Adam Hamawy is a seasoned veteran combat medic who literally saved the life of a sitting senator of the United States; volunteered to treat Bosnians and Palestinians during their genocides, helped 9/11 victims on 9/11, and this is how the NYT decides to describe him after he wins a seat to Congress.

A company that makes a no-tech, repairable tractor is having trouble keeping up with demand from farmers sick of John Deere's repair monopoly and simply want a tractor that turns on and works: www.404media.co/demand-is-bo...

This is good news that I missed and maybe you did, too. Virginia has joined the NPVIC!!! Only 4 states more and we can fully defang the electoral college!

Artificial intelligence-generated content is everywhere these days, making it increasingly difficult to separate fact from fiction, particularly when it comes to breaking news. Here are some tips for distinguishing AI-generated content from reality. https://to.pbs.org/47FCvVP

It is wrong and criminal for government agents to kidnap someone, send them to die in a concentration camp, and disappear them, regardless of immigration status. But it's still worth noting she has a green card. The government doesn't even pretend this is about deporting undocumented people.

this is not my ideal way of seeing my lab published in Science magazine, but, here we are. Roger is well known as a devoted life-long plant scientist, but he is also an incredible human being who shows constant kindness and encouragement to everyone around him. this is simply not fair.

Do you want the Tank Girl future? Because this is how we get the Tank Girl future and last time I checked none of you are sentient mutant kangaroos.

Again this should inspire wall-to-wall media coverage for months. The crowning achievement of the Civil Rights Movement is dead. Black people just lost all of their remaining political power in the South. This is a monumental moment in American history that simply isn't being treated as such.

One reason Republicans are banning books and classes on race is because reading even one book about Jim Crow or Reconstruction makes it clear that they are hoping to reinstate segregation.

This was a hard story to report. Newborns who don’t get a vitamin K shot are 81 times more likely to develop a condition where they bleed uncontrollably. But more and more families are declining the shot. And babies are dying. www.propublica.org/article/more...

So the Feds did more to investigate VA workers who went to Alex Pretti memorial than those who killed him.

you do not tax billionaires to fund universal healthcare. you, yes you the person reading this, and everyone you know, pay more in taxes to fund universal healthcare. you tax billionaires to take away a gun that Elon Musk is pointing at your head.

This is correct. There is no future of democratic self government in the US with an unreformed Supreme Court. The Court is riddled with corruption and abuses of power and rooting out that corruption is a sine qua non of civic democracy in the United States.

We're on the cusp of turning dozens of currently-terminal cancers into curable or chronic ailments. Sam Neill's experience could be replicated for thousands of others, but the Trump Administration killed the cancer moonshot and set the US powerhouse of research back by a decade.

by my tally we are now spending ~$2B to companies to NOT build more energy infrastructure. in the middle of an energy crisis

This is bad, incredibly bad. Wiping out the National Science Foundation board kills …. Everything at NSF, flatlines NCAR (National Center for Atmospheric Research), our Antarctica program, our geophysics programs, just… everything, the entire foundation of science in the United States.

How does that provision make any sense at all for American farmers?

Nearly 4,400 fewer U.S. teens and young adults died by suicide than projected in the first two-and-a-half years of the 988 mental health crisis hotline, a sign the program is working even as it faces long-term funding challenges. https://to.pbs.org/4cFt4ao

Still feel like "Musk and his crew of incels destroyed a bunch of stuff they didn't understand and thereby hastened the deaths of millions of children" did not get the public attention it warranted.

Every Republican who voted YES to another $70 billion ICE slush fund at 3 AM last night said NO to child care.   Republicans said NO to health care. NO to helping working Americans in any way at all.   I'll be making sure everyone knows it.

More research is necessary but nearly all of the patients who responded to the personalised vaccine are still alive six years later.

Serious point - if every public aspect of Trump isn’t eradicated, America will be forever Trump. The Germans know. And Trump knows.

It’s worth watching this video when critiquing the climate movement. Any climate movement that doesn’t move sharp to the left will fail against fascism.

I switched to @libro.fm for all my audio books (and @bookshop.org for my ebook and physical books) and can now sleep the sleep of the just.

this is why there’s been mass revolt and opposition to data centers being built in communities. it is genuinely a health hazard to live this close to something emitting this much sound. these need to stop being built

Absolutely horrifying. ICE continues to terrorize and shoot innocent people.

It is hard to capture what a sweeping strategic defeat the war in Iran has been for the United States. I’m going to thread here some of the posts today that try to capture those effects. Here’s the first:

The singular goal of all future US politics is to ensure Trumpism is defeated and cannot again take root here, and everything that serves that end is to be considered and prioritized. It's a holistic organizing principle, from a Green New Deal to Nuremberg 2 to expanding the court to Reconstruction.

It is sad when the vice-president of the United States sees his job as spreading Kremlin propaganda.

Trump told ABC’s Jonathan Carl that he’s looking at going in with Iran to charge ships moving through the Strait of Hormuz - a joint protection racket. Trump: “It’s a beautiful thing” Zero morals, Mob Rule in the US.

“The majority of Americans are open to living car-free even after decades of car-centric planning, a new survey finds…A stunning 18% of car-owning U.S. residents indicated that they were ‘strongly interested’ in living car-free, and another 40% said that they were ‘open’ to it.” @usa.streetsblog.org

If you have any information at all on these plans, now is the time to share it. Reach me on Signal at marisakabas.04

When Trump posts a deranged, insulting rant that threatens war crimes, it's treated as a fresh approach from a bold leader. When AOC gave an off-the-cuff answer consistent with decades of sensitive US–Taiwan–China relations, they transcribed ordinary verbal breaks to suggest ignorance and waffling.

In light of the conversation about how hard it is to promote your own book: Post a link to buy your book here and I’ll boost it cause you destroyed yourself to get it done, your publisher won’t help you sell it, and you deserve cheers and admiration for your accomplishment.

The DOJ quietly closed more than 23,000 criminal cases in the first six months of President Donald Trump’s administration, abandoning hundreds of investigations into terrorism, white-collar crime, drugs and other offenses in order to pursue immigration cases. minnesotareformer.com/2026/04/01/t...

Cities can now achieve “what was once thought impossible”: cutting air pollution by 20–45% in little more than a decade. 19 cities, including London, San Francisco and Beijing, cut levels of both PM2.5 and nitrogen dioxide (NO2) by more than 20% since 2010. buff.ly/hsm3JlY #ShareGoodNewsToo
