So honestly I think a lot of the dialogue about a horrible person having an allergic reaction is ableist. I'm also very familiar with how angry people get at being told that attacking terrible people through their health conditions is ableist. And I'm even very familiar with why that is.

It’s been over 2 years since most of you got a shot… and you’re still out here rawdogging shared air with a neuroinvasive, immune-evasive virus—in the middle of the 11th wave. Hate to say it, but it’s the 11th hour to avoid permanent disability.

What is common knowledge in your field, but shocks outsiders? You absolutely can lie via data & math & everything about how you present data is an argument for how to interpret/understand it Everything we know is founded on best guesses & analogies All technoscience is enmeshed with human values

A little Aussie #flu update with two new graphs to try and make trends a bit simpler to see. First, I've added 5,480 notifications since June 15, streamlined the graph by removing all years except 2019-2025 (so far) and compressed it horizontally to more clearly display the rising case numbers.

It's pretty obvious that a lot of US mainstream media either doesn't recognise authoritarianism or doesn't want to call it out. Either way, it's an excellent way to destroy trust in your institution.

We’re announcing new legislation — the No Secret Police Act (SB 627) — to ban local/state/federal law enforcement, w/ some exceptions, from covering their faces when interacting w/ the public & require them to wear identifying info. The secret police behavior we’re seeing destroys trust & must end🧵

Neighbors tell me 6 construction workers were detained in an ICE raid at a Kenner construction site on Loyola Drive. ICE has not verified any details with me just yet. This comes after the Trump Administration suggested a pause on ICE raids on work sites.

A judge comes down HARD on "arbitrary" Trump administration directives that cancelled funding for a large number of NIH projects. He angrily noted "discrimination" against women's and LGTBQ+ health research. Read this entire thread, it's 🔥🔥🔥.

Valedictorian told to stay home after making pro-Palestinian remarks in grad speech “Elizabeth Yao was told the school was considering 'further disciplinary action'” As the proud mother of a 2025 grad, I am disturbed that acknowledging the deaths of 17,000 children is a controversial stance

There's a passage about a particular judge in Sinclair's "It Can't Happen Here" where they describe him as "the perfect gentleman fascist" who went to Harvard and then Columbia for law and I can't help but think about how we are drowning in men like that right now.

The top .05% evade $120B in taxes, and employers steal $50B in wages from workers — each year. All other property theft totals $14B per year, with immigrants responsible for only a tiny fraction of that. CEOs & billionaires will always be a bigger threat to you than immigrants.

Some costs should be born by the state via the taxpayer. Among them: -public education -road upkeep -firefighting -easy public health measures that prevent enormous downstream public costs and individual suffering, i.e. VACCINES Low income should not be a barrier to self care

Perhaps this is because we as a society dismissed sending bomb threats to children's hospitals who offer care for trans youth as normal and we excused decades of anti-abortion violence as just the cost of doing business as usual in American politics. www.startribune.com/suspect-show...

Conservative protests are always treated as an organic cry of anger that manifests the distress of the unjustly ignored American heartland; protests from the center-left are always written off as noise from inside the bubble.

Based on crowd-sourced records of No Kings Day event turnout, and extrapolating for the cities where we don't have data yet, it looks like roughly 4-6 million people protested Trump across the U.S. yesterday. That's nearly 2% of the U.S. pop! Mobilized anti-Trump resistance is exceeding 2017 levels
