We need at least as much outcry over CBS’s censoring 60 Minutes for Trump as over ABC’s attempt to fire Kimmel. Get loud, everybody.

Our tests of popular dairy, beef, and plant-based protein products found plant-based options had the highest lead levels, 9x as much as dairy and 2x as much as beef. Even dairy powders weren’t risk-free: half were too contaminated for safe daily use.

About russian drones to Poland: I think the best argument is they are trying to make NATO nations reduce arms transfers to Ukraine in favour of their own defence.

These veterans recently looped Gen. Milley’s “we swear an oath to the Constitution, not a wannabe dictator” speech for 8 hours straight. Please continue this! The Military/National Guard need to uphold their oaths to the Constitution not a wannabe dictator!

My thoughts on Bluesky verification as someone who was deeply involved in an analogous scheme (selecting trusted root CAs for browsers) at Mozilla many years ago. The analogy is not exact: not trusting a verifier just means no checkmark, while not trusting a root CA means nasty security warnings 1/

Something remarkable is happening on 5th Ave right now.

100s of 1000s of people, a spontaneous outpouring of anger, demanding Trump/Musk keep their hands off our healthcare, our schools, our democracy.

This is a turning point in the fight back against the Trump presidency.

I have never seen anything like this in NYC. 5th Ave covered from 42nd St well to the 20s. Nobody prepared for this volume. Volunteers are holding the traffic on all the side streets. No police in sight. #handsoff

👇 That's what's up, as my son would say.
We expected 2,000 people out in GOP-held Greeley, Colorado.

11,000 people showed up.

Something special is happening, folks. Now is the time to organize in every dimension possible and get to work.

The silencing effort continues. This is the opposite of America.
Well now I’m definitely going to protest today. And I’ll wear a mask if I damned well feel like it.
