Reading in the June issue of @sciam.bsky.social about a UV daily treatment for MS that doesn’t cure but gives one back their energy. Medical device by Cytokind seems to calm the out of control immune system but not yet tested on a large sample. It might also work for other autoimmune diseases.

“companies announcing mass layoffs: Lacroix Electronics, FedEx, Frito-Lay, Blue Diamond Growers, Michaels Stores, Kohl’s, Target, JCPenney, Bilfinger Inc., Globe Motors and Geodis Inc., according to…Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act notices.” Ohio one of the most affected.

We don’t know what the real name of the Director of White House Personnel is, we don’t know what country he came from, he refuses to turn in background check forms, and nobody will ask the president or press secretary about it.

Members of Congress are being denied access to an ICE facility in Manhattan, because the conditions inside are that bad.

The Senate GOP added a $1 billion tax break to their draft of the budget reconciliation package. The bill "includes giveaway after giveaway for the fossil fuel industry," said Alan Zibel of Public Citizen. www.commondreams.org/news/gop-big...

DHS saying ICE wasn’t conducting an operation is pure BS. We’ve seen the admin lie consistently, and our communities know what we saw. Immigrant advocates and our neighbors will keep looking out for each other and staying vigilant.

Zohran Mamdani is standing up to the oligarchy and fighting to make one of America’s most expensive cities affordable for the working class. If you’re a New York City voter, I urge you to rank him #1 on your ballot by next Tuesday. @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social

Protesters said “We can still make the whole place shimmer” ✨ 👏🏼 😂

Six former CDC vaccine advisory committee chairs warn: U.S. risks losing access to life-saving immunizations www.statnews.com/2025/06/20/a... via @statnews.com

ICE's increasingly aggressive tactics are unacceptable and dangerous. They do not make us any safer. I’m calling for an independent investigation right now — this abuse of power must end.

This, despite Ohio citizens mandated an end to gerrymandering. Despite our Supreme Court ruling to redraw district maps. Blatant law breaking.

While we wait for the Supreme Court to rule in a critical redistricting case from Louisiana, this is what the GOP is up to in Texas and Ohio. Remember the GOP's plan is to make it harder for you to vote and easier for them to cheat.

NEW: Judge Farbiarz, now in writing, orders the release of Mahmoud Khalil on bail TODAY. AND—happy surprise—he reconsiders and adds a line forbidding electronic monitoring, as Judge Sessions did for Rümeysa Öztürk. He also forbids monetary bond due today. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Japan cancelled a top-level meeting with the US after the Trump administration abruptly told Tokyo to boost defence spending to 3.5%, higher than its earlier request of 3%. (FT) Bridges are burning.

www.kcrw.com/news/shows/k... This man is a HERO Don't want to shout his name due to ICE following him, but the article says it so hopefully not This is a great way to help, establish underground networks to shut-in migrants KINDESS & DECENCY I have donated (ht @kslatteryresist.bsky.social ty)🙏

Amen to that. Time for editors to drop the photos of family days on the beach and use photos of real people suffering from heat stroke... dead people and animals who have succumbed to heat and dehydration. Then people might start to understand.

It's #HeatActionDay, and we're releasing a new series of Heat Action Profiles that highlight the heat-specific initiatives, priorities and resources of 16 UN and international organizations, in partnership with @undrr.bsky.social and @wmo-global.bsky.social heathealth.info/news/new-pro...

In honour of #ShowYourStripes Day 2025, which falls tomorrow, read our interview with the scientist who created the climate stripes. Professor Ed Hawkins spoke to ASPECT's Grahame Madge about the state of climate change in Europe... 👉 Read article here: buff.ly/PJYRCTB

Today's Berardelli Bonus: Saturday is #ShowYourStripes day. Warming stripes are a colorful eye-catching visual created by @ed_hawkins . They quickly convey how fast our cities and planet as a whole are warming. Get your stripes: showyourstripes.info & www.climatecentral.org/climate-matt...

June 21 is Show Your Stripes Day—a time to spark conversation about how our world is warming. This video shows how @noaa.gov temperature data for the U.S. is turned into the iconic stripes visualizations you may see shared today and tomorrow. @edhawkins.org

Meislas While the circus grabs headlines, Senate Republicans are scheming to spike student loan bills by nearly $3,000 a year—forcing more people into default. All to bankroll billionaire tax breaks. It’s cruel, calculated, and happening right now. #DontKillOurMedicaid

"And if it gets yes votes, and if it actually passes, there's nothing you can do to make it good enough."

this seems correct

Another way to put this: Russia, bogged down in Ukraine, is unable to help its partners www.nytimes.com/2025/06/17/w...

#Odesa is on fire.The city's historic center is on the UNESCO World Heritage List. "High-culture" Russians are barbarians in reality.What they can't steal,they destroy The attention of the world is on the Middle East these days.Russia continues going unpunished, will continue destroying #Ukraine

😞❗️ The occupiers massively attacked Odessa, Kharkiv and the suburbs with more than 20 strike drones , - President Zelenskyy reacted to the nightly terrorist attack and called on partners to increase pressure on the Russian Federation.

Not a way to #BuildBackBetter although it’s cheaper insulation so deregulation will greatly encourage use.

Trump/EPA are considering reversing the ban on asbestos. Asbestos is EXTREMELY carcinogenic. Every year, over 40,000 in the US die from residual asbestos exposure – globally, more than 250,000 die annually. This is absolute insanity. Call your Senators and Representative and demand this is stopped.

“We're removing additives from food and replacing them with asbestos.” #MAHA

Another dumb a$$ idea to #BuildBackBetter. Bring back asbestos.

Gosh when are we going to see an accounting of the DOGE cost savings. Maybe in #twoweeks.

"Within two weeks" is Trumpspeak meaning "never". His healthcare plan? It's coming out in two weeks. (On many occasions.) Russia's deadline for ending the Ukraine war? Two weeks. Imposing of tariffs? Two weeks. The truth is, Trump is a dumbass bum with all the organization of a slug. #TwoWeeks

I’m thinking I need to go on a fasting diet. I hear it’s the only way to lose weight. Maybe in #twoweeks.
