Gov. Mills showed precisely the sort of integrity in the face of political pressure that the majority of the party currently lacks. More importantly, she did so extemporaneously and without hesitation from a purple state where this isn't a universally popular position. www.maine.gov/governor/mil...

Had lunch with friends today. We sat in a crowded restaurant and asked ourselves what it must've been like as the nazis rose to power, and then all three of us looked around at the happy well-fed people and said, "...oh. Right."

The measles outbreak in Texas is reminding me of the public letter Roald Dahl wrote about losing his daughter to measles in 1962, just before the vaccine was publicly available.

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too. EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them. Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)

I spent 18 months working for a company run by someone who believed in moving fast and breaking things. At the end of that time the CEO closed multiple offices, laid off hundreds of people and put an intellectual property that could have gone everywhere and done anything in a vault.

This. Musk is having 19 year olds do this for exactly the same reason terrorist orgs and gangsters enlist young adults. Everyone higher up is okay with the kids serving jail time or dying if everything goes south, whilst the boys doing the task are too flattered to think why they've been chosen.

Just a reminder that Musk couldn’t get a top level security clearance. And he was under investigation for violating the terms of the clearance he did have. Now he has your Social Security number, your tax returns, and is unilaterally deciding who the government does and does not pay.

Well the award for most cowardly, boot-lickingest academic society has squarely gone to the American Society of Microbiology, who has taken down features of various non-white scientists. Absolutely pathetic behavior. Those articles are now coming up as “under review”. Truly sickening cowardice here.

Do you know Akash Bobba, Edward Coristine, Luke Farritor, Gautier Cole Killian, Gavin Kliger, and Ethan Shaotran? They are the engineers identified as being the ones Musk is using to takeover the government. If so, explain to them why what they are doing is going to get them in a lot of trouble.

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

I may be seen as biased for this since I work in public media, but: Support public media. Watch PBS, listen to NPR, donate to your local stations if you can. I work in independent journalism because I believe in how important it is.

@whitehouse.senate.gov RFK Jr. is the most dangerous Trump appointment in a slate full of traitors, drunks, and racists. He will work to destroy our healthcare system and put millions at risk with his anti-vaccine crusade. If you vote to confirm him, you can kiss your own seat goodbye.
