If the US wasn't trying to become Russia, I'd just be reposting cats and cool artwork. And if Canada wasn't trying to mimic 2016 US, I'd have time to work on my game projects. It's 200% ok not to follow me back, this isn't the timeline I wanted to be in.

In a small trial, nearly half of pancreatic cancer patients who received an mRNA vaccine had no signs of relapse after three years. Dr. Vinod Balachandran from @mskcancercenter.bsky.social joins us to discuss the results and what they could mean for cancer treatment.

Breaking — The Social Security Administration is dissolving its Office of Analytics Review and Oversight effective 2pm today, an agency source tells me. In a meeting leadership claimed it was part of government-wide mission to “align missions better” & said it was the first of many changes to come.

There’s something happening in this country.

I finally got through to my 22 year old cousin yesterday. He lives in Philly and was almost going to vote for Tr*mp when I convinced him not to vote at all rather than affirmatively giving him his vote. We talked yesterday and I said: "you were being lied to by rich white men." And he got it.

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

Holy crap. At his town hall last night, Rep. Rich McCormick compared *his own constituents* who asked him tough and fair questions to January 6 insurrectionists

"Would your government build housing on the greenbelt?" Ford: "No, and I think I was pretty clear. I said I was, then I wasn't, then I went ahead and did it, but, in saying that.... You know something, I apologized to the people..." Then I went ahead and did it. #FordFailedOntario

NEW: Pregnancy became far more dangerous in Texas after the state banned abortion, according to ProPublica’s first-of-its-kind analysis, which found the sepsis rate for women hospitalized as they miscarried in the 2nd trimester shot up by more than 50%. https://propub.li/43487Tj

When FAA employees are telling us it’s not safe to fly, we should probably listen.

I'm making the point that Tr*mp is actually UNPOPULAR and if there were an ACTUAL opposition party [which some of you argued with me in my mentions for 2 days & cried when I said there is no opposition party in the U.S.] he would be even more unpopular.

Elon Musk claims DOGE has saved $55 billion, but the numbers don’t add up. DOGE released a list of canceled contracts totaling $16 billion in supposed savings. However, nearly half of that came from an $8 billion ICE contract—except that contract was actually worth just $8 million.

Works as advertised

CSIS releases a report with info that any activist already knows -- that antisemitic threats are most dangerous and serious coming from the far right, and CBC inexplicably talks to a random cop who says actually, Muslims are still more dangerous. What in the fuck, CBC? www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

Just now picking up my daughter’s Claudia’s Corgi, Gracie, from her spaying procedure from Friendship Animal Hospital in northwest DC. It turns out they are doing something amazing for people victimized by the insane government purges 👉

Attorney Edward Blum's group filed a lawsuit claiming American Airlines supplier diversity program discriminates against white men. Edward Blum's press release info here: #DEI

If a transman is murdered because they're trans by anyone it is a hate crime. "Law enforcement officials said on Sunday that some or all of the five people charged with murder in connection with the killing were themselves members of L.G.B.T.Q. communities." Charge'em and let the jury decide

Yvonne Ritter is a trans S_onewall Veteran. She dedicated her life to nursing those dying of AIDS. She was a mentor to me and many others. She was just erased. You can't spell S_onewall Without a T. Rally at S_onewall Inn on 2/22 at 2pm Been there. #TransRightsAreHumanRights

As anticipated, the way avoid Bostock is to ignore it. 🤬 Trans-Rights are the canary in the coal mine. HRC is wisely spending our donations with a release stating the obvious: "This is the inevitable outcome when the EEOC is weaponized to greenlight discrimination against American workers."

💯👇 "Denise Norris, the co-founder of the legendary activist group The Transexual Menace, had good advice for organizing: be visible and have clear goals." And I am just getting warmed up... 😉 @transexualmenace.bsky.social #TransRightsAreHumanRights #TransexualMenace @kittysneezes.com

Of course it is a scam. They are using stochastic terrorism to create/amplify a trans panic as a distraction for their grift and power grab. We are not just the target, but also the scapegoat to achieve their goals. 1/

This commission statement refers to people with Autism, ADHD, asthma, auto-immune disease, and chronic illness as a “dire threat to the American people and our way of life”. This is a manifesto against disability. This is the language of eugenics.

Looks like another protest heading for Stonewall this Saturday, likely even bigger than the one last week.

Yeah, this is pretty obvious but worth stressing. Also, the idea that techbro coders with no experience in government are best able to identify and root out “fraud” is laughable

The good news: CDC's webpages have been restored following court orders. The bad news: many have this despicable banner attached to them. We will be getting into misconceptions in gender ideology in a later post. For now, we are hurt and ashamed, and we stand with the LGBTQIA+ community.

These absolute morons are going to destroy the United States. If you’re in favor of the US leaving NATO, you either don’t want the US to succeed, or you don’t know wtf NATO does. Worth noting that Mike Lee voted to expand NATO in 2022.

Not even six hours apart.
