Science Sarah

Russell Vought cannot be given the power to decide what science is funded. He knows nothing about science; in fact, he seems to hate it and everyone who does it. And he has all of the worst characteristics of humanity. The Republican Congress is a fucking disease.

These people can all get fucked. People with disabilities offer an incredible amount to the workplace. Trust me when I say you likely have no idea of how much harder they are working than others. And yet, people tend to view others’ accommodations like they are personally being robbed.

The Trump administration wants to cull people with disabilities from the workforce. Requests for disability accommodations are not special privileges. They are required for people with disabilities to be able to work, and they should not be treated carelessly or maliciously.

👇👇Believe us when we speak, damn it.

This is the letter kids got at the end of Dolly’s Imagination Library. I defy you to read this and not cry.

NEW: Congress appropriated $1 trillion for defense this year, more than twice as much as the combined budget for agencies overseeing health, veterans affairs, education, housing, agriculture and justice. We’re setting out to report on how this public money is being spent.

A full third of registered voters failed a freakin open book test because THEY ARE FUNCTIONAL ILLITERATES and TREASONOUS IDIOTS

Have you been injured? #slushfund

“Do you support this kind of demonstration?” @justinjpearson.bsky.social : “Absolutely! What the hell else are we gonna do?” (From @MemphisForAll)

Oligarchs have always been a threat, but tech oligarchs represent a new level of danger. Their wealth dwarfs historical tycoons and their control over algorithms allows them to curate human reality. They own the digital infrastructure of thought

Of COURSE he's insider trading. He's a crook, he's ALWAYS been a crook, he's using the presidency to make billions. He ran to stay out of jail, to make money and to feel powerful, because that's what a narcissist like him gets off on. It was never about helping people.

Christianity is the biggest, most profitable scam in America.

Nobody cool likes JD Vance.

The nicest article about JPEG compression, by @sophielwang.bsky.social The moment there are color stats involved, I’m in. It’s so well done it makes me think we need some kind of online library where articles like this get preserved. www.sophielwang.com/blog/jpeg

Pretty difficult to refute a single thing in this perfect assessment of where the f**k we are, from @iandunt.bsky.social:

People who don’t know information are ignorant and, from this ignorance, can think foolishly. But this becomes stupidity when rejecting offered evidence that could remove their ignorance. And even more foolish than that is being proud of not wanting to learn and staying ignorant.

I don’t know who needs to hear Jesse Jackson leading the kids on Sesame Street in this beautiful call-and-response reminding them that every child is somebody, but here it is

“OMG, but if there was a multinational, blackmail pedophile ring wouldn’t someone have tried to sound the alarm?” yes. many tried. most of them women. but you didn’t believe them. you thought they were crazy. even when they sounded credible, they were discredited, silenced and sometimes killed.

Yes, it should.

We are not the first people, or the first country, to suffer under a tyrannical government that does not respect our lives, or our rights. There is a method for how to effectively resist, and eventually topple, such a regime. We can learn from others who came before us. This is my favorite guide.

This guy went to work today, put a mask on, kidnapped a 5 year old child, and then used him as bait so both he and his father could be sent behind bars

We just saw this, and it’s a good idea for businesses to post. Private businesses are allowed to set dress and conduct rules. Requiring no full face coverings has long been standard for safety and loss prevention reasons, and it is within a business’s rights to refuse entry or service.

Mamdani: For too long, those fluent in the good grammar of civility have deployed decorum to mask agendas of cruelty

Who agrees? ✋

📖We are often asked where you can find reliable vaccine information. It breaks our hearts to say it, but it’s no longer at CDC The vaccine integrity project is a great source & has compiled recommendations from medical societies into 1 place for easier reference: www.cidrap.umn.edu/vaccine-inte...

1/4 🧵 We’ve posted a lot lately about CDC denying reasonable accommodations to disabled employees -- e.g., telling a paraplegic person who normally teleworks to report to the office immediately or use leave. Yes, that’s really happening. Let’s talk a bit about why everyone should care.

The fact that 12% of federal judges are Black shows the corruption of DEI. The fact that 67% of Supreme Court Justices belong to a small legal cult called the Federalist Society shows the power of meritocracy.

Ok, I’ll buy ONE thing on Black Friday. F u, Washington posT! (I can’t not hear that in Lisandra’s voice!)

A reminder for those who are not aware: "remigration" is the process of deporting all non-white people from a country. It includes citizens and is, by definition, ethnic cleansing. And to be clear: this is not fake. I just screenshot it myself.

The DC shooting story is really getting to me because we literally trained this man as a child soldier for a death squad in a forever war and Stephen Miller et al want to blame it on other cultures? It's our culture, American culture, that killed that woman.

An oldie but a goodie youtu.be/QPKKQnijnsM?...

Minnesota has been shaken to its core by political violence this year. We know first hand that rhetoric like this has real life consequences. Everyone should call this out for what it is - the sitting president calling for deaths of Members of Congress. This is what dictators do.

"Why do so many Americans live in poverty? Because so many rich people benefit from it. This is the thesis of the lauded sociologist Matthew Desmond’s new book, Poverty, by America."

The fact that none of the 8 Dems are up for re-election in 2026 is a pretty good sign @schumer.senate.gov engineered the surrender

I hadn’t heard about the AP Psych study guide books being banned?!

“infidel of every denomination” 🙂

We ❤️ lethality. Being the most lethal is pretty cool. Fight, warfighters! My heart goes out to you, and I pray god will bless the weapons. We are the victims! Lethality lethality lethality, wow! -all pentagon comms from now on

I'm not sure you can get more marie antoinette than taking away food stamps before thanksgiving while you build a gold and marble dance hall so the other crooks can bring bribe you over a badly-cooked (argentinian) steak

Why isn’t every large account warning about the “network state” movement? In August, “network state” leader Balaji Srinivassan—a close ally of Peter Thiel & Marc Andreessen—wrote that, “When Bitcoin wins,” it “ends the Fed,” the “battle begins,” & “it's time to build”. 1/

The most reckless, stupid administration E-V-E-R. Nothing comes close.

AOC: And they are able to radicalize a generation of young boys in particular, away from healthy masculinity and into an insecure masculinity that requires the domination of others who are poorer, browner, darker, or a different gender than them.

The following is REAL footage from Portland, 2025. Viewer discretion is advised.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.
