In September 2021, Texas banned nearly all abortions. A JAMA Pediatrics study found that, between 2021 and 2022, infant deaths in Texas surged 12.9%, compared with a much smaller increase in the rest of the US of 1.8%. Infant mortality rates rose 8.3%. www.cnn.com/2024/06/24/h...

New gonorrhoea treatment hailed as breakthrough in fight against drug resistance

Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.

Sharing in opposition from many Texas reproductive rights advocates right now, abortion care expert and complex family planning specialist @dr-moayedi.bsky.social explains why she's against SB 31/HB 44 @thenation.com: "I can confidently say that this bill will not help me save additional lives."

China’s Xi Jinping is in Vietnam to figure out how to ‘screw’ the US, says Trump

To all those cattle producing red states:

Some lighter news for Monday morning...

Another plane crash? A small plane that was headed to Columbia County Airport in Hudson, New York crashed in a field killing 6 people onboard, including Karenna Groff, the 2022 NCAA woman of the year. I’m sure that guy from The Real World is on top of it. 😔

AOC: When he talks about rapists and criminals, he should look in the mirror

Good morning, friends! Seeing 36,000 strong in LA gives us life. @sanders.senate.gov @aoc.bsky.social The movement is growing. We are not alone. We’re not backing down. Another day to rise, resist tyranny, protect public health, and build the future we all deserve. ✊🌅💚 #FightingOligarchy

“In this arena there are hundreds of Alexandrias” Bernie calls on folks to oppose establishment candidates and run for office like @aoc.bsky.social did

REI apologizes for supporting Trump pick, protest at U of O to protect international students, and King Fool is threatening the press... again. It's GOOD MORNING, NEWS! 👋🗞️

U.S. human rights law likely violated in $6M payment for El Salvador prison, experts say, reports @arianalfigueroa.bsky.social of @statesnewsroom.com, via @alaskabeacon.com: alaskabeacon.com/2025/04/14/r...

anyway here's your comedy for monday afternoon

"The security of the world is at stake." Well worth watching President Zelenskyy's interview on 60 Minutes www.cbsnews.com/news/ukraine...

Let’s not focus on how late people are to the party and celebrate they decided to show up at all.

The escalation of the trade war between the United States and China could lead to an influx of Chinese products onto the European market. #EuropeNews

At least one US president cares to denounce this attack.

I blame Chief Justice Roberts. He clearly has no idea who he is dealing with in Trump. He is allowing Alito and Thomas to frog-march America into full-blown fascism. The April 10 SCOTUS order was an abomination—and I and many others _instantly_ saw (and said) that it would lead us where we are now.

The president is openly contracting with the president of El Salvador to build concentration camps and violate human rights.

UPDATE: El Salvador’s brutal far-right dictator, Trump and Musk friend Nayib Bukele, has confirmed that he will never return any person sent to him from America. And Trump has confirmed he wants American citizens sent to El Salvador to die in a foreign gulag. This is a five-alarm fire for democracy.

No to Monopoly… but under the Trump Regime I doubt …

Do you know who started the first food truck?

This is a pretty extraordinary thing -- not sure I've seen or heard of anything like this before. It's tomorrow/Tuesday morning -- noon eastern, 9am pacific: speakupforjustice.law

US President Donald Trump described Russia’s double ballistic missile strike on the Ukrainian city of Sumy that killed 35 and wounded 117 as a “mistake” by the Russians. But it’s no such thing.

There are ways to make an impact. #TeslaTakedown in Berkeley with great signs. Who's got great sign photos?

The Senator made a speech ahead of Clairo’s Coachella set, urging people to make this revolution with joy. “We're going to sing and dance our way to victory against hatred and divisiveness.”

Israel’s return to war in Gaza criticised by ex-Mossad operatives

The oligarchs won’t tell Trump how much chaos he’s unleashed, and they don’t even know how the chaos’s is affecting average people. The oligarchy is almost as incompetent and out of touch as Trump himself. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/damning-with-faint-praise

Great post from Dear Leader. One small problem: Russia invaded Ukraine in 2014. The two countries were at war for every minute of Trump's first term. Another problem: Trump does not actually attribute any blame for the war to guy who started it and could end it tomorrow by withdrawing: Putin.

Here is a good story on the manifestly dishonest, malevolent, and deeply dangerous actions taken by the Trump administration in the Abrego Garcia case. newrepublic.com/article/1939...

The man who broke into Gov. Josh Shapiro’s house and set it on fire reportedly planned to beat Shapiro with a sledgehammer.

Trump is scared to death of Putin. That's why all he can do is keep bullshitting his dwindling number of supporters with P.T. Barnum-like posts that keep stringing them along.

Bernie told us to #StandTogether! That was #April5th in #Denver and 36k+ showed up in LA to hear this message. They are the 1%. We are the 99%. We have them outnumbered. @aoc.bsky.social @sanders.senate.gov #Indivisible #IDA-CO #50501Protests #FightingOligarchy #Resist #AOC #Bernie #Revolution
