Today is the 91st anniversary of the last diary entry of the first man who tried to climb Everest solo. Mind you, his plan had been to crash land a plane 14,000 feet up and then stroll the rest of the way, so perhaps he wasn’t destined to succeed

The story of Alma Bowman, a disabled woman and US citizen detained by ICE, keeps getting worse She’s been in the country for 50 years. They took her wheelchair, denied her medications & threw her in a detention facility in Georgia Did you know she was a whistle blower against forced sterilization?

Republicans let a drug addict billionaire dismantle our government and fire thousands of Americans. Cool, cool. Mushrooms, Ketamine, Adderall. Nice, nice, nice. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/u...

I don't know who needs to hear this, but doing ketamine, shrooms, and ecstacy on a daily basis while wielding immense political power and a security clearance is bad on multiple levels, and saying so doesn't stigmatize reasonable uses of these drugs or get Musk off the hook for his behavior.

I finally had a read of the MAHA report today, and aside from the obvious use of generative AI and false citations, what strikes me is how remarkably unprofessional and amateurish the document is. It's just wild garbage 1/n

In San Antonio today, plainclothes ICE officers (not masked this time) arrested, handcuffed, and zip-tied a family of five (yes, ALL of them, including the little children) coming out of their immigration court hearing — which ICE had just had dismissed. www.mysanantonio.com/news/local/a...

I spent five weeks talking to federal workers about knowledge loss and brain drain across the federal government, and its implications, both right now and for decades to come. Their stories are frightening, but I think it's important to know what we're facing: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

If folks are confusing ICE with right-wing militias like the Proud Boys or Three Percenters… do you see the problem? This is not normal or okay. Call your Senators & Reps —Demand hearings, sanctioned or not. ☎️ Capitol Switchboard: (202) 224-3121 @housedemocrats.bsky.social @democrats.senate.gov

THIS FUCKING GUY. Reinstating Medicaid asset limits, which kept elders and disabled people in a state of enforced poverty, is some outright cruel rightwing shit. This man is an embarrassment. Killing elders and disabled people for a 'balanced budget' is rancid.

Seven of the sources cited in MAHA commission's report do not exist: “The paper cited is not a real paper that I or my colleagues were involved with," says one researcher. www.notus.org/health-scien...

Update: reports today that multiple legal observers were arrested today in New York at two separate immigration courts, for allegedly “obstructing” ICE. Not only that, apparently some immigration courts are barring the public from attending hearings. This mess is escalating fast.

The alternative to this is saying that government should only function for people with the “right” political views, which is essentially what we are living through right now

I'm trying *real hard* to not lose hope y'all. At the end of the day, we are all we've got. Please be kind to each other.

The net effect of banning NIH scientists from publishing in top journals will be that scientists from other countries will have a better chance of their work being published there. It won’t kill science. It won’t kill ideas. It will severely damage US science and ideas.

The reason Apple manufactures in China is b/c of YEARS of investment in vocational training there. Any effort to bring these industries onshore STARTS WITH INVESTING IN OUR EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM. And it will take YEARS. It’s not about tiny hands (so stupid). Here’s Apple CEO Tim Cook

Covid vaccines will be restricted to those over 65 or with preconditions Pregnant women, one of the highest risk groups for Covid complications, are restricted. Wear a well fitted respirator. Long Covid is debilitating. There’s no cure. And there’s way more people suffering that you might realize

RFK Jr. wants to bar government scientists from publishing in NEJM? Interesting, given that his sidekicks Makary and Prasad published there *last week*. (An article laundering RFK Jr.'s "gold standard science" rhetoric as a way to restrict vaccine availability, no less.)

SCOOP— FEMA essential functions are at "high risk" of not functioning properly just days before hurricane season because of staffing shortages, per a recent internal memo obtained by The Handbasket. These deficiencies "may disrupt life-saving and life-sustaining program delivery." Full story here:
