Listen to John Green’s heartfelt explanation of the health inequities forced on the world by this administration.

Tuberculosis once affected almost everyone, but now it “travels the paths of injustice that we blazed for it,” says author @johngreensbluesky.bsky.social. He joins us to discuss his new book.

Thank you, Robert Reich.

"Trump derangement syndrome". When was this definition of the President's dysfunctional behavior repurposed? It's like saying "chronic fatigue syndrome" describes the state of remaining staff after illegal lay-offs.

Looks like one I'll not be able to put down!

Why I am continuing to call for this man's impeachment. www.skepticalraptor.com/skepticalrap...

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable. Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes. Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

This is what’s wrong with Democrats. Cowards lead.

Democrats wake up. You will not be responsible for a shutdown. Republicans will!!

Why we need a new free speech movement open.substack.com/pub/robertre...

This is a letter I sent today to Ron Wyden @wyden.senate.gov ; Jeff Merkley @jeff-merkley.bsky.social ; and Janelle Bynum @repbynum.bsky.social Time to act.

One of the most fun reads I've had in a long time!

We love you, Quebec! democratherald.com/news/nation-...

Ok, here we go ... free speech is only for the few.

I caught Dr. Francis Collins playing his guitar on the National Mall and it gave me some hope. My latest on Substack: open.substack.com/pub/jimacost...

House and Senate Democrats, impeach this man! RFK Jr with not a shred of medical background, will kill people! crooksandliars.com/2025/03/whil...

Ah, more romance! That's what we need now...

Robert Fuck-head Kennedy Jr, without medical training of any kind, needs to go. Remind Congress that RFK Jr lied to them. www.skepticalraptor.com/skepticalrap...

All right! Volodymyr shoved co-president Yambo's offer [demands] up Yambo's ass

This man is despicable. The first impeachment trial should be his. www.thedailybeast.com/rfk-claims-m...

Just cancelled my Washington Post subscription. Fuck you, Bezos.

Ditto what Cat says—we can’t get enough Merlin.

Ok, shee-it! I'm sharing this. I so want it to be true. crooksandliars.com/2025/02/ex-r...

Can we just say what’s behind the firing of military leaders? Racism and misogyny? I mean really?

Hellebores today—they’ve been busy!

Thank you, Congresswoman Crocket.

Ukraine has an offer for Yambo and his handler Mush. crooksandliars.com/2025/02/ukra...

Sherwood Smith comes out with another fabulous book!

Sheryl Crow: “My parents always said you are who you hang out with. There comes a time when you have to decide who you are willing to align with. So long Tesla. Money donated to NPR, which is under threat by President Musk, in hopes the truth will…find its way to those willing to know [it].”

Might work, huh?

Wow. Looks like Elon Musk is on-track to win a $400,000,000 State Department contract for “Armored Tesla” in 2025. The contract is from the “Office of Small and Disadvantaged Utilization.”

As a retired Research Nurse, I send kudos to Ron Wyden and fellow Democrats for pushing back on the inappropriate confirmation of Robert J Kennedy Jr.

Listen to this guy!! www.pbs.org/newshour/amp...
