Lee Jae-myung, the South Korean politician who climbed the fence of the parliament to get inside and vote against martial law, has been elected president. Pretty cooool

Speaking to journalists online, Zelenskyy hopes there will be two prisoner exchanges. 1,000 for 1,000 for military POWs has already been agreed, while Ukraine's President confirmed what I wrote this morning, they want a 200-200 civilian swap of political prisoners, journalists.

Here's something everybody should be paying attention to: Congressional Republicans are trying to weaken the Affordable Care Act and put millions of people at risk of losing their health care. Call your Senators and tell them we can't let that happen.

Let me congratulate the SEIU nurses at Meriter Hospital in Madison, WI for winning a 10% pay raise & a strong contract to improve the health & safety of patients after courageously waging a 5-day strike. You have proven, once again, that when workers fight for justice, they win.

A radical transformation of our way of life is underway. Don’t let anyone gaslight you into thinking this administration is normal.

No matter who you are or who you love, you are welcome here. Happy Pride Month, Minnesota!

"At a time when the country faces no shortage of health threats, the value of evidence and expertise is itself under attack. The anti-establishment has become the establishment, and its decisions will affect us all." — @dhruvkhullar.bsky.social www.newyorker.com/news/the-led...

If ICE is on the up and up, why are they wearing masks, and sometimes not wearing badges? Democrats need to instigate investigations NOW! "agents participating in a February raid in Tennessee did not have badges. " www.timesunion.com/opinion/arti...

Rubio is 100% complicit with this admin’s abuses of power. He is not an unwilling participant or a voice of reason. He’s in deep, all in so-to-speak. Ex: Pausing of J-1 visas to scrutinize applicants social media over ANY criticism of Israel’s War on Gaza which they conflate with antisemitism.

See, this is what happens when professional societies put on the blinders and fail to take a stance early on due to wanting to avoid being “political”. This will be devastating for our Chinese students and our field overall because they make significant contributions.

Today, a federal court in Boston will hear Harvard's case against Trump’s attacks on its international students. We must defend our students, our educators, and our values.

Medicare for All means Medicare for ALL — not some, or a few, or most. Health care is a human right. Every other major country recognizes that. It's long past time the United States does as well.

While a serious setback. These are deliberate moves to distract attention. Keep your eyes on the ball. Tariffs just got shot down. Expect lawsuits over this nonsense as well.

Steven J. Fleischman, MD, president of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, said in a statement, “The science has not changed. It is very clear that #COVID infection during pregnancy can be catastrophic and lead to major disability." @acog.org

I have now had three different people tell me they can't believe I got covid because they assumed it was eradicated. No... No, it was not.

Mask up NOW “A new COVID variant, known as NB.1.8.1, has made landfall in the United States, and it's more transmissible than other variants.” www.huffpost.com/entry/the-mo...

Treating a new Covid strain like a crime and not a public health issue is deranged.

It’s shockingly refreshing when someone will just say: “guys, he’s got no clothes on, you can see it too — right??” www.ft.com/content/1dd8...

Yup.

Canada is doubling down on DEI and I am SO here for it:

Reminder:

All these "tools" are scared shitless of the Grifter in Chief or they're on the payroll.

More of this please. Apparently their modus operandi is to use U-Haul trucks. Be on the lookout and report suspicious activities to law enforcement.

Just a reminder. This beautiful former First Lady has a Law Degree from Harvard.

Ts being sold. Indeed, that is the question to be asking ourselves.

And there you have it. Micro-corruption. Everyone needs to do some soul searching. www.instagram.com/reel/DJMcyKH...

America cannot long remain free, nor first among nations, if it becomes the kind of place where universities are dismantled because they don't align politically with the current head of the government.

Spied on Threads and YES.

2025 breaking news: women’s pain should be treated

"Around 14,000 babies in Gaza could die in the next 48 hours if more aid trucks did not reach the population, U.N. humanitarian chief Tom Fletcher told the BBC on Tuesday." Democratic and Republican establishments both support this by the way. It's a genocide.
