This Day in Labor History: July 12, 1917. The forces of order in Bisbee, Arizona rounded up anyone they thought was a member of the IWW, put them on train cars, and dropped them in the New Mexico desert. The government did nothing. Let's talk about the Bisbee Deportation!

Mainstream Respectable opinion is that people joking about a bad person's death represents a culture of cruelty, but really it represents a culture of impunity. It's a coping mechanism for watching someone do evil their whole life and never seeing consequences

Lethary is common. Resting is important, but you can't sleep this off. Keep sipping. Severe dehydration means tachycardia (rapid heartbeat) and, ultimately, systemic shock and organ failure. Good oral rehydration helps you avoid needing an IV (which is not fun and $$ in the US). 5/

Oral rehydration should be with an electrolyte solution, not just water, juice or soda. Pedialyte is optimized. Gatorade is okay. Both can be expensive. You can also make it at home - 1L water, 1 tsp sugar, 1 pinch salt, squeeze of citrus if you have it. This optimizes absorption. 2/

Hi. We're in the Age of Diarrhea. I'm a global health expert on helping children survive diarrhea. Here's what to do if you might have picked up cyclospora. 🧵 1. Call your primary care if possible. 2. Take oral rehydration therapy, which isn't just drinking fluids. 1/

Waiting for the day the English speaking football commentary ditches the term “class” when referencing something inherently good.

Two weeks ago, the Senate joined the House in voting to end Trump's unauthorized war with Iran. Yet Trump continues to bomb Iran. In doing so, I believe the Trump administration is the first since Nixon to continue waging a war despite both houses of Congress voting to end hostilities.

100 years ago, same place, same message, different outfits.

Since Trump wants the big issue in the midterms to be "communism," I'm reupping this thread about how Trump and the Republicans want to rule like Stalin and the Soviets.

ICE just announced the death of the 21st person in immigration prison, Adrian Andreas Florian, an 85-year-old man from Germany. He died June 24. There's very little information in the press release but it sounds like he may have had dementia. Absolutely horrific.

Deeply tempted to take the day off work and drive to St Marys, a weird Kansas enclave that's like 75% Society of St. Pius X, just to see what the vibe is.

hey is the word “eliminate” good when they’re talking about You. just wondering

Turns out overzealous university officials serving as government censors waste a ton of money and time. Who knew 🤷🏻‍♂️

this is a great article. I saw the portrait of the black curtains in the doge palace a few years ago, and someone explained the story briefly, but learned a lot more about it here.

"I assimilated all the way to Congress" is a hell of a line.

Pretty clear the charge that Musk has killed millions of children bothers him. I find this surprising and we should exploit it. The world deserves to know that he’s killed millions of children and he deserves to suffer for the rest of his disgusting life.
