PRAMS is the source of data for basically every effort to limit infant mortality and all the health dangers mothers face before and after birth. So a pretty big deal the Elon and Co decided to cancel the program.

Coming around to the view that a certain kind of narcissist simply needs Musk to be a genius rather than a fraud, because they want to believe there’s a hereditary Brahmin class of accomplished, beautiful minds—and that they’re a part of that class.

If you post pictures from protests on a computer, copy them, paste them into Paint or similar & use brushes or shapes or crop tools to remove the faces. Then copy from Paint and paste into your post. Phone filters can be reversed, paste/copy into dumb programs loses the metadata & can't be reversed.

very fun to to hear liberals complain about ‘purity tests’ and as a trans person knowing the test is ‘do you want to kill me and all my friends’

The Antarctic ozone hole won't disappear until ~2060-2075, but it's not growing thanks to the Montreal Protocol phasing out ozone-depleting substances. There's a chance recovering from CO₂ emissions will take a similar path but will take much much longer. ozonewatch.gsfc.nasa.gov/meteorology/...

The NYT, once again, provides free PR for this administration by reprinting their racist/fascist talking points -- rather than engaging in real journalism. This is why we must defend #FreedomtoLearn in K-12 so young people can read critically, spot the propaganda, & seek out independent media.

“far left extremists” to them also means environmentalists. there is a serious concern of their next steps being labeling anyone involved w lists of words including things like “ecology, sustainability or climate” as terrorists—and issuing consequences Benn a goal grist.org/article/the-... 🌎

just a reminder, the fascists don’t actually have the power they are projecting yet. they also do not have the means to control every American if they were to try and enact some form of policestate. They cannot control this country and they cannot kill enough of us to stop them from losing control

Ian Fleming's original James Bond novels haven't aged well. For example, Moonraker - published almost exactly 70 years ago in April 1955 - features a villain who's a super-rich industrialist and rocket-maker seeking to cause chaos because he's a secret Nazi. Such a silly idea!

If you're going to post pictures of protests, edit the photo (you can use the "marker" tool to scribble out) to completely obscure everyone's face, screenshot the edited photo, and ONLY POST THE SCREENSHOT

It would be irresponsible of me to not tell you that everyone I talk on the hill tells me the same thing: the bot is heavily discounted by offices. It would be irresponsible of me to lie to you about the efficacy of the tools you're using to try to fight for the future of the republic.

One of the reasons why we have so many fascists so comfortable w/flaunting their fascism is because for more than a decade, a big chunk of media & politicians have looked at open displays of nazism and said "well how can we be SURE maybe they're just being edgy," which plays right into their hands

Interesting thing for the President to say about a person who, according the government’s lawyers, “has no actual or formal authority to make government decisions himself” and “only has the ability to advise the President, or communicate the President’s directives.”

Just look at these paragraphs from the AP story. Hegseth called Brown unqualified solely because he's Black. Then they fired him... and replaced him with a white guy so indisputably unqualified that he requires a Presidential waiver. This is what "merit" means to them. apnews.com/article/trum...

two things: 1) the data collection for this org is mostly researchers from the academia world targeting cohorts mostly within academia, with emphasis on "we will pay you $100ish & a meal to talk to an academic in a group room". not a great place to talk about sex, let alone any personal motivators

no writing goes to waste. every draft rotting in a notebook has helped your writing get where it is now

Brain-work is also part of writing. Walking the dog while you let yourself mull plot points, chatting out character notions with someone, doodling little plot webs or other diagrams—all of that is writing too, not just "I got X words on the page today."

It's also part of a longer historical pattern of extrajudicial violence encouraged by right wing politicians since the 1970s. George Tiller, a doctor who provided late term abortions in Wichita, was assassinated in 2009 while in church.

I don’t understand how there’s any debate about whether to characterize them as Nazis when they’re out here sieg heiling. It’s an absolute failure of messaging not to name and condemn this behavior, and build a narrative around it.
