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...

This is perversely impressive as an act of language corruption - if we pretend "woke" means "censorious", and pretend it's the left who are censorious, then we can also pretend the post-Kirk attacks on free speech are the right acting like the left, and hence are "woke right".

Youre right chuck, he ran on many issues. And many of those issues he ran on were built on hate's foundation. He is simply lying at this point to save face. To be completely dismissive that hate was a major part of the campaign is disturbing. Either you didn't pay attention or cant identify hate

Reminds me how a lot of those same influencers sold the lie that we could get out of the COVID pandemic by sacrificing vulnerable people. We’re still in a pandemic, and we still have fascism. The jury’s out about our collective humanity.

🚨CALLING ALL ANDOR FANS: BOYCOTT DISNEY-ABC🚨 We have the power and responsibility as Andor fans to demand these corporations stop bending to the MAGA regime. Not one more dollar if they keep caving to white supremacist demands to silence our freedom of speech. secure.everyaction.com/iGih_Z5w20-x...

Get this. In Stat today. CDC will end all work accommodations for disabled staff. Report to office or be fired. "The CDC chaos continues: agency officials temporarily ended reasonable accommodations for employees to work from home and paused future approvals for new applicants."

Here’s all the ways you can take action against Disney, ABC, Sinclair, and Nexstar for silencing Jimmy Kimmel and attacking free speech. Share WIDELY. #BOYCOTTDISNEYABC

there's a lot of momentum to #BoycottDisneyABC right now, please join in.

something good or at least not terrible that happened in the courts around the #trump administration.

The wonderful Gabriel San Emeterio and @longcovidjustice.org are starting a drop-in support group for people living with #HIV who also face other challenges, such as chronic fatigue,, chronic pain, or other chronic illnesses. Please reach out to them if you or someone you know is interested!

#TheMazals have begun with wise words from our wise Scholar in Residence Leo:“JFREJ has never stopped fighting for a city that cares for all of us…We’re going to walk this path together”

The @jfrejnyc.bsky.social #TheMazals livestream is up on the insta. There’s comedy, music, including rock star Ezra Furman, powerful speakers like NYC’s next mayor @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social with @bradlander.bsky.social & @mashagessen.bsky.social ! www.instagram.com/jfrejnyc/liv...

You cannot effectively delete what is posted publicly on Bluesky. Data scientists (not affiliated with Bluesky) and commercial companies capture it all live, every comma and em dash. Anything said in the heat of the moment could follow you to a job interview ten years from now. Capisce?

Be the lawyer on the tarmac in whatever part of your life and work you can be right now.

I wrote about NYC's growing Community Land Trust movement for @thenation.com. Thanks to all who spoke w/me --- the incredible residents of 248 Arlington + @eastnewyorkclt.bsky.social, @neweconomyproject.bsky.social & the Cooper Square, Bronx & ReAl Edgemere CLTs. www.thenation.com/article/poli...

it's perfectly fine to not know what to say about the Big News Thing, and just log off for the day if social media is not your job

How can anyone consider this to be normal?

Another day - another high school shooting in America. When is enough is going to be enough with these guns?

I'll be there - appreciate required testing & supplemental air filtration & lots of fresh air open doors & windows+outdoor space, & a REAL commitment to virtual viewing that's not an afterthought. THANK YOU to @jfrejnyc.bsky.social as one of the ONLY left orgs with #COVID prevention policies.

Honored to be a part of this! Speaking on Wed 9/17 10am Eastern on #LongCOVID & #HIV research & the vital need for #plhiv, #patientLed & community-led leadership/advocacy! @patientled.bsky.social @longcovidfam.bsky.social @longcovidjustice.org @plhivcaucus.bsky.social #hivresearch #disabilityjustice

Got a can of seltzer at the bodega and threw it into the trash can on the Q train platform and it rang and rang like a bell so maybe things will be ok somehow.

Really looking forward to seeing Eli Clare read from his new book next week in NYC & encourage everyone to check out the events & the book - a powerful set of poems/reflections rooted in nature and disability justice that spread tendrils of memory & resistance in my soul when I read it! #booksky

the maga constitution doesn’t allow any institution, public or private, to explicitly work to ameliorate racial inequality but allows the government to racially profile

Good morning friends. Sometimes we start Monday with an inspirational quote about perseverance or hydration. But today, let’s take strength from the sound of Trump being very loudly booed at the US Open. Truly, a collective cardiovascular exercise for democracy. 💚

this. give it away. this is no time to stockpile or get spendy for fun.

