RIP Peter Higgs, who laid foundation for the Higgs boson in the 1960s. Higgs shared the 2013 Nobel Prize in Physics with François Englert. https://arstechnica.com/science/2024/04/nobel-prize-winning-physicist-peter-higgs-of-higgs-boson-fame-dies-at-94/

Conservative co-sponsors abandon their own bill after gay politician’s powerful speech. Nebraska's anti-trans bill failed after the two state senators refused to vote for it.

Yep, and look at this conspiracy theory that they're spreading as well. Look at the map of the gas fields on the left and then convince me that Israel is going to bother trying to drill wells and guard rigs in the Gaza territorial waters when they've got so much going on throughout their less disputed ones.

I'm in no way condoning methane extraction, but I think by tying together fossil fuels with Israel helps the political technologists rage farm from the left side of the aisle.

Today, she said she OPPOSES the AZ Supreme Court's decision to reinstate an 1864 total abortion ban

In 2022, she said she supported that law and any other mechanism to prohibit abortion from the moment of conception

#Louisiana teacher asks school board why it can find money to give the superintendent of schools a raise, but none for teachers, whose salaries have long flatlined. She was removed, handcuffed, and placed in a police car. https://www.upworthy.com/teacher-pay-give-janitor-car-rp5

The global media consistently quotes Hamas' figures regarding the casualties in Gaza. As of this writing, the number they cite uncritically is 33,000 Palestinian deaths in Gaza, but these numbers are inflated and hide the fact that, in this war, the civilian casualty mortality rate is relatively low. It's imperative to understand these figures, as Hamas' sole way to survive is by increasing and inflating the civilian casualty figures, in order to pressure the international community to stop Israel's just war on the perpetrators of the October 7 massacre.

It pisses me off to no end that the GOP held House won't bring a Ukraine aid package to a vote. It's fucking infuriating.

The Ukrainian people deserve so much more than this. They are brave as fuck, and the spineless GOP is gonna be the cause of their demise because they lick the balls of Vladimir. It's disgusting.

My Administration is proposing we cancel the debts of 2 million borrowers who are eligible for debt forgiveness through the SAVE Plan, Public Service Loan Forgiveness, or other debt cancelation programs but haven't enrolled yet.

You deserve relief.

@Oeneus

The far left doesn't care about Palestinians as people, just as convenient props against Jews.

Similarly, Hamas doesn't care about the Palestinians it claims to represent as people, just as convenient martyrs against Israel.

While Speaker Mike Johnson thinks the threat from Russia is all fun and games, in Europe we now see Germany deploying 5,000 troops to Lithuania in its first permanent deployment since 1945.

Understand that for eight decades, Germany had zero intentions of becoming a dominant military power, but Putin gives Europeans no choice.

This is how real it is outside the MAGA bubble.

"Not voting at all, voting 'uncommitted,' or voting 3rd party (RFK, Jr.) gives the election to Trump, who not only wants Gaza eliminated or Ukraine turned over to Russia, but would also end all of the rights we have now that the Republicans haven’t already tried to eliminate.

We must VOTE BLUE all up and down the ballot in every state. Period."

Sigh.

⚠️ BREAKING:

CDC tells health officials to prepare for human cases of H5N1 bird flu.

Local health leaders were told by agency officials that they should have 'up-to-date operational plans' should H5N1 spread to humans.

CDC officials emphasized that the risk to the general public remains low.

Here's a picture of an "eclipse" from space in case you are interested.

When you hear them say
(and you will hear them say)
that avian influenza
only poses a risk
to farm workers
do not reply by telling them
“for now”
no, instead remind them
(and remind yourself)
that farm workers are people too.
