Shhh. I'm reading (occasionally interrupted by ranting on social media).

Impressive.

I see it’s time to post this again, which I wrote the last time the Trump camp pulled this bullshit. www.funraniumlabs.com/2017/03/want...

So, You Want To Test A Nuclear Weapon? - Funranium Labswww.funraniumlabs.com I dedicate the following rant to my Lovely Assistant, who can probably recite this by heart now, and Meredith Yayanos who hit boggleface about halfway through an in person version and asked “PLEASE, W...

Where did this come from? Is this another Biden achievement that no one bothered to advertise?

first cohort of the American Climate Corps has been sworn in. 9,000 people will be deployed in the coming weeks to restore landscapes, erect solar panels, and work on environmental projects across America. #ShareGoodNewsToo grist.org/solutions/am...

The American Climate Corps officially kicks offgrist.org This month, 9,000 people will be deployed to restore landscapes and erect solar panels, helping guide the country toward a greener future.

The anti-Hillary headlines didn't surprise me. Repubs were terrified of her. What surprised and disappointed me was how many people fell for the propaganda.

Today's feed is all fireworks hate (I get it) and cannibalism.

Any actual journalists present and willing to speak?

An aspiring dictator & convicted felon w history of treason may win the presidency. Profoundly corrupt SCOTUS justices undermined the constitution and gave him immunity from prosecution for past & future crimes. This is all political journalists should be writing about 24/7. We’re at the precipice.

😭 I am LIVING for the moment Del Party leadership gets kicked to the curb and someone with guts takes over and helps us fight.

+1,000%

Keeping Trump out of the White House isn’t the only thing that needs doing and it isn’t enough to solve all problems facing the country & world but if it isn’t done then all those problems get exponentially worse in ways I don’t even know how to express and it scares me when people pretend otherwise

a lot of people who don't seem interested in the order in which these things have to happen also don't really get that in order for biden to issue any kind of threat with teeth, he's got to have congressional democrats behind him, nearly to a man and woman. call your congresscritters.

i don't know whether AOCs call for impeaching the justices will be the right one (it doesn't have a chance in hell of getting through), but the conversation has to start with congress, who are prime offenders in letting the court get to this point, and i'm encouraged someone there recognizes that

Drat. I'd forgotten this crucial moment.

March 23 1933, the Enabling Act becomes law in Germany, giving the chief executive power enforce his own laws without checks and balances. The passing of the Act marked the formal transition from democratic republic to totalitarian dictatorship. 6 months later, it was a 1 party state.

It's important to note that Trump tried to order this at least twice we know of during his regime.

right. the president could order troops to suppress protesters using live fire and the supreme court would extend that absolute immunity

Excellent suggestion.

If you're going to call a Senator who is not your Senator, call the Senate Majority Leader's office. Schumer's phone number is (202) 224-6542

Hmmm. I wonder if we could get some small number of people, say, 100,000, to do this?

Another thing you can do is call Dick Durbin's office and demand he stand up for democracy and haul Alito and Thomas before the Senate Judiciary Committee. And publicly demand their resignations. If you can't literally impeach them, AT LEAST use the bully pulpit. 202-224-2152.

This is only problematic if a large number of stupid people vote for a felon without morals, ethics, or intelligence. So. Yeah. We're in trouble.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Biden says Supreme Court decision on immunity means 'there are virtually no limits' on a president's actions.

What is the hysteria over today's SC ruling? They ruled that official acts are protected and unofficial acts are not. Jan 6 was not an official act, it was a post-campaign event. Thus, the orange one is not protected.

Have you called yet? If we each put 10% of our social media energy into real world actions, we could start a landslide.

I did not watch the debate but I read some follow-up (fall-out?) reports. Tomorrow I'm going to adopt a cat and live indoors with it forever. Or for as long as the world lasts.

We need to broaden out from the 💚 for responding to skeets. We DEF need a "sarcasm noted and approved" symbol.

Absurd on so many levels. Shut down AI now and save the flood of additional greenhouse emissions. Set those people to work on sustainable able energy solutions.

Bill Gates says artificial intelligence will "pay for itself" when it comes to its associated greenhouse gas emissions as the technology will help push forward the energy transition

Bill Gates Says AI’s Green Benefits Will Outweigh Its Emissionswww.bloomberg.com The Microsoft Corp. co-founder says data centers will be less energy-intensive in the future as artificial intelligence makes computations more efficient.

Read, along with the linked story.

Every climate scientist I know reacted to this bill like it was Christmas and Mardi Gras rolled into one, and hardly anybody has any idea it happened at all.

Today's good read.

1/ Last year, I became obsessed with a plastic cup. The cup was made via pyrolysis — a kind of chemical recycling I'd heard a lot about. The plastics industry made pyrolysis sound magical. It was a way to turn hard-to-recycle plastics into new plastic. So I tried to buy the cup…

the erasure of 20+ years of news stories here is yet another sign that future generations will have much richer knowledge of the 1930s than they will the GW Bush and Obama years. The wayback machine is carrying a lot of weight these days. If that goes, adios: variety.com/2024/digital...

We must protect each other to survive

Even before mask bans become law, simply the act of politicians speaking about mask wearers as criminals is stigmatizing a critical public health tool, and encouraging harassment of marginalized groups. That is incredibly reckless and making our cities more unsafe.

Putting it out to the universe: I am looking for an org I can help online, preferably a queer org, maybe needing bookkeeping or data entry help? Anyone know of anything/can point me to a source?

Everywhere you look, people are fighting the long battle every day.

Newbern, Alabama – a small town an hour away from Selma – will hold its first legitimate elections in over 60 years after a four-year legal battle The proposed settlement will also reinstate Patrick Braxton, who sued white leadership, as the mayor

Small Alabama Town Wins Lawsuit Allowing Residents To Vote For First Time In Decadeswww.huffpost.com Patrick Braxton, the first Black mayor in Newbern’s history, will be reinstated.

Proud to say I never stopped masking.

I'm heartbroken most days but there's so much to do; I want to hope people will move in solidarity. I hope people start masking again. Even if you feel weird, even if you begin imperfectly, even if you don't "feel" you need to. If you stopped masking you can always start again. Please please do.

This is, in all ways, unacceptable. 😠

“Immunocompromised people shouldn’t be gathering in large groups anyway” is making me cry today, man. They’re saying the quiet part out loud and the only people I see really making noise about this are those of us who will be completely shut out of public life if these bans go through

WTAF?
