This is a campaign video posted by the Jon Ossoff for Senate in Georgia YouTube account over a year ago. It has garnered only 30,000 views on YouTube. I'm sharing this on BlueSky because I believe it's some of the best Democratic messaging that I've ever seen, and I think it deserves more views.
Hydration breaks are bullshit. Just an excuse for commercials. The US expresses its trumpian side
Hey, Dems, let's do this: Instead of centrists freaking out about the success of progressives, maybe we could take Mamdani as a model and focus on listening to and delivering for the voters. What if we had big competition among candidates to see who could do most for voters? Just imagine.
Hey @thermofishersci.bsky.social you have a HUGE problem. You are about to lose a lot of the antibody market. You have now lost the trust of a lot of scientists!
Johan Duchêne@johanduchene.bsky.social · 3mo ago@sholtodavid.bsky.social Have you seen this WB from ThermoFisher? Still anti-p53 antibody, but another clone (MA-12648 instead MA5-12557). It also looks like that the band in lane 3 was rotated and reused in lane 4. Moreover, it seems that same band was used for the 2 different clones.
The United States government just agreed to pay $1.8 billion to the United States president, approved by the president's own personal lawyer who represented him when he was convicted of 34 criminal counts. This is the biggest scandal in all of American political history.
I was just thinking of the word "encouragement." It literally means to "give courage." Words of encouragement are words that "give courage." Kind of cool when you think of it like that. Now is a good time to encourage one another. We need the courage to stand up and stand together.

The regime won’t deal and the blockade alone won't break it. Only military action will.

The vice president of the United States should not be weighing in on criminal prosecutions, let alone criminal investigations in progress. This is how banana republics function, taking out revenge on enemies via criminal “justice“ process. Politicians should stay out of prosecution.
It’s been many years but there is still no ‘secure ballroom’ in Columbine, Sandy Hook, Parkland, Uvalde, or many other schools and colleges. I wonder why that is? It couldn’t be because innocent kids’ lives don’t matter in the US, could it?
I don’t usually share Twitter posts but that would be the president of Iran and yes he’s being completely serious, Islam recognises Jesus as a prophet and the Pope as a successor figure
Thank you #NobelLaureate Jack Szostak for sharing these thoughts, which many US scientists and physicians resonate with newsletter.ofthebrave.org/p/im-a-nobel...

Thanking Donald Trump for signing the budget bill, which spared NIH from the knife was unseemly and unnecessary. In fact, the destruction of American science is gathering steam under this administration and appeasement won't help. My latest for @thenation.com. www.thenation.com/article/soci...
The Scientists Groveling to Trump Are Kidding Themselves
The government has pulled back from massive cuts to the NIH, but it’s still destroying scientific research. So why are some groups appeasing the president?

Donald Trump is "the Epstein Administration." Pass it on
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 6mo agoMassie: "Donald Trump told us that even though he had dinner with these people in NYC and West Palm Beach, that he would be transparent. But he's not. He's still in with the Epstein class. This is the Epstein administration."
Key takeaway from Dr. Santosha Vardhana in Beyond the Bench: When T cells run low on energy, they make priority decisions that shift into self preservation mode. That bioenergetic limit shapes immune exhaustion. Watch the full episode: bit.ly/4oLrOXu #BeyondTheBench
