Think about how many brains are being absolutely COOKED by sycophancy right now

If you reject vaccines or FDA-approved medications for being “full of chemicals”, “unsafe”, and “unnatural”, but you use and promote injectable peptides without any decent human studies or evidence, sold by shifty grifter accounts, you aren’t following a philosophy. You’re in a cult.

lol remember when Republicans howled in indignation after Obama released $1.7B of frozen Iranian funds and all we got in exchange was a multinational deal to massively curtail its nuclear program?

They’re feeding fighter jets to the seas like they’re shelter cats but sure, the communication service that unites our nation is the problem.

I don't think it's a "problem" that there are fewer teen pregnancies. I think fewer teen pregnancies is a good thing, actually,

But one of the most significant findings, to me, is that when employers OFFER VACCINES IN THE WORKPLACE, requirement or not, the uptake is ~2X AS HIGH in some settings. It says that finding the time to schedule a vaccine at a drug store or clinic is a major barrier for busy professionals.

alternatively, "manly men" could grow up and get over themselves

Jesse Singal is back on his transphobic bullshit by arguing that the trans rights backlash is self-inflicted and that anyone pointing to coordinated right-wing funding is peddling a "conspiracy theory." It's a masterclass in false dichotomy and victim blaming. archive.ph/ZD74X

finland never offered gender-affirming care - and that absence is now cited as evidence it doesn't work. 4+ years of adversarial assessment that leads nowhere isn't neutral. it's denial with extra steps. working as intended.

The new ACIP charter includes liaison memberships for the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons, Physicians for Informed Consent, and the Independent Medical Alliance. None of these are expert societies and all of them have a history of disseminating antivaccine propaganda.

When we take back power, I do not want unity or healing, I want revenge. I also don't want a lecture on "but that's just like Trump, he wanted revenge." He was wrong, we are right. It's different. Get a moral compass. Revenge or sit down. Call it "justice" if you must, it's that too.

Holy fucking shit it's real lol Olivia Reingold of the Free Press asks Abdul El-Sayed "does Israel have a right to exist as a Jewish state?" AES: "What do you mean by a Jewish state?" [...] "If you can't define the question, I'm not gonna answer it.

Are you in Wauwatosa, Milwaukee or West Allis and looking for something to do this weekend? Me and my local volunteers are starting our canvasing efforts to get Francesca Hong on the ballot! Never canvased before (or never for a primary?) We will train you! Details below 👇

NEW US electricity data ⚡️🇺🇸 In March, renewables produced more than a third of US electricity for the first time ever, even overtaking gas generation! Wind and solar combined reached over a quarter (26%) for the first time.

I wrote about third-country deportations and how Trump is using bribes, threats, and rewards to create an expanding international network of concentration camps to go along with the domestic one.

The "duped voter" narrative is a comforting myth. If only we had better messaging. The reality is tens of millions of voters looked at a platform of mass deportation, ethnic cleansing, state violence, and the dismantling of civil rights, clearly understood it, and said, "Yes, that is what I want."

I’ve been thinking about this guy almost daily for ten fucking years. essentially my entire 30’s. when he finally croaks I imagine I’ll let out a sigh so deep it realigns my fucking spine

From Reconstruction to "We tortured some folks," from Iran-Contra to January 6th, a prevailing ideology of American politics is that no one should face consequences, nothing should be fundamentally changed, and we should all happily move on as if ignoring the problem solves it.

legalize telling politicians what they deserve--and need--to hear

Strong agree - I completely reject the idea that only winnable fights are worth having. Whether you're putting down a marker for the next guy, or just howling at the evil and refusing to make things any easier for the bad guys there's always a reason to take on a righteous fight.

having a lot of thoughts today and they're all felonies to let out of my head

Would you believe me if I told you that this guy with Hitler hair threatening the worst crimes against humanity in history has a book coming out about his journey following Christ

Speaking of Threads, this one got me in the feels.

Millions of American voters wanted to be villains. They came to believe it’s the key to success, while goodness is weak, woke, loser stuff, done only to signal. Offered the option of unvarnished villainy, they enthusiastically took it. Seeing others suffer more made them feel big. And here we are.

I’m gonna go into a dark room and scream for an hour can I get you guys anything

This is really all they have left. "We have a pointless and criminal war pushing gas prices through the roof and the global economy to the brink but at least the government isn't treating trans people like they're human beings" will be the entirety of the midterm message.

Nothing I could say about the GOP base is as illustrative as the fact that Trump understands that posting black people in what his audience considers a “white space” will make them incandescently angry bsky.app/profile/atru...

but management told me the ai scribe would give me more time to spend with my patients, not more time to see an even less safe number of patients 🤔

John Cena is a master of defusing questions designed to get celebrities to say controversial things. Truly, a master of the craft.

Pope Leo XIV carried the cross across all fourteen stations for over an hour. The prayers named children who had been “taken away and imprisoned during protests, deported by policies devoid of compassion, shipwrecked on desperate journeys of hope, killed in war zones, and wiped out in death camps.”

This reads like a letter from an abusive church

Omg! Animorphs is getting a modern TV series! I grew up on these books, and they were also weirdly integral to my own internal coming out experience. Also KA Applegate is a beloved YA author who is NOT transphobia and has a trans daughter :) www.polygon.com/animorphs-tv...

woke pope you have 48 hours to respond

In 2023, the FDA deemed 19 peptides too unsafe to be dispensed by compounding pharmacies. Now, under RFK Jr., the agency is poised to reverse itself — despite the fact that few clinical studies support claims of the peptides’ effectiveness or safety. www.propublica.org/article/pept...

one of my strongest and clearest takeaways from spending all of Lent knee-deep in ICE death reporting is that Camp East Montana should be razed to the ground and every single person who built it, worked there or approved their decisions deserves criminal charges. it is beyond what I imagined.

American's brutalized

once again, a lot of people really don't understand what "people with comorbidities" means a *lot* of people ≥50 years old have high blood pressure or cholesterol or other medical problems -- it's a very normal thing there is not a stark dichotomy with "healthy people" on one side
