The “every accusation is a confession” thing is maybe overstated but when it comes to Republicans and “sharia” it is unquestionably the case that the people trying to impose their religion on others through the legal system in the US are not Muslims bsky.app/profile/qasi...

Together with other scientists I’m suing the 🇺🇸 US National Institutes of Health for violating our 1st Amendment rights & censoring our health science. I’m ready to shine a light on the darkest days. Buckle up, read on. This gets pretty wild… THREAD

“The internet is a store but it used to be a library” hits me like a slug to the chest

New Democratic candidate talking point just dropped.

I want to talk to you about an article @wired.com's @telliotter.bsky.social published yesterday that should be getting a LOT more attention than it currently is -- It's all about how the US Census Bureau is overrun with staffers from a notable MAGA think tank.

Another unconscionable result of the GOP’s war on women. www.propublica.org/article/ecto...

Iran is back to trolling him again.

Here's the official announcement of Parton's passing from her reps, along with the request that in lieu of flowers, the family asks for donations to be made to Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library at www.imaginationlibrary.com

The Library is devastated to learn of the passing of Dolly Parton, a music legend and titan of children's literacy. Her Imagination Library program has earned multiple Library Literacy Awards and, in 2018, she visited us to donate its 100 millionth book to our collection and host a story time. 🦋❤️

Thank you Trump and RFK Jr. As someone with a PhD in immunology and many years working in the medical research and drug development field, and a Pennsylvanian, my heart is bleeding and raging.

In this Washington, DC BDSM dungeon, "ballroom" still means the place the dominatrix takes you when you've been a very bad boy. But they do know this: It's nice to come down here for a break from your day job rubber stamping Trump's whims from your seat on the highest court in the land.

Merck and Moderna say their mRNA cancer vaccine worked in a late-stage melanoma trial. A roadkill eating nepo baby heroin addict says all it will do is give people autism. For busy melanoma patients, it can be hard to know who to trust.

I stand with Dr. Anthony Fauci …because I value EVIDENCE over conspiracy, DATA over rumors, and SCIENCE over politics. No public official is beyond criticism, but there’s a difference between honest scientific guidance and misinformation. I’ll choose evidence EVERY time. #medsky #publichealth

Will Bunch reports on Mount Holly Springs. A quaint town, but something akin to invasion of the body snatchers, were local police have decided that all things considered, they'd really rather be working for ICE. share.inquirer.com/3Iv0yc

If Graham ever did fully understand what he enabled, we'll never know now. And, it is frightening but not shocking how much further along the path we are now than we were when this was written.

Ooooh, are we sharing fables? I got one for you. So, there's this frog that enters public service, presumably for the right reasons. He spends years as a district judge, then gets elected to the state supreme court, then attorney general of that state. (thread)

Dear news media, Do not give the Trump regime credit for opening the Strait of Hormuz, if it happens. I know it's hard to remember things that happened less than 3 months ago, but Trump's illegal war closed the strait in the first place. Sincerely, Mark

Y'all if you think that the reason we don't have universal healthcare is that it costs too much, I don't know what to say to you. We would get better healthcare for less money with universal healthcare. The cost is not the issue. There are many reasons we don't have universal healthcare.

ICE is not about immigration. ICE is about normalizing a paramilitary force on peaceful streets. Abolish ICE.

I’m happy for Hungarians tonight. A little jealous, and the tiniest bit optimistic.

Disgraced Kristi Noem will go down in history as a bigoted cabinet member who oversaw the killing of Americans and the terrorizing of our communities.

Do we still have a Congress or no?

Verizon can’t call or text us to provide status updates. #verizonSOS

🚨 The White House is now actively covering up a murder.

I am impeaching Secretary Kristi Noem, who is an incompetent leader and a disgrace to our democracy. She wreaked havoc in the Chicagoland area and has brought her reign of terror to Minneapolis. One of her rogue ICE agents shot and killed an innocent woman today. It must come to an end.

America is a rogue and malevolent state and global bad actor

So Twitter is now not only the world's pre-eminent Nazi hang-out but is also a peddler of AI-generated child pornography, and the guy that owns it is about to become the world's first trillionaire? Do I have this right?

Trump and Stephen Miller are actually failing in crucial ways. Deportations are lagging behind their goals, courts are mostly functioning, and their fascist, ethnonationalist cruelties have unleashed a countermobilization of unexpected scope and power. New from me: newrepublic.com/article/2046...

From @crampell.bsky.social "I wish I knew what Rockwell might have said about Trump’s theft of his life’s work in service of state-sponsored terror. But even more than that, I wonder what he would have painted." The MAGAfication of Norman Rockwell open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa...

Every legal story now is either Ancient Circuit Judge Delivers Crystal Clear 100 Page Rebuke To Trumpist Overreach or In Unsigned Shadow Docket Decision, 6-3 Majority Declares Trump Can Hunt People For Sport

Can’t believe the whole country has to suffer through the return of Dickensian childhood diseases because the worst, most ignorant attention-demanders decided other people’s expertise makes them feel bad

Breaking: NBC News projects: Pennsylvania voters retain three state Supreme Court justices — preserving Democrats' 5-2 majority.

They abolished the House of Representatives ... solely to prevent the release of information about the president's best friend, the pedophile who ran a sex trafficking ring.

He murders people in intl waters w/o due process or evidence. He demolishes our East Wing because he feels like it w/o consultation. He fuels an abusive police state to grab people off the street w/o due process. Meanwhile, billionaires & corporations keep handing him millions. They are complicit.

I should probably have just published this in the morning, but I had some thoughts about the East Wing — particularly given something Trump said during his 2020 speech accepting the GOP nomination. www.pbump.net/o/the-presid...
