Fox News insists racism doesn't exist, unless a Black actor plays a white character

In a hundred years people will use “talking with Mitch” the same way they use “sleeping with the fishes” and that’s honestly fine with me as his legacy.

I've been a broken record on this for three years and I'll be a broken record for as long as that fucking website exists: X is a viciously racist far-right organising platform that ONLY WORKS because a huge number of centrists, lefties and progressivs cannot stop propping it up

I don't think people fully appreciate how apocalyptic things are for US science. I haven't had any new funding since 2024, but I'm still ok since typical grants are for three years. This means next year I will be completely out of funding and will have to fire everyone in the lab. It's not great.

ICE/CBP is following school busses now. My husband (a school bus driver) was just in an urgent all-hands meeting about it this afternoon.

Oh also today, the US withdrew from every major international treaty for climate and environmental protection, violence against women and children, and peacebuilding. More than at any point in the past 100+ years, we are the baddies now.
