When I started taking science classes, had NO background. Was afraid to ask questions bc mine were like “Whats DNA?” “is a neuron a cell?” & ppl laughed Prof who helped me catch up said “Always ask naive questions. Sometimes naive questions win Nobel Prizes.” I started asking without fear, still do

At yesterday's protests in Atlanta, police arrested the respected journalist Mario Guevara—clearly ID'd as press and, crucially, known for tirelessly documenting ICE abuses—for livestreaming their crackdown. He was booked on charges of "obstruction" and "pedestrian walking on or along" a roadway.

Whoa! Hats off to ABC News reporter Matt Gutman for keeping his cool yesterday. This LAPD officer needs to be relieved of duty if he can’t handle an alleged “touch” without snapping.

I thought this might be a good time bring some more attention to work by @bennjordan.bsky.social on the dangers of LRADs and other sonic weapons. Here I tried to boil down his most important points 3 to minutes, but you should definitely watch all of his original video.

Remarkable. MSNC: "I want to reiterate this has been 100% peaceful." Seconds later, LA County sheriffs start firing on the crowd. Yet again, "law enforcement" deliberately escalated.

I'm sorry but the largest protest of my lifetime is not the 7th or 8th biggest news story in the country behind "what does Gen Z want from Instagram?" This shit is humiliating. Rearrange your layout to meet this moment. Omitting the thing happening in every American city is malpractice.

The court has ruled in our favor. The Trump Admin is BLOCKED from deploying the federalized National Guard to patrol Los Angeles streets as our case continues. This is a win for the rule of law. What makes America great is our U.S. Constitution. We will never stop fighting to defend it.

Andrew Cuomo is afraid he'll lose, so his donors want you to fear me. His SuperPAC just sent out a mailer that artificially lengthened and darkened my beard. This is blatant Islamophobia—the kind of racism that explains why MAGA billionaires support his campaign.
