Thank GOODNESS for the Judiciary Branch and for THOSE Biden appointments. BUT even the non-Biden Republican judges are coming through for the PEOPLE. As Maine Governor, Janet Mills said to Donald Trump himself today when he tried and failed to bully her: SEE YOU IN COURT BRAVO! NEVER GIVE UP HOPE!🙏

If you still have friends/family who think this administration will help them, talk to them about money....

The bird flu is coming. And the new virus from China. And we are ill prepared

There's world where 🧪 and #scicomm influencers play the game and win.

I've been thinking a lot about "slow science" recently, about pushing against the breakneck pace (especially in data science/ML). Feel like I needed to read this. #academicsky 🧪 ⚗️ #compchem

WHAT. Ecuador's government recently authorized a U.S. military base on the Galápagos Islands. NO. No no no no no no noooooooo NO 🧪 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

"We believe that for science to maximally benefit society and inform policy, its core principles—integrity, transparency, inclusivity, and collaboration—must be upheld" 🧪🎓🔓

Hooray! Nothing terrible has ever been spread by rats… 😟😖😵 So glad we’re dismantling science rn 🧪

We will not be prepared for the next pandemic (possibly in months) because Science Research and Public Health are being gutted by the Republican administration.

apologies to Magee Marsh in OH, but the best forest boardwalk in the entire eastern timezone of the US is the Audubon Corkscrew Swamp in Collier County, FL example: here is a RANDOM PUPPY PILE of sleeping otters also, they do actual science re hydrology for SW FL: tinyurl.com/4cm8pnpv 🌿🌏🧪

mask up

I have many bad thoughts after reading this. Thoughts that involve the words plague and culling. I won't say these thoughts out loud. I used to, but then a bitch called SarscoV2 showed me, careful what you wish for. #protect #conserve #dontbeagarbagehumanffs

Here we go again. I haven’t recovered from long Covid 😩😷‼️ #China discovers new bat coronavirus that poses risk of animal-to-human transmission #health www.aa.com.tr/en/asia-paci...

Like I said a month ago, I really think this is going to advance to a full pandemic in humans in the next 4 months. I get the same gut visceral reaction on this as I did on Covid 3 months before it became a full on pandemic. Please mask up if you haven't yet.

Bird flu is an infection from a type of influenza virus. Sometimes, humans can get bird flu from infected animals. For example: in Texas a farm worker was infected from a sick cow in May, 2024 and he experienced intense bleeding from the eyes. His eyes hemorrhaged. #houston #birdflu #H5N1 #masks

My dear #Witches #Witchsky, and non-witchy folk, Here in my red state, there are 2000 people in hospital for flu. There is C19 out there, and various spread by air sicknesses. Please wear an N95. Wash your hands and carry sanitizer. Stay with us; we must look out for each other.

well-before makes nice masks that are comfy and seal well on our big heads/faces (and i have high cheekbones and a low nose bridge) AND, more importantly, don't trigger my chemical allergies they're back in stock n99 with a rubber-y gasket: wellbefore.com/products/wel...

We had to literally drag folks kicking and screaming to get vaccinated for Covid and wear a mask. Now there's a new Covid and we got a Dickhead in Chief whose dismantled so much shit in the federal govt that we can't do shit about it.

As of this morning: Over 206,000 children have benefitted from our nation-leading Child Tax Credit, with nearly $270 million going into the pockets of hardworking Minnesotans.   Let’s keep it going!

"Government by organized money is just as dangerous as Government by organized mob."  —FDR, 1936

Jasmine Crockett is shredding this solo. But it’s past time for the rhythm section to enter this song already.

"Hochul is dithering about whether to use her powers. AOC, in contrast, exercised her 1st Amendment rights to inform her constituents about their 4th Amendment rights. In doing so, she showed that the administration is tyrannical. She also showed that it’s weak — if you’re willing to confront it."

@jenpsaki.msnbc.com: "Inspectors general are a headache for everyone. You know why? Because they're investigating every agency and they find stuff! Including waste and fraud and abuse! They wouldn't be firing them if they cared about waste, fraud, and abuse."

As Trump empowers Russia and the far right, he is laying the foundation for undermining democracies around the world. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2025/feb/20/trump-musk-oligarchy-russia-far-right

I have identified at least two dozen pardoned Capitol Rioters that are currently attending CPAC in Washington, D.C. —including members of far right extremists groups such as the Proud Boys and the Oath Keepers. Updates on Pardon Tracker's interactive visualization: embed.kumu.io/39b5108ec4a0...

Add scam phone calls and you got a HIT!

I just wanna congratulate @meidastouch.com for beating Joe Rogan, and thank them for recommending my Substack. Indie media FTW! Check theirs out here: www.meidasplus.com

New: DOGE's spending has been secret. No longer. My colleagues have uncovered it. www.propublica.org/article/doge...

Carville: USAID spent $41 billion the federal budget is 6 trillion. Actually comes to something like .014%. So take that and put it against the 6 trillion and see what you have done when your president is responsible for more federal debt than any president in the history of the United States.

ProPublica has released another study related to the effects of abortion bans in the U.S., this time showing a spike in sepsis cases in Texas following the implementation of that state's "heartbeat" abortion ban in 2021.

When even the New York Post has to publish this, you know you fucked up.

I think most people who are sounding the alarm about democracy assume people understand why it's good and important but I kinda doubt it. And if we follow Russia's example most people may not even notice it gradually disappearing
