No integrity. No courage. Bald-faced liars, and they all kiss the ass of one of the worst human beings ever at a North Korean level. They will live the rest of their lives in infamy. Just their money to give them comfort.

Equity is a good thing. I look forward to when it returns and is funded, and America can once again be a country that strives to be better.

You’re being kind. It strikes me as something else. 🙂

Must be a helluva lot of fun to hang out with these guys after work or in the back of the Ryder truck. What assholes!

And if there is a decent one in the organization, imagine what that’s like. Wanting to do better but you’re outnumbered.

So friggin’ true. Unbelievable.

Watching Kamala Harris talking to Rachel Maddow is so disheartening. Such an intelligent, wise, and well-spoken person who could have been our president. Instead, we have a simple-minded buffoon because we are a country full of racist misogynists.

Disgusting. Embarrassing. Disrespectful.

Can’t wait until he and it are gone. A good and true leader will find an appropriate use for the ballroom being built, as well.

We're launching our Push for Progress campaign to accelerate ALS research, expand treatment access, & secure $1BN in federal funding over 3 years. ALS is at a tipping point CLOSE to new treatments, but thousands will lose access unless we TAKE ACTION @ iamals.org/progress

It won’t be hard. All Republicans. All of them! May their children and grandchildren not believe the bullshit lies they will spin. They bent the knee to and kissed the ass of the worst human this country has produced. The damage they did will last decades.

If what we hope will happen ever happens, we'll watch as many, many people in the world of politics, overnight, go on to pretend they were always against what preceded it. This era has been a highly effective acid test for character. Take notes now, so that you don't forget in the future.

Isn’t it pitiful? And I see his box-hiding servant is still with him. Can’t remember his name. Have to check the indictment.

She shows more courage than anyone in that over-armed platoon could ever be able to muster. Wow!

Are those FBI, DEA, ATF, and ICE ‘agents’ doing the painting? It’s better use of their time.

I look forward to the future “MAGA/Trump” exhibit that will teach future Americans how millions of people celebrated a dumb, amoral, criminal with hats and flags as he pulled them into his ignorance. Gonna need a lot of space for it. Maybe the White House ballroom?

Alt National Park Service @altnps.bsky.social · Aug 20

Trump is now claiming that museums are the last segment of wokeness in America. There’s a lot we could say about how completely absurd and unhinged that is, but honestly, his own words say more than we ever could. Here’s what he posted:

Good job! What kind of orders are these fat fucks getting when they head out? Do they have no shame? Do any of them think this is not what I signed up for? Enjoy it now; “ICE agent” on a resume won’t get you far in a few years.

Teams of 10 or 20 armed to the teeth to capture non-criminals. Pathetic. Unfortunately, it’s their bosses or bosses’ bosses ordering these performances. My guess is respect is plummeting for these agencies. Deserved for now. Hopefully reversible.

Pete Spencer @sciencepete.bsky.social · Aug 11

How embarrassing. They have no shame. But their current penance is to have to spend so much time with each other. Can you imagine?!

True, the overall math is brutal for a lot of reasons, but this webinar is trying to get more people access to trials while the inclusion window is still open.

It shouldn’t be the patient’s responsibility to gain access, but unfortunately it is.

Pete Spencer @sciencepete.bsky.social · Aug 7

Agree. We don’t deserve it for a lot of reasons. We can host it down the road when everything that’s being fucked up is on the road to recovery. Sorry, might be a while LA.

I’m sure such software is being used, but “fairly and efficiently” aren’t the criteria it’s programmed to use.
