Pretzel logic from a GOP strategist on Abby Phillip’s panel last night: “If you want to claim the chair of Joint Chiefs of Staff, Gen C Q Brown was fired based on race, then you’re admitting he was hired based on race.”

Free speech means we can use the vocabulary we need to use in our scientific papers and news articles. #MedSky #AcademicSky #SciSky

If you're interested in the history leading up to the current war in Ukraine, this is a terrific documentary series. The first episodes are about post-WWII Cold War politics, and the last 2-3 episodes cover recent history in Russia and Ukraine. I learned a lot! www.netflix.com/title/81614129

When the wreckage and dust of what these people are doing to our country has settled and the people have finally had enough to throw these jackals out of office, we will never forget the people who enabled it, despite their protestations they weren’t willing accomplices. Never.

Americans don't like kings.

Earlier today, JD Vance bashed Biden's economy, saying, "It's easy, unfortunately, to burn the house down. It takes a lot of time to build it back up." Meanwhile ...

People need to understand this: Trump did not leave office willingly the first time. If his health holds up, he will not leave office willingly this time. He is not joking about serving more than two terms.

We all knew this was going to happen, but I still can't believe we've stooped so low. Is there no bottom??

I sort of feel like people would notice dead people in line at the bank.

I STAND WITH UKRAINE 🇺🇦 #SlavaUkraine!

Netflix has a great documentary rn that chronicles the rise of the Nazis.The first wave of prisoners sent to concentration camps were the opposition. They shot dissenters in their homes.

Doublethink: "To be conscious of complete truthfulness while telling carefully constructed lies, to hold simultaneously two opinions which cancelled out ... to believe that democracy was impossible and that the Party was the guardian of democracy..."

Quelle surprise, the NYT normalizing the Anschluss of Canada by the United States. Well put, Michigan Crow. This is Bizarro world.

Hey @nytimes.com, when did you become The Onion?

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

Heard someone say it's great probationary employees are being fired because they must've done something bad. WRONG! Probationary hires are proving themselves before getting a permanent contract--often young ppl in their first jobs. They're being fired because it's legally easy to do so.
