It feels so shitty being a parent right now. We want the kids to have a semi normal childhood which means we have to put on a stupid charade every day when all I want to do is rip my clothes off in the middle of the street and scream WHAT THE FUCK.

There are 2 previous historical cases of countries destroying their science and universities, crippling them for decades: Lysenkoism in the USSR and Nazi Germany. The Trump administration will be the 3rd.
It's not just budgets but research, institutions, expertise, and training the next generation.

I would like to see Charlie Kirk debate someone like Pete Buttigieg. CK is not that smart - he’s just a bully who picks on kids.

I don’t want any do good democrats to tell me ever again that “iT’s A cOnSpIrAcy ThEOrY” that Trump and the republicans are hunting and disappearing legal citizens and residents of America again.
Anyone downplaying this in that way is lying about the reality of what is happening.
Important: They're now trying to deport *another* student, 21-year-old Yunseo Chung, a legal permanent resident, under the statute authorizing SecState to remove people deemed threat. She's lived here since childhood.

Rubio is at the center of many of Trump's most lawless and destructive actions.

I protested today at the 3-14 veterans march in Montpelier, VT.

It was amazing to meet so many veterans who are making their voices heard, and telling the tRump regime that fascism has no place here.

Certainly seems that way.
American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

Time to start showing up peeps.
I respect the hell out of every vet that protested today.

Vance really thought “You know what would be a good idea? I should take a vacation in Bernie’s state.”
Wow: JD Vance is apparently skiing in Vermont this weekend and the locals aren’t having it. Thousands have lined the streets in protest.

Bluesky is great but I wish there was also a true replacement to Facebook/Insta which connect ppl locally. FB is ingrained in our lives and still where all the local events, groups, and organizing is happening. It’s difficult to have a brick & mortar business without FB. I have to have it for work.
