Susan Collins voted to confirm Brett Kavanaugh, and she still says she doesn’t regret it. That vote helped overturn Roe v. Wade and strip away abortion rights for millions of women. Mainers should judge Susan Collins by her record — and that record has hurt women and families across our state.

All unvaccinated people who die from preventable diseases would have died anyway. And all vaccinated people who die from any cause died because they were vaccinated. SCIENCE!🔬

Dr Oz: "I don't want anyone in America concerned inappropriately. We don't know exactly what happened in PAG yet. We don't know if the children died from measles or had another condition that was already attacking them and they happened to get measles at the same time. We lived this during covid."

Remembering Alice Coltrane on her birthday 🎂 📷 Frans Schellekens, The Hague, 1987 "Blending music rooted in the African American tradition with Eastern influences, Coltrane's exploratory modal jazz becomes accessible healing music across cultures." - Sydnee Monday

Reactived the account to say goodbye to Dolly, The Last Famous Person That All Of Us Are Ever Gonna Like.

The Library is devastated to learn of the passing of Dolly Parton, a music legend and titan of children's literacy. Her Imagination Library program has earned multiple Library Literacy Awards and, in 2018, she visited us to donate its 100 millionth book to our collection and host a story time. 🦋❤️

“You are all that matters to me. You are my guardian and protector in life.” 👀 Natalie Harp gives off so much Manson girl energy. It’s very “What if Squeaky Fromme looked like a Fox News anchor?”

I must say that the decision to hire this kind of a character despite knowing of his views in advance, especially given his research record, greatly diminishes the standing of the whole University of Ghent. I suspect I'm very far from the only researcher thinking so even in Finland.

In the wake of Arday's death, Nathan Cofnas (who led the X mob against him) states his motivation. Beyond whistleblowing, he states that after a 'revolution' removes professors like Arday, it will open opportunities for him to become 'head of the department of eugenics and race science at Harvard'.

Trump and his collaborators and enablers will be remembered in history for so many atrocities — but it may be that for enduring, ever compounding crimes against humanity his manic antipathy to clean energy will be his defining legacy of gratuitous imbecilic destruction.

A federal judge ordered the Pentagon to lift its freeze on reviewing offshore wind energy projects for national security concerns, one of several tools the Trump administration has used to undercut the renewables industry.

it is no exaggeration to say that Hersey’s Hiroshima is one of the most affecting, devastating pieces of reporting in the last century. I don’t see how you can read it and not come away with the soul-deep belief that every nuke should be fully dismantled and the blueprints obliterated.

Read John Hersey’s powerful, unforgettable August 1946 New Yorker article, “Hiroshima,” describing the horrific devastation of the city as recounted by six survivors: a clerk, a doctor, a tailor’s widow, a German priest, a surgeon, and a Methodist pastor—the first unvarnished account of the bombing.

There are a lot of important things going on. Maybe this isn’t a top twenty concern. But, this is actually workplace harassment, the kind that can get people killed.

The Koch Nazis are back “A shadowy network of conservative activist groups, backed by Koch-linked dark money, is deploying hidden cameras and mass public-records requests to hunt down and destroy the careers of college professors and administrators — and it's working.”

Republicans want to rewrite the history of COVID just like they want to rewrite the history of January 6th and the ongoing reality of climate change. They refuse to accept that they or their ideas could be the villain of the story. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Six years on from Covid crisis, Republicans still politicizing science – and Fauci remains a political punching bag
