Not the oceanographer.

We live on a tiny fragile ball, spinning in the vastness of space. We share this planet - this tiny ball - with many other beings. We must learn to live as if all of these beings have great and lasting value.

As of today, @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social is holding a double-digit lead over disgraced former governor Andrew Cuomo in most polling around the race to become NYC’s mayor. In an interview with Teen Vogue, Mamdani credited the power of in-person community for bringing young people into his campaign.
Zohran Mamdani's Establishment-Fighting Campaign Built Community for Young People
“What Mamdani has done is not only inspire and mobilize young people, but he has exposed the establishment and some of their calcified views of participation and inclusion.”

It’s incredible that the VT State Senator wrapped up in this hasn’t resigned yet — every major GOP leader in the state has called for his resignation. Fixing democracy requires restoring shame to public life. And accountability. Lots of accountability. vtdigger.org/2025/10/14/v...

This is the best messaging I’ve seen from any Democrats on the shutdown. Kudos to AOC, Bernie, and their teams for putting this out there.

It’s official: AIPAC is trying to buy my election to keep me out of Congress.

Apparently, I’m a “dangerous detractor”... by believing Palestinians (like myself and my family) deserve basic human rights.

But we’re not going to let AIPAC win.

Judge Lamberth, a Reagan employee, slams the govt's "disrespect" for his orders.

He says contempt proceedings would be warranted, but he doesn't order them because nobody asked for them.

The free speech activist who built a list of professors he worked to get fired for their speech must be celebrated for his support of free speech, and anyone who quotes his speech accurately in context will be fired and/or face state punishment by the champions of free speech, do I have that right?

Charlie Kirk spent years calling gun deaths the “price of freedom.” He mocked empathy & grieving parents, called Black women intellectually inferior, targeted academics, and taught young conservatives that blood was a fair trade for liberty. Then a bullet found him. open.substack.com/pub/drstacey...

Hey everyone...LOOK OVER HERE! It's Lt. Col. Bone Spurs declaring war on an American city!!! Does his rough tough cream-puff cosplay make you forget about the EPSTEIN survivors, their lifetime of trauma & their courage to speak the truth in public?

Yeah, me neither.

Whatever is in the Epstein files is really bad. Worse than grab 'em by the p*ssy. Worse than paying a porn star for sex. Worse than cheating on your third wife while shes recovering from childbirth. Worse than adjudicated rape. Worse than 2 impeachments. It is really REALLY BAD!

Reminder: At the start of his legal career, RFK Jr. failed the bar, was forced out as a D.A., and got arrested for heroin. Without the Kennedy name, that story ends there.
