“Would you have been brave enough to walk across that bridge?” Said by Jane Fonda tonight during her SAG lifetime achievement award speech, referring to the relationship of the past to the historic moment we are in now.

Just a reminder that we are around a 1.5 degree C rise right now and are headed for 2 degrees C within 20 years. Don't believe the PR spin from the fossil fuel industry. #ClimateChange

Boos for local GOP representatives like what happened yesterday in Wisconsin is an example of how we can help turn this thing around. #idiocracy

The start of Spring Training is a reminder that MLB desperately needs a comprehensive economic system that includes team salary caps and team salary floors. The competition needs to be on the field and not in the boardroom. #MLB

We all knew that Trump would cozy up to Russia. Dictators and wannabe dictators flock together. #traitor

Firing the Inspector Generals is a curious way to fight waste and fraud. #idiocracy

Basing your decisions on what some made-up supernatural deity might think instead of on the evidence is a recipe for making bad decisions. #atheist

The world would be better if there was less childhood religious indoctrination. #atheist

The Trump administration should stop fighting culture wars and start caring for the American people. #Idiocracy

Trump paving over the White House rose garden is a perfect metaphor for what he is doing to the good parts of our once great nation. #idiocracy

The Senate confirming RFK Jr. to be the head of HHS is all wrong. What are they thinking?

These reports of Trump's late night meltdowns illustrate how #unfit he is to be President. #25thAmendment

Trump has put us in a constitutional crisis already with his rejection of several court rulings with 46+ months left in his term.

My guess is that #Mahomes will get two of his patented fake roughing-the-passer calls thrown against the Eagles defenders today. #SuperBowl

#DOGE and #Musk do not have the legal authority to access our government's private information including all of our SSNs. The new lawsuit about this must result in an immediate injunction.

Watching the Grammys reminds me that if you are different or weird and live in a red state, move to California. Out here, it is what you do that matters.

White male privilege, golf clubhouse hires hurt everyone except that one dude because you end up with a less qualified person. #DEI

Get ready for #stagflation, simultaneous inflation and recession, caused by Trump’s ridiculous #tariffs.

Get ready for a new bout of #inflation caused by Trump's ridiculous new #tariffs.

#Trump blaming the DC crash on DEI in a fact-free environment is appalling. How about we blame it on a white male privilege, golf clubhouse hire instead. The one fact that has come out is that the air traffic control was understaffed at that moment. How about we start with that instead of #DEI.

Having #RFKJr. running HHS is like having Bozo the Clown run the National Academy of Sciences. #idiocracy

#UnlikelyParanormalEvents - a pair of Patagonian deer swimming all of the way from Argentina to the Middle East to make it onto Noah's Ark.

Just a reminder that #Trump obviously has a mental disorder, malignant #narcissism, that leaves him vulnerable to manipulation.

Trump's nominees are a clown car full of incompetence and fawning.

Eliminating #FEMA makes as much sense as banning fire insurance.

Yes, the Dodgers and Yankees are ruining the game. #Baseball desperately needs a comprehensive economic system of team payroll caps and minimums to ensure that the competition takes place on the field and not in the boardroom.

The social behavior of some of the advanced marine mammals such as orcas show clear markers of culture with complex behaviors and language passed down amongst extended family groups.

#Birthright citizenship is written in the plain language of the 14th Amendment of the #Constitution. Our courts must uphold this fundamental right. #SCOTUS

I’m focusing on remembering the legacy of Martin Luther King Jr. today. #MLKDay2025

#ThankYouJoe

#IAmAnAtheistBecause humans aren't the only species with morality. My dog has a finely tuned sense of justice and fair play.

The #Trump 47 presidency will inevitably be dishonorable and historically bad.

We all know already that #Trump has malignant narcissism combined with some #dementia.

Just a reminder that in 2013, AG nominee #PamBondi accepted a bribe from Trump to not pursue the Florida portion of the #TrumpUniversity fraud case.

Goldman Sachs has predicted that the price of #EV battery packs will drop by another 50% by 2026. This should drive the price of electric vehicles even farther below the price of gasoline-powered vehicles and further their mass adoption. #ClimateChange

When someone says "this bad thing happened because of a DEI hire", the response should be "no, that bad thing happened because of white privilege hiring." A variant of the response adds " because of a century of white privilege hiring." #DEIHire

When someone says "DEI hire", respond with "white privilege hire". #DEIHire

Thankfully, I had a lower ratio of bot new followers to real new followers today for some reason.

If you own your home in a climate change red zone, now is the perfect moment to sell and move north. Trump hasn’t yet crashed the economy, and the impacts of climate change are still in their toddler phase. #ClimateChange

Biden’s final strong jobs report shows what a masterful job that he did with the economy. He executed a perfect soft landing from the global post-COVID stimulus. #ThankYouJoe

Hard to believe that it was only a 5-4 decision by #SCOTUS to allow NY to sentence Trump tomorrow. Two NY appeals courts laughed him out of court. Thomas, Alito, Gorsuch and Kavanaugh are in Trump’s pocket.

It is up to us to #resist Trump's desire to turn our beautiful country into a #fascist dystopia.

If you live in one of the climate change red zones such as Phoenix or Florida, it might be time to consider a move north. #ClimateChange

Four years ago today was a sad day in American history. #January6th

Trump’s #cabinet nominees are a clown car full of grifters and worse, who are united only in their professed loyalty to the Donald. #ClownCar

#BewareOfPeopleWho have both Narcissistic Personality Disorder and the nuclear codes (and some dementia to top it off.)

It is hard for religions these days to keep their followers in the dark as they have done for centuries with Wikipedia and a thousand other online resources only a few keystrokes away. #atheist #humanism
