Don't pay too much attention to the "Biden had classified documents" story.

Classified documents end up misplaced more often than you'd think. The issue becomes a criminal one when they're NOT turned back over to the government upon discovery/request.

Biden's folks did exactly what they were supposed to do while Trump tried to obstruct efforts to secure classified documents.

The conservative position on trans youth relies on a gut feeling that there's something weird or wrong about trans youth. But a trans girl using a nickname is the same as any other kid using a nickname, and it should be treated the same way by the school.

Project Diana pointed an SCR-271 bed-spring radar antenna at the rising moon #OTD in 1946 and broadcast a series of short signals.

Each signal echoed off the moon and returned about 2.5s later, proving that radio could penetrate the ionosphere.

This was an important result for the nascent field of satellite communications, but reports of the project ignored the contributions of a Black physicist.

https://t.me/United24media/2988 ‼️🇨🇳Russia did not warn China about the invasion of Ukraine: the Chinese government now speaks of no confidence in Putin personally, — Financial Times. It is also alleged that China's deputy foreign minister was demoted "two levels of seniority" for failing to predict Russia's invasion of Ukraine. China now understands that Russia will likely fail to defeat Ukraine and emerge from the conflict as a “minor and weakened power.” #Ukraine #News #War #Russia #China

This is a fascinating read. The first assessment I've seen of how far away is too far for us to ever see something in the universe. https://link.medium.com/wVFFtw3Ftwb

There is no “justice” system.

Today, Trump Org CFO Weisselberg is being sentenced to five months jail.

On a five month sentence, he'll serve approximately 100 days.

As a public defender in Manhattan, I represented a man who was sentenced to 3-6 years (and will serve 1500+ days) for stealing a jacket.

What can we do, as researchers, when politicians act in confict with the knowledge that is already out there?

And I broaden: How does this impact the relationship between the State and People to #Research? How does this relate to the stamping of #activism as "non-scientific"? And who should have the power to define what IS scientific?

Once again, social media platforms were used to organize right wing extremism. This time, in Brazil.

I've previously said that the natural conclusion of Big Social is Fascism.

Centralists keep yelling "Godwin's Law!" to dismiss these concerns.

But the exact same playbook occurred within 2 years.

This is why we must destroy Big Social.

Globular clusters make me so happy 🤩

This is Messier 4, located in, you guessed it, the #constellation #Scorpius! Taken by #Hubble space telescope -- this is one of the closest globular clusters to earth at 5,500 LY away.

And if you want to learn more about the #astronomy and #mythology of #Scorpius, check out our most recent #podcast episode!

@TonyStark Well said Tony.
We definitely need to push for more organization at all levels. People seem to forget that local elections, even at the school board level, impacts everyone.
Besides organizing and all doing our part, the ‘adults in the room’ (like Garland et al.) need to hurry it up! I understand they need to have all their i’s dotted and t’s crossed, but I’m really frustrated and concerned about the amount of time trump and his co-conspirators have had to do more damage!

I've seen and heard a few comments saying Brazil's situation "resembles” the U.S. January 6 attack. It's worse than that.

It was inspired by and consciously modeled on the American insurrection. The GOP is no longer a pro-democracy party. They have been for years trying to destroy faith in our democracy and those around the world, undermine our institutions, and gain power to end our democracy.

They are a clear and present danger to our way of life, liberty, freedoms, and rights.

Many Americans used to believe our country was a beacon of freedom and democracy for the world. Republicans turned us into a beacon of how to stage a coup.

All of us need to come to grips with this. We need to act. We need to work to stop them. We need to organize at all levels. This certainly won’t be the last they have inspired. #Bolsonaro #Brazil
