I agree that the spectacle of the president calling a reporter "piggy" is unbelievably ugly. But her job is not the important part: the fact that a disgusting bully is president...

I mean, look, I'm not a reporter, so who am I to talk?

But on a day where the president both just called a woman reporter "Piggy" and is celebrating someone who had people bone saw apart one of my colleagues, I might just be a little ready to defend my colleagues and profession.

But that's just me

It is genuinely incredible to me how much evidence there is to support investing in the public good and how much animus there is to do this simple, effective thing.

Do it!
This makes sense to me.
WATCH — @repstevenhorsford.bsky.social : “My amendment would redirect that $40 BILLION from Argentina to fund the ACA subsidies for two years… a far better use of taxpayer dollars.”

Why do we have money for Argentina while our own people lose their health care? How does this make us great?

SNAP is a lifeline for workers in low-wage jobs.

Meanwhile, CEOs are paid 280x as much as the typical worker.

Don’t be angry at workers for using food stamps.

Be angry at the corporations paying them so little that they need them.

Pretty sure there are more ICE agents with criminal records than the people they are arresting.

And that's before we charge them with the illegal and unconstitutional shit they are doing every day.

What's your favourite research asterisk?

Mine is: there are only 3 types of sharks that attack humans in double digits*.

*the oceanic white tip probably ate everyone who fell in the ocean in WWII, but we have no witnesses.

Your daily reminder that the fossil fuel industry is propped up by billions of dollars in U.S. government subsidies and a multimillion dollar campaign to spread climate disinformation. 💵

I note that Russia's sabotage attack against Poland's railway network, which could have derailed a train carrying 475 passengers, has pretty much dropped out of my timeline already.

Despite being an act of war against Poland, the EU and NATO.

Russia must be severely punished.

Yeah okay, abolish ICE or whatever OR

Eliminate the Department of Homeland Security altogether. Move TSA back to Transportation and restore FEMA as an independent agency. Sort the other half-dozen component agencies back into their natural homes.

Less criminal abuse and around $40 billion savings.

I stand with unionized Starbucks workers, who are on strike across the country right now for better wages and working conditions.

Until Starbucks strikes a fair bargain with its workers and ceases its union-busting behavior, I'll continue to boycott the company.
