It’s not normal for a person to constantly issue threats of violence against people who don’t share his views.

Disagreements are fine. But threatening to execute people you don’t like with no care for the consequences is a little bit more worrisome than just being 80 years old, in my opinion.

Sabine Hossenfelder tried to use the story of penicillin to prove her thesis that capitalism leads to scientific progress. Here, I quote Ernst Chain, who won the Nobel Prize for his work on penicillin, to prove her wrong. skepchick.org/2023/09/sabine-i

I don’t even bother anymore with the qualification that it doesn’t have to go all the way to concentration camps or legal segregation for a resurgence of those ideologies to violate and destroy basic human rights.

Because I think a lot of the GOP base has gotten conditioned to thinking both are fine.

ORDERING IS NOW OPEN FOR ALL US HOUSEHOLDS!!!

Please order your tests, whether you "have enough" or can afford to purchase them yourself.

Demanding the tests already set aside for you by the federal government proves we still care about the ongoing pandemic.

Show them we know C19 remains a threat. We demand more support.

If you can afford your own tests, please redistribute your allotment to larger families/households. 4 TESTS PER ADDRESS IS NOT ENOUGH. You can also give them to free pantries or directly to your unhoused neighbors.

Please also remember to help your neighbors and loved ones, especially elders, who may not have internet access or who otherwise lack the ability to place their own orders.

No one should miss out on their tests for lack of accessibility.

Get your free rapid tests here:

Time for more Dems to get on board and show some spine and a willingness to fight like Sen. Fetterman.

Not only is it the right thing to do, it is also a political act to help differentiate ourselves from a lawless party in thrall to criminal authoritarian.

Senator Durbin, are you listening?

We all need to contact our representatives and push for them to act and act now.

Removing the cap on the amount that high income recipients pay on their SS taxes would go a long way to fix the SS deficit.

Why can’t high income recipients pay SS taxes at the same rate as a percentage of their income as lower wage people? They can, but the GOP doesn’t care about average people. They won’t impose any tax on the rich.

« As a national security professional by training, the charges against Sen. Menendez are of serious concern, especially the allegation of sharing confidential information with a foreign government. All Americans are innocent until proven guilty, but serving as a senior elected official requires a higher standard. When leaders become a distraction from the mission they’re meant to serve — in this case, representing your constituents — the right thing to do is resign. » -Rep Elissa Slotkin

“Researchers have synthesized spider silk from genetically modified silkworms, producing fibers 6 times tougher than the Kevlar used in bulletproof vests. The study, published on September 20 in the journal Matter, is the first to successfully produce full-length spider silk proteins using silkworms. The findings demonstrate a technique that could be used to manufacture an environmentally friendly alternative to synthetic commercial fibers such as nylon.” kilioa.org/m/science@kbin.soci #ClimateCrisis
