Michigan Democrats chose Abdul El-Sayed because he’s a fighter willing to stand up to the tyrant in the Oval Office. Corporate Democrats like Chuck Schumer aren't up to the task because they won’t bite the corporate hands that feed them.

Money out of politics. Money in your pocket. Medicare for All. Michigan... We won. I am so proud to be your Democratic nominee for US Senate. Let's win in November.

I am so triggered by RJK Jr's comment about ICU's being empty during #COVID. I re-read what I wrote after one of the surges. How do others forget. The trauma was--and is--real.
I'm An ICU Doctor. I’m Haunted By What I’ve Seen During The Recent COVID-19 Surge.

Actually disgusting that nurses were treated like utter shit, overworked and dying during the pandemic and now RFK is on TV telling everyone that didn't happen. I can't even imagine a more thankless, hostile job right now.

More cops have been arrested for using flock cameras to stalk women than there are transgender athletes in youth sports.

If you aren't angry then you aren't paying attention.
I snarkyly said this in a comment but it is true. Stop complaining about the courts and start using them. Being angry on social media isn’t going to change anything. You have to bankrupt them and destroy their support. Isolate them culturally and isolate them socially.

PSA: ANYONE you see saying "voting does nothing" from now to the election is an op. Block them, and tell your friends.
On this day in 1944, the Gestapo found Anne Frank and her family in their Secret Annex. Her diary stands as a warning against hatred and persecution. Eighty years later, we should recognize the warning signs before it’s too late.🙂↕️

It’s officially getting hard to keep track of all the times and ways AI models from OpenAI and Anthropic have been involved in “security incidents,” going outside the confines of their testing and interacting with the wider internet in unintended, often unwelcome ways.
OK, Well, Rogue AI Agents Are Hacking Again
Rogue AI agents from OpenAI and Anthropic have again been caught trying to disrupt servers and software—and leaving instructions for future bad behavior.

Laci paint this, Laci paint that. How do I actually choose which telescope & spacecraft images to paint? Well, a reference image has to tickle my brain in the right way! Here are 3 things that guide my decision
🚨BREAKING: In a loss for voters, Missouri's top election official blocked the citizen-led referendum on the GOP’s new congressional gerrymander from appearing on the ballot this fall. While the battle isn’t over, the move denies Missourians right to block the map from use in the midterms.

Calling my #astrophotography chums in the Americas: will you be staying up late tonight with your telescopes trained on the Einstein Crater? Impact: 02:34 EDT; 4 tonnes of Space-X metal (15m x 4m diameter) travelling 5400mph Expected: 50km high plume containing ~1Mkg of debris 😲🔭

Probably not, but that doesn't mean friends in the Americas shouldn't try (daylight for those in Europe): look to the eastern limb of the Einstein crater. The @eso.org VLT will observe it & NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter is taking before and after images! 🔭🧪🛰️
