Hakeem Jeffries: "Trying to remove the president from office for gross misconduct will distract from our messaging focus, which is 'the president is extremely bad'"

I'm a data scientist @ourworldindata.org and I need help from a botanist or someone local to Kyoto, Japan! 🌸

We present one of the world’s longest climate records: 1,200 years of peak cherry blossom dates in Kyoto.

The researcher who maintained it, Prof. Yasuyuki Aono, sadly passed away last year.

Hit Refresh on the U.S. Constitution - Dr. Paul Zeitz HIT REFRESH ON THE U.S. CONSTITUTION Our democratic future isn’t determined by corporate elites and anti-democratic groups, but by people. The revolution is peaceful. The roadmap is here. ORDER NOW HI...

It is long past time to refresh the Constitution. The bad guys at the Heritage Foundation is working on their version. The good guys need to work on our version: drpaulzeitz.org/hit-refresh-...

in a stunning victory, Donald Trump has forced the Iranian government to profit tens of billions of dollars a year against their will

Personally I think when a world leader announces “Tune in tonight at 8pm Eastern to watch the world end” like it’s the fucking season premiere of Roseanne we should have a different leader the next day.

BREAKING: Trump announces two week window for Congress to remove him from office

Nuremberg was an important symbol of German nationhood so I say with 100% sincerity that this is a job for Philadelphia

Why don't I see your names here @beyer.house.gov @kaine.senate.gov @markwarner.bsky.social ? This should be obvious.

not sure if the fifa peace prize has my full respect anymore

25th amendment. Impeachment. I will support any avenue to remove Donald Trump from office. We cannot leave this man in charge of America’s nuclear weapons as he threatens to end an entire civilization. And Congress must not fund this reckless administration.

Intercommunications for the Fertile Earth by Paige Emery. A person with long dark hair, dressed in shades of blue, stands in a room surrounded by plants and other things in shades of blue, including a tall stand that holds up a blue piece of glass. Blue bottles in a windowsill hold yet more plants. Even the floor is blue.

Combien de carnages encore pour que nous commencions tout doucement à prendre conscience de la continuité organique et idéologique entre le génocide de Gaza, les camps de concentration d'ICE et le régime du crime de masse aux frontières de l'Europe.

i know enough about LLMs to understand bluesky being down is probably unrelated to their recent statements about vibe coding but the timing is so funny i think they should just take this one on the chin and give it up to the haters

If a target group is configured with HTTPS health checks, its registered targets fail health checks if they support only TLS 1.3. These targets must support an earlier version of TLS, such as TLS 1.2.

Dear AWS: what the fuck.

Eleanor Roosevelt’s new york state gun permit from August 5th 1957. She is elderly with a fur stole, listed as writer and lecturer

Eleanor Roosevelt’s gun permit (which she got it around the time the klan put a $25k bounty on her head). What a vibe

There is a path. It’s the path that Michael Vick walked. He has worked with the Humane Society for the last 17 years to educate folk about animal cruelty. He says he’ll do that work for the rest of his life.

Call me when Louis or Kanye devotes even one weekend to making reparation.

This is one of the most important stories of the week that you probably missed. The trump admin is basically taking something that belongs to all of us & giving it to political hacks & corporate donors. It’s an outrage & we should push back hard.

I'd read a piece of historical fiction about a pistol-packing 73-year-old former First Lady taking on the Klan.

This thread is a cognitohazard designed to get you to subscribe to a substack that claims it’s set in our world but is actually set in a neighboring one where this administration is a highly competent pack of operators planning everything five steps in advance.

I read 80% of consumer use of chatbots as "I am ready to chew my own leg off to stop trying to deal with the administrative complexity modern life has inflicted on me," we really are at the "deus ex machina required" stage of Too Much for people managing jobs, families, health, school, lives.

One of the hardest things to get across to most software people with great intentions is *how strong defaults are* and how tired everyone else is of dorking around trying to get things to work, but this understanding is the thing that made Apple, for all its many flaws, such a giant.

Once again Bill Kristol to the left of most Dems is not a good a sign.

Appreciate what Bill has been doing through this but it’s fucking embarrassing that he’s more thoughtful than most Dems.

This black and white photo shows a Black man wearing a dark suit. He has a goatee, and a gold watch chain is visible on his suit vest.

Robert Smalls was born enslaved in SC on this day in 1839. During the Civil War, he commandeered a Confederate ship & sailed it to Union waters, thereby freeing himself, his family, & several enslaved crew members & their families. He later served in the SC Legislature & Congress.

On the 58th anniversary of Dr. King's assassination, it's time to reckon with the media's troubling role in the civil rights struggle. (I pitched this to @nytimes.com who found it "fascinating..[but] the news is making deeper & certainly more historical pieces very hard." But they're the news.) A 🧵

Wilson Building Bulletin: Pepco and politics Also: The fight over the youth curfew in D.C. intensifies, and the council overrides Bowser.

This week, the D.C. Council unanimously voted to override Mayor Bowser's veto of a bill that would require D.C. police officers to record the names of federal agents at arrest scenes.
