Hey remember that time a bunch of losers got mad at a lady who made a video game about depression and it led to several thousand federal employees losing their jobs

People were killing themselves and eating their own horses to survive during the Depression. And I never forgot the book The Grapes of Wrath describing how the Salvation Army made people crawl on the dirt and bark like dogs to amuse them in the bread lines.

this is *INCREDIBLE* It's what landing on the Moon looks like, 2025 edition

I'm not going to bug AOC with my answer but I think for State Of The Union the Dems should all dress up like Vampires to confuse Trump, make him distracted the whole time trying to understand it. Also imagine how jealous all the Republicans would be

“Actually come to space, pussy” is a pretty funny dunk on Elon Musk, gotta admit

Found out that TWENTY emails is considered a lot to politicians on an issue. TWENTY. As in, they call that getting slammed. So next time you see a request to email your rep, or call, keep that in mind. TWENTY is a lot.

I realized today that Trump, Musk, DOGE, Vance, Miller, Vought and their many collaborators have broken so many laws already that they know they have to destroy our government and entire way of life to stay out of jail. This is all or nothing. We should respond accordingly.

Do not open your door for ICE officials. Talk to them through your door. Refuse to open it.

SHARE WIDELY. KNOW YOUR RIGHTS. With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights. You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one. (1/3)

Presenting my latest: The Bright Nebulae of Southern Lacerta. This is a 6-panel mosaic taken between August through October of 2024 under Bortle 7 skies. Panel integration time varies between 12-25 hours. Click for more high res and full details: app.astrobin.com/i/wvb931

"Democracy Dies in Darkness" is kinda like "Don't Be Evil" as a slogan. It's a bit worrying when you choose it, but it's a lot more worrying when you take it down

Why is a murderous corporation allowed to continue to exist. I thought US law said that corporations are people. Oh, they are wealthy? The larws don't apply to the wealthy, do they? Now I get it.

How is it a ceasefire if only one side adheres to it?

Merrick Garland’s inaction may have ended democracy in the United States. But at least he’ll always have his norms.

No better quote from Merrick Garland summarizes why he was the wrong man for the job than this from his farewell speech. From start to finish, he brought norms to a Trump fight and democracy suffered.

Here’s my latest. It has puppets! Mr. Rogers! History! People calling Sesame Street “authoritarian” and “dangerous” and setting kids up for a “life of bourgeois imprisonment!” Spoiler alert: I think it’s the greatest show ever created. #history #skystorians #PBS www.eriereader.com/article/how-...

You expect me to be interested in a song that's made by ai. A thing that couldn't care less if someone puts it's heart in a blender

NEW IMAGES OF MERCURY FROM BEPICOLOMBO’S FLYBY YESTERDAY!!

My thoughts on pardons for the January 6th rioters. Hell no!

Best intro to a book I’ve seen in awhile

The right's assertion that there are "alpha" and "beta" males implies that gender exists on a spectrum and is not binary. Also, meet their "alpha"

The image reads: "The first transgender suicide hotline is now up and running in the U.S. You can reach Trans Life at 877-565-8860" Looking at the website, it seems that Trans Life offers a broad range of resources in addition to the hotline, and is worth a look if only to learn what's available.

Making sure elderly politicians “finally get their shot” is not important. Defeating fascism is.

Folks: please be diligent about not disseminating Ann Telnaes' cartoon in a way that she's not getting the clicks on it (until she says differently). Her IP matters now more than ever. Make it go viral but make sure she benefits. anntelnaes.substack.com/p/why-im-qui...

THIRTEEN TWENTY-EIGHT DAY MONTHS. 364 DAYS. THE 365TH DAY IS A GLOBAL CELEBRATION. #FIXTHEMONTHS

John Roberts is very upset that the public has lost confidence in John Roberts and the institution John Roberts leads following a series of confidence-cratering actions by John Roberts and his colleagues, and therefore would like everyone to know that this is not John Roberts' fault, it's yours.

I’m sure he wants the history of it all told his way.

Very good question.

Given that the hostages were released literally minutes after Reagan took office, this bit of GOP assholery was well understood even at the time.

CANADIAN Version of this series would have been boring. Man gets cancer... Man goes to Dr. because they have universal healthcare. The End.

This is Mars. *MARS*
