After 4 years of high cortisol and midterms in bomb shelters without electricity I am pleased to say I now have a degree

Andrew Shaw, the lead plaintiff in CHD’s case alleging that AAP’s support for vaccines is racketeering (see: www.skepticalraptor.com/skepticalrap...) Alleges her children died from vaccines. She was just indicted for 1st degree murder in relation to their deaths. m.facebook.com/story.php?st... 1/2

Care guidelines from the American Heart Association and American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists encourage providers to ask about a woman’s #pregnancy history and to consider #preeclampsia a risk factor for future heart disease: www.preeclampsia.org/heart-diseas...

July is #NationalMinorityMentalHealthAwarenessMonth Experiencing preeclampsia, eclampsia, or HELLP syndrome in pregnancy, birth, or postpartum can be a traumatic experience. You are not alone. Find support here: www.preeclampsia.org/birth-trauma...

Give them a supermajority. None of this "here's your 48D Senators, Biden: good luck!" nonsense.

🚨 📈 NEW: In a preliminary assessment, I calculate that the June 2026 heat wave caused around 20,000 heat-related deaths in Europe. Increases in heat mortality will continue as long as fossil fuel emissions continue. zenodo.org/records/2108...

Hate it when people do bourgeois idealist scholarship (going out into the world and counting stuff) when they should be doing actual *materialist* scholarship (riffing off what some long dead Germans would probably say about the last TikTok video I watched). Like do we want revolution or not people?

“Climate scientists appalled by politicians' refusal to accept responsibility as heatwave hits France… They say that years of warnings issued from scientists about the consequences of global warming have not been taken seriously.” #France #ClimateCrisis #UrbanHeat

‚AI will resolve climate change‘ - reality check.

“The President, Vice President, and all civil officers of the United States, shall be removed from office on impeachment for, and conviction of, treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors.” - US Constitution Article II, Section 4

Donald Trump is a very stupid fucking person who genuinely has no idea how anything works and the U.S. press should never be allowed to live down their failure in communicating this mercilessly and clearly to the U.S. public

imagine this realization just dawning

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH SOMEONE GOT CITIZENSHIP THROUGH BEING BORN IN AMERICA AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH MY LIFE IS RUINED EVERYTHING HAS BEEN DESTROYED CIVILIZATION HAS FALLEN HELP HELP HELPPPPPPPPPPP

THIS IS WHAT IS CALLED FOR UNDER FASCISM — BRAVERY Before the attacks & the hot takes start, a few facts: Major Jason Watson is a graduate of the US Air Force Academy, a career logistics officer, a NATO officer, and a decorated veteran who volunteered for a 365-day tour in Afghanistan… 🧵

The paperback of “Invisible Rulers: The Ppl Who Turn Lies Into Reality” comes out in 1 mo. It has the story of the machine that went after us in a new epilogue.(Invisiblerulers.com) Media folks, pls cover this loss for AFL. I’m very happy to talk ab it. The public needs to understand these attacks.

it's very funny how Dems are increasingly competitive in every swing state poll but the GCB is like, still in blue victory, but not wave territory. what's going on?

As expected. So begins the further Europeanization of Canada. "U.S. not expected to renew trade deal with Canada and Mexico, top trade official says" www.theglobeandmail.com/world/us-pol...

warming up the food we made ahead so as not to have to heat up the house this week - yum

I don't know who needs to hear this, but crypto produces nothing. It has no inherent value or function. That Trump made $1.2 billion in crypto means people simply gave Trump $1.2 billion. Many were just duped. Others gave it in exchange for something, and we don't know what that something is.

🚨 HEADS UP: If you haven't submitted a comment on the OMB proposal yet, there's still time - but it's running out! There are only 13 days left to push back against Russell Vought's attempt to give political appointees unprecedented control over federal research funding. Take Action: zurl.co/VGfwO

To this day, this man makes excuses for those who carried out an attack to throw out your votes and install a defeated President.

"...one would need to think about the actual political economy of AI rather than idealistic dreams about what AI could be in some theoretically possible future." - yup yup Lily Hu's excellent response to Daniel Greco on AI in philosophy. www.chronicle.com/blogs/letter...

The collective journalistic freakout over someone disliking a cafeteria sandwich at Oberlin or some Yale students asking their peers to be less racist at Halloween has generated far more copy and uproar than multiple universities illegally firing faculty for nonconservative speech they disliked.

