He nails it.

Drove my Kia EV9 to the post office to drop off reminders to GOP members of Congress that there are alternatives to 47 & Musk. And to being remembered throughout history as his enablers. Just a few Republicans with courage & principle could stop this madness that needs Infinite Resistance. ∞Ω

Quite the first month of an admin. Where will this trajectory take us over the next 47 mos. of 47’s madness? Where life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness for anyone on the planet, & where life on the planet itself is imperiled, we need Infinite Resistance. ∞Ω Find your way to bend toward justice

This is fucking stupid.

Elon-gated extortion. In case any patriotic Americans missed the switch, we are now the bad guys and international pariahs. It took less than a month. Any bets on how far we could slide & what damage we might do in the next 47 months of 47’s regime? Stop them. www.reuters.com/business/us-...

The babies to bath water ratio is incredibly high in this mindless purge. It’s public servants and public service that are being cut, not fraud or expense. We’ll all be paying for this election for years. Some of us with our lives.

For decades, the US government has painstakingly kept American science #1 globally—and every facet of American life has improved because of it. The internet? Flu shot? Ozempic? All grew out of federally-funded research. Now all that's being dismantled. 1/ www.technologyreview.com/2025/02/21/1...

Tackling the causes of climate change don’t just keep things from getting worse; it can actually improve our lives.

Courage is contagious. We need an epidemic of it. Spread it, even if you only put out a germ.

They may or may not end up calling the current wrecking crew Nazis, but MAGA may soon earn a similar sticky, long-lasting historical connotation. You voted for 47, you voted for this.

Wallace was the 33rd Vice President of the United States, serving from 1941 to 1945 under Franklin D. Roosevelt. He’s serving the American people again now, as his words warn them what their MAGA overlords are up to.

DOGE is not a branch of government. It’s an anarchic, sociopathic chainsaw crew, sidestepping laws & precedent & attacking and throwing into the chipper individuals & institutions dedicated to serving & protecting. The goal is not efficiency or cost-savings; it’s chaos & destruction. We all lose.

Bright passionate people who wanted to dedicate their lives to public service were fired in a mass email over the holiday weekend. This has absolutely nothing to do with efficiency, fraud, waste, or abuse. And your life will be worse because of it.

A quote carved into the halls of the United States Supreme Court

Remembering a Nov. 3 stroll at the Mall of America. Met some young Danes sporting Harris/Walz attire, saw a celebration of Latin American culture. Saw symbols whose meanings have become ambiguous or tainted. Drank coffee. Infinite Resistance continues. ∞Ω

I don’t only care about climate change because I’m a scientist. I care about climate change because I’m a mom. Climate change is already impacting the people, places, and things that we love most. And who doesn’t want to protect what we love? Read more:
