The second you leave this country for even a few days, you realize the place you call home is decaying at an almost exponential pace. The realization that you don't have to live like this is stark, and that nobody in power is taking tangible actions to fix it in your lifetime is even starker.

🚨 WOW β€” REPUBLICAN Rep. @RepThomasMassie just completely exposed the push to protect foreign pesticide corporations from lawsuits by sick farmers πŸ§‘β€πŸŒΎ being carried here in Tennessee by ex-ag sub chair @rustygrills (and @TNFarmBureau)

It has stalled for now. But… yikes, Rusty.

β€œI heard the officer say β€˜that ain’t shit’.”

NASHVILLE β€” ICE shatter a car window in front of a newborn, refuse to look at man’s license & work visa… drag him out of his car, hit him, mock him for being Guatemalan (he’s from Mexico), laugh when he begs to say goodbye.

I Caught POLITICO and the New York Times Laundering Pink Slime "News" How the sexist backlash to AOC and Gretchen Whitmer at the Munich Security Conference led me to a scammy "local news" outlet pushing a coordinated right-wing narrative

Interesting post about the coordinated anti-AOC smear campaign. It's 2016 again! Fake local news outlets on Facebook getting picked up until eventually it winds up in the Washington Post.

This is overt racism. Full stop. There’s no β€˜misinterpretation’ and no excuse. This is who he is, who he’s always been, and why he should never be anywhere near power again. And there’s a reason the tapes from The Apprentice have never been released.

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.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientistβ€”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...

Science, Politics, and Evasion: Lessons from Bhattacharya’s Senate HELP Testimony If you’ve been reading my previous posts, you will not be shocked to learn that I am no fan of NIH Director Jay Bhattacharya.

My two cents on the many misleading moments in Bhattacharya's testimony today before the Senate HELP Committee.
From claiming that there's no war on science, to claiming there weren't grant cancelations, to using loaded right-wing rhetoric, it wasn't great

This could not be more wrong. China has created a gulag state. Tibetans who bend their knee to China are better off, but there culture has been erased systematically and brutally.

I’m ok. I’m a survivor so this small agitator isn’t going to intimidate me from doing my work.

I don’t let bullies win.

Grateful to my incredible constituents who rallied behind me. Minnesota strong.

Nurses are pissed.

This is on the front page of the nursing subreddit, along with many discussions about it on several other posts.

It was an extrajudicial execution. Anyone who defends this is defending a police state.

The speed at which Republican electeds and voters rush to justify ICE killings, despite clear evidence, makes me think that this country is irreparable. I’m sorry for the doomerism, but I’m more and more questioning what the hell am I doing in this country
