This is huge! A human rights tribunal found that employers must accommodate remote work for immunocompromised employees Remote work accommodations are something disabled people have needed for decades Covid showed us it’s possible, but ableism & discrimination took it away We all need this right

I remember panic about the number of children being prescribed inhalers for asthma (the former number one chronic illness in kids). Too bad we're not seeing the same concern about Long Covid. Also, child Covid vaccination rates are abysmal - it's like they're being set up to fail.

This is fantastic by @juliadoubleday.bsky.social We owe it to our children to mitigate airborne infections and to vaccinate them effectively. Western countries abandoning kids due to lower PERCEIVED risk and a drive for normalcy is wholly irresponsible. #VaccinesPlus #LongCovidKids

Too many people fail to understand the role poverty plays in chronic illness. Money can’t buy health or happiness, but a lack of money can make your health worse & life harder. Universal healthcare & basic income would do more to create a healthier society than all the “wellness” in the world.

ATTN: If you’re a member of the National Guard or you work for ICE and you’re asked to violate the law or your oath, contact Whistleblower Aid to safely, securely, and legally blow the whistle. You can support Whistleblower Aid HERE: whistlebloweraid.org/beans

As a few folks have said, having the White House say that Trump is in a private event is a big admission under Trump v US which says official acts are immune & unofficial private acts ARE NOT IMMUNE. ⚖️🧐

John Brown was not famous for his city council appearances.

The exact same people telling you Covid is like the flu and it’s harmless to get repeatedly infected w covid if ur vaxxed are the ones claiming that HIV doesn’t cause AIDS (false) and measles builds ur immune system (false). I beg liberals/leftists to wake the tf up and realize u fell for propaganda

Boston folks: I'm (very slowly) working on a zine about local ways people can plug in, loosely based on @prisonculture.bsky.social's list of actions that are not voting or protesting. Any suggestions of groups/projects/etc that I should include?

The Spencer Foundation is offering rapid response bridge funding for those who lost NSF research grants. www.spencer.org/grant_types/...

Hi I used to work at Starbucks customer service: if you call or email about this, they are absolutely tracking those numbers, and a sufficient amount of public pushback does make them rethink shit sometimes, so now would be an EXCELLENT time to let them know they’re being ableist shitheads

Gun registry? No. Autism registry? Yes? Fuck ALL the way off.

*Of course* advance information on US combat operations is classified. Pretending otherwise is an insult to our troops, who all know this. The Secretary is unfit to lead.

Van Hollen says that he asked the VP of El Salvador why his government continues to hold Abrego Garcia even though he’s not charged with any crime and there’s no evidence that he’s MS-13. “His answer was that the Trump administration is paying the government of El Salvador to keep him at CECOT”

"the president defied a Supreme Court ruling to return a man mistakenly sent to a gulag... and spoke of sending Americans to foreign concentration camps. This is the beginning of an American policy of state terror, and it has to be identified as such to be stopped" snyder.substack.com/p/state-terror

This is a solid idea.

Called my congressman who voted for the SAVE act. Me: What documents will I need to vote if this passes? Staffer: a DL and birth certificate. Me: The documents don’t match Staffer: Then a marriage certificate. Me: Will my husband need the marriage certificate too? Staffer: No Me: See the problem?

Update! UMass-Amherst's faculty senate is now on board!! Last night they passed their own resolution calling for two compacts: 1) of all public and land-grant higher ed in the country 2) of all public and private higher ed in Massachusetts Read and spread widely!! www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/ikin7...

Veterans who were fired as part of the RIFs - an opportunity to share your stories. Your voice matters!

He's mentally ill & we're pretending like he just has a differing opinion. What mentally healthy mature adult thinks they're qualified to lead something they've never studied? It took me some time before I could read & understand scientific research more than the graphs & abstract 🤷‍♀️

How could a slavery scandal involving the President of the United States be worse than we thought? This extremely long, extremely detailed, and fully sourced PROOF report explains. This—not the tariff war—is the most important story in America right now. I hope you will consider checking it out.

He’s a gameshow host and every week is sweeps week. No more complicated than that.

Y’all know what to do

Boycotting the grocery store until they start buying an equivalent volume of groceries from me

I know others have said this, but all this tomfoolery could end literally tonight if Congress had 1 ounce of its historical forebears’ gumption

It’s time for Congress to reign in the Mad King. These tariffs haven’t even hit for real and the world is off the rails. Politically, it’s helpful to Dems, but this is why I’m not a good politician b/c I care too deeply about the harm on all people, even on those that hate my very existence.

How about... a crowd of 100,000 blocking access to a golf course... Crowd too big to arrest. When golf is denied, then maybe they'll notice.

Me, a 25 year broadband policy expert: Ezra Klein's complaints about rural broadband suggest he didn't do his research because he misrepresents some programs, and ignores others that accomplished exactly what he's asking for. Klein fans: you just don't understand what he's saying! (repeat 40x)

Ohh "America First" was a hit list

These aren't tariffs. They are a horse's head in the bed of (almost) every world government and business leader.

How many times do you think Putin has climaxed today? Four? Eight times?

I'm watching CNBC. These anchors are so angry. They really didn't believe he'd do it. They're actually just now, 10 years into this shit, realizing he's a maniac hellbent on revenge and there's no grand plan for the markets. Better late than never but holy shit.

Trump is driving the world to a global depression -and destruction of all US influence - using powers delegated to him by Congress. Congress could recall those powers and save everyone from the disaster Trump is determined to inflict

NEW at PROOF: An admittedly terrifying report on what is likely to happen in the United States over the next twelve months. Reader discretion advised.

Every so often, it just comes back to me in full force. The political and economic order that allowed this man to come to power is obviously no longer tenable. The leaders who let it happen obviously have to be replaced. This is an epoch defining failure and we have to turn the page completely.

Those silly eccentrics with their evermasking & their fledgling research

what booker is doing right now is an example of what i mean when i say things like “we need more ambition right now.” there is room in american politics right now for people with ambition to take big stands and reap the rewards. he’s doing it!

Wisconsinites will not be bought. Our votes are not for sale.

I’m not sure how many times this has to happen for people to get it.

🚨This. Is. How. You. Do. It. 🚨

John Adams defended British Soldiers who murdered colonists. NAACP lawyers traveled to the South and sued for integration even though they were not allowed to sleep in the local hotels. And today law firms won't sign their name to a brief because they are scared. That is not my profession.

This is the first of what I think are going to be A LOT of primary challenges along these lines.

The latest crazy just proves what we all know. They are discussing everything on Signal to avoid any discovery or FOIA or archival laws. So illegal but here we are.

From an operational security perspective, this is the highest level of fuckup imaginable. These people cannot keep America safe.

Here’s my question: don’t you have to accept a message request on Signal? You can’t just randomly add a number to a group chat. So doesn’t that mean the Atlantic journalist was already in communication with Hegseth on the platform?

Elon Musk's PACs have spent over $13M backing Trump loyalist Brad Schimel in Wisconsin's Supreme Court race.  If Schimel wins, the court could uphold a total abortion ban, attacks on unions, and gerrymandered maps — and change state law to benefit Tesla.  Follow the money.
