“after a median of five years, patients with breast or colorectal cancer who chose alternative care over conventional care for their initial treatment were nearly five times as likely to die.” www.nytimes.com/2025/03/29/o...

"Taking their cues from the federal government, local law enforcement agencies are extremely likely to increase the violent and disproportionate policing of anti-MAGA protests, as well as the mass arrests of protesters."

People respond to “call your Senator” with “but mine are both Republicans.” Precisely. The only way anything will change is with PRESSURE. Signalgate is a serious breach & display of lying & incompetence at the highest levels. Call them! 202-224-3121 www.armed-services.senate.gov/about/member...

Pulling NIH funding is stupid.

Tonight an unbelievable **34,000 people** gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back. This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008. Also bigger than the 2024 DNC. And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).

34k at the Denver AOC and Bernie rally today!!!

I just checked in at the Atlanta airport and the kiosk wanted me to show a "passport or permanent residence card." The airline rep who was helping me said "I don't know why it's doing this it's been doing it all morning."

Folks always ask me how they can make a difference. Find an elderly person who isn’t tech savvy. Help them confirm their Social Security information online. Starting March 31, phone verification will no longer be allowed for Social Security benefits, and in person will be slower as offices close.

This is really really bad

We are experiencing an assault on science unparalleled by anything I’ve seen in my life. It’s not one issue or another anymore, the entire institution is under attack by the most powerful individuals in the country. This Friday, where will you be? standupforscience2025.org

If you worked for 18F and got fired, Group together to start a consulting company. It’s just a matter of time before DOGE needs you to fix the mess they inevitably create. They will have to hire your company as a contractor to fix it. But on your terms. I’m happy to invest and/or help

NEW: Senator Marshall (R-KS) RUNS AWAY, fleeing his own town hall after being asked about DOGE firing Veterans. MAKE HIM GO VIRAL.

I have deleted Google from all my devices. "Their growing number of bullshit excuses was not sustainable"

"[Trump's] goal has always been clear: destroy functioning government, cripple the nonprofit sector and obliterate the hard-earned bonds and benefits of 80 years of post-war American progress."
