Excited to see the ranking of #ScienceUnderSiege spiking today! Please check out the book (ask your local library to stock it if they haven't already).

@peterhotezmdphd.bsky.social & I began writing this book well over a year ago. We wish the book didn't feel as prescience as it now does.

Should elected officials be imprisoned for speaking out against an invasion of their cities? Hard to say. Very technical question. Really one for the lawyers to sort out.

There are a few ways to read this piece, but my way is that top Trump regime officials know he is very weak with the public on Epstein and his lawless crackdown on immigrants

When someone told Adlai Stevenson that he had “all thinking people” on his side, he famously replied “That’s not enough, madam. I need a majority.”

It almost ceases to be ideological, I think anti-moron could be a lane for a political party.

I can’t not believe how hard it is to sleep when you’re watching your country, be dismantled by the dumbest people.

Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.

Everything Trump is doing now is a preamble for his regime's real goal: to invoke the Insurrection Act.

I don’t want to unduly alarm you, but you need to be aware of this imminent danger. It’s unfolding very rapidly. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/trumps-plan

Nineteen years ago, on October 7, 2006, Anna Politkovskaya was assassinated by Putin's hitmen.
She was the first to tell the truth about Russia's mass crimes in Chechnya, which foreshadowed those in Syria, Ukraine, Africa and elsewhere. They could have been prevented.

"We are hurtling back into a Soviet abyss, into an information vacuum that spells death from our own ignorance. All we have left is the internet. . . For the rest, if you want to go on working as a journalist, it's total servility to Putin."

Of all the many, many questions Pamela Jo Bondi refused to answer today, the most incendiary was about whether she's seen photos of Donald Trump with unclothed underage girls. It is so damning that she couldn't just say, "No."

I think the better question would have been:

"Pamela Jo, as a fellow taker of bribes, in your case from Donald Trump to shut down your Florida AG investigation of Trump University's consumer fraud, did you approve the shutting down of the bribery investigation into Homan?"

SEN. HIRONO: “Did you approve shutting down the bribery investigation into Homan?”

BONDI: “Are you Antifa?” 🤡

(That’s a yes)

Dolly Parton's sister is asking us to pray for her sister, which is going to confusing to many people who only ever pray to Dolly.

The artificial intelligence and robotics being developed by multi-billionaires will allow corporate America to wipe out tens of millions of decent-paying jobs, cut labor costs and boost profits.

What happens to working class people who can’t find jobs because they don’t exist?
