For parents of children caught in school shootings, the burden is overwhelming—and the answers are painfully few. Dr. Dara Kass’ latest is a must-read. https://contrarian.substack.com/p/what-parents-can-do-when-their-child

My daughter spent hours in a bathroom this weekend as we waiting for the lockdown to be over. A few lessons I learned along the way. open.substack.com/pub/contrari...

@darakass.com, a NYC emergency medicine physician whose daughter Hannah was among students sheltering at Brown on Saturday, posts at @contrariannews.org about a stark reality of American parenting: "If your child hasn't been touched by this, at the rate we are going, they certainly will be." [1/2]

Nothing scarier!

I’ve had an incredible first week sharing my book, Giving Up Is Unforgivable: A Manual For Keeping A Democracy with friends across the country. Next up, San Francisco. a.co/d/0GGCiHU

Hi, I'm the ProPublica reporter who's been tracking an unusual stat: U.S. citizens grabbed by immigration agents. I did it because the government isn’t. This is what I found.

Today, I'm chatting with @darakass.com about the impacts of the Republican health care crisis on every day people. #TrumpShutUSDown Tune in at 12pm MST/3pm EST ⬇️

This weekend has been hard. I tried to put into words why. open.substack.com/pub/feminemf...

If the FDA moves to restrict mifepristone access against the weight of decades of evidence, it will break the trust the American people have in this critical agency. How can we trust any of the FDA's decisions if it is so clearly politicized? Dr. Dara Kass gets into it @darakass.com

Here are some heroes for today: Idaho physicians fighting for women’s health in a heartbreaking practice environment (35% of the ob/gyn workforce have left since Dobbs) after realizing that there was no cavalry coming #WIMS

@darakass.com at #PWIMS2025: “If you watch #ThePitt, you know America thinks you can get an abortion in the ED. The truth is you most often can’t.” We wrote about that disconnect here: www.autonomynews.co/the-pitt-sho...

WARNER: Do you accept the fact that 1 million Americans died from covid? RFK Jr: I don't know how many died W: You're the secretary of health and human services. You don't have any idea how many Americans died from covid? RFK Jr: I don't think anybody knows that W: How can you be that ignorant?

Thank you @jeremyfaust.bsky.social Demetre, Dan, and I ("D3") using our voices to raise the alarm for public health

I am a proud member of the "I don't care" club for health professionals who do not GAF about this administrations perceptions of their commitment to health equity and ALSO the "I do not care club" for post/perimenopausal women. My dance card is getting full.

Proud to be signatory on this letter.

The startup world is quietly abandoning .com domains, and the data is fascinating. We analyzed 4,000+ YCombinator & Techstars startups and found: 85% of .ai/.pro/.global startups got their exact brand match. Startups aren't compromising. The old "you need .com to be credible" rule? Dead.

I didn’t see this posted anywhere else but this is our warning sign. As expected

Instead of taking steps to improve #maternalhealth we're making treatment harder. The result will be more deaths.

Sarah Milgrim was so much more than someone about to be engaged. She served on the civil society team at the Embassy of Israel, dedicating her life and career to building bridges. (1/2)

Does this mean the next White Lotus has to be shot in Fort Lauderdale?

STOP USING THE WORD DEPORTED FOR CITIZENS!!! This has to stop. Media outlets. Posters. Everyone. It’s not deportation.

If the U.S. government is going to take the position that, once removed from the United States, folks can’t be brought back, then it sure seems to me that federal courts should be reflexively and categorically barring *all* removals until they’re 100 percent certain that the removals are lawful.

"The notion that taxing Lesotho gemstones is necessary for the U.S. to add steel jobs in Ohio is so absurd that I briefly lost consciousness in the middle of writing this sentence." @dkthomp.bsky.social with keen observations. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

Susan Crawford won her seat despite Musk trying to buy it and today @mallorymcmorrow.bsky.social launched her Senate Campaign with a viscerally powerful ad about what is possible. Watch this launch video and you will feel the same. youtu.be/p6jOsZPk7pQ

Same. Even folks who knew they were likely going to lose their jobs are shocked at how many others were let go as well.

BREAKING: A federal court ruled that Alabama cannot prosecute people for helping others travel across state lines to access abortion care. This is a win for our freedom of speech and our right to travel freely.

That Pitt episode hit me in my gut. Even if Noah Wyle never wins an award for this role, he will have my enduring admiration for showing the world who we are- and what we have been through. Thank you to everyone to made this show happen.

988 Lifeline - the National suicide and crisis hotline, is supported by SAMHSA at HHS Local treatment for drug addiction is supported by SAMHSA at HHS. Yesterday Trump/Musk/Kennedy cut a BILLION dollars of SAMHSA funding. They say they care mental health and drug addiction. Is that a lie too?

Listening to this in advance of reading their book Abundance. @ezrakleinbot.bsky.social and @dkthomp.bsky.social are so spot on. I am hopeful this helps people crack the code on pragmatic and effective progressivism. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

I just watched this week’s episode of the Pitt. Yes, this is what we do. Yes, this is how we do it. IMHO this one of the most important shows on TV right now. The only way out is through. Let’s start solving these problems together.

There is zero objective evidence so far that any law was broken - but a lot of objective evidence that these clinics were serving the prenatal needs of pregnant patients in Texas. How pro-life….
