like all u.s. presidents, there’s no such thing as a pope who doesn’t preside over some evil shit. but francis is the most progressive pope of my lifetime and his death feels like a terrible omen and reward for awful people. the world needs leaders with big hearts, big backbones, and big mouths.

It occurs to me that one helpful talking point that needs repetition until we're sick of it: Mass firing of federal employees will raise unemployment — and mean more qualified people are competing with *you* for good jobs.

not a disagreement here but just want to put a foot down that a "trolling" nazi salute is a nazi salute, it's a meaningless distinction

Yay! I submitted a public comment against requiring ‘gender at birth’ on US passports. I was succinct. I focused on danger to our citizens abroad and on how messy and expensive it’s going to be because of legal challenges at home. See OP for links and guidance.

@maddow.msnbc.com Say their names on your show. The DOGy boys are not minors. They are legal adults committing crimes right in front of us. They are stealing our private information. SAY THEIR NAMES.

I'm seeing this story circulate a lot, and you should know that this (horrible!) killing is so far being investigated as domestic violence, so I'd be wary of treating it as politically motivated unless we learn more

For obvious reasons, the lesson—the internet wisdom—behind ‘don’t feed the trolls’ is applicable to random comment board participants but not the president of the United States. The president and his White House staff spending time fantasizing about a monarchy is not wise to ignore.

It's been clear for years that this would happen. I've been pushing for universal basic income for over a decade, as Mark should have too. People are afraid. They're economically insecure. Tech has been growing inequality and leaving people behind. Meanwhile, AI was trained on all OUR data and work.

"I agree with Trump/Musk on..." No. Fuck no. Stop. Do not pass go. Don't give them *a single inch*. "Oh RFK Jr. wants to make food healthier! Surely I can agree with him on that!" No. You are reading the words in good faith. What those words actually mean is "people die of food-borne illnesses".

So I mostly think this is happening because MAGA is run by people too stupid to understand where this country's wealth and power comes from, but I also think they'd rather be kings of a shitty country than citizens of a good one.

Modern medicine still has no treatment for deadly measles encephalitis. Only vaccination prevents it. Get your kids vaccinated with MMR. Adults need MMR boosters.

It’s been buried in all the news today, but every scientist in the US should pay attention to this: Mike Lauer went out on a limb for us all, sending out a memo saying institutes should start awarding grants. And it looks like Trump/Musk fired him for that. 🧪

Waging a procedural war and an information war will at least delay — and possibly prevent — an actual war. I don't get why Democratic leaders don't see the necessity here.

In case anyone was unclear what it means to be ‘ratioed,’ this is it. 1000 replies. Fewer than 100 likes. (WTF PBS?!! You’re putting The Onion out of business!)
