RFK Jr. is now taking COVID19 vaccines away from people who are pregnant. Infection during pregnancy increases the risk severe disease and potentially preterm birth. The CDC itself lists pregnancy as a condition that puts people at risk for severe disease. The science doesn’t support this.

Donald Trump Freezes All New Student Visa Interviews: Report https://twp.ai/4imxqt

DONALD TRUMP IS IN MENTAL DECLINE. DONALD TRUMP IS IN MENTAL DECLINE. DONALD TRUMP IS IN MENTAL DECLINE. DONALD TRUMP IS IN MENTAL DECLINE. DONALD TRUMP IS IN MENTAL DECLINE. DONALD TRUMP IS IN MENTAL DECLINE. DONALD TRUMP IS IN MENTAL DECLINE. DONALD TRUMP IS IN MENTAL DECLINE.

On May 1, 1865, in Charleston, South Carolina, a large group of recently freed Black Americans organized a ceremony to honor the fallen Union soldiers, many of whom had been imprisoned in a Confederate prison camp in the city. This event is widely considered to be the origin of Memorial Day.

I’ll say this and then I’m gonna step back b/c 2026 IS THE ONLY NATIONAL ELECTION THAT’S IMPORTANT NOW. No Dem presidential candidate wins w/o high Black turnout & vote. So stop making it like Black voters are expendable or that you can serve up any candidate chosen by Pelosi, Clooney or MSM & win.

The best example of the blurring of state & vigilante violence is the masked maybe-uniformed-maybe-not “ICE” officers. Are they ICE? Doesn’t seem to matter. It’s treated as lawful. Please recognize this threat for what it is.

I hadn’t had a paint brush in my hands for 20 years I’d been focused on overcoming some challenges and then Carving my Images into Plexiglass. So when I chose to start painting again in 2022 I of course went BIG! 11’ x 30’ “A Mythical  American Adventure A Galactic Commute/A Subterranean Excursion

“Ghosts in the Machine (Winter)” Hand Carved Plexiglass 84” x 240” 2014 Some people ride the subway. This Odyssey became a series of plexiglass shadow pieces — the lines carved are basically invisible within the plexiglass surface, their shadows, their memories, are cast upon the wall behind them.

Fed Chair Powell graduation remarks to Princeton nod toward our current predicament: "Look around you. I urge you to take none of this for granted. When you look back in 50 years, you will want to know that you have done whatever it takes to preserve and strengthen our democracy."

This is exactly how fast Trump went from violating one immigrant's rights to violating American citizens' rights. It did not take long.

This. Needs. Wider. Circulation.

"This is what we were voting for!" From a friend in academia: >>I was with a public health professor from [major university] last weekend and he said that NIH is now euthanizing whole cohorts of animals from animal studies because there is nobody around to feed them<< Great work.

I want to emphasize that this is 18,000 avoidable deaths per year *of Medicare enrollees.* They aren't in CBO's "uninsured" count — they're older people and folks with disabilities on Medicare who won't get extra financial help because of a proposed moratorium on a regulation.

In my worst nightmares the teenagers at DOGE take over the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and, yup, here we are.

Happy Saturday 🌞......

The torrent of horrific news can be overwhelming Yesterday it was the House snatching food from kid’s mouths to give billionaires a tax break Today Trump attacked Harvard and fired half the NSC Who knows what tomorrow will bring Please-take care of each other We can get through this Together

Look at the take for the top 0.1% (those making above $4.3M/yr). Then look at the take for the rest of Americans. This bill is a heist.

Harvard correctly understands that it’s in a fight for its life and there is no appeasement that will save it. I wish a lot more institutions understood this.

Look at all this affirmative action!

It’s crucial to keep emphasizing that these EOs were lawless. There was never a plausible argument they were constitutional. This administration has nothing but contempt for the constitution and the rule of law.

Republicans are rejecting reality while embracing destruction—just look at the House budget megabill. Read the latest from @jilldlawrence.bsky.social

Appeal from colleagues at Harvard: "...we also call upon our fellow institutions of higher education in the United States to declare their willingness to facilitate the immediate co-enrollment of Harvard’s international students., including formal acceptance of transfer for immigration purposes."

A VERY important point -- this bill is not final, not at all. It will now go to the Senate. If the Senate makes changes to the bill (they likely will), it will go back to the House for another vote. The House passed it last night with ONE VOTE. We can stop this. We have to.

'Call this what it is—theft': Republicans approve largest Medicaid, SNAP cuts in US history https://twp.ai/4impFl

House Republicans are apparently trying to pass the bill tonight at like 5:30am Without knowing: how many people lose health insurance, how many people lose food assistance, how many Americans come out ahead/behind, which types of Americans come out ahead/behind, or even what the bill costs.
