I certainly don't mean to suggest that overall government service we have now is as good as Tesla's once was, but it is far better than the utter destructive vision being offered by Musk and D.O.G.E.

With the AP reporting that Musk and Trump want to cut 80000 jobs from the Department of Veteran Affairs, it is worth asking what plausible theory other than outright nihilism can be offered to justify this action.

I think the answer lies in what Musk did at Tesla. The automaker once offered caring, concierge like service to owners. Musk managed to convince himself it was OK to replace that by phone trees to nowhere and AI chat bots, meaning in effect there is NO customer service now. 1/2

Republicans want to kill your grandparents.

They want to cut Medicaid by nearly a trillion bucks so billionaires keep more money in their accounts.

Medicaid pays for nursing home care.

You know, Jeff Bezos, you can get as buff and lean as you want. Your decision to cancel the Washington Post endorsement smells like fear, and you look just like another weak a** p**sy caving to the school yard bully Trump. That's how he sees it, guaranteed.

Listen to Aunt May/Marisa Tomei!

Vote for the future of the planet, and get your ballots in early.

Only one side will work to mitigate climate change.

Love to see this. Reminder of one of the many things done by the Biden-Harris administration-

Rip to Willie Mays. Greatest baseball player ever. Played with grace and joy.

Lauren Windsor got Justice Alito on tape admitting he is fully with the MAGA Christian Nationalist agenda. In contrast, Justice Roberts said we are not a Christian Nation and the court has no role in adjudication of morality.

Carson and Freeman fell in love in what appears to have been a romantically charged yet platonic relationship, evidenced in surviving beautiful letters from Carson to Freeman.

Carson died from breast cancer in 1964. Her work is among the most important in world history.

This #PrideMonth, I want to honor the many contributions of LGBTQ+ scientists to our world.

I will start with one of my personal heroes, Rachel Carson.

In 1962, Silent Spring was published, which rocked the world and ignited the modern environmental movement. Carson argued eloquently and convincingly that pesticides, DDT especially, were being magnified up the food chain and taking song birds and raptors, including the Bald Eagle.

Thinning egg shells caused by the pesticides made raptor eggs especially vulnerable.

Carson was vilified by chemical companies, but ultimately, her courage prevailed as DDT was banned in the US and any countries. Pres. Carter awarded her the Presidential Medal of Freedom posthumously in 1980.

This quiet marine biologist lived by the sea the last twelve years of her life, where she met a neighbor, Dorothy Freeman and her husband.

The loan from Daewoo, a South Korean firm with ties to North Korea, was not disclosed and was paid down to about $4.3M five months after Trump took office.

I can not find a source for the claim in the video that Un says Trump owes him.

It stands out that Trump hid the loan, which only came out in 2022 in the NY state lawsuit against Trump.

Holy. Fvck.

Kim Jong Un says Trump took out a multimillion dollar loan from him and has not paid it back.

Obviously, Un is of questionable credibility. Nevertheless, watch this and see what you think.

For some strange reason, I feel like celebrating the Centennial state, where I was born a...ah...few years ago. What a glorious state to practice accountable democracy in.

The MAGA Republican perspective of immigrants, a superposition of opposing views, both wrong at the same time.

Thank you Dr. Jessica Wade
