Sending Jeff Bezos an email, lauding him for promoting personal liberty, and asking him if, to that end, he will run my column about how great a personal choice it is for people to join a union.

Voted for Trump, now have buyer’s remorse? The Trump philosophy seems to be his version of FAFO. Don’t buy anything on the 28th unless you absolutely have to.

Something that’s very clear is that Trump is old and checked out. He wants to play the role of president but has zero interest in doing the job and is happy to outsource the real work to Musk, Vought and a crew of feral zealots.

Nothing about kids dying from measles is normal. Anti-vaxxers like RFK Jr. and the Republicans who enable them are responsible for every single one of these deaths.

Reminds me of the dying anti-vaxxers in the hospitals during the pandemic begging to be vaccinated and nurses saying “it’s too late” and their shock and disbelief they were going to actually die from Covid.

Stop giving your attention and money to the mainstream media and start supporting alternatives like:

Democracy Docket
The Contrarian
Meidas Touch

Please put other alternatives you like in the comments. Let’s build a great list of resources we can trust.

If you're overwhelmed like me with all the garbage happening in DC, try 5 Call. They give you a script to follow so you can make a quick phone call to your reps. SUPER helpful!

Had a conversation with a non political person whose buddy works for the forest service and was 10 months into his job supplying hard to reach parts of a national forest and was fired. The guy talking to me was like “I don’t really think my buddy’s $50,000 salary is gonna balance the budget.”
most people know someone who works for the federal government in some capacity

and even the assholes who think all federal employees are moochers tend to make a personal exception for their buddy Jim

everyone is going to hear stories of how cruel and capricious this is
im probably just being optimistic but it feels more and more like this strategy of rather indiscriminately and smugly firing a shitload of Americans who serve their country and don’t do political jobs will probably just start pissing off ppl who don’t pay attention to politics.

Graduating during the pandemic slowed down my process and is part of why I did two postdocs. Now as a first year faculty, all the federal grants are frozen. I love the work I do but this has all of us questioning how much www.science.org/content/arti...

Dr. Charles Drew was a Black American doctor who pioneered blood banks making it possible to store blood plasma for transfusion saving countless lives. Many believe that Drew’s death was a result of being refused a blood transfusion because of his color.

If your day has been difficult, or if you’re feeling anxious, here’s some Cornish medicine to ease your heart. It might not change things much but hopefully a moment of calm will help in a small way. May your evening be peaceful, my friends. 😊
