Good reporting here. Student paper gets what the bigs have missed. White House is actually threatening to defund all of bostons major hospitals www.thecrimson.com/article/2025...

Maybe he forgot. So we'll remind him.

This letter from Joshua Fessel, MD, PhD, ATSF, formerly Chief Medical Officer and Director of the Office of Translational Medicine at the National Center for Advancing Translational Science at National Institutes of Health is spot on. Direct link to letter: www.atsjournals.org/doi/epdf/10....

We traded a Silver Star awarded 4 Star General who served in Iraq and Syria for a Liquor loving Fake News Host who prioritizes makeup over Military Op Security............🤔🤔🤔

The final honor guard for Pope Francis included migrants, prisoners, transgender people, the homeless and others selected by the Vicariate of Rome as a symbol of the late pope’s mission of inclusion and outreach. Read more from the funeral: wapo.st/3YdDGqM

This is what a rigged economy looks like: In the 1970s, CEOs made 27 times more than the average worker. In the 1980s, CEOs made 48 times more than the average worker. This decade, CEOs are making 354 times more than the average worker. That has got to change.

It’s interesting that secret service told reporters the guy who stole Noem’s purse what a white male, then they wait a week and DHS says it was an undocumented migrant but refuses to give any other details.

Happy #IndieBookstoreDay everyone!!!

Crimes against humanity! I am sickened to my core! This must be stopped!

As you may know, I have a new book coming out in August. If you’d like to pre-order it, without co-funding Jeff Bezos’s next mansion, I recommend purchasing it today for Independent Bookstore Day.

What happens when the wealthy pay their fair share in taxes like everyone else? We can invest in a stronger, fairer America — where every kid has a quality education and families aren’t bankrupted by one medical diagnosis.

"We can't have a society in which some dictator can start imposing censorship here in the United States. If somebody is able to intimidate folks out of releasing a satirical movie, imagine what's going to happen when they see a story they don't like or news they don't like." - Barack Obama

Macron shook one hand.

If you think a just-fertilized ovary is entitled to life but are indifferent to what happens to a kidnapped 4-year-old with cancer, sent to a dangerous country without meds, you don’t give a fuck about the lives of children. You are just in a cult that fetishizes being against abortions.

Given the literal definition of deportation is removing a foreigner or noncitizen from the country, we - journalists, media orgs - should probably all stop referring to the ‘deportation’ of a 2 year old US citizen. It’s NOT a deportation. I’m not sure what it is. A kidnapping?

Our local history museum has this painting of "Tinkle" in their collection but I have NEVER seen it on display. Always in storage. They open for the season May 9th and we're very anxious to see if it's out this year. Unknown artist, 1883. shelburnemuseum.org/online-exhib...

At this juncture I’d like to point out: * we’re on the brink of a golden age of medical healing * there’s enough money in the world to solve every problem in the world * a united approach could stop the climate crisis But a small group of sociopaths seeking personal power are going to throw it away.

Amen.

And now for something completely different… Dagny Juel Przybyszewska. Oil on canvas, 1893. Edvard Munch (Norwegian,1863-1944) Juel became a feminist icon; her childhood home is home to the Women’s Museum. Munch painted a portrait of her in black dress merging into the indigo blue background.

Could you ever have imagined you would see a headline like this in your lifetime

What would encourage you to add to the baby supply?

Laura Pisani, 1525. Once attributed to Dosso Dossi, whose day is today. Now not. But still a great portrait!

A two year old baby forced onto a plane by her government—our government. That’s what Ilan Wurman and Kurt Lash and their academic collaborators and defenders have been paving the way for with their bullshit articles. www.politico.com/news/2025/04...

The orange felon claims he’s made 200 trade deals so far. Which really means he hasn’t made one single deal because there hasn’t been one single trade agreement announced. He’s a pathological liar and a fraud.

Effective May 10, NOAA is gone. NOAA protects food systems, disaster preparation and public health, clean air and portable water When NOAA dies, parts if civil society dies. This is just brutal. We, as a society, are going to suffer incredibly.

Let’s start with the basics.

In the first three months of this year, companies canceled close to $8 billion of U.S. clean energy projects -- mostly factories.
