GOOD NEWS! For the first time ever, Huntington's disease has been successfully treated. A groundbreaking new miRNA treatment, AMT-130, slowed the progression of the disease by 75%. These results are likely to support the first approval of a genetic treatment for the rare neurodegenerative condition.

my woke take is that entirely too many people feel entitled to the benefits of a social contract while not feeling bound by the responsibilities of said contract

Yes. Yes kids should be wearing masks in schools and being given cleaner air. Those masks should be comfy and cheap. Why? Because kids are getting sick with a disease that we know very little about, and what we do know, is looking problematic.

Every once in awhile you run across someone so incredibly slimy, so untethered to reality, morals, ethics, and truth that you can see the flicker of evil in their eyes when they speak. Lil'Mike's Johnson is one of those.

Friendly reminder that Virginia Giuffre’s posthumous memoir drops Tuesday and contains the truth she wanted the world to hear about those who abused her and the cost of silence. Buy it. Read it. Give the woman some justice.

"Person impeached for insurrection sends billions to Argentina during US gov't shutdown" and "Felon convicted of fraud pardons felon convicted of fraud" and "Long-time Epstein associate posts video depicting himself as a king dumping diarrhea on Americans from a fighter jet" are factual statements

Oh wow

Mike Johnson: "We're fighting for healthcare as well. Not just in word but in deed. We put in the one big beautiful bill, real reforms to Medicaid to make it work better." (The bill in fact cuts nearly $1 trillion from Medicaid.)

Jeffries: "They care about George Santos and freeing him than they do about providing healthcare to everyday Americans."

WELKER: Does Trump need to get tougher with President Putin? ZELENSKYY: Yes

World War 2 veterans, the original antifa, took part in the nationwide protests against the fascist Trump regime. #3E #NoKings #50501Movement #indivisible #wearetheflood

Who writes this insanity for The Hill?! “President Trump on Friday welcomed Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to the White House for a third time to discuss ending his country's war against Russia.” Ukraine was INVADED in 2014.

Funny, how the "No Kings" protesters were "elderly white hippies" in August (per Stephen Miller), but are "pro-Hamas terrorists and violent criminals" in October (per Karoline Leavitt). It's *almost* as if this regime makes its shameless lies up as it goes along . . .

Make it make sense. [Cartoon by Adam Zyglis]

if content creators are gonna hold the tiny clip-on mic anyway why don’t they just use a regular sized mic on a stand

Solidarity with the teachers!

I was born in 1972. The replacement rate he's panicked about has been below 2.1% for almost every year of my life. If you're really worried about the population falling, giving immigrants a path to citizenship is an obvious and easy solution. Unless there's ... something about them you don't like?

“Young adults aren’t having enough kids” bro I’m employed full-time with a damn PhD and I’m struggling to afford both groceries and rent. I love kids but I can barely afford my pets. Want us to have kids? Try UBI, rent control, universal healthcare, cheaper child care.

Like a good neighbor? @deadder.bsky.social

The Supreme Court’s majority right wing indicated in oral arguments that they think racism is over on the same day that the vice president defended the “I love Hitler” guy, and that the NYT reported that the current administration plans to accept only white, English-speaking refugees.

“Restore merit, end DEI” says man who could only get elected in Canada’s safest Conservative stronghold

Bring as many American flags to No Kings as you can.

the president using the office to punish americans that didnt vote for him should really be one of the biggest scandals in americas history

Mamdani: "I just want to speak directly to the president. I will not be a mayor like Mayor Adams who will call you to stay out of jail. I won't be a disgraced governor like Andrew Cuomo who will call you to ask how to win this election. I can do those things on my own."

Once you've decided to violate the ADA, even in the most narrow sense, all of those levels of badness are theoretically open to you. The only thing that matters is your own self-imposed restrictions.

Boston looks forward to welcoming the world to our beautiful city, the cradle of liberty and city of champions.

It's fucking nuts that after two years of committing a genocide, the rest of the world acts like it's normal that Israel is still able to exercise total control over Gaza. It's akin to the allies allowing the SS to carry on controlling Auschwitz in 1945.

If men with guns and masks tried to pull me out of my car, I'd fight back. Courts should reject any claims by the government that this is aggression by the person being detained, resisting arrest, or that they're a flight risk.

Just so everyone is clear, the main issue in the Supreme Court voting rights case tomorrow is whether it's racist against white people to enforce the Voting Rights Act. I'm dead serious. We live in incredibly stupid times.

and it really depends on the day for me

And they say the perfect cartoon doesn’t exist.

ICYMI: “And now, a response from the leader of the frog resistance...” 🐸 🎵 #Colbert

Q: We've seen images out of Chicago of federal agents shooting faith leaders with pepper balls and arresting journalists. Where's the limit for you on what's acceptable conduct by federal agents? MIKE JOHNSON: I've not seen them cross the line yet.

Denmark is impressive. Union led. Government stays out of the way mostly.

The fact that I can’t immediately tell if a video is AI now actually makes me sick to my stomach. I cannot believe there are people who think this is a good thing

This sums up their lying perfectly www.meidasplus.com/p/this-weeke...

What's the biggest inside indicator of Trump's poor health? JD Vance's behavior. Vance knows that Trump's prognosis is poor. He believes this is going to give him the presidency before 2028. No American VP has ever behaved this way. His level of arrogance is off the charts.

the "posting a dm on his public page" oopsie doodle pales in comparison to the fact that HE'S CONDUCTING OFFICIAL BUSINESS ON SOCIAL MEDIA! i seem to remember that he was awfully concerned about a cabinet member using a private email server awhile back. i think there was even a chant about it.

Find a rally. Show up.