Take the pledge: NEVER take the bait when Axios runs a bunch of anonymous quotes from random Democratic backbenchers dumping on D primary voters

"Blessed be the Fruit." Trump and Republicans are going after your birth control.

One thing you can see with the reaction to birthright citizenship decision is that Great Replacement Theory is now pretty much the center of the American Right's whole project.

No previous president has ever manipulated American foreign and domestic policy in order to make himself a billionaire. Unprecedented www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

We limit the speed of ebikes "for public safety", yet this study shows we'd need to limit SUVs to 5.7 km/h for them to pose the same risk to other people #motonormativity findingspress.org/article/1587...

Here's the thing: we often speak optimistically of a post-Trump GOP, yet there's WAYYY too much buy-in all the way across the right for these literally atrocious anti-immigrant views—like, calling for literal atrocities—to just go away. They won't; this is the GOP for the foreseeable future

These bad faith propaganda accounts continue to grind my gears to no end. They do net damage to the causes they purport to support.

Parked but not idle: The buses “will charge up their nearly 200-kilowatt-hour batteries overnight, when the power supply is at its cleanest & cheapest, then send energy back to the grid from 4 pm to 7 pm on days when the grid is strained. The district will earn revenue for the power it shares…”

“Together, the accumulated evidence affirms mRNA vaccines as a safe, effective, and adaptable platform with enduring relevance for future infectious disease prevention and public health preparedness, and for the treatment of cancer and autoimmunity” @thelancet.com www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

Thank you so much for all of your happy birthday wishes. Honestly, I don’t really feel 100. I feel pretty good. I feel like I’m only 98!

Stunning. apnews.com/article/trum...

“It is important, likewise, that the habits of thinking, in a free country, should inspire caution in those intrusted with its administration, to confine themselves within their respective constitutional spheres, avoiding, in the exercise of the powers of one department, to encroach upon another.” 👇

Justice Brown Jackson's argument for birthright citizenship is very moving. I recommend reading it in full. An excerpt with alt-text below. “The Reconstruction Amendments were an anticaste, antisubordination reset for the Nation, not a mere spot treatment for the dark stain of slavery.” — KBJ

Farmworkers are most likely to be killed by heat. Other high risk jobs include construction, landscaping, delivery & any outdoor work. Delivery workers & vehicle operators are often alone w/nobody to check on them. Child workers, pregnant workers and seniors have extra risk. 10/

Nearly half of the weather balloons in the lower 48 are missing because of DOGE

One side wants to correct the radical imbalance in America's political economy. The other side wants race war. These parties are the same.

important article. "the anniversary reminds us of the power of history and memory -- and that autocracy is not inevitable. It is the perfect moment to resolve that if we win, when we win, we’ll tear down all Trump’s works and blot out his name behind a black curtain."

The Air Force has acknowledged that the recent death of a recruit in basic training at Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland was caused by a flu virus that has swept the base, according to U.S. Rep. Joaquin Castro. bit.ly/4vGghg4

President Donald Trump reported more than $1 billion in income from his family's crypto ventures last year. That's according to an annual financial disclosure released on Tuesday.

At a certain level I just don’t know how you become like this. Go outside. Have a white claw. Play some football. Watch some Seinfeld. Listen to some Taylor Swift. Why are you posting screeds about forced sterilization of millions of people on the internet.

absolutely vital to win the senate this november. need to basically blockade judicial confirmations for the next two years.

On Damnatio Memoriae and de-Trumpification. (Gift link) Been waiting for this one to go up. Please read and share.

Too many Americans still retain a presumption of normalcy, that institutional guardrails will kick in and the Trump era will become a historical period for the textbooks. They need their imagination widened by comparative-historical analysis. Things both can be bad *and* can get so much worse.

the question isn't "do you have faith in the democrats" the question is "do you have faith in the ability of people to work collectively to impose their will on the political system?"

There cannot be an expectation that critical civilian infrastructure will not be targeted in future wars, be it by Russian missiles hitting Europe or Chinese ones targeting America. We need to work on this problem, & part of that is accepting that we may not be able to avoid war & its consequences.

Scientific research in the United States might not collapse with a bang, or with a whimper, but with a rule change. And it's not just Science. This rule change hits DOE, DOT, VA, HUD. ALL federal grants are at risk. www.theverge.com/science/9576...
