Senator Sheehy, Iran didn’t cease to be a democracy when Americans were taken hostage. That happened in 1953, when the U.S. helped overthrow Iran’s democratically elected government. History matters.

You want to talk about government efficiency? Every $1 spent on childhood immunizations in the US returns a savings of $11, thanks to preventing illnesses, and saving millions of lives.

Cancer vaccines will be a big part of the future of immunotherapy. A new, super review @thelancet.com www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

Adriana Smith did not give birth to a baby. She was used as an incubator, cut open, and a baby was taken out of her lifeless body. A Black woman was used as a science experiment.

In February alone, the national suicide hotline's program for LGBTQ youth—who are four times more likely to attempt suicide than their peers—received an average of 2,100 contacts per day. Now the Trump administration is shuttering this critical resource.

I’m seeing a lot of people posting about how sick they are with a “summer flu” Main complaints? Fatigue, extremely sore throat, fever and loss of smell. It’s Covid. The Nimbus variant is here & appears to be more transmissible. It’s time to wear a respirator, clean the air & stay home when sick!

Like I said *5 days ago* when U.S. Senator Alex Padilla was forcibly detained and arrested by this regime: Arresting politicians is a key component of fascism This time it was current Comptroller and NYC Mayoral Candidate Brad Lander for asking for a warrant

My advice to trans people, get out while you can. It won't get better within at least two decades and most likely will only get worse. Your job is solely to survive. nonprofitquarterly.org/trans-refuge...

NOTE TO MY FELLOW AMERICANS: Regime change starts at home.

Inside the scrappy network of volunteers protecting their neighbors from ICE

Tonight, I'll go home and sleep in my bed. I have a lawyer, I'll get due process. But Edgardo, whose arm was ripped from mine by ICE agents, has none of those things. That's why I'll keep coming back to court, week after week, to make sure that people's rights are protected.

This isn't about protecting children. It's about policing a gender system that puts everyone in a pink box or a blue one, that gives people higher social value if they're pinker or bluer than their box-mates, and that puts the whole pink box below the blue.

258 million acres of the people’s land to be sold to the richest.

New in PN: Judge rules that anti-woke is just racism “'I’ve never seen a record where racial discrimination was so palpable,' Judge Young fumed. 'I’ve sat on this bench now for 40 years. I’ve never seen government racial discrimination like this.' *More of this, please*"

‘Razor Blade Throat’ Symptoms As ‘Nimbus’ COVID-19 Variant Spreads Here's my coverage for @forbes.com 🛟 🧪 😷 #AcademicSky #MedSky #episky🩺 #HiSciSky Public Health #science www.forbes.com/sites/brucel...

Zohran Mamdani, who recently cross-endorsed with Lander, called for the comptroller’s immediate release. “This is fascism and all New Yorkers must speak in one voice,” said Mamdani.

Secret police forces typically meet 5 criteria: targeting political opponents & dissidents answer directly to dictator the identity of members / operations are secret surveillance operations arbitrary searches, arrests, interrogations, detentions, disappearances & torture. So yeah: ICE= Gestapo

The next time someone says "Not everything's about you" ask yourself the last time they allowed ANYTHING to be about you. If you can't think of a single time... it's a tactic to shut you up and make everything about them.

Viewing disability and sickness as punishment to people we don't like is a hallmark of eugenics.

It is so outrageously ableist to say we should ban masks & stop people from protecting their health & the health of those around you. COVID is still spreading. People are still dying from COVID. Millions of people are struggling with #LongCOVID. And COVID is just one of many reasons to mask

The Minnesota shooter apparently used data broker websites to find the home addresses of the people he shot and murdered. Congress has had years to do something about data brokers and they've sided with the tech lobby over and over again. Their inaction is deadly.

