We need a national amendment to guarantee the right to vote and prohibit gerrymandering

…and what was lost

It’s been a little more than a year.

I’m looking at the wreckage of my country, and I’m trying to make sense of it.

We’ve become a fascist country, but the media and political parties are still acting like it’s business as usual.

It’s surreal. Dystopian.

The fart and the squeal
The cart and the spill
Apart at the frill
The carp and the dill

…they’ll keep trying for awhile

I think you nailed it. The goalposts have moved. With the costs of code writing going down, verification, validation, and testing are even more crucial.

When do we finally recognize that Trump and the Republicans have lost the moral authority to lead?

I really love Coho salmon

I keep hoping for signs of intelligent life

I don’t understand

It seems clear to me that the Democratic congressional strategy should be to inflict pain until the Republicans start imposing some restraints on Trump

Meanwhile publicly saying that Trump is out of control, violating the constitution, …

Have your cake and eat shit too

I think a lot of people want it as

Have your shit and eat cake too

I read this fast as “eat your shit and have it too”

Trump started a war for bad reasons. He did it his way. He did it without Congressional approval.

This is a stupid, illegal war.

We must stop bombing Iran now

Trump must be impeached and removed from office

The myths about Trump are different, but things are definitely out of hand

Prince Andrew's Arrest Across the pond in Britain, justice and accountability is a serious matter

Never in a million years did I ever fathom when I resurrected the Epstein story in 2018 that it would lead to first arrest of a British Royal in four centuries. Not since King Charles I was arrested in 1647.

Exclusive: Key US infectious-diseases centre to drop pandemic preparation Staff members have been instructed to scrub this topic and ‘biodefense’ from the agency’s website.

This article is aggravating in so many ways:

Epstein Files Reveal Prosecutors’ Announcement Dated Before His Death The file dump includes multiple draft statements from federal prosecutors about the sex trafficker’s death, one of them dated the day before Epstein died.

Well, this is interesting!

The U.S. Attorney’s Office had a draft statement announcing Jeffrey Epstein’s “suicide” dated August 9, 2019.

He didn’t die until August 10.

Totally normal. Nothing to see here.

Luttig: It doesn’t matter what the Supreme Court does from this point forward. For two years, the Supreme Court has authorized the absolute lawlessness and unconstitutional activity of this president.

Gladys Mae West obituary: mathematician who pioneered GPS technology She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.

Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Epstein’s economic power among academics was made possible by a capitalist system that makes higher education dependent on the charity economy rather than a public good supported by taxing the rich

That’s very kind @aminosbilly.bsky.social notes like yours mean a lot. I shouldn’t need these kind of affirmations, a weakness. But when the alternative is nonstop death threats and calls for my public execution on other platforms, something like this from time to time is reassuring, thank you

Trump is always worse than you expect

The Trump Regime has lost the moral authority to remain in power
