so what I’m hearing is that my old institute preemptively changed its name and erased trans people from their website for nothing? HMMMMM

chicago is doing everything minneapolis is doing, fyi. you just don’t hear about it for…reasons.

this is such a horrifying idea but sure let Jeff have all of your health information what could go wrong

The self sabotage of American science in full display. Thousands of grants supporting clinical trials of new treatments, basic science and clinical translation have been terminated over the last 12 months. www.nature.com/immersive/d4...

guess who already has their transgender FOID and transgender shotgun fuck yall

i went to a rave on saturday and stayed up until 7am but I no longer have my job as a scientist in a different world this would be ideal but not on this timeline

I got my termination notice in March and am still unemployed.

cutting ADAP will actually increase the burden of HIV in the US and will ultimately become much more expensive for our nation’s health care system. people living with HIV don’t get cured when you cut their meds.

fuck it I’m gonna go rave

It’s wild that this was only around for two years because it’s so deeply emblazoned in my middle school memories

A really critical detail here is they are not testing pregnant people and therefore will randomize newborns with extremely high risk of getting Hep B at the time of birth (from the birthing parent), in a country with high rates of Hep B, to NOT GETTING THE VACCINE THAT CAN PREVENT TRANSMISSION.

unrelated to anything meaningful happening in this hellscape but Jennifer Tilly and Rachel Zoe are so good on RHOBH

I grew up in a space that was super segregated and much more racially, ethnically, and religiously homogenous (suburban oklahoma) than where I live now (chicagoooooo!!) and I LOVE living in this city. I hear so many different languages on the daily! if you don’t think that’s COOL…you’re just a bigot

G E N E R A L S T R I K E

this is why democrats keep losing: they’re invested in fascism light

what a sad little bitch of a man

this is actually wild our ‘leadership’ continues to piss the entire world off and we’re just sitting here like ‘wow this sucks’ instead of i dunno like, GENERAL STRIKING or any fucking thing

I’m old enough to remember when they established ICE We can 100000000% abolish ICE

Blues great & Sinners cameo star Buddy Guy recently reflected on the movie & its impact on him & it’s just 🥹🥰 “This wasn’t just acting. This was telling a story that feels like home to me.” What a beautiful film of love & legacy Ryan has created 🫶🏾

ugh big TERF energy I hate it

FOX: Where’s the protest against the regime that's killing people in the street right now? Trent: They are doing those today. It’s called the ICE protests FOX: Are they talking about Iran at the ICE protests? Trent: No, I think they are talking about the regime that is shooting people in the face

which is to say, send me some side hustles; ya boy has bills to pay and no real way to make it happen 😬😬

I’m still unemployed thanks to this administration, fyi.

I’m sorry but when we have a president who’s out here calling people who disagree with him scum and subhuman and a gestapo force murdering people for hurting their feelings, you’re not gonna convince me that decorum is what we need right now

An arsonist hit a Mississippi synagogue Saturday. Seven Torahs were damaged or destroyed in the fire. One Torah, from the Holocaust, was in a glass case and wasn't touched. The same synagogue was bombed by the KKK in 1967. mississippitoday.org/2026/01/10/f...

So when authorities say “she tried to run over an officer,” that is not a neutral description. It is a claim of intent that can be used to justify lethal force after the fact. When the state kills first and invents the threat afterward, it is not policing, it is death squad behavior. /end

COVER UP

A Black man named Keith Porter was shot and killed by an ICE officer on New Year’s Eve. Marimar Martinez was shot five times by an ICE officer in Chicago who went on to brag about leaving seven holes in her body. This is not new but it is expanding.

cannot handle that it has taken BLOODSHED for this to finally happen this country is an embarrassment

None of this is new. It's not new. It's just happening to white people in broad daylight is all. It's only new if you don't think of black people as people. If you don't think of South Americans as people. If you don't think of indigenous people as people. It's not new. It's just you now, too.

Abolish ICE is the moderate position.

Brandon Johnson demanded. Pritzker demanded. The citizens demanded. What do we demand people intent on extrajudicial killings actually do? Stop? They’ve already shown they don’t care. We are tip toeing closer and closer to civil war with each day.

they’re abducting our neighbors and putting them in concentration camps and they’ll shoot you in the fucking face if you don’t cheer them on while they’re doing it.

they are murdering people in Minneapolis. they did it here; they will do it where you live next. they are actual Nazis.

Trump & RFK Jr.'s coterie of bootlicking doctors are real pieces of shit, we argue in the British Medical Journal, essentially. Link: www.bmj.com/content/392/...

I swear though this is what it is like when I’m in rooms with people who’ve never taken any social sciences or humanities courses. they sincerely believe that you can “optimize” the chaos of human behavior and I am here to tell you people are wild! will always be wild! and you can’t quantify that!

heavyyyyyyy on the eugenics yikes

I thought they loved Western Culture? Isn’t Plato like, one of their greats?

They had already taken his data and run it through an LLM — this isn’t how informed consent works!!

okay so all the talk about Robert Cosby in The Cult of the Real Housewife but WHY DO WE NEVER ONCE MENTION THAT HE IS BILL COSBYS BROTHER I need somebody to do a deep dive into this PUH LEASE

Honestly this needs to be the approach.

Ask not what your representative will do for you (nothing), ask how you can make your representative so miserable they quit their job

burquenos should always expect to find don schrader’s name on any war tax resistance page

this doesn’t really sound like she’s collaborating jfc we are never going to not be in war

rio grande blood as a whole is a great album

Big day for people who don’t know what the song Fortunate Son is about

this is why dems can’t win.
