Thanks to Trump, 1 in 4 nursing homes could close. Community clinics are on the brink of shutting their doors. Hospitals, already filled to the brim with patients, are bracing for huge cuts. Promising research that offers the last hope for kids with cancer is shutting down.

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)

*dude is strangling me against the wall* some folks, pointing: I don't want to support that shit *me, giving you a thumbs up as I gurgle my dying breath*

This is what I’m talking about! Fight together!

Thread. While her print book is out of print, and AFAICT, there wasn’t an ebook, the audiobook is still available at both Libro.FM and Audible (spit), and that is a source of revenue for her. It appears abridged, but probably lightly, given the book is 288 pages and the ”abridged” audio is 10 hrs.

A quick look at worldcat.org indicates it is still owned by some libraries (largely universities). Your local library can probably get it through ILL (Interlibrary Loan) which is also good because borrowing = interest = stats (which in turn makes it more likely to be kept on the shelf.)

#DavidsMonthOfMusic #MusicChallenge Great song, powerful & fun! Some of the band members were singing from personal experience. (Full story doesn’t fit.) Day 24 - a song with a genre of music in the title Bald-Headed Blues - Saffire , the Uppity Blues Women youtu.be/sNaW6FyiJRI?...

Well, there it is. Sinclair is digging in for a fight, so please help push back -- find stations in your area, watch their local news to see what ads they run, then write those advertisers to tell them you're boycotting as long as they're on a Sinclair station. List here: sbgi.net/tv-stations/

*hands together in prayer* let us all be aware of our large social media platforms, so that we may not amplify medical misinformation. amen

Protest, resist, yell, mock, organize. Dissent and dissent LOUDLY. We live under a fascist regime, not a successfully totalitarian regime. These people are not bright and they are not competent. They will lose.

I cannot emphasize this enough: The regime has overextended itself. It is vulnerable to protest and dissent. They have not consolidated power and we are entirely capable of keeping them from doing so. Doomers are not realists.

“The US scientific research system is being dismantled before our eyes” Correct @maddow.msnbc.com

So cute!

It’s eugenics AND it’s a deep hatred of women and belief that suffering for their children is their job. Acetaminophen is one of the only pain relievers available to pregnant people. If they can get rid of autistic people AND make it women’s fault that they ever existed AND punish women…that’s ideal

Rep. Jasmin Crockett is correct. This is bigger than the pedophile president. MUCH BIGGER. Release the Epstein files!

Sex is great but have you ever spent the day reading Agatha Christie in front of a crackling fire whilst enjoying multiple cups of tea and freshly-baked emotional support scones in a Scottish Highlands cottage during a raging thunderstorm?

I've posted this before but it's one of my favorite shots of natural geometry. #BlueSkyArtShow theme is #Angles all day Saturday. Link to the feed in comments. #photography #crystals #frozen

Riley (NY19) voted “yes”. Given his recent votes, I am so disgusted with him, and ashamed I voted for him. I don’t know how he ever got on the democratic line, he’s a Democrat in name only.

I just had to email this blog post to myself to read after I clean up the current mess (just heard cat throw up somewhere). Good stuff!! #genealogy

I’ve been feeling overwhelmed w/ all the news these last few days so yesterday I tried to to soften my feed by following a bunch more writers, artists, photographers, and science folks. Yes, I know all art is political but this increases my odds of seeing art amongst the politics & that will help.

Definitely. She’s a favorite!

"Not #breathing was completely counterintuitive, even for a few short secs. When I was at my sickest, I didn’t notice, but I was often doing a rapid, shallow form of breathing which didn’t fill my lungs properly.": buff.ly/As6v93G by TheMindfulMigraine #migraine #ChronicPain #ChronicIllness

If you haven’t bought anything from @effinbirds.com, you really need to. Like, today.

Thank you to everyone who's been buying t-shirts from my threadless store. Didn't really know what to expect when I set it up & have been very touched and thrilled by how popular the shirts have been. Very fun to imagine folks walking around out in the world with my art 💜 whistberry.threadless.com

THIS is the kind of order judges should be issuing against performative complaints.

So to be clear, the judge is not striking the complaint down because Trump has not made a claim. He is striking it down because it is incredibly long and argumentative.
