"Long COVID in kids may have now surpassed asthma as the leading paediatric chronic illness." <----why are we sleep-walking through this?

What is common knowledge in your field, but shocks outsiders? In general, it takes about 1000 years to form 1cm of new soil.

And I find it incredibly ironic that Janet Napolitano's 2010 DHS report identified right-wing extremist violence as the greatest growing threat for domestic terrorism--and the GOP screamed bloody murder about that, and made DHS rescind the report. Seems like it's holding up pretty good after all.

Good for them.

#ProudBlue #ResistanceUnited #Pinks 🛑 STOP the SAVE ACT. Make those phone 📞 calls to your Senators and tell them to vote AGAINST this bill. STOP voter suppression‼️

The most common reason people get rid of their pets at shelters isn't because they're terrible evil people, it's because of housing insecurity. This is the real reason animal shelters were empty during COVID; the temporary moratorium on evictions & foreclosures, plus pandemic unemployment payments.

If anyone wants to join a rapid response team for spotting ICE anywhere, here's a link. They're looking for help. signal.group#CjQKIKcmjNtq...

Wow! 😮 That's wild! And so Squee cute!!!! ❤️

This talk with Erica Chenoweth (click through for link) is *really* worthwhile to listen to. She's the political scientist who found that no authoritarian regime has stayed in power after 3.5% of the population became mobilized against it. Great conversation on this pod.

“I hate that after one of these things, everybody immediately retreats to, ‘is this murder gonna help my team?’” @timmiller.bsky.social on today’s Bulwark Podcast

Important info here.

Police brutality and failure to render aid... Looks like a lawsuit the @aclu.org should take up...

When Bozo started targeting law firms with EOs, I immediately thought, "Where's the ABA on this? I hope they do somethng." Well, they finally did. They're suing to get this entire line of attack permanently shut down as unconstitutional. "Our Constitution does not vest the Executive Branch with

Any Demographers care to chime in on this? I'm not one, but as a social scientist, I'm highly skeptical of the arguments here, especially given what we know abt socioeconomic conditions that impact family/life decisions & the lack of success of pro-birth policies. But maybe I'm missing something?🤷🏼 🛟

Diese Deutlichkeit ist dringend nötig.

Righteous screed.

This speaks for itself🔥: “Native American woman calls out border patrol when asked if she’s a US citizen: ‘First ones. We didn’t cross the border, the border crossed us. What are you? You’re not first born. You’re not from this fuckin’ land. Punk-ass bitches.’” @thebulwark.com

What fresh fuckery is this? They've stripped anti-discriination clauses from the patient treament rules the VA operates under. They are no longer forbidden to discriminate on the basis of marital status, politics, and some other other things. Fuck this regime. www.thedailybeast.com/va-doctors-c...

Dear Representative Darrell Issa - these are your constituents whom you are supposed to represent. You were not elected to represent a king. Do your job & protect your constituents. Staffers, please make sure that he sees this. Thank you.

Favorite sign from yesterday!⭐️💖 #Pinks

ICE is camping outside a women's delivery room while she's in active labor to take the mom as soon as she's done delivering! #Pinks!

Did you notice how soldiers were marching out of step on the 14th? I did. I'm a vet, and I was surprised at how they were presenting. But reading this, now it all makes sense. Good for them, for their silent protesting.

It is difficult to get accurate crowd size counts for large and scattered events, though I know organizers are working hard to track this accurately. But if 50501's number is close to real, then we are a whisker away from the 3.5% critical tipping point of mass engagement that will end this regime.

My favorite #Wisconsin #NoKings sign/flag from today. #wipolitics

Massive movement of US Air Force tankers moving overnight. Not great!

RFK Jr's new 'vaccine panel' has been chosen by RFK Jr for 1 reason only: to roll back vaccines. That's their remit. He's arguably the world's most dangerous, extreme & notorious anti-vaxx activist, & he peddles horrific, dangerous, anti-scientific BS. His panel is there just to rubber stump his BS.

And there it is. The Minnesota assassin who shot Democratic lawmakers “voted for Donald Trump and was a strong Trump supporter,” according to his best friend.

The Department of Defense’s Flag Day post features a graphic displaying white, blue, and red stripes in that order—the same sequence as the Russian flag.

BREAKING: US Marines deployed to Los Angeles have carried out the first known detention of a civilian, the US military confirms. It was confirmed to Reuters after they shared this image with the US military.

Remarkable. MSNC: "I want to reiterate this has been 100% peaceful." Seconds later, LA County sheriffs start firing on the crowd. Yet again, "law enforcement" deliberately escalated.

This is just year 1….

RFK Jr now going after ALL vaccines. He argues that the Covid vaccine (which he’s restricted) was the only one that had proper safety testing. He says they “dysregulate the immune system”. Get your boosters. He’s setting the stage for “natural immunity” where only “the strong survive” Eugenics.
