Climate grief is real. I feel like I am pre-mourning all that we will lose and mourning everything that is lost already. As I make my coffee and then have a hot shower I think to myself: enjoy this while it lasts. Enjoy the little things, you will need these memories later. When the water is gone. When the crops have failed. When the mass deaths reach your door too.

Mitch McConnell has taken more medical leave than most mothers in America get for maternity leave.

I’m so glad I grew up on This Land Is My Land, This Land Is Your Land grade school globalism. I see how terrifying the world is for people who are incapable of compassion and I just feel so lucky I was surrounded by so much diversity

Marco Rubio in 2016: “For years to come, there are many people on the right...that are going to be having to explain and justify how they fell into this trap of supporting Donald Trump because this is not going to end well.”

Ten years ago, if I’d told you a world leader demanded to review all exhibits and materials from a national museum to ensure they aligned with his “interpretation of history,” you’d want to send American troops in there to free this country from Fascism.

if they’re serious about “beautifying” DC, perhaps they can start with helping the district clean up bus stops outside of federal buildings

This is horrific.

What is unfolding is not just a policy change. It is a direct assault on life-saving medical progress. By suppressing mRNA research and halting the development of critical vaccine programs, we are denying people access to some of the most advanced disease-prevention technologies ever developed.

mRNA vaccines are no longer just about COVID.

They are now being developed to prevent cancers like melanoma and lung cancer, protect newborns from congenital infections like cytomegalovirus (CMV), and defend against global threats like avian influenza, RSV, HIV, malaria, Lyme disease, and Zika. Several of these vaccines are already in Phase 3 trials, and some were just years away from approval.

That future is now being deliberately dismantled.

This is not a matter of policy disagreement. It is a betrayal of public health, rooted in misinformation and fear. It disregards scientific evidence, abandons medical innovation, and puts millions at long-term risk. The cost will not be measured in dollars.

It will be measured in cancers not prevented, diseases not controlled, and lives not saved.

The consequences must be called what they are: preventable mass death on a national scale.

If you vote yes or no on a bill because of someone’s “performance” rather than on the basis of the text of the bill, the Constitution, and the people you represent, then you shouldn’t be in Congress.

Women have fought, bled, and died for this country so naturally, Trump and his fragile little cult decided to erase them. The same ‘patriots’ who scream ‘support the troops’ just deleted every woman who served. Weak men fear strong women, that’s all this is.

[matt bernstein @mattxiv]

no matter what happens, may this election be the death nail in the self-congratulatory “gen z will change the world” shit. gen z white men vote like every other generation of white men, and in some cases are further to the right

Turns out (1) I wasn’t the only one confused, and (2) he was actually saying “ship owner.” I spent the remainder of the lecture silently mouthing out “ship owner” in a French accent 🚢

[🐟 @kirdy_birdy]

I was just listening to a French man lecture about optimal vessel speed for reducing carbon emissions and he kept saying “ship on earth” and I was SO CONFUSED 😭 Like, as opposed to ships not on earth? What types of ships are we talking about??! 🪐🚀
