If allying yourself with an anti-vax lunatic and helping him gut public health in America while children die of vaccine-preventable diseases doesn’t get you expelled from academia, then the whole system is utterly broken.
Here’s an idea, instead of trying to nationalize elections while lying about what’s in this bill, why don’t you govern responsibly and try to win elections that way? bsky.app/profile/atru...
In all seriousness, how much ugliness has there been and is there at TPUSA, its leadership, its enthusiasts, and in its impacts?

Almost as if you're channeling @jricole.bsky.social and his excellent (sadly too on target) @nytpitchbot.bsky.social . Might merit a slight modification:
"Charlie Kirk Did Racism Right" by David Brooks
(though now of the @theatlantic.com & @PBS )
An excellent example of #TurningPointUSA true colors and why any/all @democrats.org who went along with the iconization of Charlie Kirk were wrongheaded. www.dailykos.com/stories/2026...
Condemning Kirk's murder didn't / doesn't require condoning Kirk's destructive politics, influence, impact.
Paul Krugman explains: "The wind and the sun don't need to transit the Strait of Hormuz."
A humane climate transition involves well-planned restraint on fossil fuel use. An inhumane climate transition involves violent restraint on fossil fuel use.
One way or another, the transition is inevitable.
Hmmm ... maybe time for Americans to take advantage of low-priced used EVs before getting hit at the pump?
(Note: Yet another example of Trump's 4-dimensional chess support for climate action?)
Yes, but what if we have to remove a few car parking spaces to make room for bus lanes, bike lanes, or pedestrian corner extensions? Let’s not get hasty here

No-one actually expects gas prices to rapidly return to normal.
A reminder that David Brooks, multiple times, dismissed Esptein as anything important without any disclosure to @pbsnews.org / @pbs.org / #NewsHour viewers that he had interactions (a relationship?) with Epstein.

NEW ANALYSIS: UK emissions fell 2.4% in 2025 as coal fell to a 400-year low. Incredibly, we used less coal last year than than in 1600, when Queen Elizabeth I was on the throne and Shakespeare was writing Hamlet.

Quietly, calmly and forensically, BBC just dismantled the Trump communications shitshow on Iran.
No hyperbole, just laying out an unprecedented military, diplomatic and reputational shambles.
Worth a watch.

It is so damning of US news media that so many outlets refuse to just straight up say that Senator Tim Sheehy assaulted an activist.
He did not "help" Capitol police. They did not need his help. He wanted to assault the guy and did. He should resign.
echoing the ever-so-brilliant John Bolton on the News Hour discussing lack of post-conflict planning, ‘why bother writing a 500 page plan because we don’t know exactly what will happen.”
One of the best people i know, @gruberte.bsky.social came on this podcast to talk about the work she is doing with two of the other best people i know, @jmijin.bsky.social and @jlappen1.bsky.social.
One big takeaway for me is this...
“That’s aNOTHER war crime …”
Honestly, I wonder how many (if any) making these idiotic anti- e-bike legislative moves actually ride e-bikes?
Like all those politicians making transit decisions who get around in a car.
One woman who called the State Department helpline looking for help said they told her to "stop ranting and raving" and hung up on her.
Another woman said they asked her how to spell Oman.

Reading Rubio’s speech at the Munich conference is reading a 21st century call for a Crusade
Serious credit to @kamlager-dove.house.gov for asking this direct yes/no question which Noem refused to answer …
Republicans literally impeached a president over this basic question
In just two months, Zohran Mamdani has:
-Launched the first stage of his universal childcare program
-Rolled Trump into releasing a detained Columbia student
-Used fair wages to get New Yorkers to clear streets and sidewalks during a blizzard
FYI: This is what leadership looks like.

For all the but how can we afford space exploration folks…this means we’ve already spent more on this war that started last week than Cassini cost in the 26 years it took to build, launch, and operate it.
Having suffered the pain of a tooth infection I can unequivocally say that this man died in absolute agony. The type of nerve pain that will have you screaming and wondering quite rightly if you’ve gone insane
This man was tortured through neglect, and everyone involved is an irredeemable monster
Not only is there no Plan B, there is no Plan A.
