Forgiveness is for fools, and the best apology is changed behavior.

Trust is earned. Respect is yours to lose. Forgiveness is overrated.

I think the worst part of this mealy mouthed shit take is that it goes on for two more posts afterwards. Stfu man! He helped terrorize people across this entire state via ICE! He cut our healthcare! I don’t give a fuck about his sense of humor! Fuck you!

I may not have agreed with Hannibal Lecter on everything but he always brought good wine to dinner parties and told delightful stories. He will be missed by the many people he did not eat.

Senators dying from a brief illness need FBI investigation???

「 Never miss a payment. Enroll in autopay ! 」 It is legit hilarious that you think that’s a realistic option for me that wouldn’t almost immediately trigger overdraft charges and a bunch of other knock-on effects

Good that NY was tough on this... $544k civil penalty to DeVuono for falsely reporting giving at least 1 vax to 162 kids btwn 11/2019 & 1/2022. Submitted info abt "hundreds" of vaccinations never given. Already forfeited $1.2M in 2024 plea deal for a COVID-19 vax scheme; lost nursing licenses.🛟😷🧭

Microbes meet global heat. (And an unqualified CDC chief) Warm weather accelerates the life cycle of the Cyclospora parasite. Meanwhile regulatory rollbacks, data gaps, and biological tracking hurdles that have severely hindered the agency’s ability to track and stop the current multi-state surge.

Holy fuck

Welp, todays a big day in the legal matter. Somehow, there’s now more cartel?! There will be many lawyers though, so hopefully back to shitposting this evening.

what they learned from minneapolis was not “don’t do this again” but “keep it quiet next time”

Investor? Landlord?

We built these public health surveillance systems because previous outbreaks taught us we needed them. Now we're dismantling them while norovirus and Cyclospora outbreaks are already underway. Here's why that matters: www.mesoscalenews.com/p/the-war-on...

you guys are really beating a dead horse with all the mitch mcconnell jokes

A friend disclosed to me this week that a family member has Long Covid. It was heartbreaking to learn what the family has been through as a result. Keep yourselves safe. You STILL don’t want this. And you’re STILL at risk.

Cities and counties in the USA are now equipping garbage trucks with AI-powered cameras that scan neighborhoods for property violations and code enforcement issues.

The same people that refuse to give their newborns a vitamin K shot, are perfectly fine with keeping McConnell alive by artificial means.

Never forget, a 13-year study found that protected bike-lanes led to a drastic decline in fatalities for all road users. ALL ROAD USERS. What about painted bike-lanes? No safety improvement at all. For sharrows, it’s actually safer to NOT have them. Via @usa.streetsblog.org @nyc.streetsblog.org

Women all over the world are fighting back against tyranny and fascism. Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum will pursue criminal charges for the deaths of 17 Mexicans killed by ICE. If only the US Justice Department would do the same.

Great explainer by @drjenndowd.bsky.social on this hopeful news. 🧪😷🛟 Sociology health policy demography idsky

OH I love this! I wish I could tell everyone how many psychology PhDs I knew who ended up working at the tech giants to make things more addictive or more medically accurate to extract our behavior so they can eventually sell it back to us as a subscription. I can't though because of the NDAs.

Michican Democratic Senate candidate @abdulelsayed.bsky.social released his AI/Data Center plan the morning I interviewed him. His plan focuses on democratic governance of the technology. His opponent has consistency supported rapid expansion of AI/data centers with no guardrails.

Multidrug-resistant Cupriavidus gilardii was flushed into public sewers. But what could possibly go wrong? www.syracuse.com/us-news/2026...

Another outstanding thread by Cory.

In a few weeks when news stories of abuse and vandalism at Chinese restaurants start coming out, can we please make sure they mention this vile imagery? 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻

Please remember: IN THE UNITED STATES, A SURVIVOR OR VICTIM OF A CRIME CANNOT "PRESS CHARGES." That's a myth from the movies and television. Whether or not criminal charges are filed is SOLELY the decision of the prosecutor and/or law enforcement personnel assigned to the case.

Holy. Fuck.

It's a Tropical Fuckstorm day. My body craves the cacaphony and agitated despair. Some days are like that.

We can see this in the ICE flight data. Domestic “round-up” flights are spiking, and some activist flight watchers report the flights are getting fuller. But deportation and removal flights remain steady. This means the concentration camps are getting packed to the brim. It’s awful to comprehend.

The ICE murder of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo deserves the same fury as Renee Good and Alex Pretti

Whoops! Two things the Dem establishment will not allow. Looks like a bummer fucking November.

“From Pax Americana to Pax Silica” *** Trump’s State Department literally named their new global initiative “Pax Silica”. I’m sure it’s fine… ⬇️⬇️⬇️

On The Guardian and its sneaky, insidious methods of propaganda open.substack.com/pub/donotpan...

This is so bad. Trump is going after NIAID scientists. "In effect, research policy is being handled by the Department of Justice. America’s doctor may soon be dragged out to testify once more: The science that he championed appears to be unfettered; the... 🧵1/2 www.theatlantic.com/science/2026...

"Viral persistence refers to the ability of a virus to remain in its host for an extended period. Although most non-retroviral RNA viruses are traditionally known for causing acute, self-limiting infections, accumulating evidence of the detection of viral products long after the infectious virus..."

I want to remind every American that there are roughly 50,000 untested rape kits in the US. The national reporting is incomplete so the true backlog is projected to be between 90,000 and 400,000 untested kits nationwide. 🧵

The CDC is “running on fumes” thanks to the loss of 3,200 employees, firefighting numerous epidemiological hotspots such as measles, Ebola, screwworm, and cryptosporidiosis, and low morale. Only 200 employees have been hired since Trump took office.

ICE is still kidnapping and killing people.

So, you're saying he's being nominated for the Supreme Court?

Dammit I did the thing: took afternoon meds when I grabbed my lunch but then waited to long to eat and now I have to do the thing where you force yourself to eat despite the stimulants. I get that if you don't need them, that sounds useful, but you just crash hard & eat more at bedtime if you skip.

Believe victims. All sex pests are "good guys" to a lot of people who aren't their victims. It's how they get away with it.

This is going to sound dumb later and hopefully a false alarm, but I'm dealing with a legal issue against a powerful entity with a history of threatening violence against opponents so:

The US is responsible for this

This ∨ also brings up one of the key answers to 「 what are you gonna do without the police ? 」  The police DO NOT FUCKING HELP AND GENERALLY JUST RE-TRAUMATISE PEOPLE AND MAKE THINGS WORSE Get your car stolen and they will laugh at you and report SA and they will generally do worse than nothing

Hey y’all, we have one week left to submit comments about The Regime implementing political review of grants, which would harm us all. For more information about submitting a comment or writing to your elected officials, Defend Public Health has a step by step guide for you right here.

Me to myself as a healthcare provider looking through the news today: Do not root for disease. Do not root for disease. Do not root for disease…
