I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA

Military surveillance technology like the MQ-9 Predator drone “is tested in war zones, the border, tested in cities along the border and tested in the interior of the country,” EFF’s @Maassive.bsky.social told @LATimes.com. “That tends to be the trajectory we see.”

Support for using violence to advance political goals is extremely unpopular (less than 1 in 20) per @gelliottmorris.com.
But we overestimate support & our support rises if we believe others support it. Correcting misperception helps & social media is biased.

Political violence remains rare, but leaders can help prevent tragedy by condemning hate and defending democratic values

I'm genuinely confused at so much of my feed being filled with "Don't celebrate Charlie Kirk being shot **because** this gives Trump the go ahead to violently crush opposition." Did you mean to add "faster" to the end of that sentence? Like, he wasn't waiting for an impetus. It's happening already

I'm already seeing centrists and leftists sniping at each other but the blame for this is 100% on the Republicans. This is what they do with power and it is imperative that we work together to keep them as far from it as possible, forever.

Sure, keep walking, but don’t forget to chew gum too. He thinks you can only watch one thing at a time. Make sure you spend some time, attention, and clicks-etc. on the other things going on right now that still matter too. He’s counting on you losing focus. Don’t.
Cost estimate of Senate tax cuts is out!
On an apples-to-apples basis, the Senate GOP tax bill costs $4.2 trillion, $403 bn more than the House.
However, the Senate has fewer (still some) "temporary" measures.
Take that into account, and it's more expensive, but the House is EVEN more expensive.

Virtually every Cybertruck — those freaky Tesla vehicles made to look like aggression incarnate – has been recalled, because, literally, they come unglued. What a metaphor for this regime: a weak vehicle trying to look tough, a victim of its own cheapness, an ugly toy falling apart.

At a public school, the protest might have led to a detention and maybe some revoked after-school privileges. But on a military base, the students were putting more on the line.

Today is the 35th anniversary of the Capitol Crawl, in which disabled activists discarded their mobility aids at the foot of the Capitol steps to climb them in support of passage of the Americans with Disabilities Ac. Jennifer Keelan-Chaffins, 8, told reporters "I'll take all night if I have to!"
