Mr. Rogers would definitely be on the side of the people.
His legacy lives on in people like her and Alex and Renee and George and Philando and every other victim of state violence whose name we know and whose names we may never know.
"They say they're coming to save us from some evil? They're talking about our neighbors who take care of us ... Alex was murdered while he was helping. Mr Rogers said look for the helpers, & right now the helpers have a target on our forehead ... Mr Rogers would be here right now too, so I'm here."

MAGA brains breaking everywhere trying to decide if the Second Amendment means more to them than ICE and Border Patrol.

Watching MAGA right now talk down the Second Amendment is interesting. They are trying to spin this in every way possible. In Trump’s America, the First, Second, and Fourth Amendment rights are now gone.

It has been confirmed that Alex was a lawful gun owner and did not threaten ICE with a weapon. Early video reports indicate the weapon was taken by ICE and shots were then fired to execute him.

I used to think Republicans only cared about the 2nd Amendment but not the 1st. Now it seems they don’t really care about either one.

It’s hard to believe a president would time an illegal military attack to distract the public’s attention, but today is the statutory deadline for DOJ to release its report on the Epstein file production. Maybe it is just a coincidence.

How is alarming proposal to dismantle climate & disaster research at NCAR connected to Project 2025?
In this excerpt from my longer livestream, I discuss how the potentially devastating proposal to dismantle the NSF National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) and halt its core climate and extreme weather/disaster-related research has its origins in the policy blueprint offered by "Project 2025.

Here's our reporting on the proposed dismantling of the jewel of US atmospheric science, @ncar-ucar.bsky.social.

The plan is to break NCAR apart and disburse some parts to other locations (like the research aircraft fleet) and eliminate others.

Nearly all weather, climate, & natural hazard research involves NCAR in some way-either directly (as is the case with countless affiliated scientists at universities or elsewhere) or indirectly (through use of NCAR's irreplaceable community datasets, predictive models, or its computing facilities).
