“The rapid rise in autism cases is not because of vaccines or environmental toxins, but rather is the result of changes in the way that autism is defined and assessed — changes that I helped put into place,” writes the psychiatrist Allen Frances.

In the past year we've had a series of papers with results that've shocked #climate scientists - the globe is heating #FasterThanExpected & we don't fully know why The public discourse is not keeping up. Here's a series of 5 new studies that climate hawks & journos need to have on their radar 🧵

Funny that, innit?

Iraq 2.0 brought to you by the 'No More Wars' dictator #fucktrump

Mood.

We could have just arrested him after January 6. Imagine the number of people who would be alive today. Who wouldn't die as this continues to unfold. The best case scenario is that we'll remain enough of a country to reckon with this mistake later.

i will never understand anyone who believes that the systems we live under are necessary and that anyone who wants radical change is insane, unrealistic and unreasonable. in my lifetime, it has never been so glaringly obvious that the opposite is true

The fact that our military was perfectly happy to use weapons abroad in violation of the War Powers Act doesn't bode well for us when they are asked to use weapons at home in violation of the Posse Comitatus Act.

Bernie Sanders calls the bombing of Iran unconstitutional and the crowd breaks out into “no more war”.

That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers. Reminder that Congress has the power to stop all of this. Where the hell are they? Hello?

The faces behind Trump say it all

Learning about Climate Change is just depressing. We are so fucked. So incredibly, completely, and throughly, fucked.

It’s actually wild that some of my colleagues and the Metro Chamber are going on Red Scare level screeds in this particular moment when the poem literally starts with “First they came for the communists” Especially since they also hold marginalized identities/will be targeted not far down the line

For real tho…

"We establish no religion in this country, we command no worship, we mandate no belief. Nor will we ever. Church and State are, and must remain, separate." --President Ronald Reagan, whom I usually never quote

Ted Cruz "hates communists" because Cuban President Fulgencio Batista, who was *not* a communist, imprisoned and tortured Cruz's father for helping Fidel Castro, who *was* a communist and who freed Cruz's father from the non-communist prison. Proving, once again, that Cruz speaks absolute rubbish.

We got these guys for the eggs, but taking breaks to spend time with them has become self care for the whole family.

The compassion fatigue of those involved in activism is rarely mentioned. I burned out in “20 and I’m recognizing now that it may never be wise for me to return to any level of political engagement. I didn’t view my actions as “caretaking”, I wish that I had.

Multiple forecast studies by independent groups show that for decades various types of climate models have provided actionably accurate representations of the ongoing human-driven climate change. Anyone who tells you otherwise is spreading misinformation. 🧪🔌💡☀️💨🔋 www.carbonbrief.org/analysis-how....

I wrote about how the 2020 protests hurt Trump politically. I also wrote about how counternarratives about left-wing violence are just spin — and wildly at odds with the reality of extremist violence. Gift link: wapo.st/3SOEv6e

If it weren’t so dangerous, it’d be an incredible dark comedy. An orange felon w/ a hillbilly sidekick, alcoholic news bro, short king warhawk, and culty Assad apologist keeping us “safe”, while a brain-wormed ex-addict & a WWE chair magnet teach us how to be smart and healthy.

97% of extremist-related murders in the U.S. in 2024 were linked to right-wing extremists. It’s not a political movement anymore - it’s a hobby for failed men with too much testosterone and not enough brain cells.

Today they have crossed a deep red line. We, the people, must hold the president and his appointees accountable for this outrageous abuse against American liberty.

Alt text Also, did you know you can hear these nymphs softly scraping and rustling their way across the leaf liter as they creep all the way to the tree trunks at night? Like the entire forest floor is shifting, inching, just a little at a time, in every direction around you.

When the storm lets up take rest before you take flight. You need not rush from storm to storm, you will fly further and truer with your strength gathered first. There is nothing productive about burning yourself away instead.

Deregulation. Privatization. Tax cuts. Free trade. Stagnant pay for most. A soaring stock market for the top. That’s the legacy of neoliberalism. Don’t buy revisionist attempts to rehabilitate it. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/the-tragic-history-of-neoliberalism

Don’t let your past keep you trapped, the darkness is not eternal, you need only dig your way to the sun. The claws it takes to get there will not define your future, they will fall away when you are ready to take wing. Let the darkness die behind you: you deserve to fly, to sing.
