Find a local #nokings protest for tomorrow here: www.nokings.org And please, for the love of god, DON'T fill out the RSVP form. WHY do protests do this?! (I know they're trying to figure out crowd numbers and all, but let's not be stupid and provide the fascists with an easy list to subpoena)

This is also the purpose of many protests Shutting down streets makes people mad, but it also--and this is important--makes them NOTICE I've helped shut down major highways, including I-64, one of the biggest east-west highways in the US. Drivers weren't thrilled, but we made headlines.

I was a medic at the Santa Ana protests in OC today. I watched police fire tear gas, flash bangs, & rubber bullets into crowds of men, women, & children. Other medics and I were clearly marked with red crosses, and the police were targeting us. One of the most fucked up things I’ve ever seen.

Here's your morning dose of cuteness. These fox kits had so much energy as they ripped around the hillside just before bedtime. For mom's sake, I hope they tuckered themselves out! #wildlife #foxes

Good morning! On this day when the New York Times begins its podcast series on trans healthcare for kids, I wrote an open letter to my science journalism colleagues who work against trans healthcare in the name of our shared profession: galileospendulum.org/2025/06/05/o... Please read and share.

As a former therapist and educator of future therapists: The best that therapy can do for folks with external factors out of their control is to help them survive with as little harm as possible. Not thrive. Not heal. Just survive. It's better than the alternative, but it's not a solution.

I have such a hard time believing all the reports of Trump voters regretting their votes, etc. They knew what they were voting for. They wanted it. They'll vote for this again in a heartbeat. They're only upset because it makes them look bad now. Nobody wants their crocodile tears now.

Being trans and disabled in America feels like everyone leaving you behind to wait in the designated mobility-impaired rescue area at the top of the stairs in a burning building while the fire department--who don't know about the designated rescue area--tries to negotiate with the flames

Musk's chainsaw to programs that support impoverished folks has a body count. Many thanks to my BU colleague @brookeenichols.bsky.social for developing the Impact Counter, an incredible tool that illustrates the invisible violence of policy. This is real science. 103 deaths per HOUR= 2472/day

I don't know who needs to hear this, but doing ketamine, shrooms, and ecstacy on a daily basis while wielding immense political power and a security clearance is bad on multiple levels, and saying so doesn't stigmatize reasonable uses of these drugs or get Musk off the hook for his behavior.