The most frustrating aspect of the UCP’s decision to no longer fund Covid vaccines is that it will most affect the working poor. The heroes of Covid who worked fast food, delivered groceries, cleaned public spaces & kept us all going. #ableg

No Kings, only Queen Latifah

Me too. I am literally the ONE generation of women who had full reproductive age bodily autonomy - after Roe and before Dobbs. One. Only ONE generation of American women had these rights. Think about that.

New Yorkers scream out each officer’s lawsuits against them for excessive force and more upon their city, right to their faces while protesting.

It should not be lost on anyone that Minnesota Rep Melissa Hortman, who was shot to death in her home last night by an assassin, was a gun safety advocate who worked tirelessly to protect her constituents from gun violence.

Dunno. Seems relevant

They launched a coup, suffered no consequences for it, won back power, and have used the power to pardon everyone involved while remaking the country through violence and intimidation. It’s just ridiculous to talk about the political violence of yelling at ICE agents within that context.

Since that fateful November day, I, along with millions of others, knew it was all wrong. The question was how? How did they do it? How do all the puzzle pieces fit together. Here it is. Read it, share it with everyone, and press the media. Let’s make this the beginning of their end. #trumplost

"Sheriff has history of cop-like behavior"

Disability accommodations don't hurt or incovenience anyone. They usually make access better for everyone. This is a huge mistake and they'll have to retrofit it later if they don't build it now.

I know there's a lot going on, but the Secretary of Homeland Security declaring that federal troops are in California and Los Angeles to "liberate" the state and city from its duly-elected leaders really is a fourteen-alarm fire.

Last night, Capitol Police arrested roughly 60 veterans and their family members outside the U.S. Capitol. The group had gathered to hold a peaceful sit-in on the Capitol steps, but police intentionally set up a barrier of bike racks to prevent them from demonstrating.

It has been a public health failure that the public does not realize how much organ damage COVID infection can cause to things that aren’t your lungs (or throat or nose or taste buds)

Covid vaccination protects against severe kidney damage, study suggests A new study finds that patients hospitalized for Covid were less likely to suffer severe kidney damage if they were vaccinated.

I grew up two towns away from Lynn. It's a historic destination for immigrants and refugees. Walking along the promenade by the seashore, you can hear Spanish, Russian, Haitian Creole, and more. Lynn's immigrant communities are its economic engine. Justice for Alejandro Reyes.

I don’t feel bad that National Guard are sleeping on the floor with no access to bathrooms. we have testimony from children who were detained by ICE that they had to sleep on concrete floors, didn’t have access to bathrooms and were fed crackers for meals.

ICE targets immigrants. RFK Jr targets the disabled, elderly & vulnerable. The whole regime targets marginalized people, those living in poverty and LGBTQ+ individuals. They’re targeting everyone who they’ve deemed “less than”. Everyone is expendable under fascism. It comes for all eventually.

A 9-year-old from Torrance. Alone in detention—being sent to Honduras. SEIU California President David Huerta—injured and detained. This is cruelty. I’m calling for their release now. #NichelleHenderson #davidhuerta #freedavidendraids #FreeHuertaNow #FreeMartirNow

I don't want to hear "Happy Pride" from these corporations. I want to hear, "We have fixed all the homophobic & transphobic garbage happening; everyone is safe now and healthcare is free. And also all the queer shows you want to watch on other streaming platforms are now available to you."

As an epidemiologist I feel like I cant breathe. I genuinely cant breathe having to act normal. Like nothing is happening. Like people arent going to die because a cult is in charge of the country. They are a cult. Republicans are a fascist death cult. Firing ALL cancer doctors & vaccine specialists

"Post-COVID psychiatric complications persist up to 24 months after infection and are associated with impairment related to COVID symptoms and multiple organ system complications, highlighting the substantial long-term health burden for individuals." www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

MY GOD. How are these legal?? “A study published in 2017 in the BMJ found that 3% of people hit by rubber bullets died of the injury. Fifteen percent of the 1,984 people studied were permanently injured by the rubber bullets.” www.pbs.org/newshour/hea...
