Every Senate Democrat voted for this crap. Every single one of them.

“We wanted to get our COVID & Flu shots before the conclusion of the Sep 19 CDC ACIP meeting, where the new panel has a high chance of further restricting vaccine access. We encourage everyone to do the same!” —Karina #MaskTogetherAmerica coordinator 😷 Read interview: instagram.com/p/DOtFyjckQJs/

We're 7 months in and Trump and the oligarchs have completely seized control of the media. If you criticize them, your show will be pulled from the air. This is what dictators do. Fascism isn't coming, it's here.

I don’t know when it’s going to pop for a lot of normies that they are living under an authoritarian regime, but the cancellation of popular TV shows that make fun of the administration might do it www.vulture.com/article/abc-...

so many dead canaries and we just keep on mining

I miss teaching so much. Please protect yourself from COVID, and protect others. You don’t want this. I was 25, very healthy other than ADHD & depression. One COVID infection took away my ability to work, physically read, cognitively follow a novel, tolerate the noise/light of a classroom — so much.

Good reporting, which also includes this detail: "Even after it became evident that ICE had made a mistake and had caused an international incident, the agency wanted to put the South Koreans in chains when transporting them to the airport to depart the country, according to Kuck and media reports"

This camp is being violently evicted right now in the wake of a devastating shooting. People are mourning community members and simultaneously having their homes bulldozed. If you have t shirts, drinks, aspirin, new underwear, or cigarettes please bring to 1100 E Lake between 3-7 for distro!

FOX news host suggests we euthanize the homeless, someone goes into two encampments and starts shooting. 13 people shot and Jacob Frey and the media are just talking about it as the new best reason to clear the encampments

Just in case any of y'all thought they'd actually filibuster the appropriations bills coming with all the anti-trans provisions and shut the government down. Call your senators, demand no anti-trans and anti-LGBTQ+ provisions in appropriations bills.

The Gilded Age star Morgan Spector — who joins Hannah Einbinder & Javier Bardem in boycotting Israeli film institutions implicated in the genocide — explains why he & others are speaking out despite industry pressures: "Israel wants to portray itself as David, Israel is Goliath."

I'm going to try to change your perspective on COVID in under 2 minutes.

i’m not going to be lectured about political violence by people whose politics is violence

Hi yeah this, please wear a mask. I’m so tired of all of this.

Yep. And they're already planning to use the RCMP as police for the oil/gas companies like they have in BC.

Qatar. Syria. Tunisia. Lebanon. Yemen. Gaza. The Israeli military is bombing country after country – six in the span of three days – with total impunity.

All who eulogize this person positively & all media outlets martyring him, including the CEO of this app, you all KNOW you could roll out a scroll's worth of quotes like this attributed to him. You KNOW he stoked violence. In honoring him you stoke more. The rest of us now see how You think of us.

This feels parallel to Roy Cohn dying of AIDS. Like systemically, this should not be able to happen to anybody, but this man built a career working to make millions of people meet the exact fate he met. He truly reaped what he sowed.

First, YIVO fellow Daniel Carkner shares the history of NYC's Jewish immigrant klezmer musicians and their role in radical labor politics. Klezmorim "were present at every twist and turn of immigrant Jewish radicalism and labor organizing." Read it alongside the songs we've embedded in the piece!

Also, they deleted the posts. Couldn’t even have the backbone to stand by the statement that genocide shouldn’t happen to anyone.

Absolutely fascinating and horrifying to discover from the responses to the LA Holocaust Museum post about “never again means for anyone“ how many people genuinely think Never Again only applies to Jewish people. No more genocide for us, but genocide for others is okay???

Still, you gotta admit the one thing that always works is scolding the electorate to suck it up instead of demanding better candidates, it never ever fails and has worked literally every time and *holds finger to ear* hold on I’m receiving new information

"lesser evil" is the entire democratic party platform

Please I'm begging everyone Ghost and other Substack alternatives exists please

New Mexico has issued a public health order that removes federal restrictions to COVID-19 vaccine access so that pharmacies in New Mexico can vaccinate people of all ages and risk profiles. Every state need to do this!

worth a read re: what the govt tried to pull on a three-day weekend at 2am

When people say this, they don’t just mean mental health They also strongly desire to fit in & not be left out They saw everyone following the gov’t & mainstream media & thought “everyone’s moving on, I want to do the same” “Everyone’s abandoning immunocompromised people, I want to do the same”

You’ve cared more about your own comfort & convenience & vibes than about disabled / immunocompromised lives You’ve cared more about “fitting in”, than how many people you’ve harmed by going maskless in public spaces

They're openly calling to lock up every trans person by force. We need every ally to speak out forcefully against this because trans folks cannot do this on our own.

“I’m sick of these purity tests. NO CANDIDATE is perfect. Newsom may not care about homeless people or trans people but he’s the ONLY ONE hiring social media posters to ask ChatGPT to talk like Trump”

1. If you've scrolled social media lately, you've likely seem Democrats cheering for Gov. Gavin Newsom for trolling Trump relentlessly. You've also likely seen trans people terrified of a Newsom 2028 run. I explain why trans people are not feeling Newsom. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Hello it’s me Sam Altman I have a zillion dollar idea it’s a chat bot that tells teenagers to kill themselves and you can generate csam with it and it poisons the air and water and it’s wrong most of the time and we’re going to put it in your refrigerator and stuff 👍 I need more money for this btw

When I was around 8, I asked my father "what's a lesbian?" He said, "you know how your mom and I love each other? It's like that, but two women." It's really not that hard to explain things to kids.

Survival funds are still survival funds. They aren’t futile or hopeless. Any alleviation we can deliver, we must, and pair it with unprecedentedly bold action. One link, six families & a displacement camp, food, shelter, medicine. 1277/2500 by Saturday. chuffed.org/project/hope...

This feels like a spot of good news www.sciencedaily.com/releases/202...

Really lovely article on a few simple ways to break down some “baggage” barriers for kids in the first few days of school, and set a tone of mutual respect. #edusky www.teacher2teacher.education/2025/08/06/w...

The BBC has covered our study on medical power and #LongCovid. It’s a shame they didn’t name me and got my university name wrong, but nonetheless, good to see some MSM attention www.bbc.com/news/article...

This is such a good article with INCREDIBLE voice by @hurwitz.bsky.social

Jews have a right to exist AND Palestinians have a right to exist. People have a right to exist. Not states, people. The state of Israel, by definition, says that only Jewish people have full rights to existence in its borders. That’s what “a Jewish state” means. And that's a human rights violation

@democrats.org ask why they keep losing elections, all the while actively blocking the most popular candidates the party has seen in years — Mamandi, Fateh (looking at you @dfl.org), Bush, Bowman. It was never “vote blue no matter who,” it’s “vote who party leadership wants, not who you want.”

“A centrist coalition is developing in New York, egged on by the refusal of the city’s top Democrats to coalesce around Mamdani.” D leadership — @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social @schumer.senate.gov @kirstengillibrand.bsky.social — are damaging the Democratic party.
