the american jewish establishment has made it transparently clear that you can hate jews and wish for jesus to come back and convert and kill us all, so long as you’re pro-israel. conversely, it doesn’t matter if you’re an observant jew—if you’re anti-israel you’re as good as david duke to them.

The first time Charlie Chaplin used his voice in a film, he wielded it to forcefully condemn the rising forces of fascism around the globe. Will we listen to his words today?

✨📚 We're thrilled to announce that after being unavailable for 7 years, the digital omnibus collection of the first three Myst novels is once again available as The Myst Trilogy! Buy them for the FIRST TIME EVER on Amazon Kindle and Apple Books 👇
A promotional image for The Myst Trilogy eBook. The text reads “Available Now – The Myst Trilogy – A digital omnibus collecting the first three Myst novels.” The background is textured leather with metal rivets, reminiscent of an antique book cover. A Kindle e-reader displays a stylized sketch of a machine and a short passage of text beneath it.

When I think about attacks on Black access to higher education, I think about Edward Bouchet, the first Black American PhD. It was from Yale in 1876, in physics. He clearly loved physics. He also wasn’t allowed to continue a research career because he was Black. He did teach at an HBCU. 🧪⚛️

The "unitary executive theory" is not a theory but a rational-seeming veneer to stop people seeing the simple power grab for what it is. The antidote is people speaking plainly & ubiquitously on why this "theory" is just bullshit, until it's common knowledge that many experts think it's bullshit

This is a hugely important and well-sourced report showing that DOGE isn't gone but burrowing in and becoming normalized across the federal government. And there's evidence that reporting throughout the DOGE network still goes up to Musk's right-hand man.

Vibert Douglas fought against gender discrimination in her field, earned an MBE for her war service, was a celebrated astrophysicist and one of the first individuals to receive the Order of Canada. This is her remarkable story. 🧵 1/8
The photo is a black-and-white image featuring a large telescope mounted inside a domed observatory. The telescope, with its long cylindrical body and intricate support structure, is angled upward. A person, dressed in a textured jacket, stands beside the telescope, adjusting or inspecting it with their hand on a control mechanism. The background shows the interior of the observatory with a curved, paneled ceiling and a railing, giving the scene a vintage, scientific atmosphere.
