Earlier this year, paleontologist Jared Voris showed me a cast of a strange snout. It belonged to a small tyrannosaur set to change our understanding of how carnivorous giants like T. rex evolved. Now I can tell you the story. My latest for NatGeo. đź§Ş

I think the main thing is he wants vital emergency relief to be personalized rather than institutionalized. It’s not that the federal government won’t aid states hit by disasters; it’s that he wants them to kneel & beg him personally.

Omgomgomgomgomgomg!

For white ppl who say your great grandparents came to the U.S. “legally,” remember that U.S. immmig law was EXPLICITLY racist in favor of white Northern European immigrants for most of the 20th century. Affirmative action for white ppl is everywhere if you look. www.lbjlibrary.org/news-and-pre...

god bless this tiktoker who ran towards the shooting

The disparity btwn what’s actually happening in Los Angeles and the way it’s being mischaracterized is one of the biggest stress tests of modern media in recent memory. Botted socials, AI, old clips, declining literacy—it’s like seeing a broken emergency response system hit by a storm.

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving. There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later. They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

PHILLY: Man posing as an ICE agent robs car repair business, ties up and manhandles a woman from the Dominican Republic — “He kept saying he is immigration officer.” It was only a matter of time before these masked vigilantes breed impersonators. www.fox29.com/video/1501153

ICE interrogated a *US born* friend for 3+ hrs because of the color of their skin. Agents interrupted class & called them into a campus office. Triple checked birth certificate/DL/SSN, then interviewed colleagues about the person's "immigration" status. Citizen Y Hispanic name N Speaks Spanish N 1/x

Sources: The Utah Jazz will promote Marquis Newman to Director of Pro Scouting and Katie Benzan to Salt Lake City Stars G League General Manager. Newman has spent 11 years with Utah. Benzan is the second current female G League GM and played for the WNBA’s Mystics before joining the Jazz in 2022.

While President Trump's military parade takes place on June 14, people across the country are mobilizing to protest the administration's attacks on our rights. Before you hit the streets, join us for our Know Your Rights training on Tuesday, June 10 at 7pm ET (4pm PT). RSVP at aclu.org/kyrtraining.

Great question. “From the ground up” doesn’t mean bypassing politics, it means rebuilding the conditions that make democratic politics work in the first place. A quick thread on how I see the road ahead 🧵

Fascists want to provoke violence so they can justify crackdowns and get some good footage to distort for state propaganda outlets

Reminiscent of Trump betraying the Kurds during his first term. He has no loyalty, especially for Brown/Black people.

Given the counter protests next Saturday on Trump's parade day, I'm not entirely sure he's thought through what the imagery is going to be framed as

Greetings! A large immigration operation and subsequent protest in Paramount, CA has led to a large amount of gas and “less lethal” munitions. Situation ongoing. Will update as I can.

"So here's the plan -- we impose massive tariffs on the nations that sell us food." "Hmm." "But it's OK, because we just rely more on states like California that grow a lot of the same things." "Oh, I guess that ..." "And then we go to war with California."

It's so so important to understand that these technologies are absolutely failing within a market context, they all lose a ton of money and are set to lose more, the only path to profit for these vultures is to attach themselves to educational and government institutions.

1. DOJ decides to investigate a 3-year old traffic stop that resulted in no charges. 2. DOJ interviews a convicted felon in prison to brainstorm about this non-event traffic stop & leaves w/ a story of trafficking 1,000+ migrants. 3. This is *after* Garcia was ordered returned to U.S. GTFOOH

Re-upping this:

I surmise the charges will be quietly dropped in approximately 60d

One after another access journalist is reporting a convo with Trump where Trump says Musk has a problem. None asked why Trump let him have unfettered access to the govt, and our data, for the last four months, then. And what he'll do to make sure Musk didn't do permanent damage.

Damn, Pacers. #tipofthehat

You gotta be shitting me, Tyrese

Siakam is going to have to be unbelievable for Indiana to have a chance in the series. He's the only Indiana player that can get a consistent mismatch against OKC. #NBAFinals

The worst part of these NBA finals is Stephen A on the halftime show. But the face of Bob Meyers while Stephen A is talking is a perk (no pun intended).

TEXAS: Trump said ICE raided a “Tren De Aragua Gathering” — turns out it was a birthday party, with kids, and nobody had a criminal record. www.texastribune.org/2025/06/04/t...

Kudos to Microsoft for having this image in their stock background images.

Mountainhead is so spot-on.

CBO finds that the reconciliation bill (10.9 million) combined with the expiration of premium tax credits and new marketplace rule (5.1 million) would result in 16 million people fewer being insured www.cbo.gov/system/files...

She sounds like a miserable human being.

People love to make jokes about the people who work for the government—but, actually, these are your family, friends, neighbors. And there are huge numbers of genuinely public-spirited, public-service oriented people trying to do their best for their fellow citizens. 1/2

“If a homeowner is thinking about solar and can afford it, now would be the time.” House Republicans want to end federal tax credits that help make solar affordable. If that happens, it could upend the economic calculus of powering a home with sunlight.

It's ok if you're not ready yet, but when you are I hope you have good and loving people to welcome you into their arms.

Trump’s parade. 45 million total cost with an estimated 16 million in damages to D.C. streets. www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn...

Six victims aged between 67 and 88. Which means some of them were alive the last time Jews were set on fire purely for being Jewish.

It seems so obvious that it shouldn't need to be said, but here we are...

I was making Palomas but I also had a guava Monster Energy so I substituted it for the Squirt. It's delicious and a delightful pink color.

This Pride month, don’t forget about the trans and gnc activists who made this happen. People like Sylvia Rivera and Marsha P Johnson, whose leadership at Stonewall has now been stricken from all government websites by a Trump administration that wants us erased from history.

This guy has murdered hundreds of thousands of people this year, most of them children.
