Meme with a photo of a fountain drink machine with a cup sitting under two nozzles (red and blue), a hand pushing both buttons at once and liquid coming from both nozzles. The blue (left) drink is labelled "grateful for the insight I have gained from all my experiences" and the red (right) drink is labelled "still thinks some of that sh*t should not have happened". The hand is labelled "me".
*sigh* early morning call from IT saying my work computer is kaput is not how I wanted to start the last week of the semester 🫠
It's notable that Sen. Ossoff is pressing this attack in a tight re-election fight in a purple state. The rest of the party needs to pay attention.
I am again asking people to pay attention to what has happened to our National Science Foundation and by extension thousands of researchers across the country.
The devastation is ongoing and worthy of continued outcry to officials and journalists. 🧪

Excited to think about the relational ethics of young children's more-than-human encounters and multispecies kinmaking at my first #NARST26 #NARST2026 this weekend! #QuickTrip #HavetoComeBackToTeachonTuesdayMorning #IWasInterestedInTheWritingButNowImInterestedInTheScience
it's shiba shedding season #HairHairEverywhere #TimeToVacuum
A nationwide warrant has been issued in the first criminal charges against an ICE agent for on-duty actions during the enforcement surge in Minnesota.
But sure he is stark mad
...for some reason, the Hamilton soundtrack came on while I was working, and I just lost it in this damn hotel lobby #ImNotCryingYoureCrying #HeIsWorkingThroughTheUnimaginable
We're headed to court to challenge President Trump's new executive order that illegally attempts to heavily restrict access to mail-in voting.
Add your name to the petition to support our work to protect voting rights.
Impossible to disagree with a single word that Ben Rhodes (Obama era NSC official) is saying here:
The President of the United States is threatening to commit war crimes and wipe out a "whole civilization" — all because he started a disastrous war of his own making and had no plan and no strategy for how to end it.
This is abhorrent, and the American people do not support this.
Trump Truth Social post
Donald Trump just threatened to unilaterally destroy an entire civilization.
Is there genuinely no limit to what Republicans will allow this unhinged, unwell man to do?
Congress must come back to Washington to rein in this dangerous behavior immediately.
Trump truth social post: A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don't want that to happen, but it probably will. However, now that we have Complete and Total Regime Change, where different, smarter, and less radicalized minds prevail, maybe something revolutionarily wonderful can happen, WHO KNOWS? We will find out tonight, one of the most important moments in the long and complex history of the World. 47 years of extortion, corruption, and death, will finally end. God Bless the Great People of Iran!
Sickeningly evil. Donald Trump must be impeached.
When will it be enough for my Republican colleagues to grow spines and remove him from office?
Let me say this plainly: Iranian children have as much of a right to live and thrive as American children.
Their babies MUST be as precious to me as my 6 niblings and my baby grandnib are IF I want them to have a future.
If I want a future for my kin AND humanity, I MUST act like it.
So must you.
The President just threatened genocide.
The Joint Chiefs of Staff must disregard any such military orders that violate federal and international law.
Republicans in Congress can't hide anymore: we must consider all options – including impeachment – to stop Trump.
Screenshot of a tweet by Rep. Ted Lieu stating that U.S. military law prohibits war crimes, including strikes on civilian infrastructure that cause disproportionate harm. The tweet warns that service members must disobey illegal orders and could face prosecution by a future administration if they commit war crimes.
Rep. Ted Lieu isn't backing down.
Trump statement threatening Iran to open Strait of Hormuz
This is a horrifying threat of genocidal war crimes. The lives of civilians and service members alike are at stake here.
Congress must stop this war and remove Trump from the White House.
"History will judge-" let me stop you right fucking there, history doesn't do fucking shit, I'm a historian, let's be clear here: elected officials need to do their fucking jobs, right now, before it happens, or future historians will judge THEM. Everyone knows and knew who Trump was.
The Mississippi Miracle is the result of gaming the system. They held back the lowest scoring students from promotion to 4th grade, which then suddenly raise their 4th grade NAEP scores.

Today I learned I can read German
I understand the impulse not to let this guy's statements dictate the news cycle but the fact that he can say shit like this and it barely causes a ripple in the media is a key to his ability to maintain power. Constantly pushing the bar of normality downwards, no pressure to take responsibility.
O, it is excellent
To have a giant’s strength; but it is tyrannous
To use it like a giant.
The devil can cite Scripture for his purpose.
Absolutely stunning! Wowzers! Congrats, @mgardnerkelly.bsky.social 💜
