The Minnesota shooter apparently used data broker websites to find the home addresses of the people he shot and murdered. Congress has had years to do something about data brokers and they've sided with the tech lobby over and over again. Their inaction is deadly.

Look, it’s simply an incredible string of coincidences that so many Republican officials turn out to be pedophiles.

In the past week, a union leader has been arrested, a U.S. Rep charged with a crime, a U.S. Senator violently handcuffed, and reporters shot with rubber bullets and detained. There is no ambiguity. This is a regime operating as an authoritarian. Americans who believe in liberty must oppose it.

Honestly I don’t give a fuck if or how hard an immigrant works. Give them laptops and e-mail jobs that require 40 minutes of concerted effort a day. Who cares! They’re our fellow human beings and don’t need to break their backs to deserve solidarity.

Idk man but when the administration that tried to reject humanitarian aid for Los Angeles when it was burning tries to justify their illegal military occupation by saying they aren’t going to let LA burn it kinda sounds like bullshit

THERE ARE NOT TWO SIDES ON VACCINES. There are experts with decades of scientific proof and there are deranged conspiracy theorists. Those aren’t sides.

Genetic material shed by tumors can be detected in the bloodstream three years before cancer diagnosis, according to a study led by investigators at Johns Hopkins University. That study was made possible with federal funding. Now, many studies like this are canceled. hub.jhu.edu/2025/06/04/...

We need to build some real social stigma around being afraid of cities. You don't have to like them or live there, but a politics built this strongly around watching TV and going "ewww" is embarrassing, and people should be embarrassed by it. It's like "fear of werewolves" being your top issue.

I was a medic at the Santa Ana protests in OC today. I watched police fire tear gas, flash bangs, & rubber bullets into crowds of men, women, & children. Other medics and I were clearly marked with red crosses, and the police were targeting us. One of the most fucked up things I’ve ever seen.

Waymos are snitches and the company chose to collaborate with the LAPD and film people without their consent. This isn't random.

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

Reminder: Nobel-prize winning PCR (1983), used in basically all genetic tech today, was only possible because of extremophile bacterium discovered in 1964 in Yellowstone funded by a small ~$80k NSF grant with no obvious application at the time. #science 🧪 www.richmondscientific.com/how-a-discov...

As you look for guidance on how to handle the overt fascism we face perhaps it is time to stop taking advice on how to handle it from the Never Trumpers who spent most of their careers getting us into this mess.

Earlier today ICE agents hit someone with a car and tear gassed a neighborhood, sparking several fires and disrupting businesses. Immigrants, by contrast, did not.

People tried so hard to follow the law, Byzantine and unjust as it is. They showed up at meetings, filled out the paperwork, went to the courthouse. You responded by kidnapping them in front of their children and dragging them to black sites. This is what’s left. This is all that’s left.

Don’t get me wrong, I think it’s hilarious, but my laughter would be less nervous if one of the guys didn’t have control of the biggest military in the world and the other one didn’t have rockets, a satellite network, and thousands of tactical-ready pickup trucks just sitting around.

The AViDD grant terminations (amidst everything else) have had really brutal ripple effects for the next generation of pandemic preparedness researchers. Some of the best up-and-coming talent in the field, now doing gig labor.

Sure, Cuomo's bagel order is bad but you know what's worse? The fact that he resigned in disgrace after sexually harassing a dozen women, is still using taxpayer dollars to destroy them, and sent thousands of seniors to die in nursing homes during COVID and then covered it up.
