NIH Director Jay Bhattacharya is stammering his way through a CNN hit about the hantavirus

The one other thing I would say: I’ve never seen a better example of how NOT to do public health & infectious disease communications Bhattacharya broke literally every single rule of Comms 101 & we’re going to be using this interview for teaching purposes for generations Utter train wreck 🤦‍♂️

Tell me more about how Republicans and Trump are so tough on crime "Between January and the end of April, federal prosecutors charged eight people with gun or drug offenses – compared to 77 in the same period last year..." www.reuters.com/world/americ...

🔥 “Senator Stevens was DESPERATELY trying to play dumb.” John Oliver clowns 🤡 Senator John Stevens for hilariously trying to pretend he doesn’t know Memphis is a majority-Black city when questioned about the new racist Republican 9-0 map by Sen. @londonlamartn. (From @bluegeorgia.bsky.social )

There are 36 representatives who need their hard drives checked

The hate and vitriol is the one constant

Trump's new tax law extends tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations while cutting $187 billion from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP,) leaving our most vulnerable hungry. Hunger causes a host of other problems that weaken a nation.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but an economy controlled by a handful of oligarchs isn't a "free market."

And who is in charge in this war? Doesn’t sound like it is 🍊💩!

Per NBC: *DACA recipients say monthslong renewal delays prevent them from working, putting their lives in limbo DACA recipients said that while the renewal process was previously painless for them, this year long delays have led them to lose their status.* www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

The US did NOT contact airline passengers who flew with people known to have been infected with hantavirus. Cool cool.

The U.S. Forest Service isn’t managing forests anymore. It’s running a timber operation and poisoning everything else to do it. A yearlong investigation by Mother Jones found that the Forest Service and private logging companies are systematically spraying thousands of

NEW: A passenger returning to the U.S. from that Dutch cruise ship where the hantavirus outbreak occurred has tested positive for the virus, according to HHS. A second is showing mild symptoms.

My 12yo is vehemently anti-AI. It’s not just the slop (which the kids detest). She’s very aware of the environmental cost of uncontrolled, cancerous Data Centre growth and that her generation are being left with the costs.

Honestly, I couldn't give two shits about any of that idiot's distractions until they release the rest of the Epstein files, and start arresting those pedos.

LIAR! MURDERER!

Netanyahu blames plummeting 🇺🇸 support for Israel on “bot farms”, takes no responsibility for it, says what young Americans see are “falsifications” 🤔

Rep. Justin Jones burning a Confederate flag during the special session on Tennessee redistricting Jones: “It’s a form of Jim Crow terror — this is about race. This is about power. This is about silencing communities that have historically been excluded”

I realize that the word "iconic" gets overused but I believe this actually deserves the label.

Inez Beverly Prosser 1895-1934 age 38 First a teacher, Prosser was the first Black American woman to earn a PhD in Psychology in the U.S. in 1933. She used empirical research to reveal the psychological underpinnings of racial discrimination in education. #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth #SheShed

Alabama House Speaker Nathaniel Ledbetter called on the courts to overturn the 14th Amendment. Unfortunately, no one followed up to ask him which part he objected to. (Read more here: joycevance.substack.com/p/rememberin... )

They take over the school board force xAI into Memphis block gun safety ordinances expel their state rep Protect Confederate statues Criminalize Voter reg Federal Occupation Take over their Airport/Utilities Now… strip their representation But “Make Memphis matter”?🤔🤥

…This corrupt Court is now the supreme branch, because it has a power neither of the others have: relative permanence, for lack of facing voters. It can promote dictatorship under a Republican president and hamper execution of the laws under a Democratic one, while always vetoing legislation. \2

WAR. Not One Good Thing Comes From It. Said Every Mother Who Has Lost A Child To It. Every Day Is #MothersDay All Over The World.

The US is in a bizarre situation in 2026: It’s facing a looming energy shortage, yet 47's regime is making deals to pay offshore wind developers nearly $2 billion in taxpayer money to walk away from energy projects. It's a bad deal for all of us! No pay wall.
