This one broke my heart. @jenishawo.bsky.social I’m so sorry for what you’ve lost at the same moment I’m so grateful for your writing.

Senator Schumer is no longer effective and should be replaced. If you can’t lead the fight to stop healthcare premiums from skyrocketing for Americans, what will you fight for?

@t-mobile.bsky.social I am a customer. Is it true t-mobile contributed to the demolition of the East Wing of the White House? If so, I’m appalled 😱.

Colleges and universities: you cannot consider race in any admissions decisions. Roving bands of masked federal agents with questionable law enforcement training: please feel free to unleash race based kidnappings and violent detentions upon the population of Los Angeles.

@booker.senate.gov @schiff.senate.gov @sanders.senate.gov @democrats.senate.gov share this every where. This is authoritarianism happening. Shut it down. We have no other choice or power.

There is, as of right now, no coverage of this protest on the WaPo website or in their @washingtonpost.com feed. So, if you (you reading this) want people to SEE this protest, you must share it.

And why across this headline, thumbnail, and post do you not once say that he lacks the constitutional authority to do any of that?

Enough is enough. The health of the country is in danger. Read our resignation letters: insidemedicine.substack.com/p/breaking-n...

I'm so late in posting this but still beyond delighted! @marielamba.bsky.social I could not be more grateful!

We’re just learning so many new things this year. National security. Due process. Clinical equipoise.

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

What if the fastest way to challenge human rights abuses in El Salvador’s mega prison isn’t politics—but your wallet? A strategic boycott of Salvadoran-made goods could hit hardest where it counts. Here’s how: 🧵

Criminals deserve due process because due process is literally how we determine whether someone is, *in fact*, a criminal

The richest man in the world spent more money than most of us will see in our lifetimes to lose a state Supreme Court race by 10 points. And the fact his $25 million was a drop in the bucket compared to what he's spent on other elections is exactly why we must overturn Citizens United.

Ohio State Professor Hasan Kwame Jeffries is offering a series of 3 free virtual seminars on the Civil Rights Movement, Tuesday evening beginning 4/1. @profjeffries.bsky.social has been at the forefront of dialogue on the OSU campus pushing back against Trump•Musk•MAGA

We will not blindly follow illegal orders because Donald Trump wrote them down on a piece of paper. Illinois follows the laws of the land – not the decrees of an aspiring king hell bent on disenfranchising millions of voters who deserve to have their voice heard.

this is why decent people say billionaires shouldn’t exist, but the other thing is, most existing billionaires could do this *and still be a billionaire after* and yet

I'm firmly in "other," leaning toward not at all. I also would say the piles are semi-organized into currently reading or up next, unless something else grabs my attention. I'm only unfaithful like that to books, in case anyone was wondering.

Idk how you feel seen, but for me it's when someone reads a book cover blurb and says: "Don't you love Nora Ephron? You'd probably like this." ... Unexpectedly lovely novel, given the story line, by Dolly Alderton finished this week. (Also buying me books!)

This is Doctor Jack. He doesn't know that he's the inspiration for a fictional cat in my novel. He'd have to wake up to learn this anyway.

We've been saving this little pup for when we thought you all might really need a gold star. And, given the current circumstances, here she is. 13/10

Good morning. The House voted yesterday to kick millions of off their health care, close rural hospitals, and shut down addiction clinics. All in order to afford a giant tax cut for Elon Musk, Donald Trump and their billionaire and corporate friends.

A person hospitalized with measles in West Texas has died, the first in an outbreak that's infected more than 120 people.

"Earlier this year, Republicans killed a bipartisan push to enable representatives to vote remotely while on maternity leave, so Representative Brittany Pettersen (D-CO) flew across the country with her one-month-old son to 'vote NO on this disastrous budget proposal.' @hcrichardson.bsky.social

What drives me crazy about the anti-DEI rhetoric is everyone wants to be judged on merit. But you can't be judged on merit if you can't even get in the door because you don't fit some prejudiced definition of who is capable and who isn't

The flying public needs answers. How many FAA personnel were just fired? What positions? And why?

Favorite #bhm memory: When my middle was about 9, we walked into our (very black) library branch. Sam: Black history month, Black history month... When is white history month? Me (immediately): *Every* month is white history month! Woman walking by us: You know that's right! #BlackHistoryMonth

Jeff Bezos never wanted this cartoon to become public. He killed it, and as a result, pulitzer prize editorial cartoonist Ann Telnaes quit. Make sure everyone sees this cartoon.

I don't know who needs to know this, but Pro Publica has an online thing that will format a letter to your US health insurance company to demand the records behind a claim denial. (which the insurance is then legally required to provide in most cases) projects.propublica.org/claimfile/
