Anyone who would stand by and allow shit like this to happen is as evil as those committing this hate crime. I hope they all get charged to the fullest extent and are made shunned from work, friends, and any advancement for life.

Grossly inappropriate.

In an interview at @mongabay.com, @wwattribution.bsky.social researcher and environmental statistician @clairbarnes.bsky.social explains how attribution science, which helps scientists understand climate change’s impact on a particular extreme weather event, works.
1. My newest Anti-Trans Legal Risk Map is here. Risk has increased sharply for youth in many states as clinics shutter under Trump and state AGs refuse to enforce civil rights laws. For adults, some increases in risk. Nationwide risk remains extreme. Subscribe to support my journalism.
I have a language suggestion, which everyone can do, but is primarily for media members who value truth and Democratic politicians: Instead of asking and adjudicating if an obvious lie is false, make the fact that it's false your premise. "Why are you lying?" instead of "some say that's not true."

The Denisovan finds occurred after my arch rotations in my cultural anthro degrees and when I learned about it I was so excited! I might lean cultural for my field but damn it if my heart doesn’t still beat for archeology and genetics too!!

Beautiful!!!
Every person with the ability and means to help those victimized by ICE sue their abusers directly should be doing so. Support the ACLU for those who don’t have means if you can as well. Every path of resistance and justice should be taken by those who can take them and that includes the legal.
No more bulletproof screens either！
Dear racist white people, please answer this.
Yikes 🤣🤣
Today we celebrate the strength and resilience of working people everywhere. Nearly 300,000 federal employees have lost their jobs this year not because of necessity, but because of a political agenda. And while people’s lives were destroyed in the name of “saving money,”

I’m no fan of the anti-trans policy and rhetoric from Newsom but I sure do love the work of his staffer who has been putting together these posts that mirror the absurdity of trumps bullshit. She is absolutely amazing!

Because those are the MAGAt Republican priorities.
Who's killing the journalists in Gaza?
Ugh. It’s almost like wanting body autonomy or relief from horrible pain is also highly correlated with critical thinking and care about personal civil and human rights.

NEW: The trump administration attempted to remove 600 terrified unaccompanied minors to Guatemala in the middle of the night on a holiday weekend. Judge Sooknanan stopped it. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/the-sookna...
I would like to believe that. Unfortunately I fear it is more likely that they choose to find/fund a way to martyr him. I guarantee that’s their plan to get the more controllable and dangerous Vance in place while getting martial law in the process. God I truly hope I am wrong on that inkling.
Republicans are getting a taste of what is to come in large numbers. #FucktheGOP #FuckTrump www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...
When I was in my anthropology undergraduate years I read them all. All the five major holy books (plus a few like Gilgamesh which they stole stories from that predated them). When people try to preach to me I almost feel bad as I ask them specific questions that make them stop and actually think.
Science is real
It was probably always inevitable that the rise of a dictator in the US would be greeted with a shrug by many Americans and Europeans alike. But it doesn’t make it any less shocking to see. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
The puppeteers are probably in the process of staging something to place their new favorite pet Vance in the role. I know it is completely illogical but I can’t shake the feeling that this silence will end in martial law and that Nazi monster Vance as the dictator in chief.
Wake the fk up America !

I've long felt like the expansion of the Big Ten - and therefore the Midwest - to include states definitely not in the Midwest was deeply offensive to my Illinois roots...until now? How about it, Illinois health officials, can we join our East Coast friends too?
I mean at least Vance would be disappointed he didn’t get to play fascist in chief if that were the case.
Twenty years after Hurricane Katrina ravaged his hometown of New Orleans, Jon Batiste has released a new song imploring people to take action against climate change “by raising your voice, and insisting, and voting the right people into office.”
Refugees in Kenya have died at food distribution centers, officials noted, including a pregnant woman crushed to death during a stampede. Aid workers said they expected more people to get hurt “as vulnerable households become increasingly desperate.” (Published May 2025)
I’m would not be surprised in the least if Vance’s puppeteers were not actively planning on getting rid of trump in a violent manner to put their more docile toy in play.
ICYMI~~ IT'S THE "GOPs & the GUNS" ✅ No brain science required ⚡🇺🇸💙
When politicians fear the people, they cheat. The Missouri GOP is shredding maps and crushing ballot initiatives to cling to power. But people outnumber politicians and rebellion starts at the ballot box. Screw you Kehoe.
Sitting back and doing nothing isn’t an option! This is much more than a diversion from the Epstein files - the files mean nothing if we are under Martial Law! bsky.app/profile/marc...

10-year-old Sean the Science Kid told Dr. Gupta that his favorite part of the brain is the hippocampus (it holds short-term memories and transfers them to long-term storage in our brains.) Sean loves it because ‘memory is your bond with the past.’ Gorgeous.👇
Angus: I’m saying we need to start building progressive media that people actually listen to. I’ll give you an example: MeidasTouch. Wherever I go in Canada, working-class people listen to MeidasTouch because they talk about what’s happening in a practical way. They give facts.
Hi, immunologist here: (a scientist who studies immune & inflammatory processes) RFK Jr is talking absolute bullshit when he says he can “see in kids faces that they have inflammation” That’s NOT how immunology works. He is an anti-science profiteer. Start calling him such.
The nurses at Concord Hospital-Laconia in New Hampshire will soon vote on whether to become the state's first nurse union at a private hospital. I applaud this courageous effort and strongly support SEIU 1984 in their campaign.
"Literally no one thinks prayer is a substitute for action." Then why is prayer, literally, *always* the substitute for action, you willfully obtuse asshole?
Great thread. A great explanation of the different philosophies at play around us.
Here's some good news: Catelin Drey won a special election this week to flip a seat blue in the Iowa Senate and break Republicans' supermajority.

He also said, “I can do anything I want, I’m the president of the United States.” The man wants to be king, but we became our own country to never again be ruled by one.

After watching and reading comments about the horrific Minnesota shooting, it appears most Americans people missed our stories about the secret roots to the madness. I pray this repost helps. www.propublica.org/article/gunm...
Psaki: I felt a mixture of anger—a lot of anger—and emotional exhaustion about this today, as I’m sure many of you have, because we have been here so many times. And yet again, like clockwork, half the politicians in our country have little more to offer than thoughts and prayers.
There are no words that will heal the pain of this community.
They are sending soldiers into cities to prepare to intimidate people at the polls next year. They gerrymander because they can’t win on policy. They intimidate because even gerrymandering won’t work at this point.
Krasner: So, if what you have is a group of ICE agents, or even the military, coming into Philadelphia and committing crimes—assaults that are illegal, kidnapping, unlawful restraint, obstruction of the administration of justice—they can be prosecuted.
Protestors disrupted a career fair for the Department of Homeland Security who were recruiting for ICE in Chicago earlier this month. The disruption rattled security. No arrests were made. People are objecting to the illegal kidnappings and deportations.
We can’t wait that long. People need to strike and demand he be removed now!
