So many impeachments. So, so many impeachments need to happen before we can move forward.

The task of de-Trumpification of science and public health will take a generation and a "Marshall Plan" to rebuild. Without a bold, expansive vision to guide us, there is no coming back. Small-bore, poll-tested versions of the future will not help us. www.thenation.com/article/soci...
The only way you could get me wearing these is if they had a little switch on the side that I could press to cycle through seven 3-D images from Return of the Jedi
1. This weekend, a federal judge permanently blocked funding threats to providers and hospitals that provide trans youth care.
The judge also blocked "any similar policy."
Hospitals have NO excuse and must return to providing care under many blue state laws.

The secret fear of the morally depraved is that virtue is actually common, and that they're the ones who are alone. In Minnesota, all of the ideological cornerstones of MAGA have been proved false at once. Minnesotans, not the armed thugs of ICE and the Border Patrol, are brave. Minnesotans have shown that their community is socially cohesive-because of its diversity and not in spite of it. Minnesotans have found and loved one another in a world atomized by social media, where empty men have tried to fill their lonely soul with lies about their own inherent superiority. Minnesotans have preserved everything worthwhile about "Western civilization," while armed brutes try to tear it down by force.
Really powerful, hopeful paragraph from the latest article in the Atlantic by @adamserwer.bsky.social
1. In a landmark ruling, the Montana Supreme Court has declared that the constitution, one of the most progressive in the nation, entirely protects transgender people.
The ruling is even insulated from SCOTUS decisions, due to how state constitutions work.

Exactly one year ago today:
the best dinosaur is clearly Iguanodon, because of all the dinosaurs it most resembled a middle-aged Sicilian-American dock-worker with a switchblade
finally, a train we can hate
The massive Orban defeat should prompt Dems to align themselves more firmly with anti-fascist and pro-democracy forces abroad. There's a powerful link to be drawn between the celebrations in Budapest and the confrontations with ICE in Minneapolis. 1/

New York shouldn't rush a censorship mandate for 3D printers into the budget. Many experts have already warned that it won't work. It's faulty surveillance infrastructure smuggled in a budget bill. NYers, act now! www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...
Other false media statements identified in the Kash Patel complaint:
1. Special Agents do not, in fact, refer to him as “J. Edgar Shart”
2. Patel did, in fact, know that the FBI is part of the Executive Branch and that Wyoming is a state. He just always looks surprised when you tell him things.

@thisfirepod.bsky.social I'm finally all caught up and now I'm jonesing for the next episode.
I did not guess that CPAC was funded by the Hungarian government. Had not occurred to me. That's a wild one.
Your b******* is what we are looking for

Good long-form summary from Mother Jones on the Trump assault on affirming care to date and what could happen as it continues weaponizing Medicare and Medicaid against hospitals, which together cover early half of all hospital care spending.

That works out to $12,602.74 a day.
Then these cops will accuse people of being drug dealers if they have more than a few hundred bucks on them or terrorists if they transfer a chunk of cash between accounts.

Every single one of the astronauts who went to the moon and back on Artemis II was educated at a public school.
Thinking of the teachers who poured into Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen tonight. You helped send a kid to the moon!

I'm one of those trans women. I worked ground ops for Artemis I.
I am torn between celebrating the success of my friends and peers and grieving how my dream of working for NASA was shattered by hateful assholes in Tallahassee
🚨New preprint and our results are rather concerning..
We find the "boiling frog" equivalent of AI use. Using large-scale RCTs, we provide *casual* evidence that AI assistance reduces persistence and hurts independent performance.
And these effects emerge after just 10–15 minutes of AI use!

in a stunning victory, Donald Trump has forced the Iranian government to profit tens of billions of dollars a year against their will
There’s nothing I hate more than agreeing with Tucker Carlson, but here I am!
It’s probably nothing. 🤡
