What might not occur to you upon reading this headline is that, in other words, ICE is targeting gay men of color Every queer press org should be picking up this story

Hey America: we are now on the Human Rights Watchlist.

It's a pretty big deal that the NYC Bar Association--one of the most prominent and respected bar associations in the country--is accusing the President of ordering the "unlawful summary execution," i.e. murder--of civilians in violation of US and international law. www.nycbar.org/press-releas...

CDC has finally adopted the recommendations its vaccine panel made Sept. 19. This should increase access to Covid vaccines somewhat — CVS and Walgreens had said once the recs were official, they'd offer the shots w/o Rx nationwide, and Vaccines for Children program also needed the official approval

PAY ATTENTION: ICE is filing fake 911 calls in Chicago, weaponizing emergency services to provoke local police. Ordinary citizens would be charged with a felony. ICE calls it strategy.

Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.

Turning the military on citizens. Attempting to rig elections. Toying with the idea of declaring martial law. Attacking political enemies and punishing those who speak out. If this were happening in another country, what would you call it?

PSA: If reading wasn’t political, they wouldn’t be banning books.

Bonta: Just minutes before the hearing, we got word that the Texas National Guard has been federalized. We asked the judge to issue a broad order — one that applies to every National Guard unit in every state — stating that none of them can be deployed to Oregon. She issued that order

DHS appears to suggest that it will deny citizenship to "globalists"

Tons of respect for Greta Thunberg and the flotillas. I know Thunberg wants us all to focus on the genocide and ethnic cleansing, but allow us a moment to acknowledge your courage. Caring for yours is easy, and we share that with fascists. Caring for the stranger? That's the level up.

Weird thing where people say “no one could have predicted it” when really what they mean is their political commitments and orientation were such that they ignored everyone who was predicting it Sorry but “no one could have“ and you having your head stuck up your ass are two different situations

"Leave it to the states" the GOP said. Right. #ReproductiveFreedom #MomSky

My husband was detained by ICE today Juan Muñoz, an American citizen, father of 2, and local government official, was peacefully protesting w. other elected officials. He was assaulted and taken away I have had zero contact or updates since #SOS @duckworth.senate.gov @durbin.senate.gov

Well said

I suppose no one should be surprised that 2 weeks before #NoKingsDay 2.0 there are ALREADY more events scheduled than there were at the first event in June. Check them out here: www.nokings.org

Despite These Times...my department is hiring! I really like my department, we have a good mix of disciplines and organisms and we're really low-drama. We also get pizza at faculty meeting. So if you're a computational and structural biologist, join us! 🧪 jobs.rutgers.edu/postings/260...

The CDC recently warned about a surge in antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Why, then, did the EPA cancel a groundbreaking project to study these bacteria and how to fight them? 🧪

NEW: Across various platforms, more than TWO MILLION people are currently watching livestreams of the Global Sumud Flotilla. It appears an illegal interception by Israeli forces is now underway.

Donald Trump shut down the government because he doesn't want you to have healthcare. But this isn’t just on him. Democrats MUST use their leverage to protect our rights, but it can’t end there. Schumer and Jeffries can’t just go on TV or write letters, they need clear demands. We need action now.

Raskin: "It's not lost on anyone that shutting the government down allows them not swear in our new colleague, Ms Grijalva from Arizona, who would be the 218th signature to discharge the Epstein files and to put a vote on that on the House floor."

Folks — this is not a normal government shutdown. Let me explain the stakes and how we got here.

An icon and beacon of light has departed. 😢 RIP to Jane Goodall, one of my idols.

100% It’s still a strange feeling to live this in this schism of reality when one cares so much and no one else immediately around us appears to get it.

We can’t go more than a couple of days without spectacular violence, can we? 😞

This is a demonstration of how powerful the right wing misinformation machine is. They take a phrase or a word some Democrat said, attach the worst possible interpretation to it, and repeat their view of it THOUSANDS of times until even liberals remember it the way conservatives want them to.

If the political crisis in the U.S. happened in a Third World country, the New York Times would write a story headlined “(Country X) Is Fast Becoming a Dictatorship.” So why not that headline for the U.S.?

okay, I think that as someone who has thought a lot about far-right politics and American healthcare, I’ve been pretty ready for the current moment. but this… I literally do not even know what public health can do about this. I don’t even know where to start

Ive seen LLMs pushed a lot to fellow #adhd students and scholarship to "help" them with things like detail work and structuring work. Ive also seen many punished for trusting this offer of help too. Here's what to use instead: #academicsky

NEW: All eyes have been on RFK Jr. since a gunman, believing the mRNA vaccine had harmed him, shot up the CDC campus on August 8. But a number of Trump public health officials have spent years attacking the CDC and fear-mongering about the COVID vaccines. We documented them in this big report.

Critical point 👇🏻. Measles will come roaring back in the coming months, with ever-larger outbreaks. Other vaccine-preventable disease will too. We are at the dawn of a massive public health crisis. World leaders don’t realize what’s coming. Didn’t even mention it at #UNGA. We’re in so much trouble.

How is it in any way acceptable for him/them to behave this deceptively and hypocritically?

I'm excited to share our review "Rationalizing recommendations for influenza and COVID-19 vaccines", which we feel makes a strong case for universal influenza and COVID-19 vaccination policies. With almost 500 references & 8 supplementary tables it's a beast so let me break it down for you....1/n

Call me old fashioned, but if you can’t pronounce the name of a drug, you should not be making policies to restrict it.

people.com/violet-affle... Violet Affleck is an amazing ambassador for young people. There are alot of leaders who should listen to this young lady. #CleantheAir

When is the last time a Black person called the cops on a white person for being white? It only happens to people of color. Here award-winning screenwriter, Alex O’Keefe is on a train going to CT and a white woman apparently thought the train was supposed to be “whites only.”

Attempting to rig elections on his behalf. Turning the military on citizens. Toying with the idea of declaring martial law. Attacking political enemies and punishing those who speak out against his regime. If this were happening in another country, what would you call it?

Disney didn’t just incur a $3.8 billion loss overnight. If the boycott continues, it could escalate to over $20 billion. This is how you combat fascism.

The PC fan air cleaner above is described in our article on Healthy Debate /2

Cleaner air isn't a personal health choice, it's something that needs the broad mandate of the state to accomplish. But we'll never get there as a society (despite the tech being relatively simple), because we've been brainwashed by a neoliberal health ideology that's centred on individual choices.

In a Q&A with STAT, Nobel winner Drew Weissman addressed concerns raised about Covid shots at a recent meeting of federal vaccine advisers. www.statnews.com/2025/09/20/d...

Some well-known anti-vaxers are making claims that the ribosome slip/frameshift causes a stop codon to be missed and an own mitochondrial protein to be made, risking autoimmunity. It´s important to know that the mRNA in COVID-19 vaccines do not contain other protein codes. (X 6/12/2023) 1/4
