Workers need to reclaim their power. Repeal the Taft-Hartley Act of 1947, making the #generalstrike illegal. This was an A-bomb dropped on labor after the strike waves of 1945-1946. Dems got a thumping after the 1946 mid-terms +58 seat swing in the House. @sarahkendzior.bsky.social #VoteBlue

And it was actually a prisoner exchange in which we gave them an actual Russian criminal and we also gave them diplomatic cover in a war of aggression — not only morally shameful and personally humiliating but as a negotiation absolutely laughably unequal.

Let's just make this clear: Witkoff calls the bloodiest dictator, indicted war criminal, and child murderer, Putin, a "humanitarian" not for some massive concession, not for agreeing to stop the war, but for releasing a person they captured in a foreign country where that person was simply living

I point this out every year, and am often told that "surely this cannot be true!" But surveys consistently report similar numbers, and it illustrates why increasing public & private institutional visibility of individual *scientists* (not just "science in the abstract") is actually quite important.

Katie Mack@astrokatie.com

Every year, Research!America does a poll that asks, "Can you name a living scientist?" In January 2026, 76% of respondents said "no." Of those who said "yes," 5% named a scientist who was, in fact, dead. www.researchamerica.org/blog/can-you...

There is a disturbing trend being seen in early voting. Texas, Florida, Tennessee, Ohio are reporting difficulties getting the machines to accept democratic votes. The machines change them back to Republican unless the voter persists, pressing several times to get the correct vote to go through.

Some TN counties used BMDs (touchscreen where it marks a paper ballot you then turn in) or DRE/VVPAT (counts straight from the touchscreen but also prints a paper trail). These are inferior to hand-marked optical scan ballots. Touchscreens can be poorly calibrated and have higher error rates.
