THIS IS HUGE! Researchers at Stanford University have developed a dual-antibody treatment that remains effective against ALL SARS-CoV-2 variants by targeting a less-mutable part of the virus. This breakthrough could lead to longer-lasting therapies that OUTPACE viral evolution. 🧪🧵⬇️

$32,000 is the remaining PRINCIPLE on our student loans which we have paid 3x over during the past 25 years. Especially damning is this: “If…income growth…remained equitable [since] the 1970s, median household income today would be double what it is now” The rich have robbed us my entire life.

It's Bandcamp Friday! Today we are raising funds for the @southernequality.bsky.social's Trans Youth Emergency Fund. We have a very special, limited edition shirt that will ONLY be available today: bikinikill.bandcamp.com

NEW: The Social Security Administration is cutting staff. Field offices will be affected. The same thing happened in the 80s, when 21% of field office jobs were cut. And a new research paper finds that it resulted in 80,000 eligible Americans not getting earned benefits. prospect.org/health/2025-...

i have read 3000 names 😅

Made one for the Buffalo, NY area. If you know of any other resources, PLEASE let me know and I'll update. Thank you!

A recent analysis found that when Trump imposed tariffs during his first term, companies who contributed to Republicans were more likely to be granted tariff exemptions. Trump's corporate donors won't shoulder the cost of his trade wars. It's crony capitalism at its worst.

This quote is making the rounds again, even though FOX deleted the interview. It's in my book HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT. I'll never forget: 1) the death threats I got in 2016 for posting the clip 2) the amount of effort put into removing HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT, a bestseller, from circulation.

Every faculty who supported police on campus, every one who refused to sign letters of support for their brutalized students: you laid the bricks for politicians to believe they have the authority to crush student voice. Your racism against Palestine is corroding everyone's freedoms.

hi! are you cis? did you see this? the senate wants to move the president’s anti-trans sports ban closer to being a law monday. democratic senators need to know fucking NYT opinion writers don’t speak for you & you think trans people’s civil rights *matter.* tap the quoted thread. please call.

CALL YOUR FUCKING CONGRESS PEOPLE RIGHT NOW. IT'S A SATURDAY. YOU GET TO JUST LEAVE A MESSAGE. SCRIPT I'M USING IS BELOW:

Hey! Don't forget *NOT* to use the iOS Patreon app to buy things or subscribe to memberships because the app store now has a 30% fee which either the creator is covering themselves or is increasing the price on whatever you're buying (patreon emailed me today to tell me I could choose which)

we have had evil and terrible people running things before but they have generally had some sort of idea for what they think the government should do, some vision by which it should operate these people have nothing except a desire to break it and hurt the people who work for it

This is what House Republicans voted for tonight. Another reminder that we have socialism for the rich, harsh capitalism for the rest.

This is a great summary of what's going to happen with the budget and what can be done. Bottom line: CALL YOUR REPS Read the whole thread.

The public comment period for changing passports to misgender trans people is open. Please take a moment to let them know that you do not support that change.

We're about 17% to the goal so these can be made! Please keep sharing! The preorder period ends mid March! I ship internationally!

Every dollar helps. Every share helps.

This is also the logical conclusion of decades now of slow mainstreaming of far-right talking points Islamophobia, transphobia, anti-immigration discourses were never "legitimate grievances" that deserved to be aired. Their purpose was to prepare the way for this

New: DOGE's spending has been secret. No longer. My colleagues have uncovered it. www.propublica.org/article/doge...

Let’s take a look back at what President Trump’s first month agenda has meant for working people: 🧵

Everyone deserves to have access to Covid tests. It’s bad enough that air filters and good respirators are financially out of reach for many… it’s appalling the Trump admin even considered destroying their stockpile of tests Keep up the pressure. We need better home testing, and it needs to be free

this is really fucking bad. what the fuck.

the richest man in the world decided that you don't deserve safe drinking water

The backsliding on vaccines is awful but the backsliding on basic germ theory is grim in its own way. Yes, it's "natural" for humans and pets to eat raw meat. It's also just as "natural" to die from the numerous pathogens in it. That's nature; nature is always trying to kill you and your pet.

This is not a good combination of trending topics 😬

I went inside the NIH as part of my show The G Word. I've never met people who cared more about helping others. My heart goes out to everyone whose public service was cut short by these senseless firings.

This is a great interview with @tchristianmiller.bsky.social and Patrick Rucker of Propublica. Really gets to the heart of why so many people reacted the way they did to Luigi Mangione.

I've been able to brush off most of the erasure of trans people from government websites, but this one is REALLY getting under my skin. It's just complete revisionist history. How fucking dare they Old vs. new

If you live in NY State & want something concrete to do, call Gov. Hochul's office right now & leave a message saying (as calmly as you can, so as to get your message heard) that it's in her power to stand up to Trump by firing the mayor & that you as her constituent are watching what she does next.

we are getting stories crazier than watergate every single day and no one bats an eye at them anymore. society has hypernormalized intense corruption that it feels like NOT being openly corrupt hinders you

Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who killed so many children in Samoa they ran out of child-sized coffins, has been confirmed to lead Health and Human Services. The vote was 52-48. All Dems and Mitch McConnell, whose fault this is, voted no. All other Republicans voted yes. The blood will be on their hands.

FOR OBVIOUS REASONS, PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU ARE UP TO DATE ON YOUR VACCINATIONS NOW.

I can’t even read this. The headline alone is making me sick to my stomach. I will never get over the fact that Trump got elected on the backs of the most vulnerable members of our communities. A vote for Trump was a vote for dead trans kids.

It's going to be a long four years, especially if we make ourselves insane misreading budget documents. This is a story where multiple things are true at the same time and it's a warning about how we consume information going forward gizmodo.com/the-400-mill...

Have you taken one material step towards building power and mutual aid today? If not, and you don't know where to start, this thread is full of examples! If not, but you have ongoing work, close bsky and send a message or finish a task for it! Let's do one rep every day!

i am going to put a finer point on this: executive orders are not laws. and they certainly are not royal decrees. they are interpretations of existing law for the purposes of enforcement. the fact that so many people are treating them as laws is actually driving me a bit insane.

THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION ILLEGALLY FIRED FEMA OFFICIALS AFTER ELON MUSK TOLD LIES ABOUT THEM. jfc it's not that hard!

if you like horror movies you should take your partner to see Companion and Heart Eyes this week. or go with a friend. or go by yourself. let's hear it for cool, clever, fast-paced, fun horror flicks.

once again, kathy hochul could literally oust him tonight. she has that legal right
