I think it would make a big difference in our health if we banned Pharma ads from America like the rest of the world does.

I truly think people don’t realize how many universities and colleges — especially public ones — may shut down if restrictions on and withholding of federal funding persists for even one presidency We are facing the demolition of American higher education

I don’t understand how there’s any debate about whether to characterize them as Nazis when they’re out here sieg heiling. It’s an absolute failure of messaging not to name and condemn this behavior, and build a narrative around it.

We get law degrees to be lawyers, hope that helps

In 2010, the Supreme Court paved the way for unlimited spending in U.S. elections. In a possibly related story, the richest man in the world is basically the president now ballsandstrikes.org/law-politics...

NEW: Pregnancy became far more dangerous in Texas after the state banned abortion, according to ProPublica’s first-of-its-kind analysis, which found the sepsis rate for women hospitalized as they miscarried in the 2nd trimester shot up by more than 50%. https://propub.li/43487Tj

okay, it’s time for me to finally weigh in: it’s probably a bad sign that guys are just doing sieg heils in public again

Steve Bannon giving a Nazi salute at one of the biggest conservative events in our country should be career ending. Instead, conservatives are defending and even praising him. Do not ignore this. This is how fascism takes hold. Do not let them gaslight you into ignoring the signs.

Williams v. Reed. By a 5-4 vote, SCOTUS reaffirms cases holding that litigants are not required to exhaust civil rights claims before filing Section 1983 actions. (At least where it's a state exhaustion requirement that would effectively immunize officials.) www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

“Systemic” has also been “forbidden” in grant applications by the “free speech” warriors.

I know there’s a lot right now but I just can’t believe they fired the parks people

Which will open them to the inevitable chud caravans crashing campsites with sewage leaking RVs, taking offroad vehicles on non-motorized trails, and general targeted destruction of protected lands. We need to organize *right now* with tribes and local communities to prevent this.

I keep seeing this. Guys, their literal job is to figure out what to do. They are not helpless even if they are not the majority. I really hope we can stop treating some of the most powerful people in the world as helpless and without sentience.

This is why you fight these cowards. The moment you stand up to them, they crumble. Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights. He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

Even the most disturbing RFK Jr. headline always manages to have a detail inside creepier than you could have imagined. I’m sorry, did you just say Black kids should have a chance to get “re-parented”???? Gift link wapo.st/4hW2xGI

1/29: First plane crash in 16 years in DC 1/31: Crash in Philly 2/5: Delta flight struck in Seattle 2/6: Flight wrecks in Alaska 2/10: Crash in Scottsdale 2/12: Military jet crashes in San Diego 2/16: Crash in Covington, GA 7 crashes since the WH congratulated itself for “restoring aviation safety”

We can't keep mobilizing for moments. We have to mobilize to sustain movements.

Four top New York City officials are expected to resign in the coming days, after the outgoing U.S. attorney for Manhattan accused the mayor of trading cooperation with President Trump’s mass deportation agenda for a dismissal of his criminal indictment, people with knowledge of their plans said.

“The Trump administration has begun firing several hundred Federal Aviation Administration employees, upending staff on a busy air travel weekend and just weeks after a January fatal mid-air collision at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport.” apnews.com/article/doge...

The constitution has been thrown in the gutter and I'm still getting fundraising emails from Democrats that are written in the "voice" of my elected representative's dog.

I'm so profoundly grateful to the people who are just plugging away and fighting back in so many different kinds of ways. Bless you.

looking back, AOL had it right. 30 hours of internet per month was the right amount.

If your argument is "sure, a terrible modern event has a parallel in the 1920s and 30s but don't worry we turned out just fine", might I suggest reading about the 1940s.

Republicans are entirely at fault. It would've been better had none of them won their elections. But that doesn't excuse Democrats from failing to use the same parliamentary maneuvers Republicans have used for decades to hinder Democratic majorities. If we have to shame them into it, so be it.

🧵 THREAD: In the second Trump administration, we’re devoting a significant part of our staff to detailing dramatic changes in the role of the federal government in the lives of Americans. Here are some of the issues we’re watching — and how you can inform our work.

The White House blocked an AP reporter from the Oval Office after demanding the news agency to refer to the Gulf of Mexico as the "Gulf of America."

The University of Washington and Washington state are joining nearly two dozen states in suing the federal government over a change in funding from the National Institutes of Health.

“For whatever reason, people of color have a higher incidence of maternal mortality."

Today, we at Google have a new product: what if you could could ask an app a question? Oh, we do that already? Well, what if we were a little bit worse at it? What if we also sometimes gave you egregiously wrong information? And what if it cost a billion dollars? Still not interested? It's mandatory

Grateful for the small things -- like a weekend without a planned Link service disruption.
