NSAIDs (which many pregnant women will now take instead of Tylenol) are associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular events like heart attack & stroke. Pregnancy-associated SCAD is also a leading cause of heart attacks during pregnancy & postpartum. NSAIDs increase SCAD risk. I am concerned.

Since 1/20/2025 •Public-health messaging on autism, vaccines & acetaminophen •Restrictions on gender-affirming care for minors •Cuts and data blind spots in anti-hunger policy •Pullbacks from multilateral child-health and humanitarian programs •Environmental rollbacks tied to pediatric health risks

A bit of James Baldwin today: "I imagine one of the reasons people cling to their hates so stubbornly is because they sense, once hate is gone, they will be forced to deal with pain"

You can’t make antivaxxers happy. You come up with a perfectly reasonable line of bullshit about aspirin and autism and they’re all like “but i wanted autism to be caused by diet soda and werewolves”

NEW: Air Force jets are doing ICE flights to Africa with transponders turned off, making them nearly un-trackable. This includes the third-country removal to Ghana and another secret flight. We figured out where it landed. From me for @rollingstone.com: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

I just don’t really understand how this isn’t being treated more like an emergency situation

Ok, this one is too good and has to be shared! @jaybird54.bsky.social Goodnight & Sweet Dreams!

CUZ IT IS FUCKING WITCHCRAFT

Ok for the 100th time. Democrats need to instead be reminding America they have NO POWER and this is entirely on the GOP to fund govt. entirely. If they need dem help then ok but there will be a cost. Is anyone over there any good at messaging?

More than anything else, I object to this president stealing our time and attention. We can’t even have a Sunday morning without hearing about some insane thing he said and wondering if that insane thing will become real because he’s insane.

RFKjr is deliberately trying to cull Americans in large numbers. Scientific and rational thought can reach no other conclusion.

Right wing crazies want me arrested because they know I won't back down. Too bad.

This is what we need from elected officials -- a commitment to stand up for their constituents and, just as important, a willingness to tell right-wing trolls to get bent.

“Pelayo said her dad described being held in a room with at least 150 other men as ICE officers constantly yell at them and call them slurs. He also told his daughters detainees are only given food and water based on good behavior.” These are the conditions at the site of yesterday’s protest.

I would love for a single democrat to reckon with the fact that conservatives are not in fact motivated by reasonable concerns. They are — just as they were with ‘concerns’ over blacks and gays and numerous other minorities over the last five decades — motivated by bigotry.

Just a suggestion to those who don't look like me in all our many beautiful shades: when you say this has never happened before you mean to y'all. When you say "this is not how we are" you mean to each other. My folk can give dates and times this sh!t has happened to us and yes that's who you are.

the department of homeland security released a statement claiming “over a hundred violent rioters surrounded” the broadview ice detention center this morning. what actually happened was ice/cbp tactical teams aggressively threw, dragged, & tear-gassed protesters. one agent literally drew his gun.

This photo by @staceywescott.bsky.social is a loud reminder that ICE never left Illinois. The press did. And Illinoisans—like the military veteran in the photo—are standing up in the face of aggression. Please help us stay loud.

Thank you #ColinKarpernick for standing up for this man, this student, who was obviously do violently murdered—lynched. NO BLACK MAN IS GONNA HANG HIMSELF FROM A TREE IN MISSISSIPPI. Or anywhere else.

Governor J.B. Pritzker gives us hope. In this exclusive piece for The Contrarian, he calls on us to work together to reaffirm the values that actually make our country great. A must-read:

Oh my God this is so great. Trump’s administration can try to silence late night comedians, but the whole world is laughing at him—and at Disney. This is HILARIOUS.

We’re protesting outside the Broadview ICE facility and an agent came out to tell us to go away. We said we’re exercising our First Amendment rights so he shot the ground with pepper balls and said, “Your First Amendment rights are on the sidewalk.”

ICE continues to assault us. We are peacefully protesting. They are kidnapping and hurting us.

That was the most aggro I've ever seen the agents. While pushing to get vehicles out, agents grabbed at least 2 people. Multiple tear gas cannisters deployed and pepper balls fired into the crowd.

ICE shot and killed a man in the Chicago suburbs last week. In the days since, we've seen a laundry list of escalating violent behavior from the feds: reckless driving, destroyed property, dawn raids, intimidation and threats against reporters, witnesses assaulted and threatened with pepper spray.

People keep expressing outrage and disbelief. They ask how can they not see something so obvious? You have to step back and comprehend it for what it actually is. Google “eugenics” and “news”. Start there. Now look at cuts: who do they hurt and put at risk of dying? The sick, poor, old & disabled.

You can’t talk about cleaning up crime in D.C. while a 34-count convicted felon is running the country.

This is Hollywood's McCarthy Moment. This is the litmus test. Learn from history. Who will step up and fight? Who will bend the knee and be complicit? History will remember.

They are literally canceling culture

Every major talent that works for ABC and Disney should refuse to show up for work until Jimmy Kimmel is reinstated. Marvel movies need to shutdown. Ditto the sitcoms. Collective boycott. Corporations love money more than anything,& this will harm them and force them to do the right thing.

I would love to be part of the conversation on MSNBC related to the Kimmel story and it's chilling effects on first amendment, but unfortunately I was terminated by MSNBC for stating that "hateful thoughts lead to hateful words which lead to hateful actions".

Becoming increasingly clear we’re gonna have to build a parallel infrastructure for all the media we really love. The reason all of this is happening under the color of law is hyperconsolidation, dissent being traded straight up for merger approval, or fear of harassment.

Even though everything in our country is terrible, this made me laugh and I needed one.

The Trump administration’s cruel immigration enforcement tactics are recklessly endangering all Illinoisians, including hardworking immigrants and US citizens. This isn't the nation I know or grew up in — know your rights, stand up, and speak out.

Exactly this

i am getting pretty weary of a politician's "this is not normal" without an "and here's what i'm going to do"

@maddow.msnbc.com you keep asking why? Why would someone want to not cure cancer? Welcome to the democide… open.substack.com/pub/demodirg...

A grim reminder: these people will never be satisfied. There’s no point at which they will say “we’ve won, let’s enjoy life.” They will always be looking for someone else to punish, to revile, to dehumanize. They’re empty without that.

Yes, it does matter.

This is an extremely basic point, but one that bears repeating: in a law-governed society, the state cannot simply murder people it has identified as potential criminals. It does not matter if those alleged criminals are foreigners. If you illegally kill people, you have committed murder.

Somehow still every day I am repeatedly astounded that the entire United States is voluntarily destroying itself just so that a few people can pretend Donald Trump didn’t sexually assault children
