['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.']
Date: 2025-06-12
We have bad news for Rs on karma, and Good Gnus for us on resistance, including peaceful protests in LA, lots of peaceful protests against ICE and HSI around the country, and vast, enormous, massive, humongous protests coming together for No Kings Day on Saturday.
I’m not doing tariff or Felon v fElon or military in LA events today. There is far too much of it.
Nor the Whatsit’s Soviet-style Birthday Parade in DC neither.
Putin's newest, most modern tank makes its debut at Putin's 'Victory Day' parade
Rabidly Repellent Republicans Rushing to Ruin/Bad News for Them

x Trump's NIH Director couldn't tell me how many clinical trials had been impacted by grants he’s frozen, terminated, or delayed. So I told him—he cancelled clinical trials to:
-Develop an HIV vaccine,
-Treat type II diabetes
-Help cure recurrent ovarian cancer. This is what's happening RIGHT NOW.

x House Republicans had another opportunity to remove the Medicaid and SNAP cuts from Trump’s Tax Scam. And once again, they didn’t. The GOP is making changes to the bill to ensure it will pass and they get to take away more Americans’ healthcare — because the cruelty is the point.

Only ICE, HSI, some LA police, and CA National Guard are rioting. The marines haven’t been deployed yet.
Regular Good News
Science! Lifeforms! Weirdness (Legitimate or Stupid)!
Our kind of Good News, at 95 mg caffeine in one cup of coffee.

Scientists love That’s Weird results. Good questions are commonly valued more highly than answers. Like not knowing what dark matter and dark energy are, and not having a theory of Quantum Gravity.
x JWST reveals that galaxies grow up quickly in our Universe According to simulations, features like central bars, spiral arms, big sizes, and rotating disks take enormous times to occur. But with JWST, we see they occur earlier than ever.
