Today I lost an NIH grant training clinicians to do research about intimate partner violence with perinatal women. More women are murdered in the perinatal period than die of obstetric complications. I didn't just lose a grant. We lost an entire cohort of people building careers to prevent that.

Colorado…

The ABA is concerned by the U.S. government's cutoff of legal services for unaccompanied children. Read the full statement here: www.americanbar.org/news/abanews...

Behaviores Report: 100% Goode!

I listened to some episodes of Jon Bernthal's podcast a few years ago and he really gets what it means to promote healthy masculinity. Protecting people because it's what is right. He's got a good moral compass. youtu.be/ObHeLQJdUUc?...

It's always wrong to vandalize personal property and that certainly includes Teslas, and also: your government is actively disappearing innocent people without due process, so, you know, that second one is taking up my empathetic bandwidth at the moment.

Something that is breaking through: my mother-in-law lives off social security and she is actively worrying about how to pay her bills if the government stops paying her back the money she paid in.

It was great to catch up with Chelsea Manning. Chelsea paid an enormous price for exposing US war crimes to the world — and continues to speak out against state surveillance and defend the human rights of others. She is proof that acts of courage can change the world.

Has to be rough for Elon to know that his popularity is inversely correlated with his public exposure. People thought this guy was a genius before he started posting in earnest

Tonight an unbelievable **34,000 people** gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back. This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008. Also bigger than the 2024 DNC. And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).

At the Bernie AOC rally Denver, probably 30k people.

I’m not saying someone’s so pressed I was on the cover of Teen Vogue that they started posting a bunch of misinformation about trans ppl- no wait, I am. I am saying that

AOC: If you are an LGBTQ kid or family, we cannot throw you under the bus in order to win an election. In this house, we stand together

They need to be studied.

Every country should structure its legal and regulatory systems as a series of traps that guarantee someone like Elon Musk would end up in prison before he ever got rich

so, see how bernie is passing the torch to the younger generation? see how he's creating space for AOC by using his name, then allowing her to lead? see how SOME older people act like caring elders, and others act like half-dead, out-of-touch narcissistic control freaks? be more like bernie.

this piece is probably too long and insufficiently tied to news to do numbers, but I still think it was worth writing/reading, if you have a few minutes. www.everythingishorrible.net/p/the-road-t...

This is what magic sounds like ✨

Just arrived from Berlin to an empty Dulles airport in DC. Assumed because Heathrow outage. “No,” says my WashFlyer cabbie, the past month has been super slow. “Fewer tourists, fewer business people. This is not normal, believe me.” Says he’s looking for a new job because he needs to pay his bills.

Nothing to see here—just the President of the United States suggesting that Americans who vandalized the cars of the company owned by his biggest political donor should be sent to a notorious prison in another country. This is insane.

I don't know how any client can ever trust Paul Weiss to fight for them ever again when they won't even fight to save themselves. Why would you ever want to hire such cowards as your lawyers? It's completely self defeating. Partners should consider leaving to other firms with a spine.

"On October 8, 1931, a law went into effect requiring every Italian university professor to sign an oath pledging their loyalty to the government of Benito Mussolini. Out of over 1,200 professors in the country, only 12 refused. All of them were immediately fired." www.chronicle.com/article/what...

The United States of America is the only major country on earth that does not guarantee health care as a human right. The result: We rank dead last among wealthy nations in life expectancy. We must end that international embarrassment. Yes. We need Medicare for All.

Secretary Lutnick: You are a billionaire. Maybe your mother-in-law wouldn't complain if she didn't get her Social Security check, but tens of millions of seniors struggling to survive would. They're not fraudsters. They earned it. How out of touch are you not to realize that?

Our society is not healthy enough to endure such sustained exposure to absolutely rancid New York Metro dudes. Even for those of us who have developed an immunity through long exposure this level of Long Island Guy is unsafe.

You don’t need to leak false information. If it is false, you are just making it up. So either it is a leak of truthful information or it is someone making something up.

Pretty snazzy hypocrite, granny.

Orange Hitler is turning legal immigrants into illegal by revoking their legal status. If you’re an immigrant and you voted for Trump, you’re even dumber than the other MAGA dumbfucks. Enjoy your deportation.

We expected 2,000 people out in GOP-held Greeley, Colorado. 11,000 people showed up. Something special is happening, folks. Now is the time to organize in every dimension possible and get to work.
