I’m tired of pretending this is all normal. We’ve reached a point of no return. There is no more beyond this. This is the end. We can’t pretend to be okay with this. We don’t need words anymore. Words have expired. We need action. Globally. Something has got to change. It has to.

Because of the layoffs at NIOSH, multiple lifesaving programs have been shut down even though they’re required by law.

i would imagine hasan knows, rationally, not to talk in situations like this. he did anyway because cops of all stripes are very good at making you feel like in *just this one particular situation* it makes more sense to talk a bit. don't ever give in to that impulse.

“The Texas National Guard (TNG), which has around 23,000 members, signed its 287(g) task force agreement with ICE on April 11.”

Dr Oz says being healthy is a patriotic duty Worse, he says they spend 70% of Medicare & Medicaid funds on chronic illness & aren’t “getting their money’s worth” This is the quiet part said out loud. They don’t want to cure chronic illness, they want us to take the blame. They don’t want to pay.

60% of Americans have a chronic condition. Among people over 65, it's 95%. Saying most of our health care spending goes to chronic conditions is just another way of saying it goes to health care.

"Woke" -- changing norms through social pressure -- is not, contra the reactionary centrists, another form of tyranny. It's the *alternative* to tyranny. It's new norms winning through the marketplace of ideas. The alternative is what we see now: enforcing norms via the threat of state violence.

The masked ICE agents are in DC today, as rumored, whisking people off the street while covering their faces completely.

It's darkly funny how little attention the masked secret police receive. Last year it seemed that the chattering class would never shut up about masked undergraduates. Perhaps they saw the encampments as more of a threat to their interests than the jackboots?

Unironically, I think it has been a mistake to base critiques of the rich on their consumption rather than the power they have and could wield — which they would retain even if they chose to give more money to charity or bury some of their riches in the ground instead of buying yachts and such.

also you all need to see this, because this is something I don't think *anybody* could predict for where this ad goes

Trump policy: Newark loses its functioning airport and gains a concentration camp.

Some of you act like the concept of news was invented in the past twenty years. Do you really think people weren't familiar with Nazis or scammers before the Internet?

When they say “immigrants” they mean “servants” and when they say “expats” they mean “masters”

This was never met, and now we're having to refile thanks to lawyer mess-ups. $690 needed by May 5th to refile, PLEASE show up. I'm trying to get FREE of this BS, help me keep my child safe! Please!

$590 needed by Monday, May 5th! PLEASE, I have had VERY MINIMAL HELP on this, and I'm trying to keep my child HOUSED!

There is this very surreal feeling when you are planning out hopeful events for 5-6 months away while also stockpiling medication, checking your go bag, and making sure you are ready to leave your home at the drop of a hat. Also you are working all day like nothing is going on in the wider world.

VICTORY, THEY FUCKING PROVED THE COVID/MAST CELL LINK IS THE SPIKE PROTEIN I HAVE A CONCLUSIVE PAPER TO SHOW PEOPLE WHO WHINE AT ME ABOUT MY FUCKING DIPHENHYDRAMINE PRE-VACCINE ADVICE NOW

okay this is an emergency assistance thread for anyone who got this National Endowment for the Arts email today some of you can still get your money and I’m going to tell you how article to come later this weekend but here is the Cliffs Notes version:

THE entire NIOSH engineering group has been fired among most ALL of NIOSH. It is devastating. www.cbsnews.com/news/worker-...

shouldn't the 3 friends memes be pictures of 4 people hanging out, not 3. if there's just 3 people they each only have 2 friends

Another day of Bluesky deleting my share of the day before the day is up 🙄

ooo she sounds smart and hot wonder if she has a name!!!

I know many are desensitized to this since it has essentially been US policy since October 7 (not to mention before), but this is actually the most scandalous passage in the Fetterman piece. nymag.com/intelligence...

Guys I really would like Hadiah to get this- she’s in a lot of pain 💔

Gisele. Girl.

no one gets me like bilbo baggins when he said he felt thin, sort of stretched, like butter scraped over too much bread. go off king!!!

When you become chronically ill, your life can become very small. Losing your health & independence is hard. People abandon you. Healthcare gives up on you. Many of the things that brought you joy, or helped you earn a living, become inaccessible. Acceptance is hard, but necessary.

One of the biggest citizen science studies ever conducted — if you logged an eBird sighting in N. America in the last 14 years, this paper represents your work and this alarm is all of our responsibility to sound: Avian life is slipping away. 🌎🧪 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

I am one of the citizen scientists that participated in this massive labor of love and its conclusion is devastating—tell everyone.

So, right now, watching this kind of "philosophy" spitting out of RFK's mouth, I am livid. The past 30+ years of my life are thanks to medical science. I ended up in the emergency room, after months of faith healing, herbs, ketoacidosis & a near death experience in the spring of 1992.

Wrath keeps overtaking me everytime I think about RFK. Why? I'm a type 1 diabetic. I got it when I was 14. Guess what you need if you're a type 1 diabetic? Insulin. Or you die. But my family believed that it could be cured with herbs & faith healing. I had a near death experience when I was 14. 🧵

I’m a science educator/researcher and had my NSF CAREER grant terminated that supports students/teachers as climate justice action researchers. 40% of cuts came from education projects that seek to broaden access/opportunity in science. This is an attempt to gut science education/literacy in America

The people in Hungary have been protesting since 2010. Orban is still there. It’s going to take more.

In an executive order, President Trump directs the Corporation for Public Broadcasting to stop funding NPR and PBS, the nation's primary public broadcasters.

We are about to experience a supply chain crisis. If your pet takes a medication or requires a special food, consider stocking up on it now. Same for your meds and any equipment you might need for your medical needs, like CPAP equipment or syringes. (Only one company manufactures syringes in the US)

So, funny thing: growing up in about the blue-collarest area around (1980s Pittsburgh), I heard a lot of stories about how, long before the steel industry collapsed, the mill and factory workers were telling their kids to get an education so they didn't end up working at the mill like their old man.

Me just before I do a thing for the very first time: I'm going to be so good at this. I am about to discover my natural genius level talent and do the best job anybody has ever done Me just after I do the thing: This task brings no value to society and does not spark joy. It was never worth doing

I saw a post once about how spring cleaning historically was because of family-based canning. If a single speck of dust got into a can, it could spoil the food or kill everyone. There's a reason we don't all live on homesteads!

i feel like all the "just grow and preserve your own food" morons yapping on here are doing so bc they've never actually done either of those things, bc it is unbelievably easy to kill your family and yourself with improper food handling and canning techniques. you do not fuck around with botulism

you don't need chatGPT i am perfectly capable of drinking a bottle of water and lying to you

PBS and NPR were such a core part of not just my upbringing but also my identity. There’s so much good that especially PBS brings in children’s programming all over the U.S. My dad and I knew broadcast media was slowly dying but I don’t think either of us envisioned this type of ending for CPB.
