There are times when you must speak, not because you are going to change the opposing side, but because if you do not speak, they have changed you.

JD Vance never once condemned Putin by name for indiscriminate bombing of civilian targets that murders children daily in Ukraine. But he’s irate at a couple grandmothers complaining to him about it.

Excellent summation of the depravity we are facing as a nation. “the foundation of democracy is not voting, essential as it is. It is an informed citizenry. That is why one of the paramount jobs of autocrats is to attack education, free thought, ideas, speech, knowledge and facts themselves.”

This isn’t a novel concept, it’s highly popularized. And the fact that we’re seeing this attitude resonate so deeply within the so-called opposition party should alarm the shit out of overton-window watchers.

Elon Musk has a dispute in front of the National Labor Relations Board. So, what did he do? Remove its members. That’s why Democrats are fighting back with the PRO Act – which is holding union busters accountable. youtube.com/shorts/fWpkL...

DOGE is a criminal operation — pillaging people’s highly sensitive family data. There has to be severe accountability for what these people are doing.

“A crucial truth: the only power that Trump, Musk, etc. have is the power to give orders—they don't do much of anything else themselves. The other 300 million of us have the power to not obey them and to support and encourage others who don't.” www.meditationsinanemergency.com/people-get-r...

FFS we asked young white men to be aware that other people exist and to not be date rapists and somehow this became “constant scolding” that drove them to Nazis 😐

Generally speaking I don’t care what presidents do to relax, or how often, but it’s maddening to see this Ozempic fail case out there on his personal links while slashing services from the people who pay for him to suck at golf.

The reason men who become billionaires from government subsidies think scientific research grants are scams is because they are men who became billionaires from government subsidies secured by scams.

Musk says millions of dead people get Social Security. That's a lie. Here's the truth: 30,000 people die a year waiting for an understaffed Social Security to approve disability benefits. Musk's plan to cut Social Security's staff by 50% will make this tragic reality even worse.

Russian missiles keep relentlessly falling on Ukraine, bringing more death and more destruction. Once again, Putin shows he has no interest in peace. We must step up our military support – otherwise, even more Ukrainian civilians will pay the highest price.

Rep Zephyr’s speech flips 13 GOPs, trans bills die in Montana Trans people have been scapegoated so effectively (among older people) that we're flooded with models of how to hate. But when people hear the love behind why we stand up for each other, we win. Bravo, @zoandbehold.bsky.social!

Which is to say: putting the future of NASA and American space exploration/science in the hands of poorly led startups and sociopathic billionaires is not a strategy for lasting success. NASA has always relied on public-private partnerships but adults are not running these companies anymore.

Per @hissgoescobra.bsky.social "Evidence suggests that the Russians are using American satellite imagery to target Ukraine in long-range strikes. At the same time that Ukrainians are cutoff from even commercial US satellite imagery such as Maxar (by the way, f*ck you Maxar)."

5 things Trump did this week 1. Tanked the stock market 2. Falsely claimed Honda was building a new plant in Indiana 3. Flip flopped on tariffs again 4. Suggested the two stranded astronauts could fall in love 5. Flew to Florida to go golf

I'm not sure why we are pretending this has anything to do with "DEI" anymore. There is a systematic effort to purge any acknowledgement that race or racism or gender or misogyny EXIST

Creating a big tent is fine, great even. But that tent has to have a pole, a backbone, a set of values it believes in and policies it supports, otherwise it simply caves in and is no kind of shelter, gathering place or party at all.

Those who would break down the barriers between church & state always imagine their own tribe in charge & making the rules for all. They should imagine the tribe they dislike most having control over their lives. The 2nd scenario will definitely be someone's reality.

Again, what’s worst about this isn’t that Trump is a petty and narcissistic freak supported by sycophants — that’s already priced in — but that so many Americans are willing to demean themselves by pretending this is okay. Trump thrives because America has so many shitbirds.

Someone needs to explain to our Sec of Commerce how capitalism works. America has a GLOBAL TRADE SURPLUS on services. Services have the highest margins and profits of our exports. That is where capital and expertise focused. It is why we dominate in tech globally.
