If you’re from outside the U.S. and thinking of a holiday here I recommend not risking it. This isn’t a safe country for anybody right now.

#TeslaTakedown in the news and on the march from down under! "But his incursion into ultra-right wing politics and his dabbling in European election campaigns has caused offence in Europe and a backlash across the globe. Customers are abandoning the brand."

As kids get sicker, media ignores scientific papers pointing to immune damage after COVID. Instead, parents are urged to “watch out” for unusual waves of RSV, flu, pneumonia, & more, while masks, clean air and the pandemic are pointedly never mentioned. www.thegauntlet.news/p/kids-keep-...

COVID is a novel virus. It’s only been five years, which is nothing in the span of a brand new disease. We’re learning more & more each day about the long term consequences of repeat infections. Mask up for yourself, your communities & especially for all the children who can’t protect themselves

This is why we must fight for everyone. Whether they’ve been incarcerated or have had contact with the criminal legal system or are merely undocumented. When you accept that some people are deserving of detention and deportation the scope of who is eligible is always under threat of expanding.

The administration is doing a good job trying to keep measles cases from being counted, yet we’ve already had more deaths in 2025 than in any of the last 30 yrs. Measles also has a delay (incubation period) between transmission and symptoms, so people can be contagious without knowing they’re sick.

Sick people can be contagious for up to FOUR days before showing symptoms. And particles from a contagious person can stay in the air for TWO HOURS after they leave. Amazing biologically. A nightmare for this #EpiMomma.

Quite honestly, I don’t care if a “majority of people” think trans people shouldn’t be allowed to play sports. Supporting trans people is the right thing to do, and I’m going to do that.

some of y'all are pretending that the Democratic Party doesn't have money to send out an 8 page zine to all of the people on their fucking lists laying out EXACTLY what's happening at the Federal level. The thing they don't want to do is to tell their voters what THEY ARE DOING ABOUT IT. Nothing.

If you’re dealing with Long Covid - there’s a chance you’re also dealing with MCAS and/or POTS/Dysautonomia. They’re two of the most common comorbids - and can have a devastating impact on quality of life. New allergies? Alcohol intolerance? Dizziness? Fatigue? Fainting? A mega 🧵 of resources

“The misinformation and disinformation is insane [...] It’s challenging, but I know I come from a position of privilege, so I feel I have a responsibility ... it’s really hard to get people to be seen with long Covid because they just don’t want the abuse”

My very strong suspicion is that the left/right axis and the fight/don't-fight axis are in the process of unlinking, and that the fight/don't-fight split is emerging as the core struggle in the Democratic Party.

Yes! The key divide is between those who prefer politics-as-usual, bipartisan "unity," and accommodation vs those who understand "normal" politics is not an adequate option when confronted with a comprehensive assault on democratic self-government and the constitutional order.

What's hilarious is that the groups who got this rolling are tiny, not funded at all (some chapters of bigger groups then jumped in). We buy our own sharpies/cardboard! #TeslaTakedown has become an enormous nationwide wave because PEOPLE HATE WHAT HE'S DOING. So, uh, good luck with the threats...

Hi everyone, We aren’t receiving funds quickly enough for our current spending. Remember: if we do not raise enough, we will have to potentially cut thousands of people off from the Internet, during Ramadan. Let’s not let this happen. bit.ly/eSimsRUs #ConnectingGaza

Celebrate International Women's Day by interrupting men with your unsolicited opinions and taking credit for their work. If they get upset about it, be sure to tell them that they sound hysterical and should smile more.

Remarkable: Numerous Fox News figures are now openly panicking about Trump's economy, warning that it's in real trouble. It's a sign that the MAGA project is quite fragile: If voters keep turning on him here, the whole edifice could collapse. New from me: newrepublic.com/article/1925...

Institutions must learn: there's no appeasing fascists. Columbia humiliated itself, broke the law, brutalized students/faculty, and destroyed the concept of truth. It was targeted not in spite of that, but because of it. If you lack integrity and show weakness, you'll be crushed.
