Hey @corporate.comcast.com, Why are you funding the illegal demolition and desecration of The White House — the People’s House? apnews.com/article/dona... www.bbc.com/news/article... @indivisiblephl.bsky.social @inquirer.com

Hey Governor Shapiro @governor.pa.gov, Not a good look to be fundraising off No Kings when you couldn’t be bothered to show up and speak at any of the dozens of protests held across the state—especially when your next election is over 2 years from [email protected] @indivisiblephl.bsky.social

Wanted: Super-cut of famous actors reading lines from the Declaration of Independence interspersed with images of the ways Trump reenacts every grievance cited by the Founders. Tell me if it already exists. #NoKings #Indivisible

Here’s the money quote if you’re wondering how people could vote GOP and against their self-interests: “...the healthcare industry faces an additional basic challenge: communicating to Medicaid recipients...who never understood themselves to be receiving public funds in the first place."

Done deal? Not really. In 1988, Congress passed a much less controversial, bipartisan long-term care program for seniors with bipartisan support. But, scenes like this forced them to repeal it months later. youtu.be/qre7DzEtxyc?...

#AllElectionsMatter. When Republicans control the majority they set the agenda. People will Suffer and Die because of the way the Republican majority in the House and Senate voted today as was outlined in #Project2025 and driven by DJT and his Cabinet. #IndivisiblePA @indivisiblepa.bsky.social

The Trump administration is violating the Constitution, but understanding this theory can help fight back. Read the full story here ⤵️

Remember when SCOTUS ruled Feds couldn’t cut a state’s #Medicaid funding if they refused to expand #Medicaid as required under the #ACA/#Obamacare? Now, it seems ok to cut Alzheimers Ds research if you don’t like a Uni’s English lit curriculum or a state’s funding if they don’t ban #trans athletes.

@maddow.msnbc.com and Eric Holder on air tonight calling for lawyers to fight. Take a cue from Pakistan and Turkey where lawyers took to the streets to fight for the rule of law.

Important data about how anti-mask/anti-vax sentiment led to a disproportionately higher COVID mortality in Red regions despite their having both more warning time and lower population density on their side.

When will we see the lawyers take to the streets? @marcelias.bsky.social

Shakespeare had it wrong: you don't need to kill all the lawyers, just threaten their income. Where is their outrage? The rules they live by have changed and they don’t seem to notice or care. Lawyers can/do protest. Pakistan & Turkey. tribune.com.pk/story/250697... www.wboy.com/news/world/t...

I had no idea. www.gocomics.com/doonesbury/2...

Hey, @johnfetterman.com, Musk, Trump, et al have effectively shut down huge parts of our government by firing the people who do the work & illegally canceling ongoing programs. A vote FOR the CR perpetuates the chaos brought on by this shadow coup. No CR until the GOP restores sanity.

Do you know why no one needs a smallpox vax? It’s because the disease was vaccinated out of existence. If every child were vaccinated against measles, then soon no future child would need the shot. In 2000, measles was eradicated in the US but it came back because too many kids were unvaccinated.

5 years ago, I tweeted a simple graphic illustrating why delaying & spreading out Covid-19 cases was critical for keeping hospitals, etc. running. The “Flattening the Curve” model quickly went viral as the real virus spread. It was used by officials worldwide to explain why action was needed. 1/

I imagine we’ll be seeing more scenes like this in the coming weeks and months when senior realize what’s in the GOP plans for Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security. No wonder they won’t hold town halls. youtu.be/qre7DzEtxyc?...

Kudos to @propublica.org for revealing what the government seeks to hide! Expect Texas and RFK Jr's CDC to 1) Deny findings without providing the relevant data; and 2) Further restrict access to anonymous data to stymie similar analyses. Propublica shows that a #ShadowCDC is possible—and necessary.

The notion that Trump's "I'm king" tweet is "just trolling" or "a joke" presents an opportunity to recreate my just-joking thread (porting it over from the Bad Place): 1. I wrote my PhD dissertation on the social function of humor (in literature & film) and here's the thing about "just joking."

Excellent explanation of impact of public health cuts. youtube.com/watch?v=__yL...

If you read one thing today read our latest piece we just posted. This one is a very important one. Please consider reading and sharing it with your friends, family, and neighbors. And as always, please share your thoughts and ideas. I am also going to post all of the text here as a thread. 1/

It appears the US Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC) has been totally compromised by misguided leadership. States must join together to create a new CDC to perform core public health functions: disease surveillance, collecting/disseminating data & deploying cross-border response teams.

Any organization that is forced to constantly refer back to its founding charter and bylaws is dysfunctional because norms have broken down. This is where we’re at.

Sadly, I see no painless way through this. Shit gotta get worse before it gets better. “Let all the poisons that lurk in the mud hatch out.” — I, Claudius

This old scene popped into my head for no particular reason…https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zYjlZVNFjiI&list=FL8rhxLebdAiNeJ2rxOiDEkQ&index=7

Caroline Kennedy is the cousin of RFK Jr who is sitting for his confirmation hearing today to be Health and Human Services Secretary. Yesterday she released this statement on her cousin that Every voter needs to read. @fetterman.senate.gov must vote NO on his nomination. apnews.com/article/caro...

Like others, I had a sudden urge to find a link to this scene from Dr. Strangelove proving that sometimes it’s hard to control yourself. youtu.be/ddWNMSUbcGIo

News media should adopt a standardized way of presenting in-line fact checks with a link to the source. The curly braces don’t get used much. E.g.: “Trump nominee says vaccines cause autism {Repeated studies debunk this claim.}."

The right to know who/what is human is a human right. AI bots should be clearly labelled, "not human." Enough with the uncanny valley crap.

They discovered fluoride's benefit because it's found naturally in some water systems. Fluoridation is about standardizing the amount to achieve maximum protection against cavities. If water in my hometown was fluoridated, I wouldn't have so many fillings.

3 types of Trump nominees: competent, corrupt and nincompoops. Treasury is important to them so a nominally qualified guy got the nom. They want to corrupt/co-opt defense & intelligence agencies, so corrupts loyalists are picked. Oz & RFK Jr are there to take the hit when health is decimated.

Accountability matters. "In the middle ages, when pestilence seized upon a town, the citizens put to death the physicians. Now-a-days, have they not sometimes need to put first on trial the legislators?" --Dr. Benjamin Rush (1746-1813). As quoted in the NJ Health Commission Report, 1874.

When will they need to reprint these signs? Before vaccines, this was how communities controlled the spread of infectious diseases.

In 1943, the US Army(!) produced this film about how fascism takes root through the incitement of minority group hatred. The fact that it's easy to believe a teacher could get fired for showing it says all we need to know about the times in which we live. youtu.be/vGAqYNFQdZ4?...

Hello World! Like many others, I'm looking forward to bluer skies.
