I will say, watching the behavior of the Generals today, respectful but reserved and apolitical in the face of Trump was heartening.
Hopefully the next generation of officers, the young ones, see that and take it to heart.

My heart breaks for Eric Braeden (Victor Newman on "The Young And The Restless") who lost his family home last week in the LA Fires. He spoke out about STOPPING the spread of Misinformation & Disinformation, even though he lost EVERYTHING. Politicizing this by LYING is as DESTRUCTIVE as the fires!🙏💜

Scientists knew global warming was an issue a hundred years ago… and the right wing still denies it’s existence.

What will Fox News have to say? "Statistics, We don't need no stinking statistics?
“[2024] is expected to end with a nearly 16% drop in homicides ….
“The three consecutive years of declining homicides come in the wake of a 30% jump in murders between 2019 and 2020, the largest single-year increase in more than a century.”

Wonder why Trump threatens to attack allies? Because he is scared to death to show actual strength. But he can scream and yell at allies because it makes him LOOK strong to MAGAs and he will never have to actually prove it.
Again, he’s a frightened boy looking for dads approval

If you reject 100 percent of conspiracies, you will be right 99 percent of the time . If you believe them all, you will be right 1 percent of the time.

Oh, by the way, this is all true. Anti-vaxxers love to wipe their hands of the responsibility of their lies. The reality is that anti-vax rhetoric kills. And a lot of the time it's children who pay for it.

Paying homage to the new king. Fucking sickening.
Amazon is planning to donate $1 million to President-elect Donald Trump's inauguration, a person familiar tells CNN, confirming WSJ. That news comes after Meta also donated $1 million to the inauguration fund.

Whether it's climate change or COVID, the scientists who step up and speak out on behalf of our research communities take great risk for a chance at advancing understanding of our work beyond the Ivory Tower.
I want to thank Dr. Lynn Carter, Dr. Peter Hotez, and of course @michaelemann.bsky.social
