Watch how fast "no new wars under Trump" Republicans and cultist shift from being shocked and outraged about a new war in the middle east to exclaiming ad nauseam how we all should set our political differences aside and support the pres when we're a country at war. Its so predictable I hate it.

Another day of reminding everyone of Carl Sagan’s eerily accurate warning about the dangers of not being able to ask skeptical scientific questions to those in power or authority.

Judge Wilkinson's opinion for a 3-0 panel in the Abrego Garcia case is written for the parties, but also for the public & perhaps a nod at SCOTUS. I go through it in this piece, which I think provides a much-needed boost for all of us. joycevance.substack.com/p/a-fourth-c...

Oh dear you’re going to want to read this. Looks like DOGErs were caught exfiltrating NLRB data, likely on unions, for private (seemingly Elony) use. This is must read. What we’ve all suspected. But now details. www.npr.org/2025/04/15/n...

I’m just a guy who voted. I will not be peaceful protesting, calling or emailing elected officials. I did those things and we still ended up with the most vile humans running this place. It’s going to be faster to let them destroy this place than to try and “save democracy”.

There are exactly zero black ppl who didn’t see this coming from outer space. Maybe one day other minority groups will stop aspiring to be accepted as white.
The lawyer that represented Asian students who helped break Affirmative because they thought Black students were less qualified and shouldn't have gotten in. is now suing because Asian enrollment is down at select Ivy-league schools. Come to find out, it is white students who have always benefited.
