Trump co-plotted the current Israeli war in Iran with Netanyahu. I’m currently furiously writing up the story. I hope to have it out in 24 hours—as I doubt there’s much more time before the US enters the war to take out Fordo. Stay tuned. If I can, this’ll be out by 10PM ET Tuesday.

A “shift” never happened. A chaotic raid at a worksite and a warrantless sweep in our communities have the same outcome. Bullshit rhetoric aside, they’re hunting us down while we’re trying to feed you. Who’s actually in charge?

In PA we have a right to clean air and clean water. We have an opportunity to protect these rights by calling on the PA DEP to deny Alterra Energy's permit application for a proposed plastics-burning plant in Luzerne County. Learn more: buff.ly/kHdEyHF @momscleanairforce

A leader of the MN House Democrats is murdered by a Republican pro-life activist. Rather than condemning political murder of his opponents, Elon Musk spreads the conspiracy theory that it was done by Democrats. Journalists don’t need to use any social media site. But they really shouldn’t use X.

Republicans claim that gender affirming care causes “irreversible psychological damage.” You know what ACTUALLY causes “irreversible psychological damage” to kids? Cutting $300 billion from nutrition assistance programs and ripping immigrant kids away from their parents.

I submitted a proposal for a medical conference presentation on measles, diphtheria, and similar vaccine preventable diseases and it got accepted. I was warned to “not get political”. We’re far past that and I’ll be sure to offend any anti-vax attendees with some blunt messages.

“Mr. Trump, himself the target of two assassination attempts, has normalized conduct we once thought of as being confined to developing countries with unstable forms of government,” writes Barbara McQuade.

It’s really bad that most mainstream media continues to deny the fact that a lot of the American right have been ideologically captured with totally bonkers conspiracies paired with violent gun fetishization and fantasies about killing government officials...9 years after Pizzagate

One of the most exciting ideas in the world is a future where we all have a place to live and grow old with our lovers and loved ones. That's what green social housing is all about. It's so cool to read about how it already exists, and @juliaradio.bsky.social dove into the details with friends.

Masks are under serious threat at being banned widely due to politicization. This would be a public health disaster. If you are only wearing a mask at protests, please consider also wearing them elsewhere. The more people mask, the more we normalize masks and protect them against bans.

This is downtown Santa Barbara right now. The No Kings protest stretches for over a mile along the water. The cars who drive by are all honking in support. Probably the biggest protest this community has ever seen.
