Can't quite put my finger on why General Brown was fired www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/u...

To the @GOP senators and Congressmen who claim to support Ukraine, you do have some power… if you’re unwilling to exercise it then don’t pretend to care about your country more than your political career:

“Zelensky survived a dozen Russian assassination attempts including a special forces assault on his presidential complex.He stood up to Trump. I’m sure he’ll be deeply impressed to learn our Congressional Republicans live as terrified hostages of their own party leader.” ~ @michaeldweiss.bsky.social

BLACK HISTORY MONTH. 👊🏿

Crockett: "It's just that they're idiots. These are the same guys as it relates to our nuclear stockpile, they're like, 'Oh, wait a minute, we needed those guys? Can we get them back? Oh, we don't know how to.' I don't know how anyone can look at this administration & feel a semblance of confidence"

JD Vance owns AcreTrader, an app that lets wealthy—often foreign—investors buy up U.S. farmland. Guess who’s deliberately tanking farm economies so JD and his billionaire tech buddies can scoop it up for pennies. civileats.com/2024/09/18/j...

Please talk with your loved ones about Ruby Bridges. Read “I Am Ruby Bridges” by Ruby Bridges 💛 The first Black child at an all-white public elementary school in Louisiana. She was only six-years-old when she made history marching into that school. Ruby Bridges is living history. She's only 70!

This. Maybe repubs and dems should demand that Congress hold hearings on this fraud? Get this assertion on the record and under oath? What's the hold up???

As much as I love getting lectured by people in my replies that ACTUALLY the Republicans weren't able to score any points at all against Obama when they were in the minority, I did write a book that covered a lot of this.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

The flying public needs answers. How many FAA personnel were just fired? What positions? And why?

If only more Congress members understood this...

It’s quite clear by now that the answer to “why is the Trump administration doing x terrible thing?” is that they are *trying* to dismantle America and destabilize the entire world.

Octavia Butler was a black female science fiction writer who won several awards for her works, including Hugo, Locus, and Nebula awards. In 1995, Butler became the first science-fiction writer to receive a MacArthur Fellowship.

I have been talking to the media, Time, Fortune, NBC, etc., to explain how the onslaught on science and NIH will impact the health of all Americans. Everyone knows someone who has cancer, heart disease, or depression. Spread the word about how cutting science impacts all. time.com/7216299/nih-...

I’ve been seeing a lot of posts like this one. Hegseth went to Princeton and Harvard. Don’t underestimate your opponents in politics and assume they’re stupid. Some of them are, but don’t fall into that trap.

I was one of those kids that got fed. They didn't care what color you were or about your income, they just did the right thing and I have never forgotten it. We were too poor to afford breakfast.

Because of DOGE, countless Americans are going to die.

Kevin Hassett on Trump's avian flu plan: "What we need to do is have better ways w/ bio-security & medication & so on to make sure that the perimeter doesn't have to kill the chickens. To have a better, smarter, perimeter...they're killing chickens to stop the spread, but chickens don't really fly"

On Feb. 14th I try always to give honor to one of the greatest contributors to American democracy in our nation’s history, Frederick Douglass. Born into slavery, Douglass never knew his actual birthdate, and adopted Feb. 14th as the day. His penetrating insights about our country inspire me daily.

DOJ leadership has put all Public Integrity Section lawyers into a room with 1 hour to decide who will dismiss Adams indictment or else all will be fired. Sending them strength to stand by their oath, which is to support the Constitution, not the president’s political agenda. 🇺🇸

The Indigenous People of North America have decided to go back to calling the Gulf of Mexico, “Chalchiuhtlicueyecatl”. It is what the Nahuatl People originally called it as it is the domain of the goddess Chalchiuhtlicue, who is assoc w/water bodies, including the Gulf of Mexico.

This is not a protest—it’s a crime against private citizens, and no one should support this madness. There are better ways to fight back against Elon Musk.

A reminder: Vladimir Putin could end the war in Ukraine right now, just by ordering his soldiers to go home. No need for treaties or negotiations.

Note the frequency with which the term DEI is now thrown about by Republicans — during racist rants, abstract protests, and every form of dissent in between. DEI has become the new “N-word.” It’s clear that “DEI” has been co-opted by the right as a racial slur — a racist dog-whistle. When…

Happy to report that APA wrote this letter, gathered a coalition across science, and will now pay for ads for it to be disseminated in Science and Chronicle of Higher Ed to spread the word!! unitedsciencealliance.org

BREAKING: NIH admits funding freeze is illegal, will resume issuing grants open.substack.com/pub/populari...

Science benefits all people. A direct attack to the foundations of research threaten the health and welfare of people across the world. #science #research #technology #medicine #health #biology #neuroskyence #STEAM #STEM #unite

This administration is shutting down the pipeline that made US medical research the envy and the model for the world. This impacts all of us as we fail to train the researchers who will make the discoveries that are turned into treatments and cures

James Madison wrote of the necessity of the separation of powers: “The accumulation of all powers, legislative, executive & judiciary, in the same hands, whether of one, a few, or many, whether hereditary, self-appointed, or elected, may justly be pronounced the very definition of tyranny.”

ICYMI: A website called “DEI Watch List” has "published the photos, names and public information of a number of workers [who are mostly Black employees] across health agencies, describing them at one point as 'targets.'"

Trump-Musk purge of the CIA underway as agency pivots to spying on traditional allies like Mexico: A CIA spokesperson said agents unwilling to go along with the administration's plans have been told to resign

Good advice from @realtexaspaul.com eye on the ball and try not to help broligarchs "fill the space"
