Hey, artists, in case you were wondering if your work matters: I'm a scientist working on climate change and biodiversity, and I would not be who I am today without The Lorax, The Secret of NIMH, Watership Down, The Last Unicorn, and The X-Files. I know I'm not alone. Thank you for all you do.

The Washington Post and LA Times editorial pages have gone full MAGA, MSNBC has purged all of its anti-Trump anchors, and Twitter is owned by a literal Nazi. Here's why liberal media bias is still a problem.

BREAKING: The Ohio Senate just passed SB 56 by 23-9. This bill subverts the will of 2 million (+) voters who supported Issue 2, dismantles our existing adult-use cannabis laws, and retreats from social justice reforms meant to combat the failed War on Drugs. www.daytondailynews.com/local/ohio-s...

This vote was to start the process of the cuts. It WILL come back for a final vote. There are some chances to slow or potentially stop it. Need constant pressure on GOP Focus on GOP swing seats & key committees. Energy & Commerce is where the Medicaid fight will go down. Ways&Means for tax fight.

I need to tell you about a Russian tech exec named Vladislav Klyushin. He was convicted in the US of orchestrating one of the biggest insider trading cases ever. He was convinced he'd never do real time. That's because Klyushin had a powerful patron in the Kremlin. www.wired.com/story/russia...

Coinbase was being investigated by the SEC so they: - gave $75M a to pro-Trump PAC - gave $1M to Trump’s inauguration - sponsored an inaugural party - hired Trump’s campaign manager - listed Trump’s meme coin And now the investigation is closed. These are called bribes.

This morning at Dept of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) HQ in DC as mandatory return to office began, this video played on loop for ~5 mins on screens throughout the building, per agency source. Building staff couldn’t figure out how to turn it off so sent people to every floor to unplug TVs.

One of my best friends is from a sleepy, wealthy small town in the south-west of Germany. He said, so many of my parents’ neighbours are rich and bored, with little to complain about, and they’ve radicalised themselves at dinner parties and online. In their aimlessness, they’ve bonded over hate.

Prediction: the Nаzi salute will become common within 2 years. RWers will half-аss it for plausible deniability, memeify the backlash, then start fully doing it "as a joke" "to troll the libs" "for being hysterical enough to think we were doing it in the first place"

One reason the school board extremists are so dangerous is that they don’t just have bad politics, they actively HATE public schools. They don’t send their kids to them. They ONLY sit on the BOEs to fuck with OTHER PEOPLES KIDS’ education. It’s deranged. This is in Forest Hills near Cincinnati.

I don’t think it’s been explored nearly enough the distinction in experience of ppl in party politics depending on your locality. e.g. the avg blue city Republican has no clue what their policies are signing rural communities up for, they’re just trying to “own the libs”.
