Happy father's day to my late Mom. She was the one that help fix things, deal with urgent repairs, knew the number to the hardware store. My Dad takes care of all the "worrying" like whether I can deduct bagged ice post surgery for FSA.

I am wondering why Lisa Leher from the @nytimes.com did not discuss the data that suggests political violence in the US in the current era mostly comes from the right. Seems like a strange fact to ignore. 1/ www.nytimes.com/2025/06/14/u...

A panel of antivaxxers in charge of vaccine recommendations, approvals, and insurance coverage…to gatekeep vaccines from Americans. The goal has always been to take away all vaccines, and it is disgraceful that so many in the media and in power pretended it could ever be anything but that. For shame

The AMA's House of Delegates has adopted an emergency resolution opposing RFK Jr.'s move to gut the federal vaccine advisory council. The nation's top doctors association will seek a U.S. Senate investigation of his action, as well as alternate vaccine advice from elsewhere to invest in.

Kind of wild that the New York Times has more sympathy for an influencer who posted child porn than it does for trans children who want to be left alone.

“The Columbia footage that we subpoenaed conclusively proves that Mahmoud never attempted to run from the ICE agents, that the government lied once again, & that there was no valid reason for the arrest of a US permanent resident and human rights defender” - Ramzi Kassem to @premthakker.bsky.social

To be clear, I truly don't GAF that some wealthy and/or famous women were passengers on a Bezos rocket. It is not in any way inspiring, especially at a time when NASA budgets are being slashed and women engineers & scientists are being pushed out of their careers and having their legacies erased 🧪

"No Other Land," the Palestinian-Israeli made film showing the destruction of the occupied West Bank's Masafer Yatta by Israeli soldiers, just won the Oscar for Best Documentary. It can't get a distributor in the US. Which tells you everything about censorship in the US.

There has been a lot of chatter today about Zelenskyy's meeting with Trump, some regarding this moment when White House correspondent Brian Glenn asked if the Ukrainian president plans to wear a suit. I want to address idea in this thread. 🧵
