Two babies have died from whooping cough in Kentucky. Neither they nor their parents had been vaccinated. The current whooping cough outbreak in the U.S. hasn’t grabbed the media spotlight as much as measles has, but it’s important to update your vaccination if you’re going to be around babies.

Drilling down UNDER THE HOOD of the jobs numbers, what's there is NOT as good as people think: A million more people than last month flowed OUT of the labor force. NOT laid off. NOT unemployed. Just STOPPED participating in the work force. Guess who those folks likely are. IMMIGRANTS. #EconSky

“Donald Trump isn’t a fascist,” he’s just destroying the rule of law, kidnapping and disappearing brown people, terrorizing our cities, funding foreign gulags, weaponizing the government against his political enemies, and planning a military parade in the capital for his birthday party. Nazi vibes.

Pete Hesgeth — who wants to rename the Navy ship that honors Medgar Evers, a WWII veteran who landed on Omaha Beach — is using that same beach for a photo op in which he promises we will “never forget” the veterans there. What an unbelievable asshole.

ICE is the January 6 insurrectionists all over again. Only instead of attacking law enforcement, they are pretending to *be* law enforcement. And instead of just terrorizing at the Capitol, they are doing it EVERYWHERE.

We're being conditioned to accept law enforcement in camo and body armor and helmets so that, when active-duty military is inevitably deployed domestically, we'll accept that as well.

I wrote about the contrived, retconned allegations against Abrego Garcia in April. There is absolutely no reason to think that the government is charging him based on anything other than the administration trying to save face. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

This graphic is a powerful and succinct summary of the ongoing structural inequities women face globally. It reminds us that feminism isn’t about “special treatment,” it’s about correcting systemic imbalances that continue to deprive women of economic power, recognition, and basic fairness.👇

“It’s impossible to get him back from El Salvador until we manufacture a criminal charge” is a hell of an argument

I'm old enough to remember when the sick fucks in the Trump administration promised that Kilmar Abrego Garcia would "never return" to the US. Now that that didn't work, they are going to prosecute him for fake crimes when we all know the real criminals are running the show.

While we are celebrating the strength, love, compassion, and cohesiveness of our LGBTQ+ community, let’s also remember all those who came before us and paid the price to make it possible to live openly.

Don't let these men and their pissing match distract from the fact Republicans are still trying to rip away healthcare and food from actual children.

If you think saying we worked with Stalin to defeat Hitler is good justification for welcoming Elon into the Democratic Party then you were asleep or not born for the Cold War that lasted from 1945 until 1991 including multiple hot wars. Stop simping for people who are rotten but also hate Trump.

That any of us have to care about the messy breakup of these two massive narcissists — and that they both individually wield such massive power — is an indictment of our political system and further proves the poisonous influence of Big Money on our democracy.

Can we please stop acting like any of this has anything to do with antisemitism? They’re attacking institutions of higher education because that’s what autocrats do. Let’s not pretend otherwise.

must be incredibly frustrating and disheartening to have federal funding that was promised to you for important work suddenly and arbitrarily ripped away
