People will accept fascism if it means they can keep their ableism.

Novavax’s Covid-19 vaccine, which missed its target approval date after FDA political appointees intervened, has now been approved.

“In ‘advanced’ nations, clean water is considered essential, but we tolerate foul air, despite a century of evidence that it harms.”

(Reuters) - Food rations that could supply 3.5 million people for a month are mouldering in warehouses around the world because of U.S. aid cuts and risk becoming unusable, according to five people familiar with the situation. www.reuters.com/world/us-aid...

9 people were killed in a tornado last night in KY. The NWS office responsible for that area has faced some of the most extreme cuts by the Trump administration, including the loss of overnight forecasting. Last night, they were rushing to find help for the office. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/16/w...

#ICYMI: Disclosure forms show that U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi sold between $1 million and $5 million worth of shares on April 2. That day, after the market closed, Trump’s “Liberation Day” press conference sent the market tumbling. 📽️: @josesepulveda.bsky.social

While Big Pharma seems ready to weather the tariff storm, independent pharmacists and makers of generic drugs — which account for 90% of U.S. prescriptions — see trouble ahead for patients. kffhealthnews.org/news/article...

Israel's plan to permanently remove international humanitarian organizations from Gaza and instate a joint U.S. scheme instead would only supply at most 60% of the population with minimum rations, meaning the current mass starvation would still unfold.

KOSA is being reintroduced today. It's always been a dangerous censorship bill. But in this environment, with Trump weaponizing every aspect of the Federal government to suppress speech he doesn't like, KOSA is a catastrophic attack on human rights. We have to stop it. StopKOSA.com

Every Republican just voted against my amendment to block tax cuts for people who make over $100 million. $100 million - ridiculously rich people, .002% of US households. Republicans’ bill showers them with billions in tax cuts. Every Republican voted to keep it that way.

RESULT: Omaha's Republican Mayor Jean Stothert just lost to her Democratic challenger John Ewing. Stothert, who was running for a fourth term, resorted to anti-trans ads and messaging around who uses bathrooms in the final stretch of the campaign. Ewing will be Omaha's first Black mayor.

Hey world, remember when you thought this was awesome? (Which, by the way, it was). Yeah well she's been suspended for a week now because of it; it's coloniser rules and forms of expression allowed only, indigenous people must only be angry in white ways. www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

Devastating NIH cuts to infectious disease research, eviscerating our nation’s capacity to fight emerging infections and pandemic threats. From @sanders.senate.gov report out yesterday www.sanders.senate.gov/wp-content/u...

I'm able to report on disability as a disabled/chronically ill person because I'm able to manage my symptoms better remotely.

It's official. I filed a Senate Resolution of Disapproval. RFK is CLEARLY in violation of his constitutional oath. He must resign.

Wouldn’t it be great if instead of fighting Medicaid cuts, the Dems fought for Universal Healthcare? Stop the cuts (obviously) but go further. Universal healthcare would make the biggest difference in the health of the nation. Not eliminating food dye. Not “healthy diet”. Give people healthcare

So not only can fluoride not go in water, *you can’t get it at all*. We’re going to have at least a generation of people with a lifetime of serious dental problems because our country is run by lunatics who want your children to be sick.

People are being fired for wearing a mask to work. This is horrible and against public health. We need to pass laws that explicitly protect the right to mask.

Masking should be mandatory in all healthcare settings. Hospitals and doctor’s offices are where most sick people congregate. It’s also the most likely place for more high risk people to be. You shouldn’t have to risk getting sicker or more disabled while trying to get treatment.

Fun reminder time! Protesting is our legal right. These people are being kidnapped by the state.

🚨HIT THE PHONES TO SAVE MEDICAID - PLEASE AMPLIFY & ACT 🚨 TODAY the House will be marking up deeply unpopular massive Medicaid cuts. MANY GOP on the committee are in tight districts. Calls and pressure ARE effective here. Call today. Type your zip to get a script ⬇️ OcasioCortez.com/savemedicaid

MASSIVE crowd outside of the House Energy & Commerce Committee with a clear message for Republicans trying to steal their healthcare: HANDS OFF MEDICAID! #HandsOff

Activists showed up to fight for Medicaid. You can add to the pressure mounting on vulnerable GOP reps. 📱 202-224-3121 and tell you Rep. #NoMedicaidCuts‼️ Remind them that if they vote for cuts, you’ll vote them out!

NO CUTS TO MEDICAID

Hasan Piker detained at the border and questioned for hours over politics. He was asked whether or not he’d interviewed Hamas, Houthis, or Hezbollah members. He was questioned about his opinions on Trump and Israel.

“Because if you lend it out to a museum and there’s not enough staff to treat it in the way you want [it] to be treated, then we wonder whether it’s a good thing to be sending our collection.”

404,000 pairs of shoes. One invisible illness.👟 This is what ME looks like in the UK: thousands lost to a disabling illness. Symbolised by shoes that stretch around London. 🛌Yet there is still no effective care Time for action! @ashleydaltonmp.bsky.social #MEAwarenessDay #MillionsMissing

man I miss wearing lolita. or just being able to dress up in anything other than sweats in general 🫠

“yea honestly transit is gonna keep being fucked up” is just what you want to hear from the guy in charge of fixing it

Just a friendly reminder that our current Covid vaccines do not meaningfully prevent infection or transmission of Covid. Misleading the public about this fact led to massive distrust about vaccines and record vaccine hesitancy. It's SO crucial to make ppl aware of this fact to fight vax hesitancy

TLDR: This is an SOS. If you don’t have capacity to read this whole thread, please skip ahead to ***WAYS YOU CAN HELP*** Please pick at least one! 🙏🏻💙 #MEAwareness #MillionsMissing #DisabilitySOS #WorldMEDay #GreatestMEdicalScandal #MyalgicEncephalomyelitis #MECFS #LongCovid

🧪 Re-upping this story for scientists. The man in the photo and interviewed in the story—is physiological ecologist Nathan Phillips at Boston U. Among other topics, he studies urban gas leaks. He’s also my friend. Dr Phillips’ own research findings inform his activism. www.wbur.org/news/2025/05...

He is one of hundreds, if not thousands, of academics nationwide who’ve lost funding in a variety of critical, lifesaving, research fields through the Trump administration. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Casey Means, Trump's new nominee for Surgeon General, recounts seeking out therapy including "plant medicine," "the divine feminine" and "quantum neuro reset therapy," which soon led her to "deconstruct my identity as a feminist" and reject "equality" in favor of a relationship with a "powerful man"
