Oh and did you know MOUNTAIN LIONS can purr? In fact, they're the largest cats on earth capable of doing so. You can thank Tyus Williams @sciencewithtyus.bsky.social for that little fun fact. Now wait until you learn how the presence of mountain lions ripples through an ecosystem!

With a dark sense of humor, it is both alarming and funny the way people continually use the foreboding future tense of entering fascism in this country when it’s literally already here people are like “it’s coming” or “I fear we are entering fascism”. I’m like NAH DUDE WAKE UP IT’S ALREADY HERE!

I think people forget that you’re allowed to have an emotional response to something that bothers you even if it’s warranted, but you’re not allowed to abuse systems of power to suppress the voices of others simply because you don’t like the things they say. That’s called fascism.

Trey Reed being found hanging on his college campus several days after an alt-right political figure was killed shouldn’t go over anyone’s head without at least a morsel of reasonable suspicion. In this current political climate? In this country? That’s not a coincidence it’s pattern recognition.

It’s happening. The takedown of Jimmy Kimmel is likely the start of a campaign to use the murder of Charlie Kirk as a pretext to use the power of the White House to wipe out Trump’s critics and his political opponents. But we aren’t powerless. We can mobilize and organize. Now.

We’d be in a much stronger position right now if mainstream Democrats had taken a common sense stand for First Amendment principles instead of piling on undergraduate standing up for Palestine.

For folks pissed off at Disney-ABC for firing Jimmy Kimmel I do believe we can put pressure and win which we need any win right now. We have friends everywhere pass it around! bit.ly/boycottdisne...

I find it insulting to the competence of humanity at large for any national power to claim they are great if their success was based on the backs of exploiting and destabilizing other nations around them. It’s hypocritical to an extent that should insult many, but it doesn’t sadly.

It’s been a while since I posted on here so here are some updates. Got back revisions on my first chapter manuscript I submitted, which is awesome. Crushed my presentation at a conference in Atlanta, Georgia. I received a continuing fellowship to cover my Fall semester. Things are going well!

Massive late response to this, but had so much fun at the conference and sharing some of my insights from the manuscript I’m developing from my research. This is probably one of the coolest insights that I’ve gathered from my research so far. Excited to share more!

Fish biologists are the physicists of the vertebrate biology world. Just because you know every extant and prehistoric vertebrate extends from jawed fish doesn’t mean you always have to remind us. We get it, you guys came first! Lol

It should have been Bernie…

I’m continually unsurprised when straight white male politicians sit in a room and expose themselves for not having the moral foundations that they portrayed themselves to have when it comes to their political affiliation. This is so ridiculous. Why would you platform Charlie Kirk?

1. This morning, California Governor said he was in "complete alignment" with anti-LGBTQ+ hate-influencer Charlie Kirk of TPUSA on transgender sports. He also conceded on trans inmates and gender affirming care for youth. It's so much worse than being reported. Subscribe to support my journalism.

Establishment Democrats think that by alienating trans people they can appeal to a more moderate voter basis they tend to miss during elections, but all it does is secure that they’ll lose votes from their progressive basis, which is why they always lose. This is a dumb losing strategy.

I think the most frustrating part about the situation we’re all dealing with is if the DNC had actually stood on progressive values they claim to have they would’ve endorsed Bernie Sanders in 2016 and maybe we could’ve avoided all this to begin with. Yet, here we are dealing with Trump once again.

This is your reminder that boycotting and economic pressure against someone who has corrupt interests towards our democracy works. In the end capitalists will always turn on each other.

Nice. Love this.

Wtf is this headline?! Thrashing? Zelenksy stood up for himself and his people unapologetically to a political leader who makes a mockery of “diplomacy” that JD Vance dares to interrogate Zelensky over. This is headline is embarrassing and horribly misleading. apnews.com/article/trum...

we may be one of the few pubs that got this headline right Trump And Vance Ambush Zelensky In Prelude To Betrayal talkingpointsmemo.com/news/trump-a...

JD Vance reminds me of bullies in high school that only feel bold enough to antagonize someone else when they have their squad around them but buckle under pressure when they experience pushback. The audacity to speak of diplomacy while aiding fascism in our current administration.

To make those who dared to defy him suffer regardless of their occupation so people will be too terrified to protest against him again. His actions are an attempt to bend people’s will and a test to see who will comply and assimilate without refusal. This is how dictators operate without restraint.

The depressing yet somewhat laughable reality of this admin is if Trump or Musk were filmed kicking a dog in 4k the public response in protest and uproar would be so violently aggressive it would be one of the most historic events we’ve witnessed in terms of public reaction. Think about that…

I’ve been saying for the past couple of weeks that the US will probably go into an epidemic in the next couple of years and the evidence is looking quite compelling.

You can literally feel the misanthropy around you with everything going on in our current political climate. I don’t blame people either.

Democrats acquiescing under this current administration claiming there’s nothing they can do would be the equivalent of the Union surrendering during the first skirmish of the Civil War the moment confederates charge them. Do you see how that doesn’t make any sense? Things are just getting started!

BREAKING: Josh Shapiro just sued Donald Trump and won, unfreezing $2.1 billion in funds the administration tried to freeze. Another win for Democrats in the courts. Don’t let anyone tell you Donald Trump is unstoppable.

It’s giving McCarthyism and gestapo.

Okay so you know I like to remind everyone how the American immigration system has been cruel for a very long time. But loading people on flights to deport them to countries that they are not from, like Iranians to Panama, is not business as usual.

🚨 SCOOP 🚨 The acting Social Security commissioner has left the agency after a clash over providing DOGE access to sensitive data It follows our reporting that DOGE is seeking access to personal financial data at the IRS for every taxpayer, business and nonprofit.

My love for humanity isn't found in our achievements but rather in our resilience. The ability to overcome and defy the impossible odds presented against us merely because we desire to persist at all costs despite the struggles we might endure collectively as a people. We are all in this together.

Why pay for taxes if there are no employees to process said taxes? 🤷🏽‍♂️

Every single Democrat in office that has refused to aggressively counter the efforts of this current administration out of fear of backlash or the in the interest of maintaining “social etiquette” and being perceived as good guys needs to be voted out in the primaries. The silence is inexcusable.
