Goosebumps about why we have asylum laws

MAGA is finding out the new pope is Pro-refugee Anti-gun violence Preaches climate action Pro-poor, not pro-profit Against nationalist hate Big on helping migrants All the things Jesus teaches And they are LIVID!!! 🤣

Well, just pick your favorite.

In New York, ICE detained a busload of farmworkers that were actively involved in a union drive. In Washington state, ICE dragged a farmworkers’ rights activist and leader out of his car to detain him. Be warned: attacking unions is a hallmark of fascism.

It’s quite simple really

Reminder that wellness grifters like Trump’s new Surgeon General Casey Means spread misinformation about vaccines and health because it is extremely profitable for them to do so. (Chart by @epidemiologistkat.bsky.social)

Your regular reminder that Elon Musk has called us "the parasite class" while he continues to take billions of our taxpayer money. So who is the parasite sucking the life blood out of America?

The overwhelming majority of jobs at the two biggest companies in America pay less than $20/hr. Meanwhile, the heads of those companies are some of the richest people on the planet. See the problem?

NEW: The rate of sepsis in Houston surged 63% after Texas banned abortion. In the Dallas-Fort Worth area, where hospital leaders empowered doctors to intervene before patients’ conditions worsened, it rose just 29%.

“Fit the profile,”

Wow the GOP is dysfunctional and absurd on purpose now

Nurses stand alongside us during our happiest — and hardest — moments of life. They hold our hands, they cheer us on, and the advocate for us! Happy #NursesWeek to all the nurses who show up and change patients' lives. ❤️

1/ For ProPublica’s “Life of the Mother” series, winner of the 2025 Pulitzer Prize for public service, we reported on five pregnant women who died after not receiving timely medical care in states with strict abortion bans. These are their stories 🧵

I spoke to @philosojules.bsky.social about the history of fairies for this fascinating guide he's now written: www.ecstaticintegration.org/p/what-every...

ICE says it is investigating the cause of death of 44-year-old Marie Ange Blaise in a Florida detention center on Friday. A local congresswoman says Blaise had complained of chest pains "for hours."

A reminder: there is likely nothing you get from Amazon that you can’t get elsewhere online. It’s not that hard to stop shopping there. You just have to plan ahead a few days. Example: I always tell my patients to purchase their OTC skincare products & supplements elsewhere, & give them options.

NEW: Farmers are dying by suicide at the third-highest rate by vocation in Utah. But after a federal program offering mental health support ran out of money, the state did not continue it. By @jessicamiller.bsky.social, with @sltrib.com

Financial stress and access to services is part of the social determinants. I wonder if Dr.Oz and Bobby Kennedy will advocate for a more equitable financial system and Redistributive justice to improve health outcomes 😂 Anyway, posting this article for me.

According to @mtosterholm.bsky.social, the Vaccine Integrity Project “will be aimed at assessing the best ways for vaccine proponents to safeguard vaccination policy and information, should government recommendations and information sources become “corrupted”” cc @jackiantonovich.bsky.social

“I don’t see this as speculative. It is a modeling exercise, but it’s based on good numbers,” says Jeffrey Griffiths, professor of public health and community medicine at Tufts University… “The big point is that measles is very likely to become endemic quickly if we continue in this way.”

I had a great talk with @franifio.bsky.social and @wajali.bsky.social last night about what happens when you pull back the curtain of MAHA even slightly. zeteo.com/p/rfk-and-hi...

Name & shame these "agents." Make these "ICE" thugs famous so wherever they go they are shunned, spat at & harassed. Sand in the gears, buggers in their fries! Don't make it easy for the Gestapo to abuse & harass. Harass back. Get close up photos of their faces, ask for their names.

Toxicologist here! This will improve the health of zero Americans. Current synthetic food dyes are not causing health problems, and are often times used because they are actually safer than natural food dyes. Reminder that guns are the #1 cause of death of children but we are going to ban food dyes.

No one is entitled to a second tier of justice. No one. This shouldn’t be a controversial statement.

What does the new administration mean for the future of public health? Watch what our scientific advisory board has to say. www.accountabilityjournalism.org/insights/aji...

The shame of it.

Goldman on Abrego Garcia: "If he had due process he would not have been removed. Then they would've had to go through the process of proving it. This is why due process matters- so you don't make mistakes like this. That you do have a neutral arbiter that decides the law. Not the executive branch."

Truth 💯 #MomSky

Shout out to all the finance bros who didn’t give a shit about democracy, human rights, racism, homophobia, misogyny, the future of the planet or basic human decency and voted for the conman they thought was gonna be good for the economy. You guys are geniuses.

Dear senators who think you can’t do anything, Today, Senator Van Hollen - through diplomatic pressure - got a meeting with Abrego Garcia in El Salvador. So that thing you’re thinking about doing? DO IT. ~ All of Us

Call and thank your Republican Representative if he/she is one of the 12 who’ve found their spine to stand up to Trump. 👇

Hogg says he wants to fund primary challenges against Democratic lawmakers who he feels are "out of touch" and not fighting President Trump hard enough. (via @wbur.org)

In front of descendants of survivors of the Sand Creek Massacre, Colorado lawmakers Monday unanimously signed off on a memorial sculpture to commemorate the 1864 atrocity at the state Capitol.

Montana is investing $300 million to help those with severe mental illness from cycling through ERs, state psychiatric facilities, jails and homelessness. Advocates say they also need stable housing.

'Delusional' Zuckerberg shot down after Trump failed to come to his rescue: report www.rawstory.com/zuckerberg-m...

Reminder that Bobby is the unnatural color of a 5-day-old rotisserie chicken because to try to look tanned he injects illegal substances he buys on the illicit market because they’ve never been approved for use in humans (because they were unsafe in animals) … but he thinks injecting vaccines is bad
