Already this year, anti-vaccine activists have downplayed the risks of measles and polio. Now, they’re adding whooping cough to the list, even as cases of the disease surge, killing at least ten babies over the past two years.

The native of El Salvador and resident of Maryland has become a symbol of the Trump administration's policy of mass deportations after he was mistakenly sent to a prison in El Salvador in the spring. n.pr/4q8gHsK

Trump and his MAGA followers have been calling for journalists to be killed for an entire decade. It is unfathomable to me why every journalistic organization in the country doesn't treat them as the enemies that they are, let alone ignores that it's their rhetoric that incites people to violence.

A unit of BP was the high bidder in a US auction for oil and gas drilling rights in the Gulf of Mexico, the first sale held under President Trump’s second term

Community members in Kenner, Louisiana, activate rapid-response teams to follow Greg Bovino and his Border Patrol goons through the neighborhood. They alert residents and warn them not to open their doors unless CBP has a court-ordered warrant.

A Queens family is still looking for their teenage son after he went missing at the end of last month, according to authorities. gothamist.com/news/15-year...

The first hospital in TN to announce it is closing its maternity ward since the Big Bad Bill passed is in rural Pulaski. Our state has been dead last in the country for our maternal mortality rates for 2 years now. This will make matters worse. #MedSky #ReproSky

The first six months of congestion pricing reduced air pollution in the toll zone, the five boroughs and surrounding suburbs by 22 percent. buff.ly/SyWoccJ

There is no sight that more efficiently puts the lie to immigration “court” than the common sight of children “representing themselves.” Children too small to climb into the chair, children in pajamas who don’t know where they are, children not yet old enough to speak.

Of babies infected w/Hepatitis B, 90% develop chronic infection. Of those, 1 in 4 will DIE. They lose the ability to get rid of toxins & make important proteins. Their skin yellows, their abdomen swells, they’re uncomfortable. A fate no one deserves. One we can avoid w/ vaccination. .

Prison disciplinary systems across the U.S. allow for this to happen. Menstruation should not be treated like misconduct. No one should have to choose between their dignity & health – or facing punishment. New must-read from @19thnews.org 👇 19thnews.org/2025/12/puni...

Behind bars, people have restricted access to period products – and the ones they do have access to are low quality. This leaves many menstruating people left to: 🔴 Free bleed 🔴 Hoard tampons 🔴 Make their own tampons And any of these outcomes could lead to severe punishment.

On this day in 1915, the Supreme Court upheld a law providing that an American woman could be stripped of citizenship upon marriage to a foreign husband. U.S. men marrying foreign women were permitted to keep their citizenship.

@natcassidy.bsky.social What’s Kelley & your takes on this? (Asking due to a new, “protected” bike lane in our neighborhood that is hotly contested - even by me, at first, an avid B’lyn biker.)

What a ridiculous ruling. If the idea is that the street has to be restored to the way it was before the bike lane, that strikes me as awfully arbitrary. Why not pick some earlier period and restore it to the design that existed then? It's not as if streets don't change all the time.

Childhood vaccines are well-tested, contrary to claims by anti-vaccine advocates. In some cases, they ask for evidence that would be unethical to collect. www.voicesforvaccines.org/jtf_topics/w...

Truly the stupidest cult. Obsessed with a drug that doesn't work against an infectious disease that they don't even think is real.

#medsky #pedsky #idsky #immunosky #episky I collaborated with exceptionally talented people in infectious diseases to write this Special Article about aluminum salts in childhood vaccines. We review the evidence base for key safety concerns and offer guidance for communication with caregivers.

As RFK Jr.'s new vaccine panel ponders changing the hepatitis B vaccination schedule, some doctors recall past patients, including children, who died painful deaths before there was a vaccine. n.pr/3McwKqG

In redistricting lingo, this is "cracking." The other is "packing" where all of your opponent's support is concentrated in as few districts as possible. Think about this as Minnesota is likely to lose a congressional seat in the 2030 census. It would be *easy* to draw a 6-1 Republican map.

I don’t think this administration is ready for New Orleans rage…..

As New Orleans braces for the arrival of ICE, there is a particular stain that comes with hunting Mexicans and Central Americans in that city. These are the same folks who arrived en masse to help rebuild the city after Katrina and have since become a vibrant part of its renewal. Fuck ICE to hell.

Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.

@schumer.senate.gov @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social Y’all gonna defend your colleague or no?

She shouldn't have to keep doing this by herself. She is supposedly a member of a political party and every single one of her *colleagues* should be BLASTING the fascist in chief. ALL OF THEM. Where is the solidarity???

I would love to see ANYONE in this administration pass the U.S. citizenship exam…..

Jay Bhattacharya and Matthew Memoli aren't bringing "gold standard science" to the #NIH, they are gutting research slowly but surely. When this time is over, they should be hauled before Congress, and shunned for the rest of their lives. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Great culture can save lives. Literally. Amazing letter in today’s @thetimes.com about Tom Stoppard

I think this falls in line with a growing push to recognize actionable harms when christian conservatives face things in public life they don’t like generally. It’s the Hobby Lobbyfication of public life

Glorious morning in @prospectparking.bsky.social for the Prospect Park Track Club #TurkeyTrot aka run for reconciliation benefitting the American Indian Community House. So grateful for those who tend our most treasured places, and work to repair what’s been broken. #HappyThanksgiving

A recent March of Dimes report ranked Alabama as one of the worst states for maternal and infant health. Why is Alabama consistently failing its mothers and children?

The official voice of the US government is cruel, gross, and weird. What is that doing to us?

Literally buying one copy of a book at your local indie bookstore can mean the difference in whether they buy future books from that author.

What if Dems ran on sacrificing James Carville's human rights?

Edwin Ramos , 38, was set to plead guilty to an attempted burglary charge at a hearing in Brooklyn court Friday morning. The judge was then expected to release him from Rikers Island. He died a few hours before that, the city Department of Correction said in a press release.

I've only seen two clips, but I want to repost the people who claimed the dems, especially minority leader, where doing all they can bc "they have no power in Congress." I hope they (the inactive sellouts) are feeling shame today. Someone not yet in municipal office, spoke truth to power.

Students pursuing certain degrees may no longer receive the same amount of reimbursement for their studies now that the Department of Education is implementing various measures from Trump’s One Big Ugly Bill. www.msn.com/en-us/money/....

What is going on today, seriously

WHAT are you even doing, @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social ?!

House votes to denounce ‘horrors’ of socialism ahead of Mamdani-Trump meeting

🔗: https://www.al.com/news/2025/11/us-senate-candidate-suggests-deploying-national-guard-to-alabamas-two-largest-democrat-ran-cities.html  U.S. Rep. Barry Moore, R-Enterprise, mentioned the possibility of the National Guard being deployed in Alabama during a hearing.

Via @annabjournalist.bsky.social: Alabama's new state Senate map was designed by an 18-year-old University of Alabama freshman who submitted his proposals, unsolicited, to a federal court hearing a lawsuit over the districts.

A Trump supporter started murdering his way through an assassination list of Democratic law makers FIVE MONTHS AGO. He murdered my colleague Melissa Hortman, and her husband Mark — and attempted to assassinate my dear friend John Hoffman and his wife Yvette. I was also on the hit list. WTF
