This letter is exquisite. No notes

“We’re going to keep touching the stove and also make the stove even hotter”

I talked to the only Department of Education Office for Civil Rights investigator in Alabama, who was terminated in DOGE cuts, for @motherjones.com. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

America First is when we let countries like China take all of our promising young scientists

They are obsessed with finding the "best candidates."

“If you had to guess the leading cause of death for children and young people around the world, what would you say? Malaria perhaps? Pneumonia? Suicide? They’re all high up there, but no, it’s road accidents.”

As an American, it's very funny to watch the UAE Tour, where they spend huge parts of stages on eight-lane highways. Imagine rolling closures on the Mass Pike for a bike race.

I don't think we're talking enough about the fact that the pressure to remove DEI from science means women die.

Josh Kraft is the perfect example of someone who only cares about accessibility and safety when it is politically beneficial to him. If Kraft actually cared, he wouldn't be attacking bike lanes.

Kind of nervous about outdoor riding season. Everyone is either shell shocked and sleep walking through life or evil and emboldened to murder me for a perceived inconvenience.

Firing all the military lawyers seems like a preparation for doing war crimes. amp.cnn.com/cnn/2025/02/...

"In Minnesota alone, well over 100,000 children have 504 plans, designed to adapt their educations in small, usually cost-free, but highly meaningful ways. If your family doesn’t have someone with a 504, someone you know and love does." This is a fantastic example of localizing a national issue.

Currently in a conversation with s/o in the biking community who refuses to understand why we might want a trigger warning on video of traffic incidents resulting in death (because he thinks it "needs to be seen") and the other guy is being SO KIND to this dude & it's keeping me from going OFF but

gotta say this such a fucking cowards way of saying they're firing these officers. "requesting nominations" go fuck yourself

Agreed. There’s no need for passport gender markers.

Firing all of the JAGs (Judge Advocates General)—the top lawyers in each service branch—is just as bad as, if not worse than, firing (most of) the Joint Chiefs.
