If the fossil fuel industry didn’t have our president and corporate America by the throat, we could have nice things like this too.

After making him suffer in an El Salvador torture prison, the Trump administration will stop at nothing to deport Kilmar Ábrego García. They're trying to take him from his family and home to a country he has zero connection to, a punishment for fighting for his rights. This is unjust and cruel.

this is how you do social media work on LGBT topics that are deemed controversial: you just...limit comments. If you don't have the bandwidth or can't moderate, you don't leave anything to moderate.

they never miss

I also find some folks complaining about the presence of Mexican flags at the LA protests comical when the territory we now call California was part of Mexico. I guess we have settler colonialism to thank for some Americans failing to acknowledge this part of history

The federal government is telling you they cannot afford to house you, feed you, educate you or heal you — but that they do have enough resources and scale to criminalize, assault, deport and incarcerate your neighbors simply going to work or taking their kids to graduation.

The crackdowns on civilians and the threat of the national guard being sent to LA should be *the* most important story right now-- not the Trump/Musk feud or whatever the f**k that was. People are being terrorized all over the country. News outlets need to get it together.

Trump has been turning hundreds of thousands of legal immigrants into "illegal" ones by stripping them of their lawful permission to be here. Not just Afghans, but also Venezuelans, Cubans, etc., and existing international students from around the world. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

Minnesota has opened four rail lines in the last two decades. Three of them quickly blew past their ridership expectations and have been nationally recognized as huge successes. I think 3/4 is a good success rate! www.startribune.com/amtraks-bore...

We are all going to die because they replaced scientists with worm-brained anti-vaxxer running a plagiarism machine

There's a lot of silence from immigration proponents who say "They need to follow the rules and immigrate the right way." ICE is currently nabbing people who have been following the legal process and are showing up for their regular court appointments.

“What is clear is that pregnant women, infants and young children are at higher risk of hospitalization from COVID, and the safety of the COVID vaccine has been widely demonstrated.” publications.aap.org/aapnews/news...

Vaccines were designed to keep people out of the hospital. Restricting access to boosters runs the risk of overwhelming the healthcare system. The public health messaging is confusing. They say this variant doesn’t appear “more severe” while also saying number of people in hospital has doubled.

BREAKING: Highly Contagious COVID Variant NB.1.8.1 Detected in California Amid Ongoing Vaccine Crackdown.

Today, HHS Secretary Robert Kennedy Jr announced new restrictions on the availability of the COVID vaccine for the 2025-2026 COVID season that run counter to the best available scientific evidence and sound public health practice. www.patreon.com/posts/130026...

Thank you @cbschicago for this reporting reflecting that actual experts do not agree with the new, more restrictive COVID-19 vaccine recommendations. Was a pleasure to contribute to this story. www.cbsnews.com/chicago/news...

3 guys, none with infectious disease or pedatric expertise, just ran roughshod over normal procedures to block COVID shots for kids, pregnant people. This is so awful & insane & we should treat it as such. Reporters, you're on notice. Both sides this at your peril & watch your credibitlity evaporate

Please get rid of those Ring and Blink cameras. They are the real snitches, sharing your footage with the federalis. Yall knowing paying to be apart of a police state.

5 years since the start of the pandemic and it is frustrating that we still need to keep repeating: vaccines, masks, tests, and cleaning the air all play roles in reducing transmission. Wrongly claiming that any of these layers isn’t important is an anti-science stance.

Mask 😷 the working class because we have no national health care, c19 never went away, and they won't tell us what's coming next. Unmask 👀 the Proud Boys bc we need to know who they are so we can ostracize them like you're supposed to with Nzi fucks.

the counter to "leftists are mean" is "obviously not mean enough"

Aside from the fact that anyone can get seriously ill from COVID, a key point they are deliberately hiding when removing access is that COVID vaccines reduce transmission. People choose to get vaccinated to protect other people. It is wrong and harmful to take that choice away.

It pains me to say this, but if you are not a US citizen, you should not attend scientific conferences in the US, visit US institutions, or otherwise travel to our country. Right now it's not worth the risk. Hopefully that will change. If it doesn't, science in the US is sunk anyway.

Damn right.

Found through this article, which was published two days ago. www.sltrib.com/news/politic...

Records show well-timed trades by executive branch employees and congressional aides. Even if they had no insider information, ethics experts say such trading undermines faith in government and the markets.

What an important move - both to provide emergency relief and to model doing what we can, where we can.

The state of Utah voted to ban pride flags so Salt Lake City Council decided to make official city flags that incorporate the progress pride, Juneteenth, and transgender flags so they can fly them without breaking state law

Yes. We keep writing headlines that assign powers to the president that he does not have.

Stand up to him, get rewarded. Try to placate, he'll just demand more. The way is clear
