Another violent attack by an ICE officer on a civilian at 26 Federal Plaza—this time on a journalist, who had to be carried out on stretcher. Another attack on the First Amendment, our neighbors, and our democracy.

Hey @erinblakemore.bsky.social did you see this?!?

$30,000 will take the newsroom back to full-time- more articles, analysis, and essays. We NEED free, public-interest independent news right now. We NEED coverage from around the world that humanizes and builds empathy. Please support if you can, with whatever you can.

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

Alycia Hallady of the Autism Science Foundation: "The scientific studies that have been conducted so far do not support the idea that Tylenol causes autism." https://to.pbs.org/47XUF5Y

Trump’s Tylenol warning cited a Harvard dean’s research. But a judge called his shifting conclusions ‘unreliable’ www.statnews.com/2025/09/23/r... via @statnews.com

EUROPEAN MEDICINES AGENCY: We have “reviewed a large amount of data from pregnant women who used paracetamol during pregnancy .. “.. there is no evidence that would require changes to the current EU recommendations.” @politico.com $KVUE www.politico.eu/article/eu-d...

From Politifact: Research doesn’t show using Tylenol during pregnancy causes autism. Here are 5 things to know www.pbs.org/newshour/hea...

I took Tylenol as needed throughout my pregnancy. I am a doctor. I order Tylenol for pregnant women regularly. Tylenol is safe in pregnancy. RFK Jr is ignoring a huge recent well-done study because he doesn't like the answer it gives. There is no causality between Tylenol and autism.

Amid the news about Jimmy Kimmel, I’m remembering Diego Luna’s guest appearances earlier this year, when he strongly criticized Trump as he spoke about ICE raids and immigrants in the U.S. www.youtube.com/watch?v=7726...

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHH

SPECIAL REPORT: A large swath of the U.S. currently does not have the basic, ground-level immunity necessary to stop the spread of viruses that had once receded into the past, a six-month NBC News investigation in collaboration with scientists at Stanford University finds.

Just to be blunt, if you want Wired and 404 and The Verge to employ reporters who understand the memes on bullet casings and can connect them to gaming culture while having the legal and support resources to deal with waves of harassment when we do it… you have to subscribe and pay for the work

Hey @niema.net did you see this?

Freaks and geeks

Anthropic to pay $1.5 billion to authors in landmark AI settlement

An estimated 450,000 people have died because of the abrupt cuts to the United States Agency for International Development. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

NIH whistleblowers say HHS manipulated the grant review process to undermine vaccines. @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2025/09/04/h...

Sen Wyden: “I think Secretary Kennedy is dead set on making it harder for children to get vaccines and that kids are going to die because of it," he said.

Holy shit: Stateline spoke to nearly a dozen firefighters, agency staffers and contractors, who said that top officials assigned to the fire deployed the crews to a remote location under false pretenses so federal agents could check their immigration status. www.hcn.org/articles/fir...

A lot of my friends are visual artists and they're struggling/are concerned about protecting their work from #genAI. This is a good overview of the things they can/cannot do in this area. @digelsrud.bsky.social

All. Of. This.

The president just issued an executive order asserting new and wide-ranging authority over the issuance of federal grants. This will have huge repercussions for the daily operations of US science. 🧪 Also, lawyers are gonna be lawyering. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

Every reputable expert I know considers mRNA vaccine technology to be one of the most revolutionary advances in medicine in our lifetimes. Its inventors won the Nobel Prize in 2023. Shutting it down now is pointless self-harm to humanity.
