"Moderna has said it is halting plans for late-stage studies of some experimental vaccines aimed at preventing infectious diseases and infections that lurk in the body." Good job, FDA.

Don’t look away from MN. ICE is still wreaking havoc across the state - changing their tactics to deceive Minnesotans - pretending to be construction workers or folks delivering groceries. Still over 2,000 ICE agents in the state. They’re not going anywhere, your anger and outrage shouldn’t either.

Another classic post-Homan day where around school dismissal time we get a flurry of ICE vehicles all across our neighborhoods. Today one vehicle led an observer to their own home and pointed at it. This is a sick game to them, but we won’t be intimidated and we won’t stop until DHS is abolished.

I will. :)

“Air pollution fell substantially as Paris restricted car traffic and made way for parks, people-streets and bike-lanes.” Better for the climate, better for health, better for livability and quality of life. Common sense. Such a no-brainer, it’s remarkable that more cities HAVEN’T done the same.

APPLAUDING VIGOROUSLY

UPDATE #4: Today I spent 45 minutes on the phone speaking with the detective working on the case as we’ve been iced in all week here in Texas & he said he’d be coming by the house tomorrow to meet with me in person so he can collect the pile of evidence I’ve accumulated to turn over to him🙏 🧵(1/3)

Applauding vigorously

Staying informed on current affairs can be overwhelming and depressing. Do it anyway.

Peace, children, peace, the King doth love you well.

bingo

We now have a full-blown European-American crisis, and for no reason that the president is able to articulate

Yeah, good luck with that, ICE.

Given the open racism and rampant racial profiling by ICE, maybe this will be the first MLK Day in recent history where Republicans do *not* trot out the Only MLK Quote They Know

crazy to think how i struggle to ask for any kind of help but the president of the united states asks "can i have your nobel peace prize?"

At what ease Might corrupt minds procure knaves as corrupt To swear against you? Such things have been done.

They jabber on about "Western Civilization" and then ban Plato. It was all just a pretext for barbarism.

“Blood and soil, which is, of course, just mud” is a keeper

I know they’re trying to turn this shooting into Dealey Plaza with their desperate camera angles and excuses for the murderous ICE officer but how do they explain the subsequent refusal to allow a doctor to reach the car? And lying that they already had medics there? All on tape.

O, falsely, falsely murder’d!

Happy #InternationalAnimalRightsDay! Please consider a vegan meal today.

Thank you so much to everyone who listened to my music on Spotify (and elsewhere) this year. There were large percentage increases in all categories which is quite gratifying.

Don't know the final results here but looking like maybe a 15 pt swing toward the Dems from 2024. You absolutely can't extrapolate a special election to a midterm. But that kind of flip in a special is a Defcon 1, we're all going to die type warning for the House GOP.

‘Remigration’ is a term that comes out of the European far right. Its use by the DHS account is a sign of democratic and epistemic collapse

My legal team will be in federal court in North Carolina today fighting against the state's unconstitutional redrawn congressional map. Before you listen to those in the GOP who say we can't win, ask Texas how that worked out for them.

“But the wait times”, I hear the detractors of nationalised health schemes say, as I snag an appointment for a doctor at the earliest available time which is 9 months in the future.

Hey, a lot of people are talking about changing affiliation from Democratic to Independent. Let me tell you why you shouldn’t do that in Colorado. One of the main ways to get a primary challenge candidate on a ballot is to caucus for your party. You need to be registered as a Dem to caucus.

Overreliance on the internet to control your everyday life = no bueno

Not The Onion

JD Vance doth protest too much about group chats where Republican staffers are “just joking” about putting people they don’t like in gas chambers.

It's hard to help Americans left behind because so much of US identity is rooted in individualism. The average American conservative holds all three positions at once: — Virtue signals about supporting US manufacturing — Against raising the minimum wage — Buys foreign imports because they're cheap

Ultimately, the death of US manufacturing is about this attitude. It's easy to say "buy american or stfu" because virtue signaling is free. But it's hard to actually sustain a business because many Americans simply don't want to pay what it costs to produce things ethically in this country

Oregon National Guard Adjutant General, General Gronewold says if they are federalized, that he will advise the Title 10 commander to utilize National Guard Troops to PROTECT protesters at ICE facilities. This is the right answer.

....."globalist" being dogwhistle code for "Jew" amongst the antisemitic crowd.

RIP Jane Goodall. There's so much to say about her career, her activism, her science. Primatology was the home of so many bigoted approaches to race, gender, and animality when she arrived and the field became more humane because of her. A truly transformative figure.

If you're upset about Jimmy Kimmel being "canceled," I'm sure you were just as furious when you heard about Joy Reid and Tiffany Cross or Amber Ruffin or Karen Attiah or Jemele Hill Because Kimmel might still have a job if you were

I am just going to keep posting that the TX governor recently pardoned a political murderer. The dude texted "I'm going to shoot protestors", then went and shot a Black Lives Matter protester. He was convicted in a jury trial. Hard to find a more blatant example of celebrating political violence.

Frank Zeidler, J. Henry Stump, and Jasper McLevy are applauding from the great beyond.

People missing an important point about folks getting fired for whatever they said about Charlie Kirk: Americans are being conditioned to be snitches on their fellow citizens who don’t toe a party line on what is “allowed” to be expressed. And employers are going along. It’s the new secret police

Happy National #FieldHockey Day to all who enjoy the world's 3rd most popular sport! 🏑

me the same, only about northwestern instead

"He reviled, belittled, and demeaned large numbers of my fellow Americans, but he was quite cordial to me" sets my teeth on edge.

Melissa Hortman practiced politics the right way.
