halloween costume idea:

Historically speaking... No. We, meaning WE, ordinary civilians, are the ones who will stop them. By 'them' I mean fascists, which describes many of the people you're saying we should wait to protect us. We cannot, must not, will not, leave the system to fix itself. It will not.

You’ve been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who’s coming to save you? I'll be rescued, but it'll take an extra 45 minutes and they'll walk in with smoothies, or dressed as local cryptids or some such zany bullshit

these people will not stop unless we stop them. that’s how fascism works. it sounds simple, but a lot of politicians don’t understand this

Vaccines do NOT cause autism. "....independent researchers across seven countries have conducted more than 40 high quality studies involving over 5.6 million people. The conclusion is clear & unambiguous: there’s no link between vaccines and autism." www.bmj.com/content/391/...

sOmEbOdY doesn't want to get tried in the Hague!!!

We should nationalize Uber, Lyft, Doordash, etc. They should be publicly owned and very inexpensive for taxpayers to use, and the people who work for them should be paid well with benefits.

If it paid $40/hr, I would be a barista as a lifelong career

LET'S FUCKIN GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

NOW HEAR ME OUT *wipes coke from nose* HEAR ME OUT WE DO PHRENOLOGY AGAIN, BUT THIS TIME *vomits in a trashcan* BUT THIS TIME IT'S AI PHRENOLOGY THESE IDIOTS ARE STUPID ENOUGH, THEY'LL FALL FOR IT *begins to eat the vomit while holding out hand for investors to apply cash*

We're all going to write pieces about what you can learn from tonight but it's actually pretty simple: The frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

“We can respond to oligarchy and authoritarianism with the strength it fears, not the appeasement it craves.”

I too hope Dev Patel is having a great day

Gentle reminder that should a general strike happen, it’s crucial to plan and establish robust networks of community care. There will be people, especially within the disability community, who can’t participate. Who have needs that must be met. Let’s make sure we figure out how to include them!

Poirot would let the thieves go bc they'd have a good sob story and he would be RIGHT

heard the end of the Assata chant: we have nothing to lose but our chains. And it's important to say the full quote:

Just a reminder that this place is rotten with bad faith accounts trying openly to split apart groups, redirect discussions, and ruin any chance of creating solidarity 🥰

gene kelly is antifa

Given the absolutely insane levels of disinformation and growing attacks on science and scientists, all scientists must be taught - how to communicate effectively - how to engage the public - how to engage politicians and policy makers - how to engage with the media - how to counter misinformation

What if I just snapped and gave my rant on the First They Came For poem W h a t I F

It’s the inequality

maybe if I just leave the story i'm writing alone for a bit, and then go check on it in a few hours, it will have gotten longer all by itself

They have fired the staff of the CDC’s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report and 70 Epidemic Intelligence Service officers, who are disease detectives that respond to outbreaks around the world. I cannot emphasize enough how dangerous it is to dismantle our disease surveillance infrastructure.

Like...this is the biggest corruption scandal the NIH has experienced in its entire history and its not even close. Half of a BILLION dollars to a single project as a result of political spoils. That's the equivalent of several hundred R01s.

@umnlawschool.bsky.social this is extremely embarrassing

the president of the united states wants to use the american military to kill american citizens on american soil. that's the whole story!

Morning walk

it's called demo-cratic for a reason! time to demolish and start something new! the french get it! oui oui!

The @washingtonpost.com story on Tylenol & autism leaves out a MAJOR 2.5M sibling-controlled study of children in Denmark, which "found no evidence that acetaminophen use during pregnancy was associated with children’s risk of autism, ADHD or intellectual disability." jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

Strongmen can't control large amounts of people. They only condition them to believe they have fewer options. Condition them against their own freedom. Propaganda makes you complicit in your own imprisonment. A participant in your own oppression. resistrebelrevolt.substack.com/p/trumps-dic...

one cool thing about being a parent of a teenager is when they come into your room and just HAVE to start reading The Picture of Dorian Gray out loud to you because the prose is SO entertaining they can't contain themselves

you know who never lets me down? who's always there for me, no matter how grumpy? who always comes through? Leonard "Bones" McCoy, that's who

A lot of good dogs at the dog park today: Titan, the massive wolf dog, shedding everywhere! Chandler, my spunky lil friend! Daisy, growly but sweet, sat in my lap! Earl and his silly bitey self! The tall beefy boy whose name I don't know! Winston, who will never drop his ball! And so many more!

I'm back on my bullshit* *writing another book

Alien Earth is Camp Cretaceous for the Alien universe and I love it very much

If you are comparing childhood vaccination requirements with slavery a) you neither understand vaccines nor slavery b) you have no business being a “surgeon general” of any state

KNIVES OUT IN DEFENSE OF ABSOLUTE LEGEND PAUL OFFIT!!!!!!!

“This is the work of a death cult.”

“I am unable to serve in an environment that treats CDC as a tool to generate policies and materials that do not reflect scientific reality and are designed to hurt rather than to improve the public’s health.” That’s from the resignation of CDC’s Demetre Daskalakis @drdemetre.bsky.social (on X) 🧪

an appropriate response to your product killing a child after months of psychological manipulation and torture is to take the product off the market before it kills again and the fact that this isn’t universally accepted right now is incredibly frightening

Vaccines do not cause autism.

speak for yourself

AM I attempting to grow my hair into a Dick Grayson haircut?? YOU DON'T KNOW MAYBE!!!
