Some children in Dilley were so distraught they cut themselves or talked about suicide, parents told ProPublica. They said kids lost their appetites after finding worms and mold on their food, had trouble sleeping, and were constantly sick.

It’s 2026. There is a measles outbreak in the prison for babies

ICE now confirming that there is a measles outbreak at the Texas concentration camp where young Liam was held.

Just a reminder that George Conway is not fundraising right now to run against a MAGA republican. He is fundraising to run against progressive Democrats.

We keep talking around this point. It gets lost in discourse about youth athletics and bathrooms. But now experts are sounding the alarm. These kinds of warnings about the United States in the modern age are virtually unprecedented.

Last night was definitely a "scavenge D batteries from every flashlight" kind of night so we could get the Hot Wheels track going.

Phil's upload got nuked. This one is still up: www.youtube.com/watch?v=IIm6...

Both of my kids are watching Doctor Who for the first time. Chose to start with Blink based on this post and the fact that my kids already play a game called Weeping Angels. Kids are SEATED and asking time travel questions.

For readers who are about to lose care, I have been told that the Trans Youth Emergency Project is helping the families of trans youth contingency plan to access that care. www.transyouthemergencyproject.org

The entire point of the "Big Tent" has always been to provide cover and excuses for Centrist bigots, and a home for them to continue to push their bigotry from, but safely under the cover of smokescreens and dog whistles. Yesterday, this was once again proven to be true.

Every trans person--including every trans child--deserves the chance to be fully themselves. I'm so sick of seeing trans folks harmed repeatedly and unrelentingly, against all reason and scientific precedent. To my trans friends--I'm so sorry the world keeps trying to dim your light.

I'm sorry #chemsky. My 7 yo has funny sweater day at school tomorrow. I had to do it.

"The playbook here is familiar," @parkermolloy.com writes for HW. "Find a trans person in a position of minor institutional authority. Manufacture or amplify a confrontation. Blast it through the conservative media ecosystem until it becomes national news. Watch as institutions capitulate."

I WANT MY FUCKING BLANKETS BACK YOU MORONS

Just saw Wicked: For Good with my sister, who has never seen the stage show and saw the first movie without knowing it was a Part 1. The post-show discussion has been amazing.

"without subjecting anyone to differential treatment." This is flatly false! Trans people with a passport that does not match with their plain appearance when presented to a border agent is subject to additional hassle compared to a cis person presenting a passport.

Happy Mole Day from Meg A. Mole! There are 6.02 x 10²³ atoms, molecules, or ions in a mole. This number, called Avogadro's number, is a fundamental unit of measure in chemistry. #NationalChemistryWeek

MSNBC Grandmas in Skechers seamlessly reclaiming the frog from 4chan Nazis in about six weeks has gotta be the political upset of the century.

@thebonesbooth.bsky.social just saw the Royal Diner on House. I'm sorry, there is nowhere else to put this information

I just saw someone use the abbreviation “AI;DR” and I’ll be laughing for a while.

I figured out how to edit our ACS Local Section website, and now I can't be stopped.

if you’ve ever even quietly thought “i would just move,” now’s your chance to pony up and make that possible for not just someone but three someones.

On Friday 18 blue state attorneys general BLASTED the Federal Trade Commission, telling it to back off trans youth healthcare and warning of an insidious attempt to reshape the regulation of medicine in the US. And nobody covered it. www.assignedmedia.org/breaking-new...

Got myself and the kids vaxed!

Never change North Denver

TIL "Come Out and Play"/'Keep 'Em Separated' by "The Offspring" was inspired by a grad student experiment with autoclave broth: www.asbmb.org/asbmb-today/... (article from 2014) #chemsky ⚗️🧪

I hope @freddieoconnell.bsky.social is proud of me. I made my daughter take the bus home with me from the Weird Al concert at 12am. Because downtown traffic was crazy!

Post a random pic or else everything will go bad in September.

They're openly calling to lock up every trans person by force. We need every ally to speak out forcefully against this because trans folks cannot do this on our own.

Hey so just fyi, if you're abandoning trans rights you're abandoning all civil rights At that point what the fuck is the point of the democracy you're willing to sacrifice trans people for This actually isn't hard at all, quit making it pretend hard because you finally feel scared too

Grace just sent this me this tok of a woman accidentally recording her cat in slow motions, and I am SOBBING from laughing so hard

And that's the thing: rather than yelling at those of us who refused to vote for a politician who has already thrown trans people under the bus, you should be yelling at your favorite politicians and telling them to course correct on trans issues. You don't win by throwing trans ppl under the bus.

The attacks on trans people are also a piece of this because Black trans women especially are always the most at risk for violent death and now we’ve got all these politicians running around saying “actually trans kids are bad maybe” and people are stanning the same governor who just did this

“But we have bigger fish to fry” You don’t actually? This is the fight? Whether to become white supremacist or not White supremacy is why we are all in this situation

I'm so excited for my itty-bitty paintings!

TIL that the response "Not that I saw" from my husband when I asked if 7 yo had homework meant "I didnt look in his backpack"

NIH scientists say that mRNA vaccines have saved untold thousands of lives. A heroin addled nepo baby whose brain was partially eaten by a worm says mRNA vaccines are worthless and even dangerous. For busy medical patients, it can be hard to know who to trust.

Truly for absolutely all of my UK followers. Please reach out at every level in government to try to stop this. This is an evil and terrible choice, and there is absolutely no driver or impetus here except for pure hate. This is being done to endanger a vulnerable minority in your country.

this was always the endgame, the complete erasure of trans people from public life and - if these people get their way - from existence entirely it is a genocidal campaign and it has no place in a moral society fuck your "just asking questions" about sports

Last month, 140,000 Danes found out that their genetic data was being used in a massive research project-- without their consent. I unpacked how this happened, and why it matters for @science.org www.science.org/content/arti...

My timeline this morning is full of items relevant to newborn screening. Neither are great. Ex. 2 - DMD is not regularly screened for because treatment is a newer development. If the treatments are not improved, widespread screening will be further delayed.

My timeline this morning is full of items relevant to newborn screening. Neither are great. Ex. 1 - This one erodes public trust in NBS.

We should have listened when the modems screamed at us.

I want some zucchini but I don’t believe in paying for a vegetable that people accidentally grow too much of every year.

Thank you for your attention to this scatter!
