I mentioned this before...it makes me LIVID....Me, my organization, & many other organizations worked hard for these commutations and this is just disgusting behavior from the Trump Administration

Furious, sad, and I feel terrible for all of these human beings being used by Trump to send a message

The latest right wing attack on trans people is to manufacture a conflict and then pressure the administration to cave.

To counter this, spineless administrators need to be held accountable. Top admins often switch schools over their careers, other colleges should refuse to hire those that cave.

BREAKING: Democrats have *flipped* a seat in Georgia's state House tonight.

Democrat Eric Gisler has won the seat, which was previously held by a Republican who resigned this fall.

This is a red territory: Trump won the district by 13% in 2024.

What’s going on is that Hochul is facing a left flank primary challenge and Mamdani is the closest pivot point, right?
It would be so incredibly cool if Mamdani could keep radicalizing New York politicians. Do it ago! Moar!
I don't know what is going on, but I guess keep it up kathy hochul?

We took a deeper dive at @prri.org on Americans' attitudes and Epstein controversy. Our 2025 #AmericanValuesSurvey shows most Americans do not prioritize it as a critical issue, not do they approve of Trump's handling of it; yet some insights on QAnon are notable.

A lot of people are going to lose money on this. Solar radiation modification only makes sense if followed by large-scale carbon dioxide removal, and we ain't got that.
A 25-person startup is developing technology to block the sun and turn down the planet’s thermostat.

The stakes are huge — and the company and its critics say regulations need to catch up.

Another upside is with all the socialism talk, some folks are actually looking into it and realizing it's not the bogeyman they've been told.

I loved this video of Bernie meeting Trumpists and their basic consensus being, "Well, shit. That don't sound so bad."

Zohran showed that a socialist can take City Hall—but the ruling class still forced him to keep Jessica Tisch at the NYPD. For Zohran to fight the police unions and win, the Left has to build power beyond the ballot box.
