Take the time to listen all the way through. Powerful insight I’d never thought about.

Our national security is so fucked right now and for years to come.

Holding on to this one.

A hilarious summary

Damnatio memoriae. Tear down all monuments. Remove his name from all buildings. Remove all vestiges of his time in office.

These people are unbelievable…

One way you know Dolly Parton lived life the right way: I don’t think anyone’s going to get fired for accurately quoting Dolly Parton today.

This is what we’re up against…and the key to winning.

Damn.

REMEMBER: They all knew.

Excellent advice for voters, reposted by a friend:

The man makes a good point. Too often forgotten.

Sums it up nicely.

When you elect a carnival barker to the Presidency…

“It” - That’s best descriptor I’ve heard for Trump so far. Some other form of life that only vaguely resembles a person.

Sounds obvious when you see it writing, yet I’ve never thought about it that way: “The capitalist is […] the man who has arranged not to compete.”

Lest we forget.

Socialism for the wealthy, feudalism for everyone else.

I think it was about the time I was learning about wave functions that I began to understand most of our world exists as distributions and not absolutes. Bimodal, sure. Binary, absolutely not.

Hashime Murayama's skill as an illustrator was one of the reasons why the Pap smear is used in today's cervical cancer screenings. Because of his ethnicity, he was arrested & detained in Ellis Island after Pearl Harbor was bombed. 🧪🐡 #SciArt www.pbs.org/wgbh/america...

Spread this one far and wide.

An interesting and informative link.

Jeff Daniel’s is spot on.

One of my favorites as a kid.

Working in an area chock full of chemical plants and refineries, I can’t help but wonder if Iran has already smuggled the parts or technology to build and launch Shaheed drones in the US? A target rich environment without any apparent defenses. Would suck for us…

This is how upside down this country is now.

Reflecting on Sagan for Easter. So spot on. “Think of the endless cruelties visited by the inhabitants of one corner of this pixel on the scarcely distinguishable inhabitants of some other corner…so that, in glory and triumph, they could become the momentary masters of a fraction of a dot.”

Made a reference to the Island of Misfit Toys today. Not one got it.

Spot on.

Another example why "consider the source" is so important these days. Informative thread.

lol, truth.

Just Trump giving the UN a big F.U.

Das Boot

Trump tried everything possible to create riots in Los Angeles, Portland and Chicago and failed. Even had film crews in tow to create propaganda videos. Instead they got peaceful resistance and observers. Upped ante in Minnesota hoping for George Floyd murder response. Failed again. Miserably.

So, if I remember my Schoolhouse Rock correctly. Mr. Bill then goes to the Senate and, if they pass it, on to the President’s desk where he has the power to veto it? Where’s the win in this one?

The momentum is building. This gives me hope.

“Kinetic action”. Am I the only one that thinks it’s one of the dumbest terms to come along in a while? Is there a static action? Call it what it is - the use of military force.

It’s going to be pretty embarrassing for Trump and his DOJ clown car when they can’t get a conviction for Maduro. Wonder what happens then?

A good read.

All this discussion about lawful military orders has me thinking about Hugh Thompson, Jr. A man of courage and integrity. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hugh_Th....

The problem is most people lack the capacity to, or won’t, play the tape forward to its logical end. Actions have consequences.

So in one courtroom the DOJ is arguing that a sandwich thrown into an armor-wearing officer is a forcible assault while simultaneously in another courtroom DOJ says tackling protestors or shooting them in the head with less lethal munitions does not count as use of force. One rule for thee...

How many people are willing to risk everything for our democracy? Personally, I think we have to bring them to their knees financially to have any impact. Which probably means significant financial discomfort and risk for everyone.

A protest alone doesn’t. But it builds the movement that does.

Houston, we can do better!
