The humanitarian crisis in Gaza has reached unprecedented levels, with more than two million people – mostly women and children – trapped, starving and desperate, as no aid has been allowed in for the past 50 days. news.un.org/en/story/202...

The federal government plans to eliminate services for LGBTQ youth who call 988, the national suicide and crisis hotline, according to a Health and Human Services budget draft leaked last week.

It's so odd that Christian Nationalists are trying to stomp out *pretend* "anti-Christian bias" when their repudiation of everything Jesus ever said is the biggest example of *real* "anti-Christian bias" in the United States right now.

@katrinamillerphd.bsky.social & I took a look at over 400 active National Science Foundation grants that got killed in the past few days. Here's our story (gift link) nyti.ms/4jp4aOx

Every year, the IRS loses over a 100 billion dollars because it doesn't tax businesses called "churches." Look into that waste, Elon! youtu.be/37cZqx349xU

NEW: Read the resignation letter of three federal prosecutors who'd worked on the Eric Adams case: "Now, the Department has decided that obedience supersedes all else, requiring us to abdicate our legal and ethical obligations in favor of directions from Washington." static01.nyt.com/newsgraphics...

I've been reading the "People's History of the United States" and it's shocking how many things have never been discussed in school. Like the reality of slavery. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

This is the kind of urgent action we need and must demand toward this lawless regime. “It’s a national disgrace what is taking place,” Sen. Markey said about students taken without committing crimes. “We stand right now at a turning point in American history.” www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Gélineau advanced the term "narcolepsy" in 1880 while de la Tourette described his eponymous syndrome in 1885. "Autism" was coined by Bleuler in 1911, with full diagnoses soon after. But what do I know? I'm not the Cabinet secretary in charge of the goddamn Department of Health and Human Services.

Trumpism: isolate America. FYI the rest of the world is going on without us. China is making new relationships with other countries and encouraging them not to deal with Double Agent Orange Turd.Proving the world does not need America like DickHeadTrump proclaimed.

No due process means he decides your guilt or innocence. Not the courts. Not a judge or a jury. No longer will you be deemed innocent until PROVEN guilty. You’ll be declared guilty and snatched off the streets with no recourse. Is the wisdom of the Constitution kicking in yet?

If Pete Hegseth were a real man: a man of dignity, strength, and honesty, he would admit he is not qualified for this position and never belonged here in the first place. Since he is none of those things, he will willingly place the courageous members of our Military and our nation in harm's way.
