I have never done this before, but my partner has also never been politically persecuted by the government for protesting the secret police.

Thinking about the common, stubborn myth that leftists are all epistemic and moral relativists, who think there’s no such thing as truth, and how in actuality the left is, in general, the branch of Western politics pushing for data, evidence, scientific consensus, etc, while the right are the ones..

Seriously at this point I would not blame someone for suspecting the Jacobin of being a right wing psy-op, feels like they want USA democrats to go the way of British labour

also some science is fucking settled. it's idiotic to pretend otherwise.

Kit Yates @kityates.bsky.social · 3d

“Science is never settled” sounds reasonable—but it’s often a rhetorical trick to undermine consensus on issues like vaccines or climate change.
Science evolves, but some things are overwhelmingly supported by evidence.

There is such a thing as 'settled science' — anyone who says otherwise is trying to manipulate you

How bad-faith arguments sow doubt by weaponizing scientific humility.

Philosophically and theoretically, science is never settled.

Practically, some science is so settled the most likely explanation for that science being wrong is that some all-powerful extra dimensional being is pranking us into believing it is not wrong for shits and giggles

happy #fossilfriday! this is panderodus, a jawless fish that lived between the middle ordovician and the late devonian. the species p. unicostatus was one of the few vertebrates of the silurian period to hunt large prey
(art by mightyfossils)

a reconstruction of two panderodus, which are related to lampreys and hagfish, and have large, curved and serrated fangs lining their jawless mouths. extremely spoopy

Just disgusting.

A screenshot of a post on X that reads:

Cuomo, talking to conservative radio host Sid Rosenberg this morning:

"God forbid, another 9/11—can you imagine Mamdani in the seat?" Cuomo asks.

"He'd be cheering," Rosenberg says.

Cuomo paused and chuckled before saying: "That's another problem."

Brennan gets it.

"And there is a real thing that happ--I think happens in real life a lot where, y'know, this horrifying, oppressive force has its boot on your throat -- either figuratively or literally -- and goes 'Hey, I know I've got my boot on your throat. Be really careful to get my boot off your throat ethically. Don't get my boot off your throat in a way that would compromise your values, or call war ethics into question. I'm gonna keep crushing your, y'know, body with my--this oppressive weight, but, like, make sure YOU handle this in the right way.'"

I like to think our children's children will be hopefully able to enjoy some new genetically engineered parrot made to re-fill that niche, maybe made to look like them, and made right. But yeah, de-extinction the way we talk about is not something we should do, or even deserve.

Trump's federal agents shot Marimar Martinez, a US citizen, multiple times for allegedly menacing them with her car in Chicago. Only hours later, Kristi Noem and DHS started spreading disinformation about the shooting.

Now the official line is crumbling. 1/

Trump’s Secret Police Shot a Citizen. Then Damning New Info Emerged.

As the official Trump administration line about the shooting of a Chicago woman crumbles, Senator Chris Murphy is asking pointed questions about what really happened here. Will we ever get answers?

We have armed secret police kidnapping people off the street based on the color of their skin.

When we win: we will haul them before a Senate committee. The masks will come off. There will be consequences.

Essential point:

"Key to... Vought’s worldview is the idea that the constitutional order - and with it the “natural” order itself - has been destroyed: The revolution has already happened, “the Left” won. Therefore, conservatives categorically err when they try to preserve what is no more."

Thomas Zimmer @thomaszimmer.bsky.social · 19d

Sunday reading:

I wrote about the aggrieved extremist who is currently firing thousands of federal workers and ravaging state capacity based on conspiratorial nonsense - and about mainstream media’s infuriating tendency to sanitize Russell Vought and the regime he serves.

This week’s piece:

We need to talk about Russell Vought – But Properly

Why certain mainstream outlets insist on sanitizing Vought as a devout “small government” conservative – and what actually animates his war against pluralistic democracy

My statement on the two year anniversary of October 7, 2023.

“Two years ago today, Hamas carried out a horrific war crime, killing more than 1,100 Israelis and kidnapping 250 more. I mourn these lives and pray for the safe return of every hostage still held and for every family whose lives were torn apart by these atrocities.

In the aftermath of that day, Prime Minister Netanyahu and the Israeli government launched a genocidal war: adeath toll that now far exceeds 67,000; with the Israeli military bombing homes, hospitals, and schools into rubble. Every day in Gaza has become a place where grief itself has run out of language. I mourn these lives and pray for the families that have been shattered. Our government has been complicit through it all.

This must end. The occupation and apartheid must end. Peace must be pursued through diplomacy, not war crimes, and our government must act to end these atrocities and hold those responsible to account.

These last two years have demonstrated the very worst of humanity. We must answer it by modeling the very best: a relentless pursuit of our higher ideals and an unwavering commitment to universal human rights.”
