Experts estimate that the cuts to USAID "have already resulted in about 300,000 deaths, most of them of children, and will most likely lead to significantly more by the end of the year. That is what Musk’s foray into politics accomplished." www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/o...

22 years ago I pivoted from working on antibiotic resistance to pandemic viruses. Since then, I've argued that if we care about saving US lives in expectation, advance capacity for producing bird flu vaccine offers by far the greatest expected return on investment. ... We were so goddamn close.

State Rep @jamestalarico.bsky.social gives a master class in Republican hypocrisy 🔥 The Texas House passed the Ten Commandments bill in an 82-46 vote… on the Sabbath, breaking the Fourth Commandment in the process.

Saw this elsewhere, and repeating it here: "When people complain about modern medical science, please remind them that before 1900, the average age of death was 33" This is the science and medicine that RFK Jr, Trump, and MAGA are dismissing, ridiculing, and attacking.

Of course this is great, but I think that there also needs to be a high-school level course rather than only a college level course. There needs to be something fairly simple for a non-college person.

Like I said a few times before, it was NEVER about campus protests or anti-semitism. It was always about seizing control of higher education through govt blackmail and coercion.

This is GRAVE- Look this up and find out if this is in the bill passed by the Republicans...if it is, America is no longer the country founded 250 years ago. SCOTUS gave a POTUS immunity - they knew this was coming... #ProudBlue #DemVoice1

It is well into being clear that we are not "headed" into a dictatorship and authoritarian government...we are well in it. When art and film are being restricted, we are being ruled, not governed. The only way for us to avoid a complete fall is to RESIST and make sure we have fair elections-

Tim Cook gave Trump a million dollars to stop this from happening and I for one am shocked that such a moronic fucking decision somehow backfired

The Trump Administration's attack on the right of international students to be at Harvard is an attack on the essence of universities. From the time universities were founded in the 12th and 13th centuries they drew students from all over, not just from their immediate territory.

if dems want messaging help, stop telling people you're "fighting back." it sounds like you're being mugged. call off the podcaster search, take your ridiculous money pile and try opening some food banks and free clinics. hurricanes are coming and the feds have no plan. looks like an opening to me.

www.motherjones.com/politics/202... Scientists have long warned that world leaders must urgently phase out fossil fuels and boost green technology to avert the worst possible consequences of the climate crisis. But Burgum said that is not the threat the Trump administration is worried about.

We closed Abbeville Road in Clapham to cars for a few hours today and something truly radical and transformative happened. We saw a community grow. People came out to chat, laugh, listen, gossip, eat, drink and share. Just proves that streets are for people not just for cars.

Do these look like ICE agents to you?! Fascist cowards are stalking Seattle’s courthouse halls, snatching people after their cases are dismissed. No crime. No warning. Just terror and deportation in hours. This is a war on due process & POCs —and we will fight like hell to end it🤬 #OnYourSide

The GOP’s “Big Beautiful Bill” is Robin Hood in reverse: it takes from the poor to give to the rich.SNAP (used to be Food Stamps…which Tabby and I used back in 1972) is gone. Medicare is going.
