What They Don't Want You to Know About Ebola. Three Big Things. Part II. The thread continues! www.the-sentinel-intelligence.net/what-they-do... The fools in charge don’t want to spend money on Ebola prevention or precautions.

I truly believe this man could heal the world

For Trump, Massie was perhaps the biggest target of all.

No sales yet, but extra hoping because I am behind on 2 bills. I just want to be able to pay them & also, help other people & animals. Big goal.

paid subs are $50/yr, $5/month. without them I can't keep writing, so please consider helping me to keep writing!

BREAKING: It's against the law for Trump to sue himself--& then settle for a huge sum. The court has the power to put a stop to these shenanigans & should do so. @mattplatkin.bsky.social & we @democracydefendersaction.org are proud to rep over 90 members of Congress in filing a brief fighting back

If you can chip in, please do. Unexpected expenses of ANY kind are awful, but add in the stress of being in physical danger, and it makes dealing with any of it incredibly difficult.

I got stopped in the grocery store yesterday with a compliment for my Plant Native Plants shirt - the merch is awesome

This tweet, for a Ross Barkan story that copied my lede and reporting, now has more than 10x the views of the original. Ross hasn't apologized or acknowledged it; maybe he's just waiting for me to shut up. Without any explanation, I'm left to wonder how many times he's done this

Watching yet another bullshit legacy media plagiarism scandal unfold and I am just hopping mad about all the incredibly talented writers, reporters, photographers, and editors out there who love their work and have integrity and are scrabbling for a dwindling number of freelance assignments.

Ask your doctor if the Honey Badger is right for you.

Thousands are marching in Selma calling for a full restoration of the voting rights act.

still not quite over the fact that i watched 15 year olds get sued for millions of dollars for downloading twelve songs and now we all have to accept AI slop because every tech company in the known universe decided that IP laws don't exist now that they're inconvenient for them

A…stunning campaign launch. "My dad got cancer & my mom's employer collapsed. The executives got paid & the workers got screwed. She didn't have the heart to tell us, even when the bank took the house…when she took her own life, the eviction notice was in her pocket." @ahlmanfornebraska.bsky.social

Feeling overwhelmed with all of this. LISTEN. Another Louisiana resident (Marshawn is the only name we have) testifies against the state’s racial gerrymander, speaking truth to power up and down the hearing room and predicts how this story will end. Speak your truth, fight and believe.

🚨 The NYT appears to have taken a great feature story written by my colleague at Bolts about a west Tennessee county & the VRA, & essentially rewritten it. (Same frame, similar hed, overlapping sources.) Without a single mention, credit, let alone the a hyperlink buried somewhere.

If anyone in or nearby Allen County, IN loves cats, this sweetie is named Dragon, has FeLV, and risks being euthanized. He’s currently living in a garage with no AC which isn’t sustainable as temperatures rise. He needs a foster or no-kill shelter spot stat: www.reddit.com/r/cats/s/Hrr...

Opinion | As a principled China hawk and longtime Republican, I will stand for nothing less than whatever Donald Trump is about to agree to, whatever that happens to be.

HERE WE GO! BABY COOT FEET! 🪶 🐣

In 2017, Criselda Vasquez painted this portrait of her parents and titled it "The New American Gothic." Last month, her father, the man in this portrait, was abducted by ICE after being in the US for 30+ years. The family is now struggling with bills. A GoFundMe has been started: gofund.me/456d8a193

END/ Hope this irony-laden thread helps break through the mental logjam for ppl. For anyone in the game of tech dev, this is just basic facts now. Read our polycrisis essay "For the first time in two centuries, the West is no longer the leader in future technology, but the follower."

Reminders for election season: 1. Don't lead with their lie. Even to rebut it, putting their attack first sets the frame. 2. Stop giving "broken clocks" shine. Validating Rogan or community notes when they’re right 1% of the time just helps them sell the other 99%.

🚨BREAKING: The U.S. Supreme Court (SCOTUS) has allowed Alabama to select a different map for this year’s congressional elections in a stunning, last-minute move to interfere with another state primary election that has already begun. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

The Sunday evening toast run with Squirrel

I often say that the fight for democracy is the fight of our generation. But let me be clear, if you aren’t fighting for Black voting rights right now then you aren’t really fighting for democracy.

Bumping this, as today (like all upcoming Sundays) is the drop off time if you’d like to contribute something

😾 '... suppress local dissent including using shell companies to prevent scrutiny, buying off neighbors near proposed sites, collaborating with...officials to “relegate protesters in out-of-sight staging areas”, & providing youth programming “to normalize datacenters in adjacent communities” '

I worked harder on this book than any before it. My ex-publisher then failed to pay me what they owed me for it & did their best to ruin its chances of survival. That robbed me of a year of my life & ruined my health. After all that, to see reviews like this one brings me close to tears too.

😻🧵

All of this. I’m going to be banging this drum every damn day

Hey Buckaroos. I am trying to put eyes on a friends GoFundMe for her sick kitty. Every bit helps. Thanks for your time. www.gofundme.com/f/help-star-...

This beauty is the Cat's Paw nebula, 4400 light years away in the constellation Scorpius. The bright stars are about a million years old -- babies in the celestial scheme of things. The image merges JWST's infrared vision with an x-ray view from Chandra. 🔭🧪 chandra.harvard.edu/blog/node/953

NASA has combined data from the greatest optical and x-ray observatories in space. The results are predictably spectacular. This is NGC 346, a cloud where newborn stars are bursting to life & shocking the nearby gas, creating a shimmer of x-rays (pink). 🔭🧪 chandra.harvard.edu/photo/2026/s...

They admit it

Another great piece from Liz Ginexi on how NIH has all but killed notices of funding opportunity. Including for congressionally mandated programs. This seems like a clear violation of Congress’s power of the purse. elizabethginexi.substack.com/p/release-th...
