Kids in High School: “I don’t understand why I have to take basic science classes.  When I am ever going to use this stuff in my life?!”  As adults: “Vaccines cause autism, GMOs are unsafe, climate change is a lie, and the earth is flat.  I’ve done my research.  If you disagree with me, you’re sheep!”

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...

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.

President Obama served food at soup kitchens on Thanksgiving. The orange felon shares staged propaganda photos of himself with troops from 2019 on Thanksgiving because he’s a 5-time draft dodging traitor lying criminal. How far we’ve fallen.

To be clear, the only reason the orange felon and fascist republicans are suddenly in support of releasing the Epstein Files is because bribe for hire Pam Bondi and lunatic Kash Patel spent months scrubbing all damaging info about him. The cover up is what they were waiting for.

Why did it take several days for Trump’s “Quiet, Piggy” insult of a female reporter to gain traction in news coverage? Because it happened on a Friday night, when many journalists had started their weekend. And because, sadly, he's trained the media to think accepting his insults is part of the job.

Why the fuck didn’t any other reporter on Air Force One that night call Trump out for his disgusting remark? Why the fuck didn’t any other reporter on Air Force One defend this female reporter? And why the fuck did it take 72 hours to hear about Trump’s disgusting & cowardly insult?

If I was on Air Force One, and I heard Trump address a female reporter as “piggy,” I’d have gotten in his face and demanded he apologize to her. Why did no one say anything to Trump? I’m pissed off about this. Have a watch.👇 open.substack.com/pub/socialco...

Donald Trump and his lapdog Republicans just shut down the federal government after refusing to protect Americans from an imminent spike in health insurance costs. This is what the GOP stands for.

Gupta: It is safe. That’s what the best-quality research shows. And how irresponsible, using the podium of the WH to put this out there when you’re not even offering an alternative. That is dangerous. An untreated fever is dangerous. Untreated pain in pregnancy is dangerous.

There is no world in which it is normal for the president to publicly call upon his attorney general to hurry up and prosecute his political foes. It’s like the Watergate tapes but posted on social media. Let’s get a grip on what’s happening here.

“Forget the myths that the media has created about the White House. The truth is, these are not very bright guys…” -All the President’s Men (1976)
A scene from the movie, ALL THE PRESIDENT’S MEN. An older white man stands in a darkened parking garage. He stands beside a concrete column. Only the silhouette of his head and shoulders is visible. A ray of light hits his eyes so we can see them.

Instead of the angry finger-pointing, can we just for one day agree that it is horrible and monstrous to shoot another human? On behalf of my family, we send love to the Kirks and to all the children, parents and innocents who fall victim to senseless gun violence.
