The congressional switchboard number is (202) 224-3121. Put it in your cell phone. Use it. If you're not calling at least once a week, you're not doing your part.

The horse op-ed is an instant classic. I can't tell you how much joy this piece gives me. It should be taught in every introductory writing class in no small part because the horse arguments are so compelling. "I have noticed that human children get to eat cake. But I am bigger than the children."

According to the Cato Institute, The Trump administration is reportedly receiving millions of immigration applications, pocketing the hefty fees, and never processing the applications. It’s collected over $1 billion in fees so far. Where is the outcry over this fraud and abuse?

A new paper shows that less than 2 months of exposure to Twitter’s algorithmic feed significantly shifts people’s political views to the right. Moving from chronological feed to the algorithmic feed also increases engagement. This is one of the most concerning papers I’ve read in awhile.

The only biosphere in the known universe capable of supporting human life is being turned into a hell planet because most of Earth's governments refuse to stop trying to satisfy the insatiable greed of a plutocracy composed of people who already have more money than they could spend in 20 lifetimes.

part of this is like, conservatives projecting; part of this is conservatives unable to imagine politics without money; and part of this is dudes who are so out of touch with feminized labor that they think children's birthday parties exist as a spontaneous act of parthogenesis

We are one another’s caretakers, we are bound together by this shared world. Our actions or inactions ripple outward

If there's one empirical insight I'd want everyone to understand about American politics, it's this: America's problems are solved problems. Just not here. What would change if the US simply matched the average of 31 peer democracies? Not Denmark or Norway. Just the middle of the pack. 🧵

Everyone involved in the publication and promotion of this book should be embarrassed. It's not a "harsh truth" that COVID mitigation was a mistake, it's ghoulish and false.

Lately I’ve been reminding myself that when life feels heavy, I don’t need to run from it — I just need one quiet moment.❄ Sometimes that’s standing outside and watching my breath turn to mist, or listening to a creek on a cold morning. That’s the quiet I painted into Okamaroq. 🐺💙 #wolfart

The Trolley Problem! A hot philosophical debate. Who gets spared? Where should you donate? What is "harm?" What would a monk do? W/ Dr. Josh Greene of @givingmultiplier.bsky.social. Also: neurodivergence & moral decisions, religion + your new fave skeleton. www.alieward.com/ologies/trol...

MAHA ignores the real causes of poor health in the US, but Defend Public Health doesn’t. Our report has 11 pillars of actions for Improving the Health of Americans Together, like reducing gun violence, combating scientific misinformation, and removing RFK Jr. from office.

I once again ask, what are you doing to make Bluesky more frog-centric. Here are some ways you can help: 1. Post images of frogs 2. Share frog videos 3. Befriend local frogs and share stories Together, we can make Bluesky “that weird frog place”

Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill” is Project 2025 in legislative form. Here’s how it quietly turns a far-right wishlist into federal law: - Sec. 10008 - Expands work requirements for SNAP - Project 2025: Pushes “moral reform” to make low-income people work more for food assistance.
