Boston loves a Revolutionary War reference @ #HandsOff Boston
In front of The Embrace, a sign that reads "Boston beating kings since 1775." There are three red circles with lines through them over a British crown, the LA Kings logo and Donald Trump’s hair. Fun fact: the Boston Tea Party was a protest against tariffs. Not sure this is technically true. Massachusetts still hates kings 250 years later on one sign. On the other it reads 1 if by land, 2 if by sea, 3 if by Cybertruck A man with a Ukrainian flag draped over his shoulders holds a sign that says "How many Tesla should we throw into Boston Harbor"

A former French military base, Vauban is a thriving neighbourhood of 5,500 residents connected to Freiburg town centre by bus and light rail. Built in the late 1990s as a radical experiment in low-car living, it forgoes virtually all on-street parking in favour of active, green, and social spaces. 🧵

I'm watching CNBC. These anchors are so angry. They really didn't believe he'd do it. They're actually just now, 10 years into this shit, realizing he's a maniac hellbent on revenge and there's no grand plan for the markets. Better late than never but holy shit.

It's not a bad idea to go to the local Walmart or big box retailer and buy lots of consumables now. From toothpaste to soap, anything you can find storage space for, buy before they have to replenish inventory.

Even if it's made in the USA , they will jack up the price and blame it on tariffs.

At one of his frequent press conferences (because he loves being on TV), I'd love it if some reporter piped up with, "What do you say to people who call you a know-nothing narcissistic asshole, Mr. President?"

Pale blue event poster with “Histfest 2025” in white lettering on a bright pink background at the top left. Below it in pink,“26-27 March, British Library & Online” On the right are three portrait-shaped images. The first is a photo of a brown woman with dark hair, smiling, wearing a dark suit and a pastel brightly patterned collared shirt. The second image is a bright red book cover with an oval, silver-coloured mirror with a black frame comprised of sci-fi and fantasy monsters, with yellow lettering for the title, “HUMANS”, around the top of the mirror, in a stylized font with details that resemble whale-tails and bats’ wings. Subtitle just inside the mirror: A Monstrous History. Inside the bottom curve of the mirror: Surekha Davies. The third image is a photo of a white woman with short white hair looking quizzical, wearing a blue sweater and a white collared shirt. The small pink HistFest logo with black writing is at the top right-hand corner of the photo.

I think punditry would be a lot healthier if people made the case for their policies and position on the merits first rather than framing everything they advocate for as a good electoral strategy. 90% of the time, it's what they support on the merits, so just make that case.

I, for one, welcome the “abundance” fight. It shows the left can fight Trumpism while wrestling with how we can be better than we’ve been.

I have no interest in “actually the government has been doing great” liberalism.

Vaccines. 💪🏻💪🏻
georgetakei.bsky.social George Takei @georgetakei.bsky.social · Mar 30
And yet Joe Rogan puts guests on who say "Vaccines aren't actually responsible for the reduction in infectious diseases.”
The image is a heatmap titled "Measles," showing measles cases across U.S. states from 1928 to 2003. States listed on the y-axis include Alaska, Arkansas, California, Connecticut, Delaware, Georgia, Iowa, Illinois, Kansas, Louisiana, Maryland, Michigan, Missouri, Montana, North Dakota, New Hampshire, New York, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Utah, Vermont, Wisconsin, and Wyoming. The x-axis spans years from 1928 to 2003. A vertical line marks the introduction of the measles vaccine around 1963. The color scale at the bottom ranges from blue (0 cases) to red (4,000+ cases), with shades of green, yellow, and orange indicating intermediate values (1,000, 2,000, 3,000 cases). Before 1963, many states show frequent high case numbers (yellow to red), while after 1963, cases drop significantly, with mostly blue indicating near-zero cases.
