We don’t need to protect what we have if we can just pay to bring it back later.

I fear on the extreme end, stuff like this will harm conservation. For example if we can clone extinct species, then we can drill all we want and let science build the ecosystem back when we’re done.

Spoiler: we can’t
in case you're wondering, "what's the harm in claiming an extinct species has been brought back from the dead" when it most certainly has not, our interior secretary is already using it to justify taking animals off the endangered species list

I say this every time de-extinction comes up: it makes no sense to devote science to bringing back extinct animals when we can’t be bothered to keep extant ones alive in the first place.

The key point here is "we will not obey." We need more of that from state officials. We need refusal from everyone who the administration will rely upon to work its will in the world, from governors to teachers, social workers, doctors, and other everyday people in the streets. Refusal is essential.
JB Pritzker flat out says the birthright "order" is unconstitutional and "we will not obey an unconstitutional order," attacks Trump for having the oligarchs in the front row.

See, @schumer.senate.gov? It's not that hard!

Since a suspect was identified and charged in the murder of the UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, it has been impossible to escape his photo. But our critic asks, what happens when violent crimes are overshadowed by appearances?

Sinema missed 11 consecutive judicial confirmation votes before this vote

she really came back to work just to be on her bullshit and screw actual workers
BREAKING: Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema have cast decisive votes against Biden's NLRB nominee. This means the Democrats will not secure control of the national labor regulator through 2026. These two Senators effectively handed Trump control of the board when his term begins.

the fact that the first openly trans member of congress is a zionist who immediately capitulated to fascists on the issue of her basic rights like this really sums up the current state of american politics incredibly well i think. just endlessly depressing stuff

She is receiving sharp critiques from those with trans friends who work in the capitol.

if your last name is kennedy you can be like "the nefarious jews have poisoned our wells" and to the NYT it merely "raises questions" but if you're a democratic member of congress who expresses fairly mild criticisms of the israeli government, it's a different story
