The turnout in small towns across the country has been incredible drawing crowds of thousands. We’re already seeing over one million in attendance nationwide, and events are still underway. Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Ohio all had especially surprising showings.

Not too long ago - maybe five years ago - my mom told me the story of how she came to learn she was pregnant with me. I'm reminded of the story every time Easter rolls around. Here's how it went down back in 1973. 1/

This is advice every dem politician should take to heart.

Don’t sell against the competition.

Sell what you are doing to reduce people’s stress and make their life better

It’s not about what’s wrong with the competition. It’s about what is right with you
I found that the best way to build a business is to build a relationship with your customers ask how they are doing, how are the kids , how did their dad’s surgery go, show interest in them and mean it because they know what they want

A second week has now passed without this prestigious journal, which had been published every week uninterrupted since 1952, being released.
I wonder what other research and critical data were censored this week.

You know how the Trump admin blocked publication of the CDC's weekly morbidity and mortality report, which until now had been released every single week since 1952?
Turns out last week's report would have included 2 important new studies on bird flu transmission.

They are expanding their McCarthyite war on diversity to include people with disabilities, and doing it very clearly. Should someone in a wheelchair be able to work for the FAA? I think an overwhelming majority of Americans would say "of course" but that's not what we're hearing from Trump.

I'm very sad that "I have a paper on this" continues

Funding delays of > 30 days lead to, after 5 years:

- 40% increase in scientists exiting US labor force (constrained among those born in the US)
- 20% decrease in wages
- Burden is born by postdocs, grad students, and staff
It’s official: all funding requests made on Tuesday by postdocs for their salaries have been unilaterally rejected by NSF.

Ask yourself: why are these the things the American right has identified as the greatest threats to America’s future:

Black Lives Matter
Critical Race Theory
Diversity Equity and Inclusion
Immigration
Trans people AKA “gender ideology”
The 1619 Project/accurate racial history
Abortion
Unions
MeToo

Exactly why @bsky.app is so important. Engaging on this platform is important. As is growing this platform.

It is not free speech when Trump aligned oligarchs have their thumbs on the algorithms of all the social media apps.

My grandfather stormed the beaches of Normandy, risking everything to wipe Nazis off the face of the Earth. Now this administration brings Nazis into our nation’s capitol spitting on the sacrifices of everyone who fought for and bled for this country.

Anthony Fauci dared to commit the one mortal sin for which there can never be any forgiveness: he stood in the face of their bloviating, belligerent spray-tanned savior—and he spoke truth that could actually save lives. That is why they despise him.

BREAKING: TikTok is back up in the United States after an obvious kayfabe. They didn’t need to take it down. The did that on purpose so Trump could “restore” it. www.nbcnews.com/tech/tech-ne...
TikTok says it is restoring service for U.S. users, thanking Trump
The company said in a statement that TikTok was coming back online in the U.S. after President-elect Donald Trump provided assurances to the company’s service providers.

Love this: Grill Baby Grill. Let's go, journalism!
I’m amazed by the lack of journalistic scrutiny American politicians are exposed to from the media.
These guys promised to fix the price of eggs and fuel, as well as end the war in Ukraine and more. But now: “Oh, but it’s complex?!”🙄
Well then, journalists; you know what to do: #Grill_baby_grill!
