Hello??? Barack? Where are you??? He's here, with Mother Jones's Garrison Hayes, and he has some stuff to get off his chest: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Trump’s DOJ forced UVA President Jim Ryan to resign. Wesleyan President Michael Roth calls it what it is: an assault on academic freedom and a warning sign of tyranny. A must-read for anyone who cares about democracy:

I am so tired

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

The "I'll lower costs and get us out of endless wars" candidate is now presiding over surging costs and brand new wars.

"Your timely reminder that Obama negotiated a great deal with Iran (JCPOA) which had halted its nuclear program in its tracks. Trump ENDED that deal in 2018. Iran then resumed enriching Uranium, and now, here we are, with another preventable war on our hands." Mikel Jollett

100 years ago today a Tennessee grand jury indicted science teacher John Scopes for violating the state’s law making it a crime “to teach any theory that denies the story of the Divine Creation of man as taught in the Bible, and to teach instead that man has descended from a lower order of animals.”

This isn’t about ensuring history is “based on facts.” It’s about making sure history aligns with this administration’s narrative. The Trump administration has ordered every national park to post signs encouraging visitors to report anything

This is just the best description of Dan 😝😜🤪 so true. He will always be his own kind of brilliant, batshit crazy and I'm here for it all. @scaredyboys.bsky.social #theguest #lethimin #awesome

NEW EPISODE out now. We’re diving deep into the blue eyes of Dan Stevens and watching the thrilling THE GUEST.

In today’s “Wait A Damn Minute” we expose the misleading moments of Trump’s “MAGA Minute” in which Karoline Leavitt tries to convince Americans that Trump actually did something this week. Sure, Jan. I’m your Shadow Press Secretary and here are the facts. @thepersistnetwork.bsky.social #WADM

"I don't want a Disney vacation of our history! I don't a whitewashed history, I don't want a homogenized history. Tell me the wretched truth about America, because that speaks to our greatness" -- 20 hours into his speech, Cory Booker is spitting absolute 🔥

Senator Cory Booker concludes his record-breaking Senate Floor speech after 25 hours Massive applause for Booker

Rest in peace, Richard Chamberlain. March 31, 1934 – March 29, 2025. 😢🙏💜💜

Disgraceful response. They never take responsibility. Pete Hegseth put our national security at risk. He is completely unfit to lead.

Elbows up, Canada.

Few people in American politics have ever exhibited less moral clarity than Nikki Haley has since 2016.

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.

These absolute morons are going to destroy the United States. If you’re in favor of the US leaving NATO, you either don’t want the US to succeed, or you don’t know wtf NATO does. Worth noting that Mike Lee voted to expand NATO in 2022.

Said every tyrant and dictator in human history to justify his actions.

The CFPB is one of the American people’s best defenses against waste, fraud, and abuse. Demolishing it will, of course, lead to more waste, fraud, and abuse.

If you are feeling stressed or overwhelmed, perhaps it would help to close your eyes and imagine snuggling in between Button and Piglet for a nap?

Remember, if someone has the audacity to tell you that your goal of reading more books, eating more pastries, and using more Oxford commas "isn't a worthy New Year's resolution", it's time to reassess their place in your life.

Imagine there's no countries It isn't hard to do; Nothing to kill or die for And no religion, too. Imagine all the people Livin' life in peace. You may say I'm a dreamer But I'm not the only one. I hope someday you'll join us And the world will be as one. John Lennon, 10/9/40-12/8/80

How to cope with an increasingly turbulent world? Currently, I'm cuddling with Mabel & avoiding reality entirely.

All I want is a cottage in the Scottish Highlands, a raging snowstorm, and Agatha Christie novel, a crackling fire, a kettle on the stove, and a basket of emotional support pastries.

Here is an old #sciart painting I made that honours #evolutionday. May this chalkboard serve as a reminder for us to always fight for #science and make sure that future generations continue to learn about #evolution in their classrooms.
