I am in downtown Los Angeles right now and it is completely surreal to hear that Trump is sending Marines here. We are listening to mariachi music. People have dogs. There are teenagers here. It is utterly and completely peaceful. Please tell your friends.

No greater example currently of how we are failing the general populace when we attempt to ask concise questions about complex issues.

There are 2 previous historical cases of countries destroying their science and universities, crippling them for decades: Lysenkoism in the USSR and Nazi Germany. The Trump administration will be the 3rd. It's not just budgets but research, institutions, expertise, and training the next generation.

We’re getting perilously close to rounding out the #mtgxfinalfantasy previews without a Curilla card and let me tell you - my XI heart is gonna break

Opponents of transgender rights have claimed not enough research exists on care for trans kids. “However, results from our exhaustive literature searches have led us to the opposite conclusion,” the report commissioned by Utah Republicans states. www.advocate.com/news/utah-go...

You cannot concede even an inch to the right, because it will never be enough. They want total capitulation, not give and take bargaining. Trans people, women's healthcare, Black employment in the federal government- these are all inches that we must fight tooth and nail to protect lest we lose all.
