In unfortunate news, one of the missions I work on, NASA TRACERS, is on the chopping block in the budget proposed by Trump and Vought.
A functional pair of sats that would just outright be shut off because the current federal government is anti science and anti exploration.
What are you smoking?
"Look, we gotta elect Democrats to implement some Republican policy," basically.
Laughing at the idea that the "first order of business if Dems win House/Senate" should be to re-introduce the right-wing immigration bill Biden/Harris tried to run on in 2024 to take the immigration issue off the table by making a ton of concessions to the anti-immigration right.
Here is a more serious take: confidentiality is one of those norms that is respected within systems in which everyone agrees on the rules of the game and trusts that others are following the rules in good faith.
william baude’s post about how the SCOTUS shadow docket leaks aren’t scandalous - and the real scandal is the leaks themselves - is an unusually clear example of when someone enmeshed in an elite network fails to appreciate that what they’ve decided to normalize is scandalous to everyone else
EXCLUSIVE:
"UK surveillance flights over Gaza were conducted with more US involvement than previously known, Federal Aviation Administration documents obtained by Zeteo reveal... [and] put the countries at risk of aiding and abetting war crimes, international legal experts told Zeteo."
Two panels of a zine. Panel One: First caption reads: "When you see the Trump regime do horrible things, do you ever yell..." Then you see a drawing of a frustrated/angry person throwing up their hands and yelling "SHUT IT ALL DOWN!" Second caption reads: "Me too!" Panel Two: Text: That's why you and I are joining MAY DAY STRONG! Image is a photo of people at a demonstration raising their fists, which have been outlined with heavy white line with power sparks coming off of them. Above that image is the Rosie the Riveter word balloon reading "We Can Do It!" Beneath that are the words: "On May 1, 2026!"
working on a little something...
Ossoff: "How does American politics really work? It's coin operated. Money goes in, favors come out. It's been running on secret money, corporate money, billionaire money ... all of this gave rise to a depraved president who exploits this rot to empower and enrich himself"
Jesus!
Absolutely crazy that voters wouldn't be inspired to vote for a candidate enabling a genocide. Nuts!
That was during his Obama phase.
None of the never Trumpers are our friends. Their only goal is to rehabilitate right wing politics for the post Trump era.
Janelle Stelson likely can't win, and if she does she's running on Trump's immigration agenda from his first term. Don't waste your money in her.
George Conway and Shawn Harris are stealing your donation money and giving it to consultants and right wing media or tech companies.
Haha. Then why did Bernie's campaign continue?
Her campaign sank because she was a bad candidate who was bad at campaigning who voters never were confident in what she believed.
Who likes employer subsidized healthcare? And mine ends up costs me $10k/yr.
If there is truth in that argument, don't you think he could give a better example, then. Or maybe this is a made up problem.
You said he gave good examples. Can you tell us which good examples he gave?
When did you first encounter this term?
Are you a lawyer?
How might that affect the party?
Can you give an example of when his example "seeped into our language?" and how that affected the trust of a population?
When was the first time me you heard the term justice involved population?
Tell me the first time you've encountered that term? If it was today, then explain how he is right.
Isn't he?
No left-aligned advocate anywhere can say anything silly or else the Dem Party must bow & scrape & apologize & promise to be more masculine going forward. The president can make a video of himself shitting on Americans from a plane & the GOP will never be asked about it. Those are just the rules.
I immediately tune out when they start using words like bourgeoisie.
My new litmus test is that any Democrat who lectures the party on how they should talk to “ordinary people” is unbelievably full of shit and doesn’t deserve your attention or your vote.
