“This is perhaps the most extreme sign that the Supreme Court has abandoned law for politics,” he said in a statement. “There is no way under law to make sense of the vast new power the court has taken for itself.” www.nytimes.com/2025/10/03/u...

This is the obvious absurdity of pulling ICEBlock. It is obviously legal, protected speech for anyone to say, in any forum, “I just witnessed some police activity at location X”. Indeed, people have been doing this regularly on social media since its inception.

I've never paid that much attention to Bari Weiss except for when she downplayed COVID but this tidbit from her Wikipedia is really something.

Gov. Pritzker has said all the right things, but now he needs to act and get these state troopers out of there.

What the hell. This is horrific.

A pregnant woman in Alberta, Canada contracted measles. This led to her baby being born prematurely. The baby died. Another preventable tragedy.

Is he planning to harass the wealthy Super Bowl attendees or the stadium workers? Either way I'm sure it won't backfire at all.

If someone says "why don't they just get in line," send them this.

Can you show me how to cook something from your country? Great, now we're best friends.

jane goodall made me believe i could just go up and hug any wild animal

ICE lied about the person it shot, claiming he was a "criminal," but NBC finds that he had no criminal history whatsoever. Not even traffic tickets in 12 years! It also lied about the extent of the injuries to its agents....

Wonderful to see Nashville close out a trophy win with some shithousery

🏆 NASHVILLE SC HAVE WON THE 2025 U.S. OPEN CUP! It's their first trophy in club history.

RFK Jr. still hasn’t signed off on the ACIP recommendations for COVID19 vaccines. It’s been almost 2 weeks. The impact of his continued maliciousness is that these shots still aren’t available to families for their kids through the Vaccines for Children program, which about half of US kids use.

Standing on a street corner and screaming "UNDOCUMENTED IMMIGRANTS ALSO PAY TAXES" until someone puts me in a care home

ER doc here! This is a lie. Wait times are up because the American healthcare system is an unsustainable business model and a for-profit national healthcare system just doesn’t work. These problems will continue to get worse until we change that system. It literally has nothing to do with immigrants

Are you a healthcare worker or scientist (or know someone who is)? #RFKJr is bragging that he has your support. Time to let Congress know HCWs and scientists do NOT support this man. Take a few minutes to send in a postcard. @defendpublichealth.bsky.social www.defendpublichealth.org/campaign/hel...

I'm sure the attendees will have a lovely time if this is the kind of heavy-hitting, incisive material they'll be getting

"This Court has listened carefully to the reasons given by Öztürk’s captors for masking-up and has heard the same reasons advanced by ... ICE. It rejects this testimony as disingenuous, squalid and dishonorable. ICE goes masked for a single reason—to terrorize Americans into quiescence."

You don’t have to read between the lines. Trump is literally saying, publicly and out loud, that he is at war — actual, military-involved war — with Americans and American cities he personally dislikes. That impeachment is politically off the table is a national scandal.

RFK Jr’s video is deeply misleading. No one claims that vaccines were responsible for the dramatic decline in infectious disease mortality in the first half of the 20th century. Every medical student learns that the major contributors were advances in public health, sanitation and nutrition.

the president of the united states wants to use the american military to kill american citizens on american soil. that's the whole story!

I fully understand how difficult it is to remain focused on any one particular atrocity but this really ought to be a serious scandal and people need to pay heavy prices for this

💉New study of HPV vaccine shows “robust population-level effectiveness & herd protection in adolescent girls & young women” From 2006-2023: ➡️ Proportion of vaxxed women positive for high-risk HPV-16 & -18 types fell 98.4%, proportion of unvaxxed women fell 71.6% 1/2 jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

A measles outbreak in Indonesia has led to 17 deaths and more than 2,000 infections in East Java. Low vaccination rates are cited as a key factor, prompting a new campaign to reach thousands of children. Source: www.pbs.org/newshour/wor...

Can't believe the guy who did a "documentary" about how racism doesn't exist is being racist

God bless Chicago

THAT'S RIGHT EDDIE NKETIAH!!!

It's like they wrote down the most evil things they could think of on pieces of paper and draw a new one out of a hat every day. Today it's "fire military veterans for protesting racism."

Only an administration intent on committing war crimes in the present and future would stoop to calling Wounded Knee a "battle" rather than what it truly was: a massacre of over 250 Lakotas, mainly women, children, and the elderly. 1/

In a genuine WOW moment, this administration publicly acknowledges (perhaps for the first time) that an ICE officer violated procedure and will be taken off duty and subject to an investigation. This is a step in the right direction — I just wish it wasn't only because of such an awful viral video.

Trump repeatedly expressed his concern about autism yesterday when he told pregnant women not to take Tylenol. The research on Tylenol is mixed, some studies show an association, some don't. It's worth noting how his administration has undermined autism science www.propublica.org/article/rfk-...

“Children today receive roughly 4-5 times as many shots as their 1986 counterparts, yet are exposed to 95% fewer antigens and only modest increases in aluminum. We’ve achieved far more protection with far less immune burden through decades of scientific precision.” www.statnews.com/2025/06/24/t...
