Yikes!
Here's a smart take on how to speak truth to power in this moment.
Wait, so the purpose of museums is to affirm your current beliefs and make you feel happy and patriotic? Huh.
Congress? What's that?
On the 20th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, I signed this letter of support for the FEMA dissenters. Please join me, friends!
I filled out the form online to RSVP, but didn't get an emailed link
Not good
We need a strong FEMA!
"Staflation light"?! Yikes!
I'd pay to see an exhibit focused on all the things this administration doesn't want you to know or think about.
At his age, it's hard to remember last week.
Shocked! Shocked I tell you.
Come on folks! Let's get with the program!
All perfectly normal in a functioning democracy with a fair judicial system and co-equal branches of government.
I love this! A person in a duck suit is going to hand deliver rubber duckies to U.S. House representatives to encourage them to "Impeach the Quack" RFK jr., the wildly dangerous head of Health and Human Services. I just sent $3. You can too!
"We will now be counting your vote by a show of hands. All in favor of me being president again? Oh, good. So I'm the winner. Thanks!"
Thanks for writing this. As Mr. Rogers advised, in times of crisis, "look for the helpers."
He had to call his boyfriend for moral support. Bless his heart.
Yeah that sounds like a totally normal thing in a healthy democracy.
Wait, WHAT?

I guess Trump was right. Today they're throwing sandwiches at federal agents, tomorrow they'll be storming the Capitol and yelling "Kill the cops!"
But do they want such a dubious honor?
Everybody's a comedian now.
And done!
Let's do this!
This is definitely how responsible adults handle inconvenient truths.

Thanks for the designs & inspiration, Colette!
Tonight I secretly placed ~12 flyers about the NIH's critical, life-saving work (now threatened by Trump) all over my local grocery store. A fun way to spice up my shopping. You can too: www.standupforscience.net/microflyering @standupforscience.bsky.social @cdelawalla.bsky.social
This explains the MAGA crowd.
What an inspiring story. Glad to see someone fighting back for her neighbors.
Cornyn has gone full MAGA. Pathetic.

Let me guess, Trump will be the one to "sex test" female athletes?
"Hey, I know your true passion is saving the world from climate disaster by working on climate modeling at NOAA ... and I know we arbitrarily fired you for purely political reasons ... but how would you like to come work for us kidnapping brown people instead?"
AG Informed Trump His Name Tattooed All Over Epsteinās Body
But she wasn't even a Confederate general!
Somewhere a leopard is searching for Hawley's face...
That's how all good faith investigations begin, right?
Wait, have they changed the calendar? Does November come before August now?
In Texas statewide races, Republicans get about 55% of the vote. But the state legislature is considering gerrymandering our US house districts to a wild extreme, gobbling up 78% of our U.S. house seats (30 out of 38). It's grossly unfair!
If it walks like a duck ...
Dementia is so sad to witness.
At least we can all agree the Oxford comma is silly.
But have we tried WHITE?
"Straight Outta Chompton" š
Thanks to the bill that just passed the budget for ICE is LARGER than the Russian military. ICE now has the 3rd largest military budget in the world after the US military & China... I wonder what that will be used for? š«„ @indivisible.org @lindsaymeyerharley.bsky.social @50501movement.bsky.social
A thread about ongoing erasing and ignoring science... š§µ
Thanks, but we didn't need "saving."
Thanks for the sticker. I'm still looking for the perfect spot out in the world.
Looks like the primary reason Harris lost was because more Biden 2020 voters sat out this time than Trump 2020 voters.
Dementia is so sad
A move sure to boost tourism to the US
Putin may be Trump's boss, but he's not mine.
Yay! One of my favorite writers ... and punsters.
It's a Big Bad Bill folks
Seen in Austin yesterday #nokings
That's a hard no.
Thanks for being there!
Me too!
We had a great #NoKings pop-up protest this morning in Austin, Texas! @indivisible.org @maddow.msnbc.com
A classic of the genre
He should be embarassed.
With this regime, we're in a hostage situation. We're all the hostages.
Let's keep it up folks.
Captain Bone Spurs says "Get off my streets!" So ... see y'all at the "No Kings" protest this Saturday?

Gives strong vibes of a closeted gay person overcompensating to not be suspected by his straight peers
Low risk, low reward
Is this the "fake news" that right wingers are always talking about?
Dear Dorks, Iām not afraid of incompetent bullies who always chicken out, canāt write a simple report without AI, and have the charisma of a square of used toilet paper. And you shouldnāt be either āš¼š¤ Yours truly, A mad scientist
The @upshot.nytimes.com has put together a vivid illustration of how the Trump administration has hollowed out American science. Gift link: nyti.ms/4kBTVql
In my latest podcast, I went to the Texas coast to find out how the sound of tiny bubbles could help fight climate change.
So what are the editors getting paid for?
Right? He's trying to have it both ways. "I only act like a NAZI around presidential election years. Right now, I'm just a guy who's into cars and rockets."
The Texas legislative session is in its final days. Here's a handy tracker for where various bills stand: www.texastribune.org/2025/05/20/t...
Wouldn't count on that.
The party of freedom strikes again.
Journalists really need to be skeptical of any and all framing coming from this administration. There's a lot of double speak and obfuscation.
I'm no data analyst, but it sure looks like gas prices dropped a lot in 2024. But I just can't remember who was president then.
Meet the recently fired federal scientists who have done amazing work to make us healthier, smarter and more prosperous. I love the Silenced Science Stories project.
Yeah, hard no.
There is not a single congressional district in the U.S. where more than 15% of voters support cuts to Medicaid.
This is bonkers.
More of this,please. www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...
More of this please.
So THAT'S how you get brain worms.
Tee hee
He can call it the Sea of Hogwarts for all I care. Why is every stupid thing he says reported as news? He's stripping human beings of their constitutional rights every day. That's news.
