Elections have consequences. The Supreme Court will be changed for a generation. I’ll never see a moderate court again in my lifetime. Alito and Thomas will step down and Trump will appoint 40 year old partisans to the bench. The damage he is about to inflict on our institutions

People - including top US journalists, perhaps especially top US journalists - don’t quite get how bad it’s going to be. How beyond term one it’ll be. How bad the Musks and RFKs will be. I don’t think even I fully accept how bad it’s going to be and I have been shouting how bad

Having grown up in Berlusconi's Italy, I can feel it in my bones that when they win the first time, it's tough, but when they win *again*, after all they've demonstrated, *that's* the really hard one to take

the fundamental problem Democrats have is that while the right has an entire media ecosystem built to bash Democrats the left also has an entire media ecosystem…built to bash Democrats

I think a lot of the western leftists don't realize that the "collapse of American empire" they always talk about is this—a total descent into fascism and instability. It's what you so desperately wanted in order to reach the conditions for revolution, now reap what you sow

.Tom Nichols: “In the end, a majority of American voters chose Trump because they wanted what he was selling: a nonstop reality show of rage and resentment. Some Democrats, still gripped by the lure of wonkery, continue to scratch their heads over which policy proposals might

Democrats see value in blunting the worst aspects of society. But a majority of people don't. A majority of people agree with Republicans that some people should be hurt (the "right" people, of course) some helped (rich people) and everybody else should just deal with reality.

Why is anybody shocked or surprised by any of this? I'm genuinely asking. It's like you have retconned the past 9 years. What about any of this is remotely surprising?

someone just responded to an email saying ‘i have no clue what you’re talking about’ and honestly so refreshing. let’s normalize not knowing what the fuck is going on.

I’ve rarely seen these kinds of visceral comments so broadly shared. Biz & political leaders should think about this anger & how unfettered profit for oligarchs is leading to more & more breakdown in society. It’s no surprised that healthcare is a lightening rod for this.

This is the climate crisis. This is how people turn into climate refugees. We are so pitifully unprepared for the future. If you think this is bad, just wait a few months for the next once in a generation disaster.

Don’t Post About Crimes (@katerosebee) 's Twitter Profile Photo

At the end of the Camp Fire trial that found PG&E responsible for 84 deaths, they read to the courtroom how each person was found deceased in their home. It was one of the most sobering things I have ever heard and I resent often that we seem afraid to share that with the public.

I need people to understand how difficult it is to get an NIH grant. You spend months writing a proposal, following strict guidelines that include a detailed multiyear budget, bios of everyone on your team, plans for participant safety & ethical conduct. Then you send it off -1/n
