BREAKING: 1 in 4 nursing homes say they will be forced to close if Republicans pass Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill. No grandma should be kicked out of her nursing home so that Mark Zuckerberg can buy another Hawaiian island.

I really wonder what my high school teacher for Western Civ (freshman year during Iraq/Kuwait) and later Arab World (yes that was a class in one of the most conservative US counties in 1993) would be thinking of this moment in time.

The day started with tragedy with political violence in MN and instead of being scared, neighbors SHOWED UP to stand together at No Kings Twin Cities. We packed the Capitol Mall all the way to the Cathedral. Estimate 80,000+ right now. So proud of our state. #nokings #indivisible

something that stands out about this is just how cheap it is for us to have world-leading scientific capacity we spent ~6.75 trillion last year, and the combined budgets for NIH, NSF and NASA are barely more than 1% of that what an incredible waste to lose it all for a drop in the bucket

I mean, this is why the Met Gala with its record $31 million raised this year was so important. It sent a statement.

I understand the impulse to hate on the #MetGala and the opulence of it all while the world burns. But also art and fashion and creativity and individuality are all things fascists can’t abide. Not to mention this was a night celebrating Black fashion. More than one thing can be true at a time.

The Met Gala raises money to support the Met's Costume Institute, the only Met department that must entirely support itself (which is its own worthy subject of conversation). The Met's Costume Institute is an ongoing marvel.

Let’s rephrase this to apply to other safety features. New air bag? Compare a crash against a car without airbags New helmet? Have kids wreck and compare to kids without a helmet. New car seat? Compare wrecks to kids who aren’t in any car seat. Also the original vaccines were tested against placebo

Friends, we are suing President Trump and his administration for abuse of power. His tariffs, like almost everything he's doing, are blatantly unconstitutional & illegal.

If six months ago you'd told me that in autumn 2025 I'd have to go to Canada to get my annual COVID vaccine but I wouldn't do it because coming back through immigrations was too risky for someone who had criticized the government, I would have looked at you like you were having a stroke.

An entire nation was forever changed and lives were brutally ripped from us on this day 26 years ago in a preventable tragedy at Columbine High School. Since then, there have been over 400 school shootings due to America’s failed leadership, lax gun laws, and capitulation to the gun industry.
