It’s a terrible bill. It will literally kill people. The most vulnerable among us will suffer as the wealthiest benefit. It’s perverse. I wish there were something I could do. But alas, I am only a U.S. Senator from Alaska whose “no” vote would kill the bill. So I voted yes. You get it.

as a child I thought it was wildly unrealistic that Sims would immediately give up on all their goals and dreams if a single dirty plate was left on the ground but now that I’m an adult I understand that that was the most realistic part of the game

Just by the way, much of the basic research on the cognitive psychology of attention can trace its history to early support from ONR. The problem of vigilance and detection while staring at a radar screen led to support of foundational research on visual attention now applied far and wide.
The Office of Naval Research (ONR) is implementing a 15% overhead cap for current and future grants to universities. The destruction of American science continues.

My latest — The accusations of antisemitism against NYC mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani have been some of the most appalling smears I’ve seen in my years covering politics.
I wrote about the concerted attack, & pressure for American Jews to define a local political race through the lens of Israel:

The appalling smearing of Zohran Mamdani as 'anti-semitic'
It's Islamophobic. It's racist. It's also completely untrue.

Hi fellow white folks! If you haven't picked a specific place/organization for your Juneteenth reparations, or if you've got a little left to allocate, may I please STRONGLY recommend Black Mamas Matter Alliance? Their work is more crucial than ever now.

This is how bad my mental health has gotten: getting myself a streaming service I've been wanting just so that I can start watching shows I actually enjoy instead of just background noise for my doomscrolling, is my biggest act of self care this week.

"These are often children; these are people in poverty; these are people with very few resources; these are people who use drugs,” Horvath told me. “If we’re willing to throw the most vulnerable people under the bus as a movement, then what the hell is our movement doing?”"
What Would It Mean to Defend All Abortions?
Democrats love to avoid it, and Republicans love to lie about it. But later-abortion care has never been more important.

This one should probably have stayed in the drafts or the therapy zoom, but anyway I noticed that my brain is wayyyy better at harnessing my single molecule of executive function in service of making me do stuff I hate than in the service of making me do stuff I will like and have fun doing.

Eugenics and racism almost always intersect.
It’s exactly what Imani Barbarin was talking about the other day.
White supremacists get to define “normal”… which means anyone who isn’t like them will be “abnormal”.
Disability justice is needed now.

Since it began in 1994, the Safe to Sleep campaign has contributed to a 50% decrease in Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS).
Having recently had a baby (2024), this one hits close to home and I can't think of a single reason to justify cutting this program.
WE CAN GET THIS REVERSED.
