I suspect I won’t get a response to this but anyone know how many ACTUAL criminals (murderers, rapists, etc. not misdemeanor immigration violators) have been caught and deported? Compared to how many have been swept up? They’re not showing their work and it’s all a load of BS as far as I can tell.

Today is the day! A journey that Astra and I started as an essay in The Guardian is now officially out in the world. End Times Fascism – And the Fight for the Living World is in bookstores now. If you are inclined, please buy one from an indie bookseller or borrow it from your local library.

Meta took down the No Kings organizing page today - the biggest day of protest this fall. They provided zero explanation. It stayed down for the entire afternoon until most of the protests were done. Outrageous. Put this on the January investigation list.

Claude reviews scientific literature now?

I really don’t like that people are using AI to read, review, and summarize papers and then use the results essentially as health recommendations. Not good enough. emilydevoto.substack.com/p/claude-rev...

THE BULLDOZERS ARE STILL MOVING INSIDE BIG BEND NATIONAL PARK. DHS and CBP leadership want the American people to believe what they're seeing is simply "surveying and planning." They are lying 🤥

Whew! Nail-biter. Good job, England.

Attn ‼️ Trump is expected to sign an executive order as early as Monday to reduce the boundaries of Utah’s Bears Ears National Monument and Grand Staircase–Escalante National Monument.

I may have eaten a whole avocado’s worth of guac with chips…in the first half. #worldcup

The Trump effect. Belgium. wins 4 to 1. This is what happens when you make people angry

Is this like putting your foot on the scale. ?? Shameful. Not even back door stuff. Trump puts it right in your face and we do absolutely NOTHING

Bet you $10 there was no back-up weather plan for the ‘festivities’ in DC today. What a shanda.

In today’s Starting Point, we found Lyme wasn’t the only tickborne disease growing in New England. Some are worse.

Thinking about doing art more than actually doing art today. Oh well.

Wow! This is really a victory! Was this TACO courtesy of Iran or of renewable energy in Texas?

Existential equipoise.

I remember.

Wild. Not a bit surprising.

GLM Lightning Mapper might point to a bolide (fireball) causing that very large boom over southern New England a little while ago.

I’m a climate scientist. Let me fix this headline. “Nearly a century ago, scientists showed that burning fossil fuels warms the planet. Today, we know human emissions account for over 100% of the warming. Yet dark money and disinformation still work to keep Americans addicted to fossil fuels.”

This is your chance to SAVE SCIENCE.

I like this image for the accuracy of its message. Don't pretend it's anything else.

Kakistocracy.

Unintentional self-satire.

Good night 😴 “The people will not revolt. They will not look up from their screens long enough to notice what’s happening.” From the Novel “1984” Written by George Orwell in 1949

Pass it on. We need the very best for this one.

For the umpteenth time: The most corrupt president in American history.

BREAKING: Trump is essentially stealing money from the pockets of Americans to the tune of $1.7 billion. He's telling his DOJ to give away that money to his allies and supporters under the fake claim that the Biden DOJ was "weaponized." It reeks of corruption. abcnews.com/US/trump-poi...

We’re in the “break glass in case of emergency” moment for American democracy. Democrats can create 22 new blue US House seats by 2028 by redrawing maps in: – New York – Colorado – Maryland – Oregon – Wisconsin – Minnesota – Pennsylvania Time to take action.

🚨 URGENT: We are running out of time. There is an illegal plan moving forward right now to completely gut the US Forest Service. Don't scroll past this—it takes exactly 30 seconds to send a letter to your representatives. Click here and do it now: actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...

Trump is killing the economy. Spirit Airlines is gone. After 34 years, the airline shut down before dawn this morning every flight canceled, every employee out of a job, millions of passengers left scrambling. And the story of how it happened is a direct line back to Trump’s war with Iran.

Because war and the climate are intimately related, I imagine, though I would love to see data, that they are the same 45% more or less. Honestly we need to do that survey.

Because war and the climate are intimately related, and the same people think climate change is a hoax, they are the same 45% more or less. Honestly we need to do that surbwy

Look for 9b science budget to be plundered by Republicans. 'Stupid move': Fury as Trump fires entire science board with no warning or explanation www.rawstory.com/trump-scienc...

I remember seeing them in the Norfolk broads. So beautiful!

Happy Saturday! We all need a dose of Robin Williams and Elmo today. 😁😂😂😆😆😭 #Pinks

It’s hard to express how important Iris was to ACT UP’s scientific development. She was the catalyst who started it all. Iris Long, Scientific Mentor to AIDS Activists, Dies at 92 www.nytimes.com/2026/04/17/h...
