A 2025 Nobel Prize winner in chemistry, Omar Yaghi is the son of Palestinian refugees who grew up in Jordan. He just left the US to move to China after raising concerns about rising anti-immigrant sentiment, like the kind shown here. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/china-than...

RFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Nobel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."

Blanche on CBS says his suit against Alaska is "asking the court to step in where the Alaska Supreme Court didn't, which is to look at federal law and if necessary to allow a process for Alaska to decide who should be certified as the winner." (So, the voters won't get to decide. Got it.)

As a professional working with victims of SA, this is all too common.

When Trump urged Ramaswamy to keep running the vile attack ad featuring Amy Acton’s estranged mother, the message to survivors of sexual abuse was unmistakable. Her mother defended Acton’s stepfather after he was accused of raping her starting at 9 years old, and lost custody of Acton & her brother.

This guy somehow is able to be MORE impressive by the day.

I've seen a lot of disgusting political commercials, and I am almost numb to the lies and gross misrepresentations at this point, but the Vivek Ramaswamy commercial with Amy Acton's mother is the worst thing I've ever seen.

Today’s night attack on St. Petersburg by Ukrainian Defense Forces was one of the most successful. It damaged an oil port, oil depot, the Ship Fairway bridge, a VK data center, and an Ozon warehouse.

Meta took down the No Kings instagram; TikTok banned the Musk documentary account for supposedly violating its political posting policies. A reminder that platforms are owned by the wealthiest of people, control the means of media distribution, & put their thumbs on the democracy scale as they wish

Students from North Carolina A&T can be seen marching back to their HBCU after voting on the first day of early voting in the state. The Guilford County Board of Elections voted to remove the school’s on-campus polling site. (video via Todd Simmons) greensboro.com/news/local/g...

El-Sayed: JD Vance called me a little weasel today. No, what you’re talking about is a fucking wolverine.

Jake Bauers went back to baseball for healthcare coverage for his pregnant wife. Don’t get me wrong, I love sports. But having to return so you won’t go bankrupt for having a baby is insane.

I’m tired of being divided into teams. Do you want a safe neighborhood? Do you want a good job with good benefits? Do you want a high quality, well funded public school? So do I. We’re far more the same than we are different. As one team, we’re unstoppable.

The US knows Ukrainian air defense relies on US early detection of Russian launches. Without telling Ukraine, the Trump White House (and Elon Musk's SpaceX) withheld that info and hindered countermeasures. The US just facilitated a Russian attack on Ukraine, making it more effective and deadlier.

Trump was asked what state his new White House press secretary, Katie Zacharia, passed the bar in. Her answer: CHINA. Does she speak Chinese? The bar exam is in Chinese, not English. Is she a Chinese citizen, as required? Homegirl wasn’t hired. She was CAST.

I want SNL to literally pull someone off the street, dress them up, and say "GO" (aka READ). That's the skit. That's the skit.

Trump: "The one I like the best is 'Gays for Palestine.' You know what they do if you happen to be gay? They throw you off the top of a building."

Find your team. We need a multi-tendency movement of movements. Find your front. And trust, it won't be the last. Then dig in and hold the fucking line.

Creepy fucker

Trump: I don't do this with men very often. I started examining his body. I looked at his ass and I looked at the whole— look at his hands.

Was I the only one raised to refrain from yelling, "MISS!" while watching the opposing team kick a field goal/extra point? Apparently it was poor sportsmanship thus only ok to "think" it.

I've been rewatching Scandal. Of course I know that "shady shit" is part of the political system from BOTH parties. It just reminded me of the LENGTHS folks will go to for the cover up. I think the Epstein Files will blow our minds, and collectively are we ready? Sure?
