I’ve cared for young women dying of cervical cancer. It’s devastating and largely preventable now with the HPV vaccine. When a vaccine prevents cancer, the question isn’t whether to re-examine it, it’s why would we hesitate? #medsky #oncsky #obgynsky

Water bosses in England exploiting bonus loophole face crackdown. We have heard that before. Companies circumvent rules. Fines announced but not paid. Let customers elect directors, vote on exec pay. Deny corporate tax relief on exec pay above £x.

Measles Outbreak in South Carolina Linked to Brain Swelling in Kids Several children have come down with serious complications like encephalitis and pneumonia, state health officials reported this week. gizmodo.com/measles-outb... Yes, there are serious complications with measles!

One thing evident in the blasted epstein dump: rich people sure do love getting free shit. They could have afforded every thing that monster gave them, and yet they happily traded their souls for swag. Wealth corrupts. Hoarding wealth is a sickness. Tax the rich. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/07/o...

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition. Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

I'd like to see ppl support UBI rather than use AI as an answer to income and time resource inequality. I grew up extremely poor and AI would not have been the solution for my economic and housing instability.

It's been heartbreaking seeing so many people I know use ChatGPT to generate "caricatures" when I am married to a living, breathing caricaturist. This technology was built off theft. It's soulless & bland. Here's caricatures by @tealcartoons.bsky.social to remind people what human art looks like.

We gotta come up with a better system than “everything rests on whether these twelve billionnaires are nice”

I don't think it's hyperbole to say that the only way to ensure a free and just society for our children and grandchildren is to enact policies as soon as possible that tax billionaires out of existence, removes their influence from politics, and breaks up the companies they've consolidated.

This thread... I mean, if you are in a senior government position, and knowingly leak sensitive information to, well, anyone... thats straight up being a traitor, no?

Snowstorms are more than just an inconvenience for wheelchair users. Inadequate snow clean-ups means a loss of autonomy for many. New for me at @motherjones.com www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Stunning and baffling that video from security cameras is not available yet. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

This is unreal. An AUSA talking like that in open court is about as close as you can come to a total breakdown. Never heard of anything like it.

There's no such thing as "underage women" - they're children. That's the word we already have, because that's what they are. Children. Also, for the record, there's no such thing as "sex with a child". The word we already have for that is rape. A child cannot consent to sex. So it's rape.

Dozens of workers at Royal Mail-owned eCourier claim they are classed wrongly as self-employed. Workers miss out on minimum wage, holiday pay. Employers dodge national insurance contributions. Plans designed by highly paid execs living in leafy suburbs. Royal Mail is owned by a billionaire.

death by preventable disease is an inevitable and even desired outcome of concentration camps. in every era of concentration camps people have died of typhus, which is a disease of privation and enforced crowding. this illness is intentionally inflicted

I know term’s really getting underway so if you’ve got recent qualitative data you’d like transcribed—or you’re well into plans to publish your podcast or vlog and need captions—my social enterprise team are ready to help

"Four hours after his arrest, he was taken to a hospital emergency room in Edina with swelling and bruising around his right eye and bleeding. A CT scan revealed at least eight skull fractures and life-threatening hemorrhages in at least five areas of his brain..." apnews.com/article/immi...

A bystander took a heart-wrenching picture of Liam Ramos in his hat and Spiderman backpack, and there was pressure, and he and his father are free. We must not forget all the prisoners still in the camps whose names and faces are known only to their loved ones. We must make miracles for them, too.

This morning, federal agents staged at the Powderhorn Park Recreation Center lot and began to throw chemical irritants at observers. They also kidnapped an observer. Our parks are meant for our children, youth, and neighbors. They should never be militarized zones meant to separate families. 1/

ICE has been holding a disabled Black man for a year! Rodney Taylor is a double amputee who was days away from receiving new prosthetic legs when ICE took him. He’s been denied his prosthetics & placed in solitary. His health is declining. Public outrage might save his life. Say his name:

We're all so used to Trump's constant rallies now we don't really talk about how fucking weird they are anymore. He's been holding ego-stroking rally events since 2016. Over 900 of them...for a DECADE. Same goes for his merch. It's not normal, but it's been normalized to the point of invisibility.

