I fell hard for @lauriestories.bsky.social's "The Aviator and the Showman" and you will, too: it's a glorious work of narrative nonfiction. Out next week from @vikingbooks.bsky.social. Here's my review for @latimes.com: www.latimes.com/entertainmen...

The United States government is no longer able to protect us from real hazards, such as flash floods, because it’s shifting funds to fake hazards, such as a non-existent immigrant crime wave. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/05/u...

The first of many But…those emails

They took $45 million from FEMA to build the Alligator Alcatraz concentration camp that flooded on day 1. In North Carolina, they denied us more FEMA funds. Now we know why.

The grift never ends

Let’s not mince words: these are concentration camps in the Everglades And yes those are cages

Posted on X from the Dept. of Homeland security for Alligator Alcatraz How is this tolerated by a single democrat?

Currently reading… The Black Angels (74th book of 2025) #Booksky 📚

Can I get a hallelujah? 😇😉

The US led the way in fighting malnutrition, and USAID provided a miracle peanut paste that brings kids back from the brink -- until now. Starvation is a problem that we can actually solve, but we're now retreating from the fight. Here's what I found in West Africa: www.nytimes.com/2025/06/18/o...

With all these Feds in masks, MAGA has to be concerned. Remember during Covid they all thought it was unhealthy and you rebreathe diseases! Make Agents Healthy Again!

Charlatans running the country

"If you saw all this in any other country — soldiers sent to crush dissent, union leaders arrested, opposition politicians threatened — it would be clear that autocracy had arrived."

I was a medic at the Santa Ana protests in OC today. I watched police fire tear gas, flash bangs, & rubber bullets into crowds of men, women, & children. Other medics and I were clearly marked with red crosses, and the police were targeting us. One of the most fucked up things I’ve ever seen.

Trump’s America👇 Guys raging over a street sign for the Black Angels & my book that tells their story This fury is born from a culture that fears truth, science, & Black history I share this b/c I refuse to let them erase these women again @nadinesmith.bsky.social @madhupai.bsky.social

Gillibrand’s phone lines are wide open today too Tell her New York women deserve to go to work without being groped and sexual assault doesn’t belong in Gracie Mansion She stood for survivors in Minnesota what about her own constituents in NYC?

NSF grant funding has been cut in half. What does it mean for science? Plus, how a new blood test helps diagnose Alzheimer’s—and what its limitations are:

During #WW1, artists like Anna Coleman Ladd created masks for disfigured soldiers. The metal was painted with hard enamel to resemble the recipient's skin tone. Ladd used real hair to create the eyelashes, eyebrows and moustaches. Had it not been for her efforts, many would have lived in isolation.

There’s no bottom

When Americans raised concerns about RFK Jr.'s anti-vaccine views, he said he was "not gonna take away vaccines from anybody." But now he's taking them away from millions of mommas and babies. Vaccine recommendations should be based on science, not RFK Jr.'s political agenda.

Bone-chilling read "Better for Americans to be as gullible & easily manipulated as the people who buy brain pills from right-wing podcasts, use ivermectin to treat COVID, or believe that vaccines are “weapons of mass destruction” www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Get it anyway. They don’t recommend it? That doesn’t mean they forbid it. Yet. Find an ethical doctor who will give it to you and/or your kid anyway. Or lie.

The snake oil salesman RFK shilling for his friend

Line 2. Dehumanizing. Depraved. Depressing.

⭐️SALE⭐️ Read abt the Black Angels who risked their lives caring for TB patients during a dreadful time in history: the pre-antibiotic age of the Great Depression in country entrenched in the horror of Jim Crow And helped cure TB And were forgotten @nadinesmith.bsky.social @madhupai.bsky.social

DURBIN: How can we give hope to people across the country who are suffering from so many diseases when our government is cutting back on that research? RFK Jr: I do not know about any cuts to ALS research D: I just read them to you! R: I didn't know about them until you told me about them

This viral AI generated amateur “historical” video is full of dangerous misinformation abt the Black Angels For example, the nurses weren’t allowed to wear masks & they are no longer erased & so much more Please stop believing these videos Read the full story in my book @nadinesmith.bsky.social

it would be cool if some members of the mainstream media cared as much about this administration lying about who's running the agency dismantling the federal government as they do about the former president’s age

Nicole Saraniero writes NYC has named a street honoring the "Black Angels," nurses who risked their lives treating TB patients when others wouldn't, capturing the emotional reunion of surviving nurses and descendants at Sea View Hospital. #History

Virginia Allen, one of the last living Black Angels, on the street naming, TB & the cure "It’s significant not only for Staten Island & the nurses that worked there, but for the world” Read their story in my book: The Black Angels 📕 @nadinesmith.bsky.social @johngreensbluesky.bsky.social

Something good for your morning. (And read the book: I wrote about it for @stoptbusa.bsky.social 's monthly TBWire...and then we did another article on it from a different board member. Lots of perspectives with the same message: #WorthReading

I hoped my book would help the Black Angels be seen for their work during a dreadful time in history: the pre-antibiotic age of the Great Depression in country entrenched in the horror of Jim Crow Yesterday it happened Share their story @nadinesmith.bsky.social @johngreensbluesky.bsky.social

Stop normalizing this. It’s not a “deal.” It’s a mess made from a deranged felon cosplaying as president who’s now trying to clean it up. And the average American consumer is going to pay for it. Literally.

Kudos to @mariasmilios.bsky.social who recovered this important history and continues to push for this story to be told. It isn’t just a vital piece of history…it is just as relevant today as science takes a back seat to politics of hate and endangers us all. youtu.be/WQf6a-fs1Vo

Author Maria Smilios joins The Five 8 1/2 to discuss her book, ‘The Black Angels’ ‘Part of it is this willful ignorance, this belief in anti-science, that is kind of mind-boggling.’ @mariasmilios.bsky.social @nadinesmith.bsky.social @thelisagraves.bsky.social youtube.com/watch?v=WQf6...

I had the best time talking with @thelisagraves.bsky.social @nadinesmith.bsky.social about the black Angels in history and how this administration is trying to erase and reshape our country with bogus narrative
