Dear world: many many many of us are appalled and mortified and in despair over this. Please try to remember that.

Dems can't talk about the corporate + billionaire takeover of the Republican-led government while still answering to its own corp + billionaire donors. We can't serve two masters. We can’t save our country if we’re still deciding if we're the party of the money or the many

OK, I wrote my “who’s going to enforce it?” piece. It’s a lengthy read, trying to respond to a lot of questions I’ve gotten over the past three weeks, but it’s about democracy so I decided it was worth it to lay out in depth, with examples, what I’ve been talking about here and elsewhere.

Saying the same thing to my clients. All of us who provide gender-affirming care need to follow suit. If enough of us do this, and if others stand with us, we can, at the very least, make it much more difficult for them to strip our care. All the providers I know are holding the line right now.

So here’s my thought: I’m not asking anyone to trust these people. I’m not asking you to take them into your hearts. But. My personal plan is when someone tells me this, to tell them that they were lied to, and I’m sorry that happened, and they deserve a better leader.

IC 443 - Jellyfish nebula. A supernova remnant that I guess someone decided looks like a jellyfish, though I see more of a gross sunken-in brain. First real project with my new 5" refactor, Askar 130PHQ w/ the 0.7x reducer. Acquisition: 28xHa @ 300s 20xSii @ 300s 20xOiii @ 300s

Stop what you're doing and read President Carter's "Sun Day" speech (5/3/78). I can't believe I hadn't read it until now, but it's possibly one of the most technologically prescient speeches of any US president. May it inspire all of us in 2025. 🔌💡 www.presidency.ucsb.edu/documents/go...

The electeds that signed this letter represent millions of Americans. Unions like @uaw.org, @ueunion.org, CIR/SEIU and others represent millions of workers. They are sending a united message to Biden: Send aid to #Cuba and end the sanctions that are devasting Cuban families.

When you encounter information like this, what do you do? 🧪 A thread on science misinfo. This is a bold claim, one that stirs emotions, wonder and awe at nature. So when I see it, I'm immediately skeptical. I want to try and find a primary source. But I can't find any study to support this.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. strutting onstage at the Madison Square Garden Trump rally and reading all the text on the Dr. Bronner's bottle in a voice that sounds like an old lawnmower failing to start. In two hours, Tulsi Gabbard will reveal for the one thousandth time that she is no longer a Democrat.

How dare you automatically interpret disparities between demographic groups as evidence of discrimination. Why don't you take the far more reasonable step of automatically interpreting them as evidence that some groups are inherently inferior.

Gosh, what a coincidence how a mercenary hacker decided to hack climate advocates just for fun and the fruits of that were used by Exxon Mobil to deter state AG investigations and influence judicial proceedings. Surely nothing here for the DOJ to investigate.
