There is a cacophony of noises out there. Russians planning to assassinate European officials, the US president riding to Vladimir Putin's aid, the Russians increasingly targeting Ukrainian civilians to break their will. The one constant tune? Russia is getting desperate.
It's already illegal. Congress banned it near-unanimously in 2022. That law allows the ban to be lifted only if Russia withdraws from Ukraine. He's simply breaking the law that's already on the books.
David S. Bernstein @dbernstein.bsky.social · yesterdayRepublican US Rep Brian Fitzgerald tweets that he will introduce a bill to block purchases of Russian oil. Don Bacon (R-Neb) tweets that he will co-sponsor. Obviously this won’t happen during campaigning recess (and Trump could veto anyway) but interesting push-back on Trump.
The ICE agent seen brandishing an AR-15 at the scene of yesterday’s shooting in NYC’s Marble Hill has a record of lying, excessive force & getting caught by judges. He also goes by “Shooter Cuni” on social media, & posts the same gun he had on him today W/@dmehro.bsky.social @regret.bsky.social

Furman v. Georgia, 408 U.S. 238, 297 (1972) (Brennan, J., concurring) “No longer does our society countenance the spectacle of public executions, once thought desirable as a deterrent to criminal behavior by others. Today we reject public executions as debasing and brutalizing to us all.“

🧵 The Wehrmacht was a CRIMINAL ORGANIZATION responsible for mass crimes against humanity and genocide.🧵 🔥The mother of threads.🔥 Click below for an exhaustive discussion of the criminality of the German Army during WWII as I try to once again kill the cockroach that is the Clean Wehrmacht Myth!
I really don’t think a public execution by firing squad of a guy in a wheel chair is going to look how they expect it to look.
It’s an interesting and unusual choice, particularly as a Democrat, to decide to completely obliterate your opponent in a debate when you could’ve played it safe.
It is remarkable how many Dems in competitive races are not doing the squishy bipartisanship tapioca routine and are instead just letting rip with these guys are a bunch of evil goddamned nazis who want to take all your rights and are also corrupt as fuck. It’s reading the room, I suppose.
New: Jewish students announce a boycott Columbia/Barnard Hillel, as it hosts an Israeli group "encouraging Jewish students to move to settlements on land Israel seized from Palestinians." Says the group recently demolished homes, displacing Palestinian families & it intends to demolish dozens more.
To put this in perspective chestnut trees used to be dominant species in the United States. Billions of trees were killed by fungal blight and now fully grown America chestnuts are functionally extinct. There is no getting them back. Ever. All for a data center. www.gadgetreview.com/one-of-ameri...

My part of NSF has been destroyed effectively. I don’t trust future congresses to understand and restore it given they misunderstand knowledge creation and reduce science to technology. And that’s across the ideological spectrum.
Dan Garisto@dangaristo.bsky.social · 5d agoNEW: In March the White House released an FY27 budget request that zeroed out the National Science Foundation's directorate of Social, Behavioral and Economic Sciences (SBE). For months it was unclear what would happen. Now, with FY26 over, the damage to SBE is coming to light. My reporting:

““Pain also rises most steeply before age 55, during women’s working, caring and reproductive years. It is strong evidence that the gender pain gap is real, consistent and global. Yet women’s pain is still too often dismissed, under-researched and under-treated,””
