The only prayer that matters when it comes to the regular and repeated murder of American children while they are at school is the kind of prayer that is taking action, the kind of prayer that materially fights for the living, the kind of prayer that says "never again" and means it, from MN to Gaza.

The officer was following another into tall grass that towered over them. He carried a flash light in one hand, and a gun in the other. He raised the gun — and fired into the grass before his hands met to stabilize his aim

“Oh s---,” he yelled. Beyond, the man he shot laid repeating, “He shot me.”

When DOGE cuts aviation safety and planes crash, when Medicaid is demolished and your community hospital closes, when trans care is banned through pulling funding, when Musk subverts democracy…

Vivian Wilson reveals on 2025-03-09 that she was sex-selected prenatally by Elon Musk: "My assigned sex at birth was a commodity that was bought and paid for. So when I was feminine as a child and then turned out to be transgender, I was going against the product that was sold." archive.ph/yyKda

Really bleak that the state of American advertising is "buy T-Mobile ft Starlink so you're prepared and have phone connection when you or your loved ones experience major natural and human disasters."

The people making me — a Black queer agender Jew — feel nuts right now aren’t the monsters who are out to destroy us. They just make me angry. The people making me nuts are the so-called allies who refuse to see all of this for what it is, who are complying because they think it will protect them.

Starting trade wars to make it easier to take over the government was literally the plot to the Star Wars prequels.

What the NSF is doing this week is damaging *generations* of scientific researchers and American investments in science. Billions of US tax payer dollars in investment, being thrown away, because of a fucking fishing expedition that is intended to terrorize and set the stage for a real witch hunt.
Exclusive: NSF this week began to search through billions of dollars of grants the agency has already awarded for anything touching on topics that President Donald Trump has criticized. And NSF has blocked grantees and trainees from accessing funds while the review is underway. scim.ag/3El0NZh

Julie Gray, wife of Holocaust survivor Gidon Lev, who joined Musk in his visit to Auschwitz speaks out. She says that Musk felt nothing during the tour & only "cared about how he looked."

She shared this with me privately shortly after the tour, and I'm grateful she made her thoughts public.

When a single billionaire can accumulate more money in 10 seconds than their employees make in one year, while workers struggle to meet the basic cost of rent and medicine, then yes, every billionaire really is a policy failure.

NASA can fuck itself for having a lack of a spine and telling the government where to stick this policy removal.
This is disgusting. It’s happening across government agencies, but there’s something viscerally horrible about seeing such hateful language underneath the NASA logo.

I'm terrified about removing DEI initiatives from STEM programs, especially eng and comp sci. The experiences that stuck with me the most from undergrad are the ASTONISHING statements I have heard from STEM majors who think everyone else is so stupid as to be considered literally subhuman.
