Fundraiser time for the Minnesota Indian Women's Resource Center warming shelter. I'll donate $1 for everyone who reposts this. And if you quote-post this with the amount you donated, I'll match it. www.miwrc.org/donate

New study suggests that metastatic cancer cells may evade the immune system by stealing mitochondria from immune cells and setting up a ‘shield’ that protects them from being killed by immune cells. Wiley little bastards. #Science 🧪

We cannot be more clear. Leave us the fuck alone.

Bernie Sanders: "Trump said America First. Last I heard 60% of the people in this country are living paycheck-to-paycheck, people can't afford housing or groceries, our healthcare system is collapsing. Maybe instead of running Venezuela, he might try to do a better job running the USA."

TIL: Before Hans Asperger or Leo Kanner, a Jewish-Ukrainian psychiatrist named Grunya Sukhareva defined autism in 1925. Both men did not cite her work. She also had documented how it affected women and girls, where the men did not. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grunya_...

Measles is PREVENTABLE.  This outbreak is the result of anti-vax conspiracists like RFK Jr. undercutting proven science and putting entire communities at risk.

The overwhelming majority of jobs at the two biggest companies in America pay less than $20/hr. Meanwhile, the heads of those companies are some of the richest people on the planet. See the problem?

Thank you @kerrykennedy.bsky.social for inviting us to join the celebration of the ROBERT & ETHEL KENNEDY HUMAN RIGHTS CENTER. We fully support your fight for Justice, Equality, Peace, Dignity, Diversity & Compassion for ALL. (and we had a great time doing so!) 🙏 ♥️

The White House claims the vote to rename the Kennedy Center was “unanimous.” That is false. I was muted on the call and denied the opportunity to speak or register my opposition. That is not consensus. That is censorship.

We’re officially launching the Maryland Community Business Compass — a first-of-its-kind platform to help uplift the aspirations of entrepreneurs from every zip code.

As someone that teaches cooking, please cook your rocks to an internal temperature of 25 degrees fahrenheit, and serve with a vinaigrette sauce. Finish up with 3 ciggies.

This is Deejay. He wanted to offer you a big nose and tiny tongue during this trying time. 14/10 (IG: deejayelgolden)

🚨About 55 minutes ago this was shared on IG. We all know how much he loves attention. Hope his detail woke him up for this. ✊🏼 1/2

Jane Addams's 1930 memoir covers her continued Hull-House work, social reform, & peace activism that earned her the 1931 Nobel Prize. "The Second Twenty Years at Hull-House" enters public domain in 20 days. By John Mark Ockerbloom everybodyslibraries.com/2025/12/12/a... #publicDomainDayCountdown

No parent wants this text. Thinking of the Brown University community.

Baldwin: Without that extension, people are seeing shocking increases in their premiums. I spoke with a small business owner in Milwaukee named Nancy. Nancy is a cancer survivor. She cannot afford to be without health care because she has special medical needs. But her premiums are tripling…

After Marcelo Gomes da Silva was arrested by ICE on his way to volleyball practice in Milford, he made a promise to the men he shared a cell with: He’d be a voice for immigrants unfairly detained. He's one of Boston Globe Magazine’s Bostonians of the Year. trib.al/p9Edy6F

Noem was confronted over Zoom by a veteran deported by the Department of Homeland Security.

#ResistanceRoots Grace Hopper was born on this day in 1906 in New York City. Hopper was a Rear Admiral in the U.S. Navy and a pioneering computer programmer who was called “Amazing Grace” and the “grandmother of the computer age” for her innovative work. /1

Right now during open enrollment, all of the warning signs are flashing red. We have to act if we want to ensure millions of Americans have access to health care.

This is Cody. He's always wanted a dog of his own, and his wish finally came true. Can already tell his new little brother Cooper is going to be his best friend forever. 13/10 for both (TT: codythegoldenboy)

A few weeks ago, my dad was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. I won’t lie—it's been incredibly challenging for me and my family. Now, I’m embarking on a journey to answer the questions so many of us face when it comes to providing care for our loved ones. I hope you’ll join me.

RFK Jr. has thoughts about breastfeeding. I have thoughts about paid parental leave.

Ann Lowe was the Black genius behind Jackie Kennedy’s iconic wedding gown. Before the fashion world was ready to credit a Black woman’s talent, Lowe was already designing for America’s most powerful families. Brilliant. Bold. Innovative. Undervalued. And nearly erased from history.

Phillis Wheatley, first published African-American female poet, died #OTD in 1784. Born in W. Africa, sold into slavery at 7 & one of the best-known poets in 18th-century America. Her achievements were a catalyst for the fledgling antislavery movement. poetryfoundation.org/poets/philli...#OTD#poetry

ATTN GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES: The VA sent out an announcement with a link for employees to self-report their disabilities. I wouldn’t do this if I were you. They’ll likely use it to discriminate against you.

We are not defined by what happens to us, but how we respond to it.

TODAY IS THE DAY! GET OUT AND VOTE. Polls are open 7 AM - 7 PM WE GOT THIS!!!!!!

@kchenoweth.bsky.social I was on the the edge of my seat at your show tonight! Thank you for making my dreams come true seeing you on stage. “champagne wishes and caviar dreams”

During this season of giving, let’s do what we can to give back to the communities that have given us so much. From our family to yours, have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Today, after months of requests, I toured the Broadview ICE Processing Facility. I want to share what I saw. The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone — period.

As a survivor of the Tulsa Race Massacre, Viola Ford Fletcher bravely shared her story so that we’d never forget this painful part of our history. Michelle and I are grateful for her lifelong work to advance civil rights, and send our love to her family.

A lot of disinformation is circulating about what Senators/Representatives Slotkin, Kelly, Crow, Deluzio, Goodlander, and Houlahan actually said. Here is the transcript. It contains no accusation that the President issued unlawful orders, no call to disobey lawful orders, and no advocacy of mutiny.

Oh this broke my heart today — “I feel so cheated and so sad that I don’t get to keep living the wonderful life I had with this kind, funny, handsome genius I managed to find.” “A Battle with My Blood” by Tatiana Schlossberg

This is the best thread ever!!

Autocorrect has become our worst enema.

No lawmaker in Congress should be able to buy, own, and sell individual stocks. Period. Let's make Congressional stock trading illegal.

Terrific

New Mexico's free universal child care program is a model for the nation. www.krqe.com/news/new-mex...

Starbucks’ CEO makes 6,666x what the average @sbworkersunited.org barista does. It would take less than one day of sales to finalize a fair contract. Baristas at Starbucks corporate stores nationwide are on strike to fight this corporate greed and get the fair contract they deserve.

Ladies and gents, the incomparable @randyrainbow.bsky.social with 🎶 Big Phony Schmuck 🎶 Enjoy! 1/2 youtu.be/TH-5HYAxftM?...

PSA: There is no Republican health care plan.

This is a cover up. If Donald Trump has nothing to hide, why won’t he release the Epstein Files?

@repdangoldman.bsky.social is the best. We need more members of Congress like him. 👏👏👏

By this time next week, we will be The Rachel Maddow Show on MS NOW! Everything else about us will be the same, and that includes watching. However! If you DVR the show, you may want to double check the scheduler to make sure it didn't get confused.

Brother Warnock lays it plain.

Remember the time Obama personally caught a fainting woman during his speech — rather than just blankly staring like a sociopath? Character isn't something you tell people about. It's something you live.

For almost four decades, Nancy Pelosi has served the American people and worked to make our country better. No one was more skilled at bringing people together and getting legislation passed – and I will always be grateful for her support of the Affordable Care Act.
