Perioidic reminder that the reason you didn't see autistic people with intellectual disabilities on the street five decades ago was not because they didn't exist. It's because they were sent away to institutions and their parents were told to put away pictures of them.

April 20 may mark the end of U.S. democracy. Trump’s team is set to recommend invoking the Insurrection Act - military at home, mass arrests, media lockdowns, elections suspended. The plan is real. The timeline is short. The only hope is exposing it before it starts.

Your Michigan Medicine colleagues would appreciate if you relay the message that a basic medicine we use 1000x per day in the hospital, heparin, is also dependent on China, and people will die without it

Oh fuck off. Zelensky defends democracy for us all and Trump surrenders to the enemy and tries to extort him, but it's Zelensky's "style" that is "hurting" Ukraine. The #BrokenTimes sides with fascism, "fair or not."

I don’t hand out legal advice because I’m not a lawyer, and I only speak from personal experience, but I’d recommend following your federal agency and/or union guidelines on how to respond to the “five bullets” email.

Welcome to the RFK Jr Era of Public Health.

NEW: Meta decided to stop working with U.S. fact-checkers at the same time as it’s revamping a program to pay bonuses to creators with high engagement numbers, potentially pouring accelerant on the kind of false posts the company once policed.

Ontario voters, wake up, get off your butts and vote in this important Provincial election. We have four days left to take a stand. Voter apathy will kill all that us beautiful for our province. VOTE VOTEZ VOTE VOTEZ

This is really smart by @sanders.senate.gov Go to republican districts and push voters to pressure their republican reps. www.commondreams.org/news/bernie-...

If they don’t show badges, they’re not cops. Doxx these pricks.

So the secret police (secret because nothing identifies them as real police) carried her away. And no one helped her. Are Idahoans so asleep that they think they’re not next? And where is this poor woman now? Did she get a phone call? A lawyer? She sure as hell didn’t get her rights read to her.

The reaction of people like these led to the deaths of 6 million people 80 years ago.

Dear Dems. This is a reminder that Donald Trump rescinded the ethics rules preventing gifts to executive branch employees. Now would be a good time to propose legislation formalizing the prevention into a law Time to do things that make him react to you. apnews.com/article/trum...

3rd airplane crash, 10 dead, missing Alaskan plane found. 3rd crash in 10 days besides at least 3 other mishaps this week at airports. Do you think firing the FAA chief and sending a FORK IN THE ROAD memo hasn't affected these workers?

One way to reduce drug spend is to have the FDA do an analysis of how long medicine retains it's potency. It can do it one drug at a time. No one should throw away medicine they shouldn't have to. Whether pharmacy or patient. www.propublica.org/article/the-...

The price of eggs in the US is spiking, mostly due to #H5N1 bird flu. Solving the problem requires urgent, important communications from the CDC & FDA* and rapid development of research by the NIH** * Currently paused by Executive Order ** Grant reviews now all canceled www.kcur.org/news/2025-01...

KNOW YOUR RIGHTS www.aclu.org/know-your-ri...

SHARE WIDELY. KNOW YOUR RIGHTS. With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights. You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one. (1/3)

Love this!

#Voices4Victory 🚨NORTH CAROLINA🚨 Jefferson Griffin is still trying to throw out your ballot! We’re waiting to see if the 5 Repubs on the state Supreme Court will go along with his last effort to name him winner even though he lost 2 recounts that showed Justice Allison Riggs beat him by 734 votes.

These anti-vax twits now have to come up with $$ to pay the court fees. Serves them right! "It strains all credulity to accept that the Premier, a # of ministers & 54 others...to declare a 'false pandemic' all...purpose of harming the plaintiffs," www.guelphtoday.com/local-news/h...

And THIS is one more reason the US needs socialized medicine...it should be for the ppl, not for the $$.

Campbell’s witty response to this homophobe makes me want to enjoy some of their delicious chicken noodle soup right now! 🍜 🏳️‍🌈

When you absolutely positively have to pick a cabinet for your presidency.

So, once again, DoFo is caught in a lie (that bike lanes cause issues for first responders). Not surprising. Also, I noted in the article that there were 2 petitions mentioned. BOTH from Etobicoke. Hmmm...I wonder who lives in Etobicoke? toronto.ctvnews.ca/biking-advoc...

This!

It's not refugees stealing our wealth. It's not assylum seekers. It's not people from overseas. It is corrupt governments and their cronies. It's mega companies and corporations. It's big business denying us fair pay. Wake up. #EnoughlsEnough #RefugeesWelcome

Indeed. When they rounded up the Japanese Americans, myself and my family included, for internment during WWII out of fear over Japanese spies and saboteurs, two thirds of us were U.S. citizens. Don’t think it won’t happen again when they come for the “undocumented.”

Well, this gets it exactly right, doesn’t it?
