Elias Law Group is currently litigating 87 voting and election cases in 44 states and the District of Columbia. It is no exaggeration to say that the future of free and fair elections and democracy is on the docket.

What the Dem platform for 2028 must be: 1. Epstein Trials 2. ICE Trials 3. War Crimes Tribunals We don’t want to hear about a $10,000 tax credit for starting new AI businesses. We demand JUSTICE.

Just a thought: How about we stop shaming the poor for buying things that may not be essential, and start shaming the rich for making a profit off things that are essential?

Those of us doing research related to women’s health have been hit particularly hard by the govt’s sabotage of the NIH. I spoke to WaPo for this piece, as painful as it was to discuss the reality my lab is facing. www.washingtonpost.com/science/2026...

This. Unlearn that shit. But don't stop there. Don't accept this stuff from anyone else. Don't coddle bigots. Call the out. Educate them. Shame them. Whatever it takes to make this shit stop. Because we are DROWNING in this shit right now and civilization won't survive if we don't stop it all.

Food banks are not part of a safety net. they are proof we do not have a safety net.

With all of this, it is key to understand that ALL of this research - including salaries for graduate students, postdocs, staff, faculty, etc. and consumables - HAVE to be covered by grants. There is _no_ support from host institutions to ensure research continues or jobs are saved. None.

Not just ID work. Other fields are headed in a similar direction, just a bit behind that schedule. Grant awards trickling out create just enough hope to avoid outcry, but the underlying structures are being eaten away and things won’t go back to how they were without big, positive action.

U.S. infectious disease research is on the brink. Without immediate action from Congress, much of it will cease to exist within a year. For example👇 1️⃣ No collaborative RFAs posted for >1 year (normal: many / year). 2️⃣ No foreign collaborators allowed on grants. 🧪🪦 www.idsociety.org/globalassets...

This is truly despicable behavior from @VivekGRamaswamy . @amyactonoh is a survivor who pulled herself out of abuse and poverty to become a doctor and to serve Ohioans. Ramaswamy has just revealed all we need to know.

A reminder: many health care providers (like my psych clinic) give out Narcan *for free,* no questions. I got one for my car & a spare. You don’t need to be trained on Narcan to administer it (you can watch a YouTube video!), worst case is that you never use it. Or rather, that’s the best case.

Jim Jordan is commenting on Eric Swalwell's sexual misconduct allegations. Jordan was assistant wrestling coach at Ohio State while team doctor Richard Strauss sexually abused at least 177 athletes. Multiple wrestlers testified under oath they told Jordan. He did nothing. He was never charged.

I just checked on this because this is the second person today to ask me about Xavier Becerra and scientology. This is not snark… At some point folks have got to stop taking the looney ass left bait and question who benefits the most from chaos. As far as I can tell Yashir Ali started the rumor.

So it appears that the “Door Dash Grandma” is just another Republican scam Really, is anyone surprised? At all?

I personally believe the route to freeing ourselves from Trump runs through at least three constitutional amendments: the adoption of the ERA (easy); a national popular vote for president (harder), and a brand new anti-corruption amendment, with publicly funded elections (near impossible).

This exact thing happened to my dad all the time when he was working in various ERs in rural Ohio in the 1980s (Cambridge, Galion, Chillicothe). Like Dr. Ross was in the next room ready to fix your problems. The one handsome white doctor in his group was also a serial harasser which came out later.

ICE detaining doctors is absurd. Let me explain something: foreign-trained doctors get trained and practice in places where American medical graduates often do not want to go. They are not taking jobs from anybody. They go to undesirable locations and take undesirable jobs.

Trump tried to say a recent social media post of his did not depict himself as Jesus but rather as a Red Cross doctor, a group the U.S. and Israel have bombed in numerous attacks on Iran in the past six weeks — a fact that the Trump administration has scarcely acknowledged.

But this treatment isn’t yet available for most people with HIV. Patients who achieved HIV remission after a bone marrow transplant from a donor with a CCR5Δ32 mutation each needed it for another reason, such as cancer treatment. #BlackskyNews www.scientificamerican.com/article/pers...

The man who collapsed died April 6 on an Amazon warehouse floor in Troutdale, Oregon.

It started with the founding fathers and continues to this day. Racism is baked into the fabric of this country. The current president is one of the worst. www.theroot.com/why-the-deep...

This isn’t about differing political opinions. It’s about a man who has presided over the destruction of American biomedical research. Bhattacharya deserves no homecoming @stanforduniversity.bsky.social. He should be shunned forever. Good riddance.

Something to watch….

whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it & to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles & organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety & Happiness

Those stories about how white Americans chose to shut down their public swimming pools & fill them with cement rather than let Black people swim in them are perfect metaphors for what’s happening to the whole country right now.

“… kids left behind after a parent’s detention often face increased adult responsibilities, as well as the trauma of separation from a parent, said [social worker] Ana Mariella Rivera … collective trauma to MN kids will require a long-term, culturally responsive mental health response, Rivera said.”

Data centers can increase pollution, raise utility costs, and burden entire electrical grids. I am proud to be an original cosponsor of the Power for the People Act to hold data centers accountable for their own electrical costs and establish incentives to reduce their impact on the power grid.
