You know all those N95 masks that kept (and are still keeping) a lot of us from getting COVID? They were NIOSH approved. Except not any more, because RFK Jr just destroyed NIOSH.

The entirety of the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health was wiped out last night in a form letter sent by RFK Jr. NIOSH is an agency in the CDC that investigates workplace hazards and finds solutions. It protects workers, so it’s gone. Even firefighters.

Seems like every state (and school, and business) should be using this tactic, huh?

👍👍 Still not gonna start shopping there again though

lol “former US president”? They’re just blatantly taunting him now 😂

Hey @gamehistoryorg.bsky.social any ideas what this thing is?

I asked about this ages ago on the other place, but never got a solid answer, so I’m trying again. #Gamesky, any video game people have any idea what this is? Had it for years and I’ve no idea. Dying to know!

Why one indie studio is reacting to economic uncertainty by lowering its prices – instead of raising them, like everyone else aftermath.site/everspace-2-...

Wrath keeps overtaking me everytime I think about RFK. Why? I'm a type 1 diabetic. I got it when I was 14. Guess what you need if you're a type 1 diabetic? Insulin. Or you die. But my family believed that it could be cured with herbs & faith healing. I had a near death experience when I was 14. 🧵

Death by a thousand cuts

This is impoundment, it is illegal, and that should be in the headline www.npr.org/2025/05/02/n...

Happy May 1st. The value of your labor belongs to you and the actions of the state are best understood as as a coordinated effort to distract you from this. The state fears an organized and unified proletariat like it fears death and rightly so. Power to the workers and power to the people

Harvard just handed all school and disciplinary records of international students to DHS. Absolutely contemptible. They're putting their own students in danger and lying by telling them that everything is ok. These students could be black bagged to Louisiana or El Salvador after this.

JFC. unbelievable. Is committing disastrous self-owns just a regular WorldCon thing now?

Today is National Adopt a Shelter Pet Day! 🐾 I adopted Orion and Corvus in January. They’d been badly mistreated before the shelter reached them, but with love in a safe home they’re happy, comfortable, and causing so much trouble! 😂

A huge blow to the Trump administration's effort to silence dissent by throwing green card holders in ICE detention on manufactured "foreign policy" grounds.

Everyone should notice that they are VERY deliberately deporting precisely the people who are attempting to work legally within the system. The whole line about how "I'm just against illegal immigration" is bullshit. It always was.

The economy SHRANK in the first quarter. Down from 2.4% growth in q4 to -0.3 in q1. Trump has officially cratered the strongest economy in the world in just a few months.
