Ok so yeah, this has quickly become the #1 misunderstanding about the canceled grants the grants are not “subsidies” or “entitlements” to Harvard or Princeton or whatever they aren’t going into universities’ endowments they are competitive contracts won by these universities to do research

The government has produced zero evidence that Rümeysa Öztürk has committed a crime. She is a dedicated student detained in retaliation for her co-authorship of an op-ed. We thank Senators Warren and Markey and Congresswoman Pressley for demanding answers. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/04/18/m...

I worked with Karim as a teenager at a restaurant. it’s been over a decade since then, but I’ll always remember his exuberant kindness. I’m heartbroken to see this happen to him.

i think that careful study of the American right could have led you to predict this. but also, just utilizing a framework of “modern republicans are irredeemably vile” will reliably get you 99% of the way there.

"The left went too far" in contemporary U.S. politics is almost always a lie and a very convenient way to rationalize moral failure. For example, "MeToo went too far" replaces "I do not care about sexual violence or its victims and I don't want to have to even feel bad about that"

We cannot tolerate Dems who want to just “turn the page” and “focus on the future”. Merrick Garland is how we fucking got here. Swift, hard legal accountability for all these people is absolutely the only way forward Also ICE must be abolished, that is not an extreme fringe position

Keep talking about the Signal security lapse at the Pentagon. The media may have forgotten about it, but the voters have not.

It's wild to think that all we need is another twenty or thirty of these experiments across larger sample sizes for a longer period and maybe at that point we as a nation would be willing to admit it would work in Europe but not in America

Data brokers turn billions of dollars in profit from the sale of our cellphone location data. It’s time to put PEOPLE over PROFIT and protect us all from this dangerous industry. Tell lawmakers to end the sale of location data by passing the Location Shield Act: action.aclu.org/send-message...

So which Dem Senators are gonna betray us in the Screw American Voters Everywhere (SAVE) Act? The fact that we have beg any Dem in Congress not to vote for this is insane. They should be telling the GOP to fuck off on instinct. THIS would be the time for Cory Booker to filibuster for real.

A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die. Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.

It's been a while since I've done this, and the world is bleak - so we can all use a little art & creativity. What is everyone creating nowadays? Games, art, music, video, writing, anything - whether it is early, almost done, or just shipped. Feel free to include trailers, images, links - whatever.

Chuck Schumer Helps Pull Democrats Back From Brink Of Courage

Hey, remember when so many elected Democrats publicly called for Joe Biden to drop out of the race that he actually did? We need Democrats doing that now with Chuck Schumer. @schumer.senate.gov is unfit. #ResignSchumer

This is insane. Every consultant or advisor who has planted this idea in his head should be fired. Then Schumer should resign.

Virginians: please call Tim Kaine ASAP. He says this morning he's willing to give up his only leverage by voting for cloture if he also gets a vote on a clean funding bill that Republicans will obviously kill. He thinks you're stupid. Tell him you're watching: NO ON CLOTURE, KAINE! (202) 224-4024.

This is just a big pump and dump scam Trump is running. He imposes tariffs, his buddies buy up depressed stock, then he backs off tariffs... for a month. Stock goes back up and they get rich.
