'Morning! Happy Caturday 🐈🐈‍⬛

Harvard scientist Kseniia Petrova has been in ICE custody for about two months. Her colleague and friend Leon Peshkin says her case is causing some scientists to reconsider working in the U.S.

Bernie Sanders made an appearance at Coachella to introduce Clairo. "The future of what happens to America is dependent on your generation. Now, you can turn away and you can ignore what goes on, but if you do that, you do that at your own peril.” Love this dude!

TODAY WE MOBILIZED OVER 3 MILLION PEOPLE ACROSS THE NATION!!! This movement has entered the next chapter: the people will mobilize again, and again, until we make a difference. It only takes 3.5% of the population in a sustained resistance in order to make a difference. #50501movement

Everyone wants there to be a grand scheme behind all of this but the terrible truth is that extremely stupid people are in charge and they have a fanatical devotion to wrong, childlike concepts of society and economics cooked up by right wing radio hosts in order to sell tainted dietary supplements

The richest man in the world spent more money than most of us will see in our lifetimes to lose a state Supreme Court race by 10 points. And the fact his $25 million was a drop in the bucket compared to what he's spent on other elections is exactly why we must overturn Citizens United.

It's not a bad idea to go to the local Walmart or big box retailer and buy lots of consumables now. From toothpaste to soap, anything you can find storage space for, buy before they have to replenish inventory. Even if it's made in the USA , they will jack up the price and blame it on tariffs.

Yet again, The Ethicist spends an entire reply debating whether or not an #adoptee has the right to know their story. There is only one ethical and moral response: yes. Every time. No matter what the truth is, it belongs to us. #adopteevoices www.nytimes.com/2025/03/14/m...

Doctors call it the Physiology of Poverty: The stress of trying to survive every day breaks the mind and the body. That's why working class people in America live SEVEN years shorter than the very wealthy.

Gomez on Hegseth: "He stood in front of a podium in Europe holding a drink! So of course we want to know if his performance is compromised. If your people were asking if General Austin was compromised because of a heart issue ... this is serious."

Netanyahu's illegal war has killed 50,000 Palestinians. Now, Trump wants to force out 2 million more to build a billionaire's playground in Gaza. That is ethnic cleansing — and it’s a war crime. Next week, I will force votes to block $8.8 billion in new arms sales to Israel.

once again, every accusation is a confession. republicans spent 15 years accusing democrats of winning elections by trading cash for votes. now, here we are.

That Kristi Noem video with the detainees is so upsetting and the fact any sizable fraction, let alone a majority, of our society would endorse it is evidence of a deep rot in our entire culture. Like until you answer what fuels the appetite for that kind of thing it will only get worse

Friendly reminder that your taxes pay Geo Group and CoreCivic (the two largest owners of private prisons including ICE facilities) billions of dollars and they use it to starve people to death. Behind every human rights violation in American history is some asshole sitting on a pile of money.

This is what the future of politics looks like.

🧪 Meet Lise Meitner: The nuclear physicist who explained atomic fission in 1939, revolutionizing science. Despite her groundbreaking work, her male colleague Otto Hahn received the 1944 Nobel Prize while she was excluded. #womenshistorymonth #STEM

This guy... how do you listen to him and think anything other than "used car salesman"

Religion figured out how to make people okay with losing their kids, especially if it was "in service" to their gods. But, yeah. Outlaw abortion. So kids can be born to or "adopted" by people like this.

Tonight an unbelievable **34,000 people** gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back. This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008. Also bigger than the 2024 DNC. And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).

This 40k-year trap of the Rich & Powerful vs Everyone relies on absent parents and isolation. Religion and shame pushed generations of humans to choose public perception over their own children, maintaining the status quo instead of working for a world where our children have more and work less.
