by force

This is what corruption looks like.

Trump says he doesn’t know what Signal is

WELKER: Do you believe that Ratcliffe and Gabbard were truthful when they testified before your committee? BENNET: No. I think they lied repeatedly to our committee and to the House committee.

Pathetic spineless scum, no integrity, no care, no interest besides their own. God these people are so pathetic, they will be forgotten just like everyone else but will have wasted their time here being angry, miserable, and hurting others. Unfortunate that none of them will ever feel shame.
