Progressives must be consistently for free speech & not censor books because they disagree with the views of the author. What's next? Will the store no longer sell the Republic because Plato accepted slavery as part of ancient Greek society?

Israeli soldiers admitting that they’re being ordered to slaughter unarmed civilians just trying to get food

Just 50 seconds from one of Gaza’s aid lines. You don’t need commentary. Just watch how people move, how they run, how they try to stay alive while waiting for food. This is what Haaretz was talking about

I really don't think that repealing PTCs/ITCs will slow down the deployment of renewables that much in the face of load growth. You might see less solar and more storage or wind on net but that's probably it. You still can't get a gas turbine right now.

Are we going to just accept that we now live in a country where the government’s anonymous security forces routinely abduct Americans? This is insanity

With hot cooked meals and fresh bread, World Central Kitchen is back serving more and more people in Gaza…now at over 100k meals daily. Here is our team FINALLY able to make mujaddara for families, since lentils have arrived! When people sit down to share a meal...they share more than

🚀Thrilled to announce that @EmeraldAI_ launches today with $24.5M in seed funding led by Radical Ventures with participation from @NVIDIA, Amplo, CRV, and Neotribe Ventures! ⚡We're transforming AI data centers into AI-powered grid allies. Today we unveil results of the first

Two weeks ago today, Donald Trump’s ICE agents arrested me. Now, he’s threatening to put @zohrankmamdani in a prison camp that he’s building in a Florida swamp – for thousands of our immigrant neighbors being disappeared from our courts & communities w/o due process. It’s

"We could be within 5 years of really falsifying Einstein's classical theory." How? By generating entanglement in an experiment to test quantum gravity! I'm excited to release a technical deep-dive into how to test quantum features of gravity, explained in an approachable and

Craziest part is Zohran has said almost those exact words verbatim that Jonathan is so snidely demanding. It’s almost like nothing about this is good faith

My two thoughts on this are: 1) If every Dem would talk like this, the party might be a real opposition 2) It's shameful that some Dems have been more focused on using their platforms to demonize/undermine this guy than on fighting Trump

Just. Wow. As we went over Mexico and the U.S. this morning, I caught this sprite. Sprites are TLEs or Transient Luminous Events, that happen above the clouds and are triggered by intense electrical activity in the thunderstorms below. We have a great view above the clouds, so

BREAKING: Right now, at 1 a.m. Palestine time, Israeli settlers are attacking the village of Beita, Nablus—firing at civilian homes and defenseless Palestinians trying to push them back. Injuries have been reported, and ambulances are rushing to the scene.

NASA Astronaut on ISS caught this sprite over Mexico and the U.S., this morning

Pretty weak stuff, NY Times. Everyone I ever met with complexly mixed ethnicity gripes about puzzling over which boxes to check on the forms. Plus Mamdani was born in Africa, and immigrated to the US, and hence is literally African-American. nytimes.com/2025/07/03/nyr…

Whenever you provide pro-Israel hardliners with evidence of Israel doing bad things, they insist that there must be an explanation. Their belief is that Israel is good, therefore it is not capable of doing bad things. This is a purely ideological view and not based on facts.

“Mamdani comes from a culture that lies about everything.” They’re no longer racist dog whistles. They’re full on racist barks. The masks are off and the hoods are on. (Oh, and Maguire supports Trump who lies more than any other person, group, or culture we have ever known!)

For the first time since JFK’s assassination nearly 62 years ago, the CIA tacitly admitted Thursday that an agent specializing in psychological warfare, George Joannides, ran an operation that came into contact with Lee Harvey Oswald before the killing. axios.com/2025/07/05/cia…

A partner at Sequoia Capital outs himself as a full-on anti-Muslim bigot. Usually when smart people are racist, they try to be subtle. But Shaun Maguire is so lazy that he can't even be bothered to put some thought into his racism.

In a world with arXiv, BioRxiv, etc, the $2500 minimum/default author processing costs that open access journals charge are unconscionable. If funding agencies and/or universities refuse to pay, it will stop.
