Next week, my global health class will discuss why access to medicines is such a struggle Science must save all, but the benefits of science are only reaching some www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... via @science.org

Meiselas: So if this 17 trillion he keeps talking about exists, what account is it in? Did he steal the 17 trillion? Subramanyam: I’d love to see his math on that. I’d love to know why it’s not being returned to the American people if that’s the case.

NEW: A 20-year federal prosecutor, fired abruptly this week even as he lead case against Abbey Gate bomber, warns his colleagues: the Trump administration is sacrificing national security to purge Trump's perceived adversaries. w/ @dnlbrns www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

You can often get free postcards with postage even paid in most areas in California. Use nice penmanship & add some flourishes so voters know that other voters like you care enough to write them. Ballots drop on 10/6, so it's go time. Here's another resource to volunteer. Grassrootsdems.org

The government is in full shutdown and the Republicans are refusing to call the House back into session. Want to know why? Because we have secured the final vote on releasing the Epstein Files and they don’t want it out. Call GOP and tell them to swear in @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social.

What the fuck do you mean I got a longer prison sentence than Diddy

Via @kelciemmorris.bsky.social and @sofiaresnick.bsky.social: Elected officials in some Democratic-led states have pledged to backfill funding needed to allow Planned Parenthood clinics to keep accepting Medicaid and other low-income patients. But they may struggle to make up for federal cuts.

Awful news.

Accurate.

BREAKING: A federal judge finds that there is evidence Kilmar Abrego was VINDICTIVELY PROSECUTED. The judge GRANTS Abrego's motion for discovery and a hearing, and the government must now PROVE it did not vindictively prosecute Mr. Abrego. 1/

Gov Newsom has volunteered to look into the missing 17 Trillion$. Breaking- Gavin don’t forget the billions he has just cut from Blue State Climate and Health programs

Today so far feds in Chicagoland have: Attacked & arrested protesters at the Broadview detention center w/the help of the ISP other agencies Tear gassed a street in Logan Square that has a grocery store & elementary school on it, among other things Violently handcuffed an Alderperson It's 3pm

Justice Jackson is obviously correct. SIX HUNDRED THOUSAND PEOPLE are now illegally going to have their status terminated early — as every court other than the Supreme Court has found so far. Not a single word of justification from the Justices in the majority to justify this. NONE. Not one.

What an utter disgrace. Noem's actions to "vacate" Secretary Mayorkas' grant of TPS over the direct command in the statute that no early termination can be done was flagrantly unlawful. And yet the majority offers not a SINGLE word of explanation for why they think she could do that. Shameless!

ICE just blatantly violated the law and arrested sitting Chicago Alderperson Jessie Fuentes while seeking to illegally arrest a patient in a hospital. Fuck these fascists.

I really appreciate Justice Jackson contrasting the lower courts' meticulous and responsible approach to judging—extensive deliberations, written opinions—with the Supreme Court's slapdash, unreasoned work over the shadow docket. www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

For anyone who has been looking for @novavax.bsky.social Novavax 2025-2026 COVID vaccines, it appears Costco now has limited availability. Appointments vary greatly by location and Novavax is not available as an option in my area. FWIW, local CVS and Walgreens also do not yet have Novavax.

FINALLY was able to schedule Novavax Nuvaxovid 2025-2026 at my local CVS! Try using CVS website on a regular computer if mobile app is not letting you select Novavax and filtering correctly. Use the @novavax.bsky.social vaccine finder website link above if you can’t find availability.

"Today, just like two thousand years ago, they continue to kill Jews and once again lay the blame at their own feet. It isn’t because of Jews, and it never was. It is because they are the scapegoat upon which the world projects its own hatred." Erica LeBon #StandUpToJewishHate 🟦

“Currently, Massachusetts sends $4,846 more per capita to the federal government than it gets back. New Jersey and Washington are in the same position...Meanwhile, red states pocket $1.24 for every dollar they send to Washington. Blue states are essentially paying red states to undermine democracy.”

Jack Posobiec, who lead the Trump’s incorrect calls of 2020 voter fraud & who rails against Dems use of mail-in voting, has been found to have illegally voted in Pennsylvania while living in Maryland. Throw the book at this grifter/criminal. Their accusations are always their confessions.

We need to have a very serious discussion about what this means for the globe, what it's sociopolitical & economic effects are, & how we're going to traverse through this new landscape bc I firmly believe that the madness that we've been seeing is explicable & related. www.wsj.com/health/welln...

It's a HUGE problem & what's happening now reminds me so much of what followed the Flu pandemic of 1918 that piggy-backed w whatever caused encephalitis lethargica. The Roaring 20s wasn't just a big party but a time where disordered & sometimes dangerous thinking prevailed. Neurological impacts.

Chris Murphy says Dems should lay down a simple marker for Trump: No Dem support for anything that funds his lawbreaking. "if you want our votes, it can’t be for rampant lawlessness. This isn't a normal time...the world [is] watching to see what we stand for." 2/ newrepublic.com/article/2013...

The breadth of Jewish disapproval of Netanyahu is significantly under-reported in UK media. Views are never monolithic but the median British Jew feels an attachment to Israel and feels Netanyahu has been a disaster for Israel (Institute for Jewish Policy Research) www.jpr.org.uk/reports/what...

President Donald Trump pressured Texas Republicans this summer to draw a new map creating five more GOP seats in Congress — at the expense of Texas minority voters, who will no longer be able to elect the candidates of their choice and will see their political strength greatly diminished.

This video explains how biased US media are. Never forget that the American media almost unanimously agree that Hillary Clinton lost her campaign because she used the word 'deplorable' to describe some Trump voters, although Trump himself called American voters 'vermin'. That is Hitler's word!

Important paper by members of the European Academy of Neurology. "Healthcare systems should be aware of, and be prepared for a potential increase in the incidence of neurodegenerative diseases in the upcoming years." What has been the state of surveillance and awareness so far? #NeuroCovid

Holy hell. DHS just openly stated that its agents use “reasonable suspicion” to make ARRESTS. This is blatantly unconstitutional. The Supreme Court is clear that you need probable cause to arrest someone, as opposed to stop them to ask them a question or two. This is huge b/c…

The lag by the CDC is very unusual. Typically, the CDC acts within days – sometimes hours – because of the urgency of rolling out vaccines before the winter surge. The delay has created a lot of confusion both among the public and providers. www.npr.org/sections/sho...

I would like to know how we can identify the specific persons at CNN who researched, wrote, edited, and approved this and hang it around their necks for the rest of their professional lives.

Rep. Madeleine Dean: "It looks like the president is trying to take us off the world stage in terms of our credibility as the indispensable nation. I want the speaker to go to the president and say it's recognizable what you are doing and your deterioration."

I mean come the hell on… The request for a gift for King Charles came from a State Department liaison who used the email address “giftgirl2025” and initially told the museum that they were looking for “like a sword or something,” www.nytimes.com/2025/10/02/a...

We're dealing with evil people, and I hope to God there's a way to hold them accountable one day.

It's not just in GA, this kind of increases are coming for millions of Americans if Trump's Big Aweful Bill is allowed to stand, which is what Dems are fighting for by not capitulating to GOP. This closure of the government is their attempt to make Dems capitulate. #ProudBlue
