Huge follow-up reporting to my scoop: The Guardian confirmed America Next—the conservative nonprofit founded by Bobby Jindal that was offering students $ to disrupt El-Sayed events—paid a firm registered to Tommy Teepell’s dad Timmy $250k for “canvassing and influencer marketing” against El-Sayed.

Trump’s own appointees asked the government’s election security agency to secretly hack a voting machine and send the results to the White House. Thankfully, the career staff refused. And the people who actually could have done it had been laid off by DOGE. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

The far right loved calling some Republicans “cucks”— being that they’d sit back and watch the country get screwed Then they made loyalty to Trump their entire identity He does exactly what they claimed to despise. They put a red hat on it and called it strength.. while our nation gets f’ed

“Anthropic is warning that some of its artificial intelligence models could soon become ‘self-replicating’ and find ways to infiltrate internet-connected devices *** ‘A replicator like this would be challenging to shut down,’ Anthropic researchers wrote” (as if this isn’t their fault).

#ResistanceRoots Jibreel Khazan was born on this day in 1941 in Greensboro, N.C. He is the last surviving member of the Greensboro Four, college students who staged a sit-in at a segregated lunch counter at an F.W. Woolworth’s store in Greensboro. He has dedicated his career to human services. /1

Dr. Jibreel Khazan in 2015, reflecting on the 55th anniversary of the Greensboro sit-in. In the background is a black-and-white photo of the Greensboro Four. His rare trajectory of courage began with a world-changing spark of youth activism and evolved into six decades of grassroots service. He helped prove the power of ordinary citizens to disrupt systemic oppression, providing the tactical blueprint that decentralized the civil rights movement and paved the way for the creation of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee. Instead of fading into obscurity after that first flash of fame, he reclaimed his identity through Islam and quietly spent his adulthood working as a vocational counselor and educator. Khazan is a powerful reminder that history can be made by regular people who possess the courage to sit down for justice when it matters most, and the humility to stand up for the vulnerable every day thereafter.

It's important to understand that Missouri's so-called Nonpartisan Court Plan is very political. Very. It's not just about Supreme and Appeals Courts. MAGA Governors appoint STL, KC, Springfield Circuit Court judges, reshaping judiciary in their image. Rural areas get to elect their judges.

ProPublica@propublica.org · 3d ago

Missouri Republicans control virtually every lever of state government, but voters and the courts keep getting in their way. Now the GOP is targeting the systems that give both their power: the state’s judge selection process.

A large circular mission insignia for STS-47 (“Gibson APT Brown / Lee Davis Jemison Morgan”) is visible on her chest. She holds her white-and-black astronaut helmet with both hands in front of her torso, her short dark hair neatly styled, and offers a warm, radiant smile that conveys pride, determination, and joy. The background is a softly blended blue studio backdrop evoking the vastness of space. The composition blends technical precision with personal warmth, celebrating her historic 1992 flight aboard Space Shuttle Endeavour as Mission Specialist, where she conducted experiments in materials science and bone cell research. The image powerfully symbolizes her groundbreaking contributions to space exploration, diversity in STEM, and her lifelong commitment to making science accessible to all.A color portrait of Dr. Mae Carol Jemison, the first Black woman to travel into space and a pioneering engineer, physician, and advocate for science education.

Vance is blaming Abdul El-Sayed for a war – and profound geopolitical and economic chaos – that Trump is directly responsible for. Don't fall for it. Abdul El-Sayed would have never withdrawn the US from the JCPOA.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 4d ago

JD Vance: "I see what Abdul El-Sayed says about the war in Iran. I see him criticizing decisions the president has made, the military has made. But fundamentally we are where we are.I'd like to know what's Abdul El-Sayed's solution for the problem we have right now? It's easy to criticize"

Dr. Jack Brown@drjackbrown.bsky.social · 4d ago

Here's the most famous reference of the quote of John F. Kennedy's to which Abdul El-Sayed is referring (12:49 time mark) "For contrary to common newspaper usage, I am not the catholic candidate for president. I am the Democratic party's candidate for president, who happens also, to be a catholic."
