If you think Tylenol is bad for children’s health, wait until you see what guns do.

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

🚨🚨Urgent communiqué from our colleagues in Gaza! 🚨🚨 “This is an urgent message from Gaza health system. We need an urgent advocacy campaign to protect the people and the hospitals- three more hospitals in North Gaza including the Jordanian frield Hospital has been taken out of service.

No data, no problem? Past time to organize with the @poorpeoplesarmy.bsky.social, build up unions and orgs of the working class!

This is why they’re deleting studies

In case you needed any more convincing. Israel is committing #genocide in #Gaza!! www.cnn.com/2025/09/16/m... (@bsky.app are we allowed to say #genocide??? now that the UN said it? or are you going to ban my account again?)

If you read one article today, what @unitednationsbk.bsky.social and all of us can do to stop genocide (psst #boycott Amazon, Google and Microsoft) www.aljazeera.com/opinions/202...

Leading global experts just confirmed what we’ve long known: Gaza is in famine. At least half a million Palestinians are facing starvation, acute malnutrition and death. And it’s likely to spread. The U.S. government is not a bystander to this genocide. We can end it today.

Game on.

I honestly did not even clock until my spouse pointed it out that he is holding the same brand of potato chips in the beginning that Eric Adams’ advisor was caught stuffing bribe money into 🤌

People protest around the world as Israel continues push to seize Gaza City where famine has been declared.

Workers are weeding in the lettuce fields. The roads are very long and they carry a bag to put the weeds in. Temps reached 84° day on CAs Central Coast. The workers are still wearing long sleeves to avoid exposure to the Sun and pesticides. #WeFeedYou

I cannot emphasize enough that the playbook being used against mRNA vaccines (and vaccines in general) is IDENTICAL to the playbook used to restrict voting rights after the 2020 election: actively sow public distrust, then cite the distrust you sowed as an independent reason for your desired policy

Ahem

Exclusive: CDC Director Susan Monarez met with its vaccine-focused center to talk about yesterday’s shooting. I listened to a recording. Scientists and officials are shaken & pointing fingers at RFK Jr. Many said his vilification and misinfo turned them into targets. www.msnbc.com/opinion/anal...

If you think a golden ballroom is more important than childhood cancer research… I have nothing left to say to you. Please unfollow me. #pediatriccancer #cancermom

We see officials saying #COVID cases are rising but healthy kids don’t need to worry. This study found reinfection doubles the risk of Long COVID in kids. Sincerely, families who believed you when you said our kids weren’t at risk — and now they’re disabled.

If I have to explain to you why it's a bad idea to use a machine that makes shit up 15-80% of the time AND destroys the environment AND contributes to rising fascism and genocide AND puts brilliant skillful creatives out of work by stealing their work, then we're already speaking different languages

Break the selective silence on the genocide in Gaza - The Lancet www.thelancet.com/journals/lan... Time for medicine to break the silence and stop punishing us for speaking out about G@z@ genoc1de!

One was beaten unconscious. Others were covered in bruises, struggling to walk or vomiting blood. Another said he’d been sexually assaulted. These are the stories of 16 former detainees who were deported to El Salvador’s mega prison.

110% tax on all income over $200k

It should never be controversial to speak up about mass starvation. Having regular access to safe and nutritious food is a human right.

We are starving Gaza to death We are starving Gaza to death We are starving Gaza to death We are starving Gaza to death If we don’t stop Israel now, with #armsembargo and #sanctions they will mass murder 2 million Palestinians and there will be blood on all of our hands.

🧵 Mass General Brigham (MGB) is a world-renowned, Harvard-affiliated hospital system. MGB claims to care about underserved communities, both local and global. Why then is genocidal war profiteer James Taiclet, the CEO of Lockheed Martin, on its Board of Directors? 1/

Nothing says #July4 like a big juicy slice of watermelon. This yummy fruit doesn't just appear on our picnic table. It takes a lot of work. An average watermelon weighs 20 pounds. Can you imagine harvesting them in a 98° Bakersfield area field like these workers?

By 2029, 1.22 million healthcare jobs could be lost due to Medicaid and SNAP cuts in the "Big Beautiful Bill." www.commonwealthfund.org/publications...

“Are the great principles of political freedom and of natural justice, embodied in that Declaration of Independence, extended to us?” Fredrick Douglas asked in his iconic 1852 address. This 4th of July, many ask this same question. The answer is up to all of us. www.commondreams.org/opinion/4th-...

Here’s @mediaitenews.bsky.social rightly calling out NYT for what it just tried to do to @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social 👇🏽 Trying to turn hacked materials and a nothingburger about his ethnicity on a 15 year-old application into a scandal… is itself the scandal. www.mediaite.com/media/news/n...

The greatest irony of all is that we can all probably agree that one thing Steve Bannon once said was 1000% right. The enemy in the American political landscape is not Democrats or Republicans. It is the media…

For once the comments sections are gems…

real glad we spent two fucking years pretending the real antisemitism was students asking their colleges to divest from apartheid

“The election is 16 months away. Our response to the worst piece of legislation in modern American history cannot be ‘go vote in 16 months.’” - @ezralevin.bsky.social with @weeknightmsnbc.bsky.social

Measles Update📈 There are 1,267 confirmed cases of #measles in the US. That's 8 shy of the total in 2019, which had the highest number of cases since the disease was eliminated in 2000. There were 285 cases in 2024. That's a 345%, of 4.45-fold increase this year. And we're only halfway through.

The next (final?) shoe is about to drop for journalists. This is devastating -- and it means it's more important than ever to diversify yourself if your career is in writing.

Wow. The EPA has placed 144 employees on administrative leave after the workers signed a public letter criticizing EPA leadership for disregarding scientific expertise and rolling back environmental and public health protections.

It's simple. No money to fascists like Elon Musk. T-Mobile's Starlink partnership is a dirty deal and it's not too late to drop them. @teslatakedown.com #muskmustfall

In a watershed moment in the fight to hold corporations accountable for complicity in Israel’s war crimes, A.P. Møller Maersk has become the first global shipping company to halt the transport of goods to and from Israeli settlements. mondoweiss.net/2025/06/mask...

JIST NOW: Alaska Republican Senator @lisamurkowski sells out the people #TrumpsTrillionsTransfer

Medicaid keeps 1 in 5 people in our country alive—including veterans, kids, and disabled elders. Call lawmakers and urge them to not to support the budget bill. People will die. 202-978-5357 prismreports.org/2025/06/18/m...

A sitting U.S. Congressman is demanding the deportation of a U.S. citizen because he doesn’t like a democratic election result.

Your future is on the line. Call your senator: 202-224-3121. #BillionaireBailoutBill

Yes, Republicans are making a bunch of changes to their Big, Bad Betrayal Bill. But the bottom line is still that they’re kicking millions off health care and taking food away from the hungry so their billionaire buddies can pay less in taxes.

Anti-DEI is about re-segregation and the erasure of Black and Brown people. Every day brings another example of the blatantly racist agenda of this policy. eji.org/news/fearing...
