The weeks of performative “resistance” from those in my party were limited to undignified antics.
Voting to shut the government down will punish millions or risk a recession.
I disagree with many points in the CR, but I will never vote to shut our government down.

This RFK Jr stuff is seriously messing me up. I really thought I’d never see the day where “I’m against forced labor camps” would be a partisan opinion

Sooooo if this whole "biological sex" EO is really happening, biologists are going to make as much noise about it as possible, right?
Professional societies, universities, individual research groups? It's really incumbent on us (that's a "biologists us" here) to make a BIG FUCKING STINK

There is currently no way on Bluesky to mute an image (memes, quotes, etc) so it would be really nice if everyone would agree to retweet the original post instead of saving the image and posting again. My skyline thanks you 🫡
