Trump claimed the Biden administration spent $8 million "making mice transgender." The White House tried to back up this number with records of funding for research into cancer, asthma, and HIV, some of which used *transgenic* (genetically modified) mice.

A ceasefire-hostage deal in Gaza has been reached. This is welcome, long-overdue news. Both sides must honor it.
The killing must stop. The hostages must be released. The UN must be allowed to provide humanitarian aid. There must be accountability for war crimes by both sides.

Last summer was LA's hottest ever. this "rainy" season, southern california got just 2% of its normal rainfall. These devastating fires aren’t random—they’re fueled by a warming, drying atmosphere caused by burning fossil fuels. This is a climate emergency.

We don’t need billionaires. We need
- affordable housing
- universal healthcare
- living wages
- clean & reliable public transit
- affordable childcare
Imagine if the rewards of our hard work went back into our communities instead of being hoarded by a handful at the top.

“Don’t feed the trolls” also extends to bad opinion pieces in papers of record.
They run them bc people react to them the most.
If we stop linking to bad columns and instead post thinkers we find valuable (& generate convo around it), incentives change.
It’s not easy and takes constant practice!

"Trump won the crucial blue wall states... by 231,000 votes? So if just 116,000 voters across those three swing states – or 0.7% of the total – had switched from Trump to Harris, it is the vice-president who would have won the electoral college … and the presidency" - me for the Guardian:

In 2024, we have a new post-election lie – Trump didn’t just win, Republicans say, but he won big. He won a landslide. That’s false

We need maximum wages and not just minimum ones.
The slow yet methodical extraction of wealth from workers over time has never been more glaring.
How long must this go on before we actually do something about it? How egregious does it have to get?