A woman reported being raped by her boyfriend who was a police officer. She ended up being charged instead. Another example of ACAB and how they close ranks to protect their own. This is an appalling miscarriage of justice that will dissuade victims from coming forward

Kicking a tail light isn’t grounds for a public execution Blowing a whistle isn’t grounds for a public execution Filming, yelling, name calling aren’t grounds for a public execution. Carrying a gun isn’t grounds for a public execution. ICE cannot be judge, jury & executioner.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

If you're a nail polish person, the MN-based small polish maker Atomic Polish is selling Ice Out, and 100% of the proceeds of it are going to the Immigrant Rapid Response Fund

Boycott the World Cup Not a foot should be set in that country until the madness stops

Sharing from Alice Wong's IG account. Alice's Celebration of Life will be on March 25, 2026.

In October, ICE grabbed Maher Tarabishi. He was a 24/7 caregiver for his disabled son Wael. At the time of Maher’s detention, disability advocates warned that taking away Wael’s caregiver put his life at risk. Wael died on Friday at age 30. ICE caused his death. They didn’t get to say goodbye.

It's really too bad the United States Congress no longer exists.

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

The people who spent years defending and even lionizing Kyle Rittenhouse and Ashli Babbitt now want us to believe that an unarmed mother in her car and a disarmed nurse were domestic terrorists who deserved to be murdered by law enforcement.

The nurses are pissed

If you're living somewhere outside the USA, one thing you can do is pressure your leaders to boycott World Cup and Olympic events here.

Imagine how much they’d be lying about what happened without all the videos showing it from multiple angles.

Just want to point out Richard Nixon got impeached for bugging a hotel room. Donald Trump is literally sending his private army out to murder US citizens.

No. They do not "appear to" contradict it. They contradict it.

Just a reminder, a whistleblower revealed that ICE is being told to ignore the 4th amendment and barge into our homes.

Voted for ICE funding

The Shingles vaccine has outperformed all expectations. Why? erictopol.substack.com/p/spotlight-...

Republicans will defend a 5 year old boy being taken on his way home from preschool. Republicans will defend a 15 year old girl being sex trafficked to men. Republicans will defend a woman presenting no threat being shot. What the hell are we doing here? Shut. It. Down.

DO NOT PLUG SPACE HEATERS INTO POWER STRIPS DO NOT PLUG SPACE HEATERS INTO POWER STRIPS DO NOT PLUG SPACE HEATERS INTO ANYTHING BUT A GROUNDED, WALL SOCKET

This is where we are: the chair of Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices is questioning the #polio vaccine. Have we forgotten polio wards? Children in iron lungs. Vaccines stopped this. Questioning them risks bringing it back. How does this Make America Healthy? We should all be terrified.

This is what fascism looks like. Use the word. https://www.pbs.org/newshour/nation/immigration-officers-claim-sweeping-power-to-enter-homes-without-a-judges-warrant-memo-says

In the words of John Lewis, it's time for "good trouble." If you're a Minnesotan, I urge you to join tomorrow's Ice Out For Good economic blockout and exercise your collective power. And if you're not, organize in solidarity and demand our leaders stand up to ICE. https://iceoutforgood.org/

Renee Good is dead. She was killed by ICE. Marimar Martinez has permanent injuries from being shot 5 times. Geraldo Campos was killed in ICE custody. 1,200 people are missing from Alligator Alcatraz & 2025 was the deadliest year on record. Yet these Dems gave them MORE money.

I cannot emphasize this enough. If you live in a city, ICE IS COMING TO YOU. Get to know your neighbors now. Start signal chats now. Figure out what you can do well and get to it. See what other cities have done and well and replicate it.
