We as a society have reacted to this administration too slowly for too long and we have done so at our own peril. We no longer live in a representative democracy. We have shifted more and more towards an autocracy every day. No one is coming to save you. Wake up America. We're lost if you don't.

Iran, please take out this pedophile. It’s a small price to pay to save America.

French marine biologist Jeanne Villepreux-Power invented the first glass aquarium for scientific study in 1832. Her sealed tanks (with aeration & water stability) enabled live observation of sea creatures, which was revolutionary in marine research. She was born #OTD in 1794. #WomenInSTEM

I've discovered the only grape juice I like is the kind that bursts forth as I bite into the grape's juicy and delicious flesh. That and sparkling white grape juicy.

This administration hates Haitians with such particular vigor because Haiti was founded in an act of revolution against white enslavers. That’s all there is to it. They’re a bunch of fucking racists 🤷‍♀️

In a few hours we will see what happens when this administration is losing a war they started. The answer may be nukes. That's insane. What will they do when they lose to us in November to save themselves from prison.

The sitting US President has called for the extermination of a CIVILIZATION and he STILL has supporters. That is unforgivable. Shame on America. Shame on us for not stopping this. Shame on everyone who resigned instead of fighting. Shame on the non-voters. Shame on the scum who voted for this.

You know what source of energy Iran can't shoot down? Solar and wind. Seems like it could be part of the solution if conservatives weren't morally bankrupt ghouls enslaved to the fossil fuel industry. Why do we allow Republicans to be such an effective barrier to a better future?

The last few days should prove to every single person in America that Trump and the ideologies that gave rise to him and continue to support him despite everything are the greatest threat America has ever faced. Conservatives, Nazis, Racists, Bigots, Republicans, MAGA... It's all the same now.

It's April 1st and people are going to be merry pranksters today! Make sure you vet any highly-anticipated news or obituaries before popping the cork on any expensive champagne you might be saving. Do that anyways though, regardless of the day.

Your tax season reminder that the real freeloaders in this country are the rich — not the poor or immigrants or any other group of people vilified as scapegoats. The richest 1% evade $160 billion in taxes every year. The United States literally has yacht and private jet tax deductions. Hello?

I think they should only make minimum wage (state minimum for state politicians, federal minimum for fed politicians) and see how quickly minimum wage becomes a livable wage.

Sociology teaches students empirical frameworks for understanding concepts like systemic racism, gender inequality, and structural power. Florida's Republican leaders can't allow that to be mandatory, they need their base uneducated and unaware of the real causes of their issues... Republicans.

miamiherald.comFlorida bans sociology from core curriculum at state universitiesFor years, Republican lawmakers and education leaders have argued that sociology — especially high-enrollment introductory courses — has been overtaken by progressive ideology

Turns out the rapture was already supposed to have happened, but because Christians are so shitty to everyone else (often including their own children) God decided to cancel it. They fucked it up for themselves. They can either reload to a previous save or persist in the doomed world they created.

The written word abides! Now's the time to nominate writers for the @ametsoc.org Award for Distinguished Science Journalism and for the Battan Awards for best atmos-related books for adult and K-12 audiences. See links below, after a word from our president. 1/2 www.youtube.com/watch?v=OKWn...

There will come a time when simply pointing out this administration's crimes and falsehoods is no longer sufficient. Saturday America is going to come together for the No Kings protests around the nation. Is this where our revolution begins? I desperately hope so. People need to SEE we win in Nov.

If you look at the list of Trump's allies, people he cares about / likes, and compare it with the list of his enemies, he doesn't care about / doesn't like it becomes clear. Donald Trump isn't the President of the United States. He's an agent of hostile foreign powers with enough dirt to bury him.

Trump: "I don't care about the Democrats. The Democrats hate our country."

They will NEVER stop trying to take away our rights or turn us into second class citizens. They will NEVER stop attacking the LGBTQ community. This is a secular country and we need laws and politicians at every level reflecting that. The Christians will never stop trying to make the world worse.
