Not only is he proposing rounding people up and putting them in camps but he’s also proposing to pay for it by introducing a national tax on cannabis, which apparently is a totally fine drug unlike Lexapro

Why is the world broken? This is why. Everyone — and I mean everyone — needs to take a long, hard look in the mirror. We seem to have forgotten some basic truths recently. www.newscentermaine.com/article/news...

Please share! Most people don't know about this crucial resource. #ASafeChoice is a referral network of experienced physicians providing access to safe, affordable medication abortion services to women NATIONWIDE! With potential abortion bans on the way, this is ESSENTIAL information to spread.

I would absolutely rather talk about astrophysics than health — partly because it’s where my expertise lies and partly because it’s more fun — but as a human person with a frustratingly biological existence (and friends and family who are also humans) it’s real hard to just ignore this dire stuff

So here’s something that doesn’t receive enough attention: University governing boards have no oversight. They appoint their own successors and only *they* can remove themselves. There is literally zero accountability. At least corporate boards (theoretically) answer to shareholders.

Anyone know if there’s a way to cross-post using Blue Sky to other platforms? I know the answer is likely no since they’re not owned by Meta or anything, but thought I’d ask.

Denver gave people experiencing homelessness $1k/month. A year later, nearly half had housing. They also had fewer ER visits, nights spent in a hospital, and jail stays. The report estimates that this reduction in public service use SAVED the city $589k. www.businessinsider.com/denver-basic...

Denver gave people experiencing homelessness $1,000 a month. A year later, nearly half of participants said they had housing.

Participants in Denver's basic-income program reported having more-secure housing, though results were similar in the trial and control groups.

Leaving Wisconsin tomorrow with mixed feelings. I miss home, but the productivity I had here was the best in my career. I wish I had more of this.

Holy moly my follower list just exploded! Apologies if I have not followed you back yet. I’m having a hard time keeping up with it! Plus I’m presently on sabbatical and bouncing around from place to place, knee-deep in various projects. Looking forward to getting more active here!

A handful of billionaires now have unprecedented control over banking, the food we eat, the health care we can access and, now, the information we receive. This is what oligarchy looks like.

Billionaire grifters are about to dismantle your government. So instead of your tax dollars going to your Medicare or your Medicaid or your affordable care act or to veterans benefits or your social security - it will go to THEM in the form of tax cuts for the wealthy.

Colors of an aurora depend not only on which element is emitting light, but also on *where* it is. Oxygen at high altitudes glows red; at lower altitudes it glows green. Purple nitrogen is lower still. Weird, right? 🧪
