Neil deGrass Tyson: "How sad it must be believing that scientists, historians, scholars, economists, journalists devoted their entire lives to deceiving you, but a reality-TV star proven in court to be a lying felon is your beacon of truth & honesty"

If Christian Nationalist parents are allowed to have their kids opt-out of any books that dare mention anyone gay, then all the other parents should be allowed to let their kids opt-out from the Ten Commandments.

Hungary banned anything that “promotes homosexuality,” which means Pride. However, today over 500,000 people in Budapest told the government to fuck off. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Federal officers entered Rep. Jerry Nadler’s office in Lower Manhattan on Wednesday and handcuffed and briefly detained one of his aides. The confrontation happened shortly after the aide observed federal agents detaining migrants in a public hallway outside an immigration courtroom.

We need community to start standing up like this. Harlem turned out because Chick-fil-A would not close down in honor of Malcolm X‘s birthday. And yet we’re allowing people to be kidnapped without warrants and due process.

Could we fill the streets with people, block the path in protest? Stage a sit-down. I know we'd be arrested but what Trump's doing is wrong! Millions wasted for his vanity.

Since abortion became almost entirely illegal in Texas in 2021, the state has seen a significant rise in the number of women who die in pregnancy or after giving birth. A new bill aims to change that.

He can demand it. He can travel to the Middle East and pretend he's getting it. But we can be sure that most will never give it to him.

James Woods went on CNN and started crying about his house burning down and smacked talked the response from officials in California for the wildfires. But his house is still standing. Is he gonna praise firefighters and thank Gavin Newsom now or nah? Or even apologize for lying?

two posts from threads

first is from @camillecardonaa and says: I just found out that only 1.5% of Japan's population is Christian and I'm heartbroken.

second is a reply from @orangedweller and says: Hi. Japan's homicide rate is 07% per 100K. United States homicide rate is 5.7% per 100K.
Japan's unhoused population in 2024: 2,820. United States unhoused: 653,104.
Japan also has one of the highest food security rates in the whole big world. Meanwhile, in the US, 18 million people are food insecure.
Maybe this Sunday you can ask the Christians what their bible says about poor people and murder. Sorry bout your heart.

When they talk about privatizing Veterans’ care and Medicare, they mean allowing companies to provide healthcare for a profit. But how do companies make those profits? By *denying* care to many who need it. Don’t get fooled by the “privatization” label. It means “for profit” and YOU are the cost.

It shouldn’t be ignored that Kash Patel chose to plead the Fifth in response to a grand jury subpoena over the Mar-a-Lago classified documents. He only testified, involuntarily, after being granted immunity. Think about that. Trump’s FBI nominee pled the Fifth in response to a DOJ subpoena.
