It’s time for Democratic leaders to fight or step aside for those who will. In the face of a would-be strongman, and incredible energy from rank-and-file voters, senior leaders of the Democratic Party in Washington still cannot seem to find the front of the battle line www.msnbc.com/top-stories/...

My dahlias!
Monetizing knowledge is a symptom of a much larger issue we have in the US and with capitalism as a whole. My only hope is that in my life time we are able to overturn fascism and start building a foundation towards making our government and tax dollars work for us again.

Public servants should face the public. So why are federal agents wearing masks to hide their faces? Check out our mobile billboard driving around Washington, D.C. right now demanding federal agents take their masks off!

My students, who attend a working-class rust-belt college, openly talk abt how much they hate AI & are afraid of its consequences. I wonder how much of the oft-reported student enthusiasm for the tech is the merely result of the NYT’s Ivy League bias

Trump is using his puppet Hegseth to strip the military of experienced, knowledgeable, strategically skilled leaders in his effort to remove all "woke" and replace with Trump loyalists. This has disastrous implications. youtu.be/-kzthHByGrE?...

Dying of undiagnosed plague to own the libs? (Yersinia here from context is the gastrointestinal sort, but still not what you want). Now with a side order of flesh-eating oysters! CDC cuts have real-world impacts when you can't get timely confirmation of a diagnosis because the labs aren't funded.

NEWS: A federal judge just BLOCKED Kari Lake from ousting VOA Director Michael Abramowitz, saying that Abramowitz can only be removed by a majority vote of the VOA’s advisory board — which Trump fired. Trump will have to replace the board members before Abramowitz goes anywhere.
California is getting safer. Homicides down 20% Robberies down 19% All within this year. And we're deploying CHP officers to more regions across the state to keep this momentum going.
it is not hyperbole to say that the United States is not under the control or authority of the United States gov’t. Yes, assets within the Gov’t are making daily decisions, but they are either financially or programmatically (or both) under control of foreign entities, both governmental and private.

Comedians are the most serious people on the planet. Their intuitions and insights require a strong counterbalance, effective humor. That’s what makes Zelenskyy a tremendous leader and why you never meet a funny republican.

Corporate America’s playbook: 1) Exploit workers to maximize profits 2) Use profits to buy Congress 3) Use Congress to pass union-busting laws 4) Use these laws to further exploit workers 5) Repeat Let's break the cycle and keep building back a powerful labor movement.

Saddened to hear of the passing of Dr. Rossiter, who told the stories of the many forgotten and underappreciated women of science. Like many women of her generation, she survived academia by developing a tough exterior, but her support for jr women, myself included, was unwavering. RIP, Margaret.
My community college is doing exactly this — offering free tuition for full-time, in-district, degree-seeking students. Enrollment is higher than it has been in years, the new students are excited, hopeful, and engaged, and our campuses are livelier than they've been since the pandemic, maybe ever.

Here's something I think a lot of folks don't yet understand, but 16 states' worth of CVSes refusing to give out Covid shots *is* actually preventing people from accessing them. They are the biggest pharmacy chain in the country and they own Aetna insurance, often forcing those clients to use CVS.
