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!

#COVID reinfection may raise risk of persistent symptoms by 35% The cumulative incidence of long COVID among reinfected and non-reinfected participants was 11% and 8% in the post-index year, respectively. www.cidrap.umn.edu/c...

GAVIN NEWSOM DISMANTLED AN ENCAMPMENT OF HOMELESS PEOPLE WITH HIS BEAR HANDS AND THEN AGREED WITH CHARLIE KIRK THAT TRANS PEOPLE ARE TAKING RIGHTS AWAY FROM EVERYONE ELSE. That's who you're saying is fighting Trump. Personally I'll pass.

If we absolutely have to rally around a candidate right now, is there some reason Summer Lee or Cori Bush is never getting mentioned? Because I would absolutely volunteer for a Lee or Bush campaign. Happily.

Last day to vote! About another $13,000 to meet the $50K goal of the Wisconsin Humane Society calendar fundraiser. Vote for Winnie! Vote for any pet in the contest! #cats #wisconsinhumanesociety

“We are working to get our clients out of harm’s way as much as we can, and to monitor whether the actions follow the law.” Trump's raids on DC's homeless encampments are starting tonight. Advocates are scrambling to relocate people from tent encampments before imminent arrests.

Much love to all CDC staff. I am so sorry you are going through this. You deserve so much better. So many of us appreciate all your work and will continue to stand up with you. ❤️

NPR did a whole podcast on Trump taking over DC, and threatening to do the same with Baltimore and Oakland without saying the word Black.

From Frederick Luis Aldama’s foreword in Latinx Files re: casting of Pedro Pascal in The Mandalorian, it “has cleared new spaces for seeing […] complex articulations of Latinx masculinities: that one can be a warrior and a loving single parent to a nonbiologically related child” (xi, Rutgers, 2021).

Wanting to find fault in #DTMF because Bad Bunny’s lyrics ”don’t sound like poetry” means you’ve lost the plot.

Democrats talk about Gaza as if it were struck by a natural disaster, not by human decisions. They offer excuses, ignoring the reality of occupation and genocide. Even without hunger, over 20,000 children have been killed. What will it take for Democrats to find a spine—and a conscience?

Problem is, not enough of y'all realized it has never once STOPPED being "eugenics summer," and when some of us tried to tell you it's woven through literally everything in Western society from our public health policies to even our basic linguistic conventions, you looked at us like we had 3 heads.

This is my friend. His name is Christian Smalls. He founded the Amazon Labor union Not as a professional activist, but as a worker who decided he’d had enough. Recently, he was beaten and detained by the IDF And no one in the MSM is talking about it. paydayreport.com/amazon-union...

To be 100% clear: Parents do NOT have "legitimate concerns" about trans girls on sports teams. They have knee-jerk assumptions, made up of sexist stereotypes, that self-serving politicians and media-types have fanned into a groundless moral panic. Trans girls playing sports hurts no one.

Bad news: you’re not immune to propaganda, bias, or perpetuating harmful -isms. Good news: Once you accept this, you can reject harm & join liberation movements! It’s not too late to put on an n95. To oppose genocide. To divest from fascist corps. To demand climate action. To protect trans people.

Sending my best to a true public servant and fellow Midwesterner, Governor Tony Evers, on his announced retirement. I saw up close his commitment to doing the right thing for Wisconsinites - and countless lives are better today because he stepped up to serve.

The reality is that the only thing that can reduce homelessness, mental illness, and addiction is more housing, more investment in shelters, and building more mental health infrastructure. That’s it. You can’t address homelessness without houses and you can’t address illness without healthcare.

The Black Codes, which predates Jim Crow, are also relevant here. Vagrqncy laws and forced labor laws (as in certain groups of people are required to work or not allowed to be unemployed) are playing into this as well.

“I asked Chat GPT” “I asked Grok” okay well I went outside and layed in the grass. I don’t need new information. I’ve seen enough

Ugly laws are back, baby! (In before “it’s not a law, it’s an executive order”—whole lot of people can get harmed before the lawsuits go through.)

At its meeting TOMORROW, July 23, the Hawaiʻi County Council will vote on Bill 51, which would BAN the feeding of stray and feral animals, including community cats, on property owned or managed by the county.

Good morning! I'm in Uganda to visit family and friends. But depending on your perspective, don't worry or I'm sorry: I'll be back by the end of the month. See you soon, NYC.

Nice to see Cuomo finally being a team player and campaigning for Zohran

"i asked grok" "i asked chatgpt" yeah well i asked carl sagan and he said the greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance but the illusion of knowledge 🧪

This is correct. Any candidate cynically “triangulating” on trans kids is a non-starter, and now is the time to say so. There’s still so much time to advance candidates that DON’T suck.

Four pro-Palestine faculty fired despite strong job performance, despite fully enrolled & scheduled classes for the fall, without prior notification to department chairs, with obstruction of union info requests throughout. Every union needs to keep an eye on non-reappointments this fall.
