mRNA technology may be THE most underrated and unfairly scrutinized (fuck you COVID antivax crew) medical breakthrough in my lifetime.

Like... The things this is already showing it can do in the last 5-7 years is incredible.

Amazon, which saved $4B in taxes under Trump's Big Ugly Bill, has cut 30,000 jobs since last October.

Verizon, which saved $2B, plans to cut 15,000 jobs this year.

Meta, which saved $3B, plans to lay off 20% or more of its workforce.

Trickle-down economics is a cruel joke.

The victory of the opposition in Hungary yesterday, like the Polish election in 2023, is a victory for democracy, not just in Europe but around the world.

Thinking big here. Could Vance's magic work on greenhouse gases?

Shout out to REI-Coop, Obōz, and Smartwool!!

What about you Keen? LL Bean? Sitka Gear? Yeti? You don’t think the people who work at the USDA Forest Service wear your items? What about those of us who visit the National Forests? We love our National Forests across the 50 states!

I hate when fantasy films I made a long time ago begin to come true in real life.

In his first 100 days, Zohran Mamdani has:

-Delivered millions in restitution for workers cheated by gig companies
-Cracked down on predatory landlords
-Launched the first stage of a universal childcare program
-Fixed thousands of potholes in NYC streets

This is what leadership looks like.

Once again, I would be very happy to return to an era in which my books are not relevant to breaking news.

Journalistic malpractice and democratic betrayal.

There is no excuse for downplaying or eliding the insanity of Trump’s morning post. It is the most unhinged public comment by a president in US history and should be reported and remarked upon as such.

Imagine being locked aboard a bus. Imagine the driver raving that he wanted to drive off a cliff. Imagine the bus stopping at a gas station and a few passengers filling the tank so he could reach the cliff.
The people who pumped the gas (Republicans) would bear as much blame as the driver (Trump).

The political calculations that result in cutting NASA funding the day after the Artemis II launch must be fascinating

POTUS Proposes Elimination of Federal Library Funding. The President again requested that Congress eliminate the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) and the Innovative Approaches to Literacy (IAL) program. We've seen this before, and we're not going away. Fund Libraries, ALA 150, American Library Association.

"We are not surprised that the White House FY27 budget zeroes out funding for IMLS and IAL. The president’s intentions for IMLS were clear last year with the executive order to dismantle IMLS and cut off its funding [...] ALA members have a solid track record of defeating the president’s threats, but we do not underestimate the lengths to which he will go to undercut support for America’s libraries. ALA is working to make sure decisionmakers continue to hear from library advocates.” - ALA President Sam Helmick

NEW: The President once again called to eliminate federal library funding in his federal budget proposal. We have been here before. And when we make our voices heard, we can overcome this again.

"A nation that continues year after year to spend more money on military defense than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual doom.” -MLK

One of Ours Is Down in Iran. Here’s What That Really Means. As a former Air Force pilot, I can tell you: we trained for this exact moment. And right now, America is doing what it does better than anyone on earth.

I don't know their names. But I know exactly who they are. A pilot and a WSO are on the ground in Iran today. I wrote about what that means — and why America doesn't leave its people behind.

That's home. That's us.

This image of home just came down from the Artemis II crew.

Tenn. library director fired over refusal to move LGBTQ+ books to adult section A county board near Nashville voted to dismiss Luanne James, who said she stands by her decision, in the latest clash in a national debate over access to books.

“‘All I’m going to say is that I stand by my decision,’ she said…

“Much of the audience at the board meeting broke into cheers and applause after her statement.

Chants of ‘shame’ were heard as board members voted to fire her...”

The Bondi firing will get all the attention but what Hegseth is doing with the upper echelons of the military is much more dangerous over time than Bondi’s tenure as AG.

And it won’t get 1% of the coverage.

Someday it will get a lot of coverage, and those will be dark days.

NYTimes Headline: The Women Who Believe That Women Should Lose the Right to Vote Subhead: Adherents to biblical patriarchy support household voting: One household, one vote--the husband's. They say the idea is catching on.

The New York Times rolling up its sleeves to do the hard work of normalizing the idea that women should not have the right to vote.

I said this in replies elsewhere, but I want to say it loudly here.

Anything other than a fullthroated affirmation of birthright citizenship in this country by SCOTUS is an act of treason. It is grounds for immediate impeachment. It is a violation of every oath they have made.

Lutnick is a clown.

But as someone who will be beyond furious if they take away my right to vote safely and comfortably from home, I am still waiting for a single reporter to contradict Trump and tell him that more than 40 other countries vote by mail, including most of our democratic allies.

The viciousness of issuing this ruling on Trans Day of Visibility is so profound.

Just filled with anger and sorrow for kids across this country who deserve love, respect, and safety instead of this foul hatred.

America has tragically changed, but journalism is still stuck in old ways The swift slide into authoritarianism should have been a five-alarm fire for the media

If you're interested legacy media's failures in addressing authoritarianism, I urge you to read these two pieces by @sulliview.bsky.social. 1/ margaretsullivan.substack.com/p/america-ha...

Mainstream journalists are abdicating their duty. Cartoonists are the real heroes of the moment.

And the winner is….
