If you’re an American should watch the Anthony Bourdain Parts Unknown ep on Iran. A deeply humanizing look at a country full of people just like you and me. I watched it after Anthony died and it moved in ways that are hard to relay. I also immediately ran out to try kabob koobideh and tahdig.

These stomach-churning videos are hard to watch, but the more people who know what is happening in the U.S., the better.

One month apart.

Washington Post: 'His custom cancer therapy is in an NIH freezer. He may not get it in time.' 'How a metastatic cancer patient became collateral damage in federal workforce cuts.' “I’m petrified. I have to do something..my cancer is on the move" www.washingtonpost.com/science/2025...

After abandoning every mitigation and infecting kids repeatedly, our media wants to know: why do so many children have Long COVID? My latest looks at the newest research, the comforting lies that just won't die, and how we got here: www.thegauntlet.news/p/long-covid...

San Diego SHOWED UP! I’ve been here for 30 years and have NEVER seen anything like this! #NOKINGS

In a time of fear & threats, Seattle’s incoming Police Chief Shon Barnes just reminded us what real courage looks like. A Marine, a leader, & a defender of the Constitution—he stood up for our right to protest and pledged to keep his city safe, not silent. This is what public service should be.🇺🇸❤️

This is outrageous. Trump is preparing to send Ukrainians and other European allies to Guantanamo 🤬 Call Congress please!! www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

By now, we've all seen the video of Senator Alex Padilla (D-CA) being forcibly removed and handcuffed for asking a question during Kristi Noem's press conference. But what Noem said just moments before the video was taken is "classic authoritarian red-baiting," points out @davidcorn.bsky.social.

The Nassau County mask ban makes masking (even N95s) a criminal offence punishable by 6 months in jail and/or a $1000 fine There’s technically a medical exemption, but it’s up to police to determine who’s sick enough to mask If you’re protesting in this county & masking for health, contact Julia!

This is good advice!

Uber doesn't give its delivery or ride share drivers health insurance. Uber workers count on federal health care programs that will be cut under the Republican bill.

Greta Thunberg, arriving back in Europe after her abduction by Israel in international waters, explains in 40 seconds why western governments are colluding in genocide:

Another good recap🧵of #COVID & #LongCovid issues/damage 👇

New from my investigators: Trump’s IRS nominee Billy Long appears to be implicated in court documents related to a major bribery scheme centered in his old Congressional district. The White House and FBI either didn’t bother looking into it, or they’re covering it up.

We feed you. They hunt us.

Navarro: I'm very happy to see somebody that isn't afraid to speak up and call an authoritarian an authoritarian. And if it's Newsom, as a result of what's happening in California now, I welcome it because I have been so thirsty for somebody that is not cowardly

May the anti-ICE movement continue to spread nationwide! This is the Los Angeles spirit your news broadcast isn’t showing…

Trump and DOGE are already weaponizing Americans' most personal information to target groups and individuals that they don't like. Apparently airlines are helping them do it. My team and I have already contacted these airlines to get answers and will keep you updated.

Imagine a world where millions lose healthcare, ERs are overwhelmed, and rural hospitals close. That’s the danger of cutting Medicaid. It’s a perilous gamble. Call your Senators: (202) 224-3121 - Save Medicaid!

You know what to do…

🚨 BREAKING 🚨 A massive crowd is gathering in DC demanding that SEIU CA President David Huerta be freed. #FreeDavidEndRaids Find your event here: bit.ly/FreeDavidEnd... PASS IT ON!

from today's post, about Donny Convict's bloodthirsty spite-fueled police-state clusterfuck in Los Angeles. please read the whole thing, thanks! link is here: bit.ly/43AfmSZ (and as always, there's a longer excerpt in the alt text)

Even if you hadn’t been masking in public lately, now’s good time to normalize everyone wearing masks again for all sorts of reasons. Justify it anyway you like- covid, anti gov’t surveillance, bad air quality from wildfires, pick what works for you, just, you know, wear a mask please & thank you

“What happened to me is not about me; This is about something much bigger,” @seiuca.bsky.social President David Huerta said. “This is about how we as a community stand together and resist the injustice that’s happening.”

BREAKING: LAPD didn’t just “detain” someone. They surrounded him, beat him, and jumped him — like a gang. On camera. On horses. While he screamed for help. Unarmed. Cornered. Alone. If that’s not state violence, what the fuck is?

This is the way to stand up to these bullies! Respect ✊

This is very helpful, really excellent.

Watch out for right-wing provocateurs provoking violence to cause a right-wing media outrage against the legitimate protestors. This is a playbook they have used before.

Every accusation is a confession

#ProudBlue #Voices4Victory Rep. Mike Collins says Republicans’ next goal is to kick seniors off Social Security. Americans shouldn’t have to “Get off of Social Security & get back into the workforce.”

Fake emergencies to justify crackdowns-not very original

To be clear: Trump is dispatching the troops in response to protests *the Los Angeles Police Department* has described as peaceful

Correct. This should be *THE* national story right now.

California representatives did a check in where migrants were being detained. They found no beds, no food and no water. Children were among the detained.

Perfect.

"My career in public health and vaccinology started with a deep-seated desire to help the most vulnerable members of our population, and that is not something I am able to continue doing in this role."

The analysis by the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office also found that the version of the bill passed by the House last month would lead to nearly 11 million people going uninsured.

NYT, Page One: “Within hours, he had an email from China, offering to move his lab to ‘any city, any university I want,’ he said, with a guarantee of funding for the next 20 years.” @nytimes.com

RFK Jr is wrong again—"No matter what the politics say, the science is the science”. All current evidence on the safety and efficacy of getting a COVID vaccine in pregnancy all points the same way: the shot is important for maternal and fetal health. www.npr.org/sections/sho...

Please listen to the UN General Secretary.

It's not a fun read, but it's an important read. DHS is out of control and must be stopped. Falsehoods continue to be presented as facts. Trump doesn't know what's going on because he doesn't read. heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/june-1-2025 (h/t @hcrichardson.bsky.social )

Is this why we’ve been seeing so many masked, unidentified ICE agents? As of May 29, 2025, ICE has 635 active agreements in 40 states—deputizing local cops to act as ICE. DEMS: Hold hearings. Sanctioned or not, we need answers. ☎️ Call your Senators and Reps now: (202) 224-3121

In five years after removing fluoride from the water, 8% more U.S. children ages 0-19 would get cavities, affecting 25.4 million additional teeth and costing the country around $9.8 billion. www.statnews.com/2025/05/30/f...
