Happy 86th birthday, Margaret Atwood! ❤️

Thank you for a lifetime of novels, poems, essays, and stories.

We love this beautifully humanist sentiment, too.

Head to a protest today. I can almost promise you will feel less hopeless. That's exactly what they don't want. There are more of us than there are of them.

In the 1995 book The Demon Haunted World, Carl Sagan warned that the US was turning its back on science, and that the consequences would be dire.

Near the start of their new book, Michael E. Mann and Peter J. Hotez argue that what the astronomer feared is now coming to pass.

All I want in life is to persuade everyone, when encountering politics & culture, to ask, "why are we talking about this?" I mean that very literally: anything you encounter on your screens reflects a choice. Someone covered that, talked about that, rather than the many other things out there. Why?

Even if you support massive deportation operations, under no circumstances should ANYONE be ok with US citizens being forcibly removed from their homes and detained without explanation.

This is a clear violation of their constitutional rights and should universally condemned.

“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.”

Jane Fonda has relaunched @1acommittee.bsky.social, originally formed by her father Henry Fonda during the McCarthy era.

"This administration is moving fast," she says of Trump's crackdown on dissent. "We have to do everything we can to stop what's happening before it becomes the norm."

Good morning with good news: EVs have ~11% energy loss, so "most of the energy that goes into the car ends up turning the wheels."

Oil burning autos waste ~"80% of the energy that gets pumped into their gas tanks."

Electrostate for the win!

Don’t ever let anyone tell you that we can’t do big things.
