You guys, so many Romance girlies are reading "On Tyranny" that they've broken the Goodreads recommendations algorithm. 10/10; no notes. #romancelandia

My ACIP recap: 🧵 1) MMRV combo vaccine no longer recommended for children <4y. That means vaccine will not be covered by insurance, so not an option for patients. The 2 shot MMR and chickenpox vaccines are still available. This removes access. Let’s see which vaccine they will go for next!

Trump is polling at 37%. His actions are deeply unpopular. Don’t mistake brazen actions for clout. This is our country. Push back on everything. 💪

I’m going to say something abt domestic abuse that I think applies to our current situation: Abuse increases when the abuser feels they are losing their control. Also, here is the Power and Control Wheel.

Vote with your dollars.

So nice to meet up with so many NIH and CDC colleagues this afternoon! People who care about other people are my favorite. ❤️

san.com/cc/trump-imp... This is incredibly cruel and evil.

Today, Maryland took additional actions to protect COVID access: - Issued a standing order so vaccines can be administered based on guidance developed by medical professional societies instead of the federal government - Confirmed they have joined the Northeast Public Health Collaborative

@jenna-m-norton.bsky.social has been doing amazing work speaking out and helping organize others to help protect public health for all...

📣📣📣 CALL TO ACTION - 🚨 🚨🚨 A thread on how you can join a growing chorus of federal workers and members of the public pressuring Congress to embrace its power and end the authoritarian takeover #FightingCR

The federal workers who take care of our veterans, inspect our food, and help people through natural disasters know Trump’s lawlessness is hurting everyday Americans and they are begging Congress to stop it.

Dr Judy Stone says she's a practicing infectious disease doctor. She remembers treating meningitis outbreaks. "I still have nightmares about that," she tells ACIP. Hundreds of thousands of child deaths have been prevented, she said. "We must not go back."

Sad that it's come to this, but thrilled that Maryland is joining other states who value public health when our Federal government leaders clearly do not.

Don't comply in advance. We are watching people in fear trying to avoid pain by censoring themselves and changing their behavior before being compelled to. Following rules of a group is pro-social behavior that is dangerous now. How can you resist this urge as a law-abiding citizen? A quick 🧵

Exhibit 138427 demonstrating RFK is unfit to lead HHS. Why does this administration hate innocent kids? #usanotrfk

🚨🚨🚨This is going to kill so many babies and lead to many more children born with serious birth defects. Absolutely inexcusable decisionmaking.🚨🚨🚨 thehill.com/policy/healt...

There, I fixed it. #kimmel Shame, @nytimes.com

This is a remarkable declaration and challenge to Congress: "We call on you to pass nothing less than a fighting CR: a funding bill that not only keeps the lights on, but that also includes statutory protections to rein in executive lawlessness." Spread the word.

From Wired a few weeks ago. A lot of the people who I was told for years were the adults in the room are being asked how they want to be remembered, and that answer is very clearly "cowards." www.wired.com/story/uncann...

A grim reminder: these people will never be satisfied. There’s no point at which they will say “we’ve won, let’s enjoy life.” They will always be looking for someone else to punish, to revile, to dehumanize. They’re empty without that.

excited for this trend to continue when 30 years from now Nick Fuentes takes a principled stance against the policies of President Triple Hitler, a clone containing the souls of three Hitlers in a single body

Yes, release the Epstein files!!!

NEW: Whistleblowers allege that a senior government official, Angie Salazar, made inaccurate statements in a sworn declaration filed in a lawsuit challenging the summary removal of migrant children. Salazar "knew or should have known of the inaccuracies," per letter to Congressional leaders.

It feels like the door to an entire era of American cinema has been finally and irrevocably closed. RIP. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/16/m...

Pythagorean Triple Square Day, as one man affectionately calls 9/16/25, is a day like no other this century.

The right have launched an all-out attack on liberals and the left, in the wake of the Kirk killing, pushing narratives about left-wing violence and the need to investigate liberal nonprofits and Schumer and Jeffries are totally AWOL. The Dems are leaderless. Shocking.

Floridians are really ok with this? The Walt Disney Corporation is really ok with this??

He says it low, but he says it

Everybody gamely says “Vance hosted Kirk’s podcast” instead of “the regime officially turned the major channel into state-controlled media just as it began its violent crackdown on any opposition or dissident messages.”

IT'S A COOKBOOK

The very definition of a police state: “A lot of the people that you would traditionally say are on the left, they're already under investigation," Trump said. www.huffpost.com/entry/charli...

i have said this before but when “getting rid of race in admissions” for the administration means “you can’t even try to reach out to underrepresented communities and encourage them to apply and if you do it is illegal discrimination against white people” then the actual goal here is segregation

US President back-pedalling furiously after his administration treated some innocent hard-working Koreans like they were innocent hard-working Latinos.

Some personal news: I've been fired from the Washington Post in the aftermath of the Charlie Kirk shooting. Thread incoming. substack.com/@karenattiah...

This exchange says it all.

Stephen Colbert's Emmy victory speech: "Sometimes you only truly know how much you love something when you get a sense that you might be losing it. I have never loved my country more desperately. Stay strong, be brave, and if the elevator tries to bring you down, go crazy and punch a higher floor!"

Congratulations to The Pitt on winning the Emmy for best drama. If you are lucky, your doctor will be an asshole like Dr. Robby. Jokes aside, The Pitt provides a realistic view of what doctors are confronting every day. It’s time to #FireRFKjr

The Pitt won Outstanding Drama Series at the #Emmys, and R. Scott Gemmill dedicated the award to healthcare workers: "Respect them. Protect them. Trust them.” 🏆 www.rollingstone.com/tv-movies/tv...

cannot be overstated how much leadership despises its base

So Kilmeade issues a weak apology about giving homeless people lethal injections and Fox just moves on with zero consequences. As usual.

1. Trump threatened every hospital that provides gender affirming care to transgender youth. Many complied and shut down their programs. Boston Children's Hospital didn't. They fought back and kept providing care. And now, they just beat Trump in court. Subscribe to support our journalism.

New mantra: write when feisty. “Harming or killing one person with a knife or gun is illegal. Harming or killing many people with inaccurate propaganda is a legal moneymaker…We need to do more than cataloguing the harms [there must be] legal consequences.” www.sleuthsayers.org/2025/09/murd...

I really like Van Hollen. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/13/u...

What. The. Fuck.

Pivoting from Civil War to Mental Health Awareness like the Spirit Halloween turning into a Spirit Christmas

Well this is disappointing. Wtf, Berkeley!?!
