RFK Jr. says the CDC will no longer recommend COVID vaccines for healthy pregnant women. Yet doctors have found that stillbirths can result from COVID directly infiltrating the placenta — even for people whose COVID symptoms were mild or nonexistent. @deldeib.bsky.social‬'s story from 2022:

“MAHA is, above all things, the apotheosis of a puritanical American tendency to blame the ill for their illness, the poor for their poverty.” This is excellent writing on some terrible policy.

search for avengers: doomsday on google and one of the top results is an image from/link to a fake, fan-made trailer. sigh. on every front the line between real and fake is being aggressively blurred.

we’re in a place where these guys aren’t actually very popular but their fans are a loud enough minority that they’re still able to do an enormous amount of damage every shithead Andrew Tate fan feels like five

21 charges for Andrew Tate including rape and human trafficking.

The chinless wonder….

British prosecutors have approved 21 charges against self styled misogynist influencers, brothers Andrew and Tristan #Tate, including rape, assault, and human trafficking. | NPR www.npr.org/2025/05/28/n...

Trump pardoned the Chrisleys—convicted of fraud and tax evasion. Shocker. Add them to his Hall of Shame, right next to Manafort, Bannon, Stone, Arpaio, Fiore. He doesn’t drain the swamp, he swims in it and throws lifelines to fellow con artists. Corruption loves company.

Kamala Harris supports science, experts and vaccines but folks choose evil over the sane and qualified black lady. 🤷 #CDC

BREAKING: Judge Xinis DENIES the Trump administration an additional 30 days to file a response to the complaint in the Abrego Garcia case. "Defendants expended no effort in demonstrating good cause. But these self-described burdens are of their own making." storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

NPR is suing Trump. Why? Because he slashed their funding just for doing their job—which is political retaliation. He’s trying to silence public media because they don’t bow down to his ego. News flash: the First Amendment doesn’t disappear just because you don’t like the coverage, Donnie.

Dear Lord, you've taken my favorite comedian, Ruth Buzzi, my favorite actor, Val Kilmer, and my favorite singer, Roberta Flack. I just wanted to let you know my favorite politician is Donald Trump.

Take time out to enjoy the journey ...

Found in archives, David Blight uncovered the first Memorial Day was founded by African Americans in a ritual of remembrance & consecration. May 1, 1865 black workmen reburied Union soldiers who were in a mass grave. Then joined others (10K) who marched around the site. #MemorialDay @nyhistory

Memorial Day History🇺🇸

Any public “disagreement” between Putin and Trump is either rehearsed, or just part of Trump’s dementia.

Crockett: They have nothing to show for it except for those top earners being able to have their next trophy wife or buy their next yacht, or get their next plane, that doesn't work for me. And that obviously does not work for my constituents.

If we stop calling these “grants” and start calling them “contracts,” it’s clearer to people why this is such an abuse of power. This wasn’t a bunch of gifts. This was a bunch of binding contracts between researchers and the US govt for specific agreed upon projects.

Just listened to Paul Simon’s “American Tune” on the radio tonight and now I can’t stop crying.

What an amazing sight!

Musk’s team was caught using a customized version of the Grok chatbot, without approval, to sift through sensitive government data inside the Department of Homeland Security. They used a modified version in an attempt to hide the fact that they were doing it.

Scores of staffers at the White House National Security Council have been abruptly dismissed as part of a sweeping overhaul that slashes the staff from over 300 to just 50. The move shifts the NSC’s role from policymaking to simply carrying out the president’s directives.

What?!?! The EPA has drafted a plan to eliminate all pollution controls from coal and gas-fired power plants. The agency claims these plants “do not contribute significantly” to dangerous pollution or climate change, arguing their emissions are a small and declining share of global totals.

Paranoia inside the Trump administration is ramping up, they’re now polygraphing their own staff. Everyone in our coalition made it through this week’s round safely.

Will you do the entire set?

Whoa! New polling shows that a majority of voters in EVERY SINGLE CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT oppose cuts to Medicaid. Members of Congress should take note. ☎️ Flood the Capitol switchboard to voice your opposition to the bill from hell. 202-224-3121. Defend Medicaid! Defeat Cancer!

They’re just delaying the inevitable.

Did you know that $100M in food aid is rotting in warehouses that could feed the entire population of Gaza for a month and half, but a 28-year-old at DOGE is holding it hostage? www.reuters.com/world/us-aid...