People need to understand just how openly genocidal the rhetoric on the far right is getting towards transgender people. They're openly talking about eradicating us and forcefully mass institutionalizing all trans people. These are people with direct ties to the Trump administration.

Lynx coach Cheryl Reeve on the Minnesota shooting: "The sad thing is we can't sit here and tell them that help is on the way. Because we're not going to do a damn thing about it."

I’m here now, on the first day of my third semester at @thegraduatecenter.bsky.social , and it’s a powerful and inspiring discussion in a very challenging and difficult time.

Thank you to @getfree-mvmt.bsky.social and @freedcproject.bsky.social for leading the way. We know DC is uniquely vulnerable to #Trump and #MAGA violence but #NYC is also in their sights.

“Residents are documenting everything they see and experience and posting it online immediately. Every move the Trump Regime makes: arrests, harassment, violence, patrolling completely empty neighborhoods, it’s all caught on camera and amplified online.”

Appreciate these thoughts from one of the top researchers in the country on this broad topic!

Powerful and important work by Jeremy Jeffs, capturing life with severe ME. Upcoming exhibition — ‘Lives We Cannot Live,’ Oxo Tower Gallery, London, 24–28 Sept. Give him a follow or subscribe for updates on his upcoming book. mailchi.mp/16f8611232cc...

Kicking off TOMORROW--- Maybe you’ve been cheering Zohran on from afar or wondering how you can get involved, but you don’t live in NYC. Kentuckians for Zohran, Arizonans, Californians, Nebraskans, Hawaiians, Alabamans, and Texans come on innn, there’s a place for everyone.

"A large swath of #UCLA’s Jewish faculty have come together to condemn the $1-billion fine sought by the Trump administration over alleged campus antisemitism." “Cutting off hundreds of millions of research funds will do nothing to make UCLA safer for Jews nor diminish antisemitism in the world."

"Since 2018, Border Patrol has had a higher percentage of agents arrested every year than the migrants they apprehend have as a population." like...you intuitively know a thing, and then you see the damn numbers 🤯 The actual criminals police us.

🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈On July 19th, our Trans Immigrant Project (TrIP) held its 14th Annual #TransLatinxMarch at Corona Plaza. Hundreds of community members took the streets of Queens amidst mounting threats from the federal government to their safety and wellbeing. Trans people will always exist!

extremely noticeable that I have seen exactly zero black DC residents asked to write about how they feel about Trump's occupation and/or DC's crime.

How SARS-CoV-2's appearance in bodies affects social (non)response to #COVID & #LongCOVID: "Lack of triggering the human disgust mechanism, inability to be generalised, and lack of widespread understanding of sequelae of infection all contribute to the societal denial of the dangers of #Covid19."

NEW 🚨 The violence is the point. Elected Dems must call for widespread resignations (RFK, Bhattacharya, Prasad) in response to the CDC shooting. Public health must demand this of them, and the public must demand that of us. With @publichealthguy1.bsky.social in STAT: www.statnews.com/2025/08/15/c...

Smart actor protecting her ability to perform. She’s been wonderful on the series.

The town where the #CDC shooter is from REQUIRES households to own guns. CNN reports he broke into his family’s gun safe and fired 500 rounds of bullets.

local coverage of DC

Seeing an awful lot of people sick with Covid right now. Many saying “Covid is back”. It never left. That’s why some of us are still advocating for mitigations. Every infection is a dice roll with disability. Wear a mask. Clean the air. Stay home when sick.

And the underreporting on the #CDC shooting was much worse than I could have imagined previously.

If Bluesky collapsed tomorrow, where would you go? How would you pack up your digital life and take it with you? Check out this very useful and thought-provoking “digital go bag” from friend of New_ Public Sijal Nasralla.

We really have no words butt think NIOSH summed it up well enough. Every day in this administration, it gets harder for all of us. If you know a fed worker , reach out to them and offer your support. Not all of them are ok. A man lost his life today and our friends were threatened. #altgov

Done! thanks for the donations and for the coverage of local news in Washington DC
