MAHA is all marketing and a distraction. It wants to tackle poor air and water quality but the EPA just got defunded. It wants to promote healthy eating, but the admin gutted SNAP benefits that would do just that. Biggest killer of kids? Guns. Totally silent on that. @anacabrera.bsky.social

Completely agree. It’s absolutely outrageous that nobody stood up for @yamiche.bsky.social — media spinelessness has played a major role in how we got here.

Now this is a headline. Front page lead in NYT. And very strong, no-BS story by @julianbarnes.bsky.social Barnes and Catie Edmondson. Respect, to all involved. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/07/u...

This was painful to write. I hate that Emory’s new interim president, on her second day of office, just last week, called for abolishing DEI programs at Emory. open.substack.com/pub/noellemc...

The President of the United States is threatening to go to war with an American city. This is not a joke. This is not normal. Donald Trump isn't a strongman, he's a scared man. Illinois won’t be intimidated by a wannabe dictator.

What’s happening in Fulton County Georgia right now impacts all of us when we go to the polls in 2026 and 2028. We owe it to ourselves & our country to stay informed. joycevance.substack.com/p/five-quest...

This is the digital stasi. Social media influencers utilizing tips from followers for content that they monetize while working with state actors to target the people they want. It's all a spectacle packaged as content. Destroying people's lives for profitable ideological bloodsport.

Refusing to "trust the experts" is meant to be a brave, responsible position. But (as Carl explains in the thread) there is too much knowledge in the world. You have to trust *somebody*, much of the time. If you have no trust in experts, you end up trusting the idiots.

Phang: The Constitution says representatives shall be determined by adding to the whole number of free persons. It doesn’t say you’re only supposed to count U.S. citizens. Trump says you’ve got to redo the census but can’t include “illegals”? Tough shit—the Constitution says otherwise.

I have an incentive for rich people like you @mcuban.bsky.social Federally funded R&D has fueled the innovation that drives American prosperity. Scores of billionaires owe their fortunes to advancements made in labs across the nation. An investment in @standupforscience.bsky.social to help save…

"Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr, who oversees the CDC, did not make a statement the day of the shooting. Late the following morning, more than 30 minutes after posting photos of fishing with his family, Kennedy posted condolences on his official X account..." www.nytimes.com/2025/08/09/u...

Good. No doctor should be forced to turn away families because of political threats.

Important details from this story: 1) Yet another news-break by student journalists (this time @theharvardcrimson.bsky.social) www.thecrimson.com/article/2025... 2) Harvard saying "see you in court," not "let's make a deal." 3) Per Garber, WH/MAGA leaked news of a "deal." NYT then ran with it.

It's really weird to demand accountability from a NYC mayoral candidate for a deadly NYC shooting rather than the current NYC mayor, an ex-cop who campaigned on a "tough on crime" platform and promptly got indicted for crimes

With @aapmhq.bsky.social 2025 annual meeting underway, I am reminded of this reflection following the 2022 meeting coming off the heels of the pandemic. Let our shared humanity be the context moving forward.... @aapm-hlmpsc.bsky.social

"At least 12 people have already died in ICE custody so far this year, the same number that died in all of 2024."

Congress and the courts won’t save us. We are the only ones who can save us. Our next national effort is to train 1 million people in the strategic logic and practice of non-cooperation, as well as the basics of community organizing and campaign design. This is how we stop an authoritarian takeover.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

The evidence is clear: Abortion bans make pregnancy more dangerous and threaten our lives.

I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy. I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.

The entire Latino population in the U.S. is 65 million. She means all of us.

You may have seen videos recently of masked ICE agents aggressively confronting bystanders by shoving phones in their faces and taking pictures of them. Leaked emails show that they’re likely using facial recognition tools to identify and surveil these bystanders. This is a fascist police state.

Following court order, NIH ceases new terminations of politically sensitive grants | Science | AAAS www.science.org/content/arti...

It’s wild that in the video DHS posted in an effort to make the beating of an innocent landscaper (with 3 marine sons) seem justified there’s a masked ice goon pointing a gun at a random car passing by and they don’t seem to think it matters at all

BREAKING: A federal judge has ordered the Trump administration to restore millions of dollars in canceled grants to University of California researchers, calling the terminations flagrantly illegal and unconstitutional. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

WATCH: “This is f*cking kidnapping! That’s not your badge… I do have a little bit of education… get the f*ck out of here, racial profiling is illegal…” A brave woman melts ice 🧊 💪🏽 www.instagram.com/reel/DLOWbEs...

This is the kind of excessive force case DOJ routinely prosecutes. They should open an investigation here, based on the misconduct not the victims status.

Host: Are you saying the US did not see intelligence that the Supreme Leader had ordered weaponization? Rubio: That’s irrelevant Host: No, that's a key point Rubio: No it’s not… Forget about intelligence

The news really sucks today. Instead of boosting a harmful Supreme Court decision, here’s something better: a practical guide on how to support the LGBTQ+ youth in your life. Because they deserve our attention, our protection, and our love. 💖🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 www.thetrevorproject.org/resources/ar...

Major development a Columbia. Unclear what effect this will have or how many grants it may affect. And it will be important to learn what Columbia gave up to get this. But a major development nonetheless.

Adrian Andrew Martinez, a U.S. citizen, tried to intervene as federal immigration agents questioned another man in a Walmart parking lot. ICE agents violently swarm him. Now missing. By law, he has a right to an attorney. This is how police states operate.

NEW: We submitted a public comment opposing the Department of Energy's attempt to eliminate long-established requirements that DOE buildings be accessible to people with disabilities. This proposal is a violation of federal disability protections.

"This represents racial discrimination and discrimination against America's LGBTQ community," said Young, an appointee of Republican former President .. Reagan. "Any discrimination by our government is so wrong that it requires the court to enjoin it and at an appropriate time, I'm going to do it."

A proper headline. Take note, @washingtonpost.com

ProPublica is looking for those whose NIH grants have been terminated. www.propublica.org/getinvolved/...

www.science.org/content/arti... Guidance seems to change daily, and sometimes staff find out that grants have been cut at the same time as PIs. This isn't a good way to run a *business*, let alone a complicated funding entity meant to improve human health and wellbeing.
