How many reporters are currently working on tell-all exposés about their own organization, detailing all the acts of cowardice of their editors and publishers? I won’t ever buy your book about Sleepy Joe Biden, but I’d absolutely devour a book about the internal collapse of the NYT or CNN.

The tide will turn. It's just a question of how long it'll take and how many have to suffer first. It's so rage-making. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

I encourage everyone to consider attending one of the many demonstrations planned for tomorrow across the country. Show up. Demand accountability. Peacefully protest. Find the rally closest to you: NoKings.org

This is such a pet peeve of mine. Vaccines save lives. That is a fact. There are no alternative facts for this one, and skepticism doesn't apply to facts. www.who.int/news/item/24...

Bought these yesterday. According to the Trump regime, we should let food rot on trees because "criminals" are picking the fruit. #AbolishICE #NoKings

Important point about Kristi Noem and the threat she made just before @padilla.senate.gov was assaulted by her minions. www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

It's exhausting being so angry all the time. So much energy that could have been spent on other things.

So glad eggs are cheaper now.

I'll be working but I'm encouraging everyone I know to go. Strength in numbers. The people united can never be defeated. #NoKings

I went through all 8 ACIP nominees, with the help of @debunk-the-funk.bsky.social @statnews.com @tom.medsky.social @luckytran.com @ryanmarino.bsky.social @johnrossmd.bsky.social @elizabethjacobs.bsky.social Don’t worry, it’s probably worse than you think! (Too long to upload here) MedSky 🩺

To everybody who sat this one out, who said "both sides are corrupt," who said their moral compass prevented them from voting for Kamala Harris: we TOLD you this was gonna happen. Happy now?

The American College of Physicians, the largest medical specialty organization in the US, did have a statement about the ACIP dismissals. This was prior to the announcement of the replacements. (Transcribed in alt text)

Also - "pro-vaccine" groups is NOT.A.THING Next they'll be talking about "pro-breathing" groups in a balanced discussion of the pros and cons of waterboarding.

🧵 from a pediatrician who is furious at the ACIP firings and the evisceration of the CDC. My mother was recently telling me stories from her childhood, of kids she knew contracting polio, of never being allowed to swim in public pools for fear of polio. 1/

So then Elon goes "Kill the Bill!" and Trump goes "Elon has TDS!" so Elon goes "I'm the reason Trump won!" so Trump goes "we waste billions on Elon!" so Elon goes "Epstein!" and a corpulent flunkie goes "Deport Elon!" and Elon goes "Impeach!" And THAT'S why women are too emotional to be President.

NYT Jan 14, 2024. Hard to believe this was barely more than a year ago.

Human decency is not a radicalized idea. Showing compassion for others is not a radicalized idea. Wanting safety for others is not a radicalized idea. This should be the default of the human condition to be able to work together for the betterment of all, not just some.

Great news www.nbcnews.com/news/asian-a...

Immigrants fleeing horrors in their home country should be welcome here, not ziptied or shoved in the back of a truck while screaming that they can't breathe. Why is this radical?

If we don't talk about it, it's not real. Right? apnews.com/article/mode...

Dr. Annie Andrews is a pediatrician, a mom, and a lifelong advocate for kids’ safety! South Carolina families deserve a leader who will stand up to the gun lobby, not bow down to it. Let’s go! 💙 @drannieandrews.com @sapnakmd.bsky.social @drdrmaya.bsky.social secure.actblue.com/donate/drkg4...

Nailed it 🎯

Lots of people who feel opposed to the descent into authoritarianism are justifiably at a loss for where to start principled oppositional work. This, from @sifill.bsky.social – speaking here to new lawyers – is an example of a really beautiful, honest, manageable, and clear answer to that prompt.

As for many other things there is a German word for this, which is Führerprinzip.

HOMEWORK! 📝 Mrs. Frazzled has an assignment for us. 🗣️ We’re in a public comment period until June 20. 🚌 You can tell Dept of Ed not to cut grants funding, DEI or SEL from public schools. They have to read your comments. ALL HANDS IN DECK FOR PUBLIC EDUCATION! 🍎 🙏🏼 @mrs-frazzled.bsky.social

It's simple, folks. Vaccines - good Babies dying from preventable disease - bad. The end.

Why are accepting this? Secret police?

The only two things that will get bigger and bigger are the wealth gap and the deficit. And there's nothing beautiful about hungry children or sick people without health insurance.
