Did you know that the Cuban revolutionary José Martí lived in the U.S. for the majority of his adult life, & that while working for an NYC publisher he translated Helen Hunt Jackson's Ramona into its first Spanish edition? That & more in my new Considering History column! @hcrichardson.bsky.social 🗃️

What if staying was the brave choice? Sigrid Schultz didn’t leave Nazi Germany because she didn’t see the danger—she stayed to report it. When we ask better questions about why women stayed, the shape of history changes.🗃️ Get your copy here:

All evil, filth, and rot immediately boil over with hatred as soon as Ukraine appears IOC is no exception; they just want to spread their shit everywhere Worthless scum real worms, I wonder how they feel in life ...forgot that it's difficult to call it life in true sense of word #UkrainianView

Ukrainian skeleton athlete Vladyslav Geraskevych was disqualified before his first race at the 2026 Olympic Games Because he refused to stop wearing his helmet with the dead Ukrainian athletes IOC said that this helmet "violates some political calls." #UkrainianView

#UkrainianView Have you ever thought that "sport is beyond politics" is a concept imaged to _officially_ silence whatever protest against war crimes on a specific platform. And to officially secure the right to compete for people related to military aggression.🔽

Long Covid > more blood Tau > increase chance of Alzheimer's. Nice study followed people before/after infection, plus 2 years later, and a control group that managed to avoid getting infected (how?). Not surprising to those of us who've been following the story - terrifying all the same #Covid 🧪⚕️

This is the same guy (not a vaccine expert) who used random information from VAERS as the basis to change vaccine regulatory policy two months ago. There were no concerns regarding safety or efficacy. mRNA technology is slowly moving out of our reach. 🧪 www.statnews.com/2026/02/11/m...

My brother took horse dewormer for his colon cancer instead of chemotherapy because it was recommended by his church. He passed away last February. 😢

Everything is going according to plan. bsky.app/profile/wins...

I had to read this four times before it sunk in that “won’t review” meant “summarily deny” and not “summarily approve.”

🤬They want us to die...

So the feds ARE NOT considering an mRNA vaccine for the flu, which could save countless lives, but ARE backing research into whether horse dewormer can cure cancer, because the right views vaccines as elite and ivermectin as populist. Cool. kffhealthnews.org/news/article...

Hey @scitechaction.bsky.social, why don't you tell these folks to do their jobs on oversight instead of thanking them for the bare minimum? We are less than 2 weeks in and NASA science is already the victim of Vought's impoundment games. subscriber.politicopro.com/article/2026...

LAST CHANCE TO SAVE BOUNDARY WATERS: America’s most visited wilderness is under assault. A Chilean mining company proposes a sulfide-ore copper mine on the lands surrounding Boundary Waters. The mine would leach sulfuric acid, permanently poisoning the area’s pristine landscapes and waters.

Respondents “rate their current & future lives on a scale from 0-10. Those who give themselves an 8+ on the Q about the future are categorized as optimists. ‘While current life is eroding, it's that optimism for the future that has eroded almost 2x as much over the course of [the] last 10 yrs’”🧪

Do not be tempted by the lie of "it's all of them". We'd still have most of the women democrats, a handful of male democrats, and the progressives. And also Ted Cruz, who famously is really into adult incest.

Trump is in it for himself, 100%. His sole aims are to expunge his intolerable 2020 loss and become immeasurably wealthy. He cares nothing for America. Even Stephen Miller's extreme cruelty is just a side benefit. #ProudBlue

As a fellow Gen X I approve of this message. I’m not and never have been maga.

I worked for RATM in the late 90s and 2000s, and this was pretty common. They just heard “Fuck you I won’t do what you tell me” and assumed it meant their parents and teachers
