Many of us are struggling with a desperate sense of urgency while it seems so many others are asleep. It was 2.5 years from the Boston Tea Party to the Declaration of Independence. We've had 3 months. That war was won because day after day, people chose to keep going Keep going friends. Goodnight💚

I guess budget savings to fund ‘golf weekends’, take precedence over saving lives. I’ll never understand the Republican aversion to life saving programs & healthcare for Americans…

This drives me mad. If polls say voters don’t disapprove of disappearing people to gulags, then the voters are fucked up and need to be persuaded or shamed into decency. You can’t just treat a view like that as an unshakeable given. There’s no modus vivendi with a fundamentally indecent electorate.

Gélineau advanced the term "narcolepsy" in 1880 while de la Tourette described his eponymous syndrome in 1885. "Autism" was coined by Bleuler in 1911, with full diagnoses soon after. But what do I know? I'm not the Cabinet secretary in charge of the goddamn Department of Health and Human Services.

The reason civil rights activists called their marches and protests “demonstrations” was because they were staged to demonstrate the evils of discrimination and anti-democratic rule. It’s an essential step in effecting change.

there is simply no amount of child death that will move RFK to change his mind because he is a predatory narcissist who cares less about health than the gratification of his own ego

Was looking through my Junk folder and saw the latest missive from a crank who is convinced that he has proved Einstein wrong (despite most of his "articles" beginning with a misunderstanding of Wikipedia). He has discovered that ChatGPT is unerringly polite, and feels validated in his silliness.

The Massachusetts governor, the city, and the university needs to drop everything to locate and free this girl and make sure this doesn't happen again. This is DEFCON-1. If they do this to someone who wrote an op-ed in a college newspaper, they will do this to anyone they don't like.
