Statement from Portland Oregon Mayor Keith Wilson "President Trump has directed 'all necessary Troops' to Portland, Oregon. The number of necessary troops is zero, in Portland and any other American city. - the president will not find lawlessness or violence here unless he plans to perpetrate it.”

With a new academic year just underway, time to remind all of great academic resisters here on Bluesky go.bsky.app/5hEmcTw go.bsky.app/5UzhWQR

This is the guy who’s supposedly buying Tik Tok. What could go wrong?

I’m old enough to remember when declaring war on your own citizens was frowned upon

Happening now: at the Broadview ICE facility outside Chicago, Border Patrol Commander Greg Bovino and other CBP/ICE agents emerge to patrol Beach Street and escort a vehicle out. They ordered people out of the street, walked to the end of it and then back to the fence.

This is the official communication from the FDA to physicians on acetaminophen use in pregnancy. - They acknowledge the lack of a causal link with autism - Essentially tell physicians to keep doing what we've been doing anyway It's very different from the press conference. Pass it on.

I have approximately zero following on this app, sharing in the hopes it can get in front of the right person. A man I went to college with’s wife was kidnapped by ICE at a green card hearing, and he’s trying to find a reporter who will speak to him about the situation

Millions of Americans marched against the US invading Iraq under the false pretence of weapons of mass destruction. How many Americans will march against the US invading itself under the false pretence of domestic terrorism?

Allowed myself two tries on the other (stronger/injured) side—the difference is obvious to me, and probably to you? #pd

These are the top 5 questions/concerns I’ve gotten about the press conference on autism: -the “Harvard” study tho -what about “trusting the science”? -shouldn’t we warn people even if it’s just a correlation? -but Tylenol said don’t take it! -Hep B vaccine for newborns Asked and answered 👇

I’m so excited to share this with you all!!!!! @alyssaburgart.com and I have been working on this for a long time. We noticed there was a shortage of podcasts…or, a shortage of podcasts with accurate information, anyway, especially featuring women’s voices. Welcome to The Present Illness! 1/2

A man was just chased and arrested outside of the Broadview ICE facility in Chicago. When legal observers from the National Lawyers Guild asked why, an agent threatened to arrest them too.

Dearest Martha, I write from the front lines of war-torn Portland. Today I fought bravely through a hostile farmers market, narrowly surviving a volley of kombucha bottles. Supplies of pour-over coffee and oat milk run low. Clouds of artisanal incense fill the sky, the drum circles beat incessantly

I’ve been eying this croissant for a while, and I finally tried it. It’s as good as it looks!

Re-upping this viral video of mine from a couple of years ago on why, no matter what women do, it’s never quite right, never quite enough.

Shocking, this poor woman has been through such a lot. 😞😢

Since Charlie Kirk’s assassination, HBCUs received terroristic threats. Black students have been expelled or forced to withdraw. Black professors and teachers have been fired and placed on leave. A Black firefighter was placed on leave. A Black journalist was fired thebarbedwire.com/2025/09/26/f...

this woman has been working at Nintendo for almost 20 years and nearly a decade longer than the guy she is replacing how much more qualified does she have to be lol

The superintendent they just kidnapped is a former Olympic athlete who runs footraces with the kids from his schools while wearing a maroon suit and a bowtie. This is quite simply about the people in power feeling threatened by Black excellence.

Medical scholars say efforts to find a singular cause for autism has historically led to scrutinizing parents and fueling stigma.

And remember, the reason he wanted separate vaccines wasn't due to any science, but because *he'd filed a patent application for a single measles vaccine*. It was just grifting.

Both Sinclair and Nexstar caved. There’s a lesson here for would-be leaders, including university presidents.

This scenery ❤️

As others have noted, this type of violence from ICE agents is what is turning people against them, not statements from democratic politicians. If they don’t want to be called Nazis or Gestapo, they should stop acting like them.

Seventeen weeks later, and here’s a little sequence I worked on. The Ls are more like Vs, but I’ll take it! #handstands

Had to catch my mom up on the week’s events last night, and these are just the highlights from Monday to Wednesday, not even all the things that have happened! None of this is normal, and we must not become accustomed to this.

He’s so very strong, such a masculine man, the most masculine of them all. But also how dare you make him walk up stairs? He could have fallen and injured himself! The audacity.

We have a “preventative treatment” for measles. It’s called a vaccine.

🚨BREAKING NEWS: Congresswoman files articles of impeachment against RFK Jr. We've been sounding the alarm for months, sending 3k+ quack-o-grams, and collecting 25k petition signatures calling on our reps to impeach & remove RFK Jr. We’re closing in on him. Help us WIN the fight. 🦆 zurl.co/vkZQV

You've heard me talk about it. You've seen me write about it. And now it's your chance to pre-order my forthcoming book Coverage Denied! Combining survey & administrative data with extensive interviews, my book highlights the harms caused by coverage barriers. Hope you'll read it! cup.org/4nfM2IM

Yes, and yet these are the types of things people are saying in my comments, acting as though their words are equivalent to those of major medical societies.

If you must get medical information from a politician, at least let it be from one who seems to understand what the research actually says.

We have people in power making broad claims around certain drugs and autism that have been continuously disproven.

Applications close tomorrow for residency! I’m eager to apply to more General Surgery & Urology programs, but funds are running low. Every bit helps me march toward a categorical spot! 💸 Venmo: jbrisbon1181 gofund.me/d1e282cf0 Please donate, share, and help—time is running out!

Yes, HHS and the WH posted a tweet from Tylenol from 2017 saying not to take Tylenol if you’re pregnant. But the statement from Tylenol THIS WEEK is consistent with what experts are saying, which is that science suggests Tylenol is safe to take during pregnancy. The govt is misleading the public.

What a weird-ass Rapture. Only the Constitution disappeared.

There are people all over my comments saying “the Harvard study” and accusing me of not “trusting science” because I refuted the lies from the press conference on Monday. I keep trying to tell them this, synthesizing data across studies, is how we actually trust the science.

NEW: Nature trained AI to predict which NIH grants from 2014 would have been cut if the Trump admin had its way back then — and what science would have been lost to history. "The results show the damage that cuts in funding can do to research, and the unpredictable nature of the research process."

Speaking of voices under attack…can we be just as loud about Black journalists and comedians who are silenced, even by our so-called liberal outlets. • Joy Reid • Don Lemon • Melissa Harris-Perry • Tiffany Cross • Jemele Hill • Marc Lamont Hill • Karen Attiah • Amber Ruffin

This is huge: “A drug that provides near-perfect protection against H.I.V. with shots just twice a year will be made available at $40 per patient annually in low- and middle-income countries, offering new hope… making lenacapavir a realistic choice in countries with constrained resources.”

🧵 Who's the most informed about American politics? Very lefty seculars. My new FREE study @sfjournal.bsky.social finds atheists/agnostics, especially if they are politically sorted, score higher on knowledge of basic civics & current politics than other groups. 1/ academic.oup.com/sf/advance-a...
