The USAF has reversed itself "after uproar." We must continue to pay attention. We must continue to preserve & share the stories of the Tuskegee Airmen & the Women Airforce Service Pilots. I promised them I would always tell their stories. You can too. Knowledge is power! www.msn.com/en-us/news/u...

If the price of coffee goes up the guy from blues traveler will be fine because he also likes tea

Many people don't even know about PEPFAR, but without any hyperbole whatsoever it is the single most successful, impactful and high-dividend US foreign policy initiative certainly in my lifetime and arguably ever, with the possible exception of the Marshall Plan.

Hello new followers! Here's one of my favorite older comics.

Yeah, he’s not a historian. He’s a computer engineer who has cobbled together some incredibly dumb claims about history and apparently convinced even dumber people that they somehow make sense.

American teens are flocking to a new video app

Being a “conservative intellectual” must rule so much. There’s this giant mass of babies that are scared of cities, mad at cartoons, and intimidated by women, and your job is to convince them having those feelings makes them brave warriors for western civilization

Hi, ASL interpreter of 30 yrs & a person w/ Deaf family here. In response to the anti-ASL horseshit going around: ASL and English are not the same language. ASL has no written form. Reading English subs is not = to seeing ASL & many Deaf ppl need sign to fully understand info.

This letter in the New Statesman a couple of years ago seems even truer now.

What’s happening in North Carolina is way more damaging to democratic norms than trump’s gulf of America troll.

Sauron crafted the One Ring to plunge middle earth into darkness, but now the woke mob wants to take all that away

The world's richest man managed to take $190 million away from a *child cancer research center* with his posts yesterday. Funding now stripped in the new bill.

Me, a public health person, just sitting over here reflecting on the fact that the US has experienced a 7% increase in infant mortality post-Dobbs. Like, do you realize what that says about this society from an ethical perspective? That we made policy choices that caused this? #PHEthx

I really hope that Austin Tice is found and released quickly for the sake of his family, ending their 12 year nightmare.

hey girl, I've been following the sudden collapse of Bashar al-Assad's oppressive regime - historic times, right? - and I've found myself thinking about how quickly something that seemed secure can fall apart, and how uncertain the future can look after it. I suppose that's why I'm texting you now,

This is such a great account.

having exactly (1) day out of the year where every amateur chef in America attempts to cook a giant bird and not fuck it up is, honestly, a wonderful and hilarious tradition

54% of Americans read below a 6th grade level and guns are the leading cause of death for American children and I don’t know where I’m going with this I’m just super sad.

The media is complicit in creating a society where anything is acceptable other than calling things what they actually are.

Frighteningly plausible

Always weird to wake up to a whole ass war.

I’m going to start compiling news stories to put in a folder labeled, “Why I’m Never Moving Back to Texas.”

Not sure eveyrone is tracking how clearly MAGA attacks on top military brass is about making sure top brass are Trump loyalists next time he tries a coup. www.youtube.com/watch?v=sYLT...
