Dragon of dust

[Brian Tyler Cohen @briantylercohen]

.@neiltyson: "The relationship of the executive branch and science has never been as devastating as it has been under the current administration... We will sink lower economically, in our health, in our wealth, and our security, until everyone wakes up and is reminded how important science is... When China starts eating our lunch, I think we'll wake up."

What would a typical worker earn today if their wages had grown as fast as CEO pay over the past 50 years? Take a guess and watch this video to find out.

[More Perfect Union @MorePerfectUS]

Trump's Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins says that just 20% of American farmers haven't secured the fertilizer they need for the season, but she's downplaying the disaster that's hitting farms across America.

A new survey shows that only about 60% of U.S. farmers have made their full fertilizer purchases, and many plan on rationing.

These aren’t small numbers. An industry leader told reporters this week that this leaves 200,000 corn growers without key farming supplies, and that crops could fail across the country.

This crisis could put thousands more farmers out of business and even lead to a food supply crisis.

I tuned in to the State of the Union, and saw nothing but a firehose of lies.

If the President won't tell you the state of the economy, I will: Here's an honest assessment of the (economic) state of the union. No reality TV gimmicks, just nerdy numbers.

In 1988, Jesse Jackson gave one of the best speeches of all time.

[UBI Works 🇨🇦 @ubi_works]

Ireland's basic income pilot for artists worked so well they made it permanent. The economic growth it generated paid back more than its net cost, study shows.

How many people are being held back from their potential because they're living bill-to-bill? UBI is true freedom.

Bernie Sanders is right.

We need Medicare For All.

[Matthew Kupfer @Matthew_Kupfer]

In a past life, I was a reporter in Putin's Russia.

During that time, a leading Russian opposition journalist told me he feared interactions with law enforcement because a police officer could easily plant drugs on him to fabricate a criminal case.

A few years later, a totally apolitical acquaintance was arrested for participating in an unsanctioned protest. Only he hadn't been protesting; he had been sitting on a park bench. Four police officers grabbed him — one holding each arm, one holding each leg — and carried him away. After two days in jail, he was convicted of the same charges as many other protesters: blocking traffic and chanting anti-government slogans. He was lucky to get off with a fine.

These are two "small" examples of life in a police state. Notably, neither involves lethal force.

And that wasn't Russia at its worst. Since then, the Kremlin has de facto outlawed dissent.

So if you think it's desirable for Americans to be "terrified" of law enforcement, if you believe lethal force is a justified response to any disobedience (legal precedent states otherwise), you don't know what you're asking for.

The first time Charlie Chaplin spoke onscreen, he implored the people of the world to resist the rising tide of fascism.

Nearly 90 years later, it remains a timely message.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

I'm old enough to remember when CBS News and journalists like Edward R. Murrow held power to account, instead of capitulating to it.

[Don Salmon @dijoni]

The philosophy of Clarence Thomas.

[Adam Mockler @adammocklerr]

Wow. CBS News Minnesota blows up Nick Shirley’s fraud story by showing security camera footage of children there THE SAME DAY Shirley was there.

[Del @TheCartelDel]

This recent BiliBili video of a guy motion capturing a robot straight into his own balls is gonna be such useful metaphor in the future tbh
