the contrast between the giant crowds protesting in cities all over the nation and the sad sparsely attended procession in DC of army soldiers with resting "this parade could have been an email" face is giving me life

So anyway let's talk about various risks involved with raw milk. Those risks come in a couple categories: animal health, and sanitation/contamination risks.

This also means no new respirator approvals, no more National Firefighter Registry for Cancer, no new Fire Fighter Fatality Investigation and Prevention Program requests, and gutting the Coal Workers’ Health Surveillance Program. And for what? There is not a hell hellish enough for this asshole.

It's only necessary because they refuse to move and their subscribers refuse to encourage them to move by unsubscribing and providing a reason why. Funding and platforming Nazis is never ever necessary imo. With a little collective action, no left leaning person would be paying monthly Nazi tithes.

Every media outlet, including trans ones, are missing the big picture about the bogus, Chat GPT, anonymous (SEGM) report on health care for trans people. Here's the parts that matter MOST: 1. It includes social transition as medical intervention. 1/n www.erininthemorning.com/p/fact-check...

If President Trump can wrongly deport a Maryland father to a prison in El Salvador and then defy a 9-0 Supreme Court order to facilitate bringing him home, who’s next? This threatens the rights and freedoms of everyone in the United States.

One thing I wish people understood about authoritarianism is life often looks more or less the same. Troops aren’t marching down the street every day; people go to restaurants, have their office jobs. But everyone knows that stepping out of line, even slightly, can derail your life with no recourse

Foreign Friends with Travel Plans to the U.S. for Conventions: A bit back I said you should maybe reconsider those plans. I would like to amend my prior statement. Cancel them. Cancel them now. We cannot keep you safe from our own government. Take your holiday in Spain or something.

It's as American as chattel slavery, the Trail of Tears, Japanese internment, and Indian Boarding Schools. Project 2025 really isn't relying on any other history than America's. I need y'all to tap into what has been happening here all along.

Bring back *everyone* who was sent from the U.S. to CECOT in El Salvador. *No one* should be sent there. ALL their rights were violated. ALL of them should come home.

hi, cis folks! if we *are* going to talk ACA, RFK's HHS proposed a rule to remove *all trans care* from ACA essential health benefit status. ~25mil people are insured by ACA & if 1% are trans, that's 250,000 people who'd lose access to care. that's bad! take 2 minutes to stand with trans people.🧵

It's annoying how clearly this is going to play out. They gut the FAA. Therefore, the FAA can't do its job well because it was gutted. Therefore, they say "The FAA sucks, we have to privatize it." which is what Project 2025 wants to do. They're manufacturing the crises for their end goal.

not to downplay the ugliness of this but this is the equivalent of busywork. they are giving him executive orders to sign so that it feels like he’s doing something.

This is grossly irresponsible reporting by the AP. What’s being offered is not a buyout. The deal is if you agree to resign in September you can continue working remotely until then. There is no buyout or severance.

UM ALSO. Your health insurance company gets theirs guidelines on what to cover from the CDC and the NIH. They are salivating over this. Because if there’s no guidance, they may say “well we won’t cover that b/c it’s not necessary.” It happens WAY more often than people think

Hi you don’t have to post it. And you don’t have to re-post it. And you can think about the fact that Jewish people are gonna be traumatized every single time you make us see it over and over and over and over. You can just not post it.

1. Did you know that Girl Scouts has, for a long time, accepted trans girls and nonbinary scouts? Trans kids are under attack. Every year, I make a thread of trans and nonbinary girl scouts you can get your cookies from. Lets get our cookies from them this year in solidarity!

Last night I dreamed that one of our cats had figured out how to turn a "big stretch" into a vertical "long cat" stretch and I was upset that somehow, my husband couldn't figure out how to take a picture of our 6 ft. tall cat because of "focus" or something. Also, it might not have been our cat.
