I'm out w/ the great folks of Action STL doing tornado cleanup. We could REALLY use bottled water; and black tote bins for storing relief and volunteer supplies would be great. Feel free to message me for my Venmo or Zelle and I can pick up materials, or donate directly. Also don't donate trash.

Classrooms are inherently political. Every time a teacher covers a topic or historical figure or literature, they are being political. The politics of those they leave in and those they leave out.

Just to be clear, this is a violation of the fundamental ethical principle in clinical trial design called "equipoise." Equipoise means that no-one is exposed to excess risk just to test the therapy. That's specifically why vaccine trials don't use placebo arms. Ethical violation as POLICY.

The moment I saw “Clarksdale, Mississippi, 1932” in the opening credits, I was locked in! So much history and culture in the film. So Dr. Keisha Blain and I created the #SinnersMovieSyllabus

This is petty. The FBI has reassigned several agents simply for being photographed kneeling in solidarity with racial justice protesters in D.C. during the 2020 demonstrations after George Floyd’s murder.

Men, you won’t find the answers to life’s questions in grindset manuals and self-help books, you’ll find them in myth, history, philosophy and literature, but some of you aren’t ready to have that conversation.

When RFK Jr talks about "make America healthy again", he doesn't mean by better healthcare. He means only people who are healthy without assistance should be allowed to live. He means disabled/elderly people shouldn't be taking resources from others. He means they should die. He means eugenics. 💯

Breast cancer diagnoses rose by over 300% between 1973 and 1992. Was there a breast cancer epidemic?! NO. Mammograms were implemented for screening in 1976. PREVALENCE is a function of being able to correctly diagnose something. This is also about autism.

I simply do not understand how a NEWS ORGANIZATION is basically existing in a stage of siege but very rarely conveys in its political coverage that we are in a state of emergency

Yesterday was incredible. The official count is in — 5.2 million people joined the #HandsOff protest nationwide. So many are asking: what’s next? Mark your calendars: 4/19 is the next nationwide day of protest.

Do you know who laid the foundation for the FDA? President Theodore Roosevelt. Do you know why? Because he read a great piece of literature that exposed the mistreatment of immigrant workers and the disgusting, unsanitary practices in meatpacking plants… The book is called “The Jungle.”

This should terrify every person in this country. The use of machine learning systems to approximate an individuals views on war and then, if they are here lawfully on a visa, tag them for deportation is about as sci-fi dystopian as it gets. www.axios.com/2025/03/06/s...

When Trump effectively shuts down the NLRB, corporate bosses can illegally fire workers who are trying to form a union and flagrantly violate labor laws. Today, I am reintroducing the PRO Act to strengthen unions, and restore power and legal rights to workers.

The first nationwide database tracking misconduct by federal police officers has been shut down by Trump — deleting a resource experts said improved public safety by helping prevent bad officers from jumping to new agencies and starting over with clean records. www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

at some point if you're willing to admit that this salute mimicks another recent famous salute you might as well just say which historical salute both are mimicking. but apparently nobody wants to be the first to say "Nazi"
