Me: I don't understand why medieval people were so superstitious. Me after seeing this in the morning: Yep, witches, signs, satan, end of the world, portal to hell, all makes sense now.

If they were decent they wouldn’t be supporting it. This narrative of “White innocence” has got to stop. Read your James Baldwin, who coined the phrase. 🙏🏾

Under 65 years old? No Novovax COVID vaccine for you this year. As expected, the Republicans have enabled RFK Jr. and his coterie of antivax grifters to take away your right to make your own medical decisions in consultation with your doctor. Gift Link: www.nytimes.com/2025/05/17/h...

"I want people to be safe and protected. I want to live on the right side of history. I am an immigrant. My parents are refugees from Chile. We fled a dictatorship and I was privileged enough to grow up in the United States after asylum in Denmark. I stand by those protections, always."

NEW from me — ICE is actively searching for job candidates with backgrounds in construction management and engineering via a third party recruitment agency. This comes on the heels of the @aclu.org uncovering ICE's plan to expand their detention facilities in 10 states. My report:

SECONDED, also, the thing that annoys me MOST about the stupid Plagiarism GenAI BarfBot Apologists is their claim that it is ABSOLUTELY INEVITABLE, like What is WRONG with you? Oh it's INEVITABLE? Really? Push a button, get a handful of warm NutraLoaf? That HAS to happen? You HAVE to have it?!

Really glad that when Trump was asked once or twice pre-election about Project 2025 and its dystopian goals, the press took him at his word that he had nothing to do with it and didn’t focus reporting on what a 2nd term would actually look like & what the consequences would be.

I think there's a very meaningful conversation to be had about the surgical homogenization of MAGA women's appearances to suit one man's aesthetic preferences, and what that says about patriarchal bargains under fascistic misogyny. AND "haha, filler" is not that conversation

We just got a letter from our healthcare company denying coverage for my wife's recent 48 hours in the hospital because they have decided that it was "not medically necessary." She was in the hospital giving birth.

This is a HUGE scandal. Elon Musk, JD Vance, and Trump are lying about Social Security fraud. Internal documents show DOGE found "no significant fraud"—but did slow retirement claim processing by 25%. Nothing efficient about making it harder for people to get their benefits.

My ongoing request: If your NSF or NIH grant was terminated--whether at Harvard or elsewhere--please report it here. NSF: grant-watch.us/submit-nsf.h... NIH: grant-watch.us/submit-nih.h... Our trackers are actively used in lawsuits and are often the only record that terminations ever occurred.

BREAKING: This is unusual trading by a politican. Representative Greg Landsman sold up to $50,000 of United Health, $UNH, on 03/26/2025. Since, $UNH is down 53%, and it was disclosed that the DOJ was investigating $UNH for possible Medicare fraud. He sits on the House Subcommittee of Health.

So, you might be wondering: does it matter if Covid shots are recommended? Yes, yes it does. 1. Insurance won't cover them if they're not recommended. That's a HUGE challenge for a lot of people. 2. If more people skip the shots, manufacturers will make fewer doses, making them harder to find.

Trump officials maintain that the administration is ensuring children are not abused or trafficked, but current/former agency employees, lawyers and advocates told @lomikriel.bsky.social & @micarosenberg.bsky.social that the resettlement agency is drifting from its humanitarian mandate.

For everyone saying this doesn't matter because ICE doesn't follow the law: 1. They want you to think knowing your rights makes no difference when we know for a fact it does. How do we know that? Because Homan himself said people knowing their rights cost then hundreds of arrests in Chicago.

Effectively a full repeal of the largest climate bill in history. There’s no strategy for America’s future. We all get sicker and pay more in energy bills and suffer climate disasters, while some rich folks pay less in taxes. That’s it. Disgraceful.
