Never underestimate a Puerto Rican Pisces! Congrats to Benito. DTMF is joy and resistance! ❤️

Bad Bunny accepts the #GRAMMYs award for Album of the Year.

just thinking about how Moira Rose was such a singular character in the history of television who legitimately only could have been played by Catherine O’Hara.

Catherine O’Hara of Beetlejuice and Schitt’s Creek has died at age 71. RIP to one of the all-time greatest women in comedy. people.com/catherine-oh...

We are in fact DESPERATE for winter coats, waterproof gloves, and good boots. We get so many wonderful donations but it is so cold and the numbers of unhoused unsheltered people are going up at the absolute worst time for it, and we run out of coats weekly.

In his inaugural address as mayor of New York, Zohran Mamdani vowed not to back away from his ambitious campaign promises. "I was elected as a democratic socialist and I will govern as a democratic socialist." https://www.democracynow.org/2026/1/2/zohran_mamdani_inauguration_speech

Happy Caturday 🐾🤍

Halle Berry’s an advocate for menopause treatment and research and rightfully criticized Newsom after commending Illinois for being the first state to mandate HRT treatment. Great example of how trans rights are intersectional with all women’s rights. “Nobody’s free until everybody’s free.”

Clinton has a long history of taking action to violate Palestinians’ humanity and human rights and repress those in the U.S. who speak out for Palestinian rights. As a senator, she backed numerous pieces of legislation seeking to further entrench Israel’s occupation of Palestine.

"Europeans conquered the world!" Dude whilst peoples of the Global Majority were inventing algebra, astronomy, gunpowder, and modern medicine, our European ancestors were arguing about whether ducks were fish that grew on trees. Let's be real.

My fave Evil that I can recall. After much frowning had a mind-blown OF COURSE that made me feel so delighted with the elegance of the clue & from there everything fell into place.

This is an excellent thread, and if I might add, with care, that I think our academic staff are also all exhausted as well, by so many things that were not always a part of their role, as well as the pressure and precariousness of academia. Students feel that, too - the whole environment is fraught.

Professors who see teaching as a skill, a trust & a responsibility are the ones who are burned out by these conditions. The ones who care about students’ well-being are the ones whose methodologies are unsustainable in these conditions. It’s agonizing.

When we spoke in 2020, Alice Wong wondered if a million Covid deaths would drive Americans to care. By 2022, a million Americans had died of Covid. To read the full transcript of this interview, visit tinyurl.com/5ez375t9

Can’t believe the whole country has to suffer through the return of Dickensian childhood diseases because the worst, most ignorant attention-demanders decided other people’s expertise makes them feel bad

The people who make Shein's clothes labor for ten to twelve hours per day (in violation of China's labor laws), some up to seven days a week, and earn as little as 15 to 30 cents per t-shirt.

It marked a before and after for us.

“I’ve never seen this before—I’ve never seen the Democratic leadership not endorse the Democratic candidate. It’s so ugly, it’s so cowardly, it’s so stupid." Democratic leaders refuse to endorse Zohran Mamdani, and their voters are fed up.

Oh, Winnie! #CatsOfBluesky

It's funny how vaccines worked so well that now infant mortality is low enough for all the new generations to forget it was ever a common thing. Vaccine stability has made us forget why it was so important in the first place. Before vaccines, 450 children died out of every 1000. Now? 20.

Milwaukee Labor Day 2025

New Mexico is overriding the federal government on the topic of COVID19 vaccines to ensure their residents can access them. States hold a tremendous amount of public health power. They should use it.

If you are okay with this, if you think this is justified, if you think people living on the street have brought this upon themselves, if you think this is good leadership, you may be able to fool yourself that you care about others but you don’t fool me

Yup.

the thing I love about Zohran’s campaign is that instead of “this place fucking sucks and I alone can fix it” his message is “being a New Yorker rules, we live in the best city in the world, let’s make it even better together” show some damn pride in the places you want to govern

Vaccines are no different; just like seatbelts, airbags, and other medications, they are risk mitigation measures that we know are effective. But we know NONE of these things are always effective. Vaccines must be viewed the same. Read more: news.immunologic.org/p/moving-the... 🧵

Ugly laws: The blueprint for Trump's anti-homeless crusade

In case people think this is solely a JD Vance/GOP problem: Gavin Newsom withheld funds from cities if they didn't throw unhoused folks' stuff out, and he personally went and threw some out himself ktla.com/news/local-n...

The “mild” Covid infection is like a hurricane 🌀 whose eye didn’t touch land. Might not have experienced the worst of it, but effects are cumulative. If the immune system is already compromised/the infrastructure has been diminished, it’ll have negative effects for however long. #CovidSurge

and this is the guy some of you are busily, noisily pledging allegiance to three years early. ok.

I will die on this hill: it isn’t hard to say “at the height of the pandemic” or “at the start of COVID” during a podcast interview. Producers, hosts, don’t let your guests say “during COVID” like this thing is over. Correct them. Ask them to say the sentence again. This is your job.

“They did not die from COVID , they had preexisting conditions.” “They did not die from starvation, they had other health problems.” This is what eugenics sounds like.

First of all, Rickets can be related to nutrition so dying of starvation. Second of all when you are malnourished your body doesn’t function properly. That includes your immune system. Third of of this argument that you don’t matter if you have another condition is eugenics.

Are the mRNA vaccines incredible? YES! Are the mRNA vaccines perfect? No. Have the mRNA vaccines saved millions of lives? YES! Can we make the mRNA vaccines even better? YES! Can we use mRNA vaccine technology to prevent and treat many other diseases? YES! Fund mRNA research!
