🚨The Florida government is going to tear down Everglades wetlands so they can build a tent camp in the swamp to fuel Trump's mass deportation operations — and they’re going to get money from Trump that Congress intended for humanitarian care to recently arrived-migrants.

Fuck the polls. Don't fucking rank Cuomo. That's it. That's the assignment. You don't even have to _like_ Mamdani, just don't rank the sex pest who is endorsed and funded by nazis & the ultra-rich, only wants this to run for pres later, and WHO DOESN'T EVEN FUCKING GO HERE!

Yes, this is valid! But also: the courts as a whole HAVE been trying to protect us. They've made stupendous rulings. But they, too, are up against SCOTUS. They've bought us five months so far, a window in which serious opposition has really begun to rise. As citizens, we now have to move faster.

ICE was created in 2003 with the help of mass marketing exploiting people's fears and prejudices, and with overwhelming support from both parties. A vocal minority predicted correctly that ICE would become an instrument of mass terror against all of us. Trans people are warning us similarly today.

I am incensed. This is all so heartbreaking and despicable. The Iranian people do not deserve this violence. We do not deserve this governance. The world does not deserve this. These outrages must end.

I am begging people not to look to the NYT for coverage of what's happening. The BBC, Le Monde, Ajazeera and others will have more truthful coverage.

I get the sentiment but 2 things: 1. It’s still VERY MUCH “during COVID” and 2. We need to stop equating wearing respirators/medical masks to prevent the spread of disease and assholes wearing gators while they do fascism.

In case you can't tell what just happened, JK Rowling instructed her followers to take photos of anyone in a women's restroom who doesn't match their idea of Western feminine beauty standards. Short hair? Thick cheekbones/jaw? Too tall or broad-shouldered? You're now "a man" and will be harassed.

As we all have been saying for ages this is the only way a bathroom bill can work: If one of JK Rowling's hate-filled cultists thinks you or your mum doesn't look sufficiently feminine then they will post your photos online and try to ruin your life. They will target trans and cis people alike.

MIT just pubbed a study on ChatGPT users. “Brain scans revealed neural connection collapse... a 47% reduction in brain connectivity. When researchers forced ChatGPT users to write w/o AI, they performed worse than people who never used AI at all. It's not just dependency. It's cognitive atrophy.”

RFK Jr talks like a new age health guru, but most of his views are garden-variety hateful reactionary. He wants people with HIV to die as punishment. Same thread runs though his positions on Medicaid, vaccines, opioid treatment, psychiatric meds, etc: you deserve to suffer, it's God's will.

Phasing out NIH’s HIV clinical guidelines is flat-out immoral and unethical. These guidelines drive early diagnosis, ART initiation, and viral suppression—82% linked to care within 30 days, 69% virally suppressed by 6 months. Removing them puts millions of lives at risk. wapo.st/3FQovhf

taps mic Hi, there! I’ve lived all over the country, wet, dry, hot, cold, and high humidity will not only kill your ass dead faster than anything else, it will suuuuuck the entire time you’re dying. Your low resting heart rate won’t do shit when your sweat is a marinade instead of a coolant.

I represented workers who suffered excruciatingly and died from asbestosis and mesothelioma, including school janitors who contracted it from working in schools that had asbestos in the ceilings. This is yet another level of cruel and deliberate consignment of workers to suffering and death.

I’d like to again remind people that it is a bad idea to have face Or thumbprint as the unlock method for your phone. Law enforcement can force you to open your locked device Passcode is still constitutionally protected. Never assume you’ll have time to press more than one time to lock your phone

It's clear that Substack would like to become a monopoly for writing online, the way that other centralized platforms have become monopolies for their own media. And it's clear that if they succeed, it's going to have catastrophic results for writers.

You can exactly simulate the effect of using chatgpt on the human brain, with no technology needed at all, simply by looking at billionaires and CEOs. They do no work, they don't think, they don't learn, they encounter zero problems they themselves must think of a solution. It's all outsourced.

In an absolutely barbaric move, the Trump administration is officially cutting off specialized 988 suicide prevention support for LGBTQ+ youth. This is murder. From NPR: "SAMHSA announced Tuesday it was ending these specialized services for LGBTQ+ youth on July 17."
