Just leaving this here as evidence.

When even Boris Johnson says you’re full of it, you’re FULL OF IT.

PLOS has issued a statement on recent US Executive Orders and scientific integrity. We are determined to stand firmly behind our mission, our values and our principles, and against any attempt at censorship or undermining of the core principles of scientific inquiry. plos.io/3D4O8cH

It’s been easy to drown in the bad news lately, but seeing companies, organizations, and even research publishers like PLOS stand up to the bullies is so inspiring and good for the soul! Even the tiniest acts of resistance will help us. I’m so glad to see so many refusing to give up/give in.

I’ve loved Cassandra from day one, but I’ve turned to it more and more as our country enters the “find out” phase of fascism. Do you believe me now?

The Commander in Chief who just can’t seem to spend his time doing normal things or thinking normal thoughts

This has been…a game. Of a sport.

Go Taylor’s boyfriend!!!

I forgot spirit week, specifically today: Taylor and Travis Tuesday 😭

Senator Andy Kim just went to the USAID building, talked to the security guard there to confirm employees are being barred entry, and then did a press gaggle right there in front to call it out. This is doing something. This is making an effort on messaging. Other Democratic lawmakers: take notes.

Thank you Lady Gaga, Shakira, and Chappell for saying what needed to be said

Is Taylor cold because she’s nervous about announcing Rep TV tonight??? 🤡🤡🤡

Aside from the emotions about the LA fires and Taylor Swift and Chappell Roan, this Lady Gaga video is making me lose it? Something about it feels like 2009-2010 nostalgia.

Only if Margaret lets her…

I don’t have time to do the math - if Margaret Qualley is at the Grammys, does that mean Demi Moore gets to come out for the Oscars?

i want to wear his initial on a chain around my upper thigh or something like that

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world. Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

It’s weird bc I’m really, really excited about the Super Bowl and Go Chiefs and all, but I also want to crawl into a hole for the next 4 years due to the political state of our country. My emotions are all over the place.

Mmmm I don’t see this as being enforceable.

Sorry I’m a day late for #HolocaustRemembranceDay, but…just sharing some cards showing some details about some laws some guy passed before some really bad stuff went down at some point… I feel so lucky that I am allowed to teach this information to my students. Info credit to @ushmm.bsky.social

Jim Acosta announces on air that he's leaving CNN and says, "it is never a good time to bow down to a tyrant ... don't give in to the lies."

Where’s the trophy? He just comes running over to me #embroidery

SO HAPPY THAT MY TRAVY MADE IT TO THE BIG GAME

Not much just thinking about “do you believe me now?? What a shame she went mad… DO YOU BELIEVE ME NOW???? They say i DID SOMETHING BAD…”

The argument that men transition just to go in women’s bathrooms is absurd. I can relate to this dude. Once, I had too much to drink & accidentally walked into the women’s restroom. A girl from my daughter’s school said, “Hi, Mr Webb, what are you doing here?” Embarrassing? Yes. Panic? No. Relax!

“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.” Diary of Anne Frank January 13, 1943

These executive orders on banning federally funded entities from recognizing trans people or disallowing them from using the bathroom are not self-executing or immediately enforceable. They require formal rule making at a minimum. They are a scare tactic. Ignore and do not comply in advance.

Besties, i know today is a shitty, scary day for a lot of people, here in the US and all over the globe. I'm scared for myself, my friends, my family, the people I love and care about, and anyone who is going to be obviously targeted by TSMWEL. Just know you have a safe space here with me. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️💖🫶🏻

Can someone explain why TikTok is a bigger national security concern than a social media platform run by a South African technofeudal oligarch actively interfering in our elections and sabotaging our national interests here and abroad?

Teaching the Holocaust means exposing my students to the fact that the LGBTQ community was brutalized and largely murdered alongside the Jewish population from 1933-1945. For my LGBTQ kids, it always tugs at my heart to see their facial expressions as they realize they would have been targeted, too.

Corporations give money to Trump because they, like him, only care about themselves.

Women who have wealth have a record of charity and giving... Beyonce, Taylor Swift, Oprah, Ellen etc... they donate books, they give to food banks and homeless shelters... they contribute to their communities. Men who have wealth spend it on trips to space, and to the titanic, and presidents etc...

Whoever runs The Carter Center socials & the photographer that captured this shot are national HEROES. There is something so beautifully poetic about a narcissist being eclipsed by a statue of someone else 😭

Occasional reminder that there’s no, “it’s too late, its over” for anthropogenic climate change. Every molecule of CO2 that doesn’t go into the atmosphere makes a difference. Preventing 0.1 degree of warming makes a difference. Every bit of climate resilience we build together makes a difference.

For the first time possibly ever, but at least the first time since I was in elementary school, I read 25 entire books in a year! And I’m about halfway through three or four more 🤓 #BookSky

Stage 5: he finished the book with a mixture of wonder, awe, and heartache. Asked me how people could have possibly waited to start the next one. BlueSky, I’ve converted him 😈

Stage 4: nausea and more shock

My fiancé is across the room reading the last 25 pages of ACOMAF and I keep looking up from my book go gauge his reactions. So far he has shown shock, despair, and rage 😂

I'm not religious but damn do I love a christian carol. "O Holy Night"? It is if someone's singing that song. "Fall on your knees" ??!! Already down here, buddy. You've knocked me out

Since everyone else is doing it…
