Bhattacharya’s legacy The US had a “world-class Ebola lab in Frederick, Maryland, with the NIH,” designed to develop vaccines & treatments. The lab would normally be swinging into action. “But that lab was shuttered last year, with staff laid off abruptly”😢 www.theguardian.com/world/2026/m...

A🧵!!

Universal Basic Income Free Childcare Medicare for all Free/ low-cost college Free K-12 school breakfast/lunch Affordable safe housing Fully funded food programs Healthcare, housing, and food as human rights This is what Dems should be yelling for at the top of their lungs.

Folk will never be free because they only care for themselves. Mentally and physically, you will always be a slave because you're willing to sacrifice your fellow man for a different form of oppression.

Everything sucks.

Voting in local elections is more important to your day to day life than these big elections. I vote in every local election that I can.

It’s about creating a permanent wealth inequity that got started in racism and is now being poorly and non contextually tracked because it’s seen as corruption rather than social engineering

This was glorious to watch. I clapped with glee so hard at the end that I scared the cats. Colbert and Letterman throwing CBS property ofc the roof of the Ed Sullivan Theater.

Watching a series of former Confederate states rush to eliminate any vestige of black representation in the House pretty much answers the question whether the Voting Rights Act was still necessary.

This video on the rise of Russ Vought is based on scores of interviews, thousands of pages of emails and dozens of hours of videos and recordings of private briefings given by Vought, most of which have not been previously reported.

Y'all. youtube.com/shorts/lDWO5...

If you have to put “reverse” in front of it, you can be sure it’s not actually racism.

Historian of abolition here, history tells us how we got here, to put it succinctly “John Brown was hanged for treason and Robert E. Lee was not.”

Day 7 of negotiating with norovirus. I think it's getting worn down. Two bowls of ginger garlic chicken soup and a diet Pepsi heavily wounded it. Hopefully, it decides to just sneak out quietly. MF'er thinking it can just take over. Try me asshole. I've got 3 months annual leave accrued.

A must-read thread 🧵

I'm fighting norovirus so I'm probably in a negative frame of mind, but #Democrats , who told you a constant barrage of "the world is ending, send us money" emails is a winning strategy? It seems like the perfect formula for complete disengagement.

Everyone: sit down and read this today. "I vote because my great-grandparents couldn’t. I vote because my great-grandfather sent his children north just to access an integrated education. I vote because my grandfather moved west chasing opportunity and still got locked out of housing he could ...

At the beginning of this , many Black Americans knew we would be his target. I know I did . I’ve known since the 80’s. The erasure of history and our voices by this administration and others was predictable unfortunately.What people didn’t realize is injustice for some Americans is injustice for all

Day 4 of norovirus. Much like the previous days. Do not recommend.

Pay attention to Republican Senators attempting to move into Governor seats. Tommy Tuberville, Alabama. Marsha Blackburn, Tennessee. Mace in S.C. The political restructuring in the south. Senators shifting to positions of control of state military forces, as governors. They are staging a civil war.

Total shocker. Alito’s argument for why black people don’t need voting rights protections is based on fraudulent statistics.

We've always been here. It's just now more white people are feeling it. Did we really think that trading economic power for human lives would only include "some" lives? Did the founders really think the beast wouldn't consume them eventually? youtube.com/shorts/u9ijh...

did the Virginia Supreme Court stop Republicans from gerrymandering the piss out of VA state and congressional districts in 2012 without asking the voters at all? they did not

Breaking: Tennessee Republicans pass new 9-0 gerrymander after SCOTUS destruction of Voting Rights Act eliminating state’s only majority-Black district & last Democratic seat. Splits Memphis, which is 63% Black, into 3 districts to disenfranchise Black voters. Quite literally a return to Jim Crow

White liberal America, look in the mirror. Look hard. You don't like racism, But you haven't been anti-racist You haven't been angry enough I'm not leaving out myself Every white person I know is complicit. White America has to change this. You can't fix it & still benefit from the system. Decide.

Good breakdown of many of the implications of the Supreme Court’s destruction of the Voting Rights Act. It didn’t l have to be this way. But this is what White America wanted.

An “accessory.” Justice Marshall delivered it raw and real.

Nothing can be built on corpses and last. If you want a society to prosper, you can't allow avarice to gain power. They will bury the community under their monuments to themselves.

Billie Little had worked for Thomson Reuters for about two decades. She was fired after questioning whether federal immigration agents unlawfully used their products.

“In the years after Brown (. . .)most states did not openly violate the ruling. Instead, they pursued what became known as “massive resistance” by closing public schools, redirecting funds to private institutions, and advancing legal theories designed to limit federal court authority.”

“The United States is being murdered, and it’s an inside job. Every department, every branch, every bureau and function of the federal government is being fatally corrupted or altogether dismantled or disabled.”

Underrated post.

But billionaires need those extra billions, right? youtube.com/shorts/QQKuV...

“because of his strong support for medical science”

“He was everywhere during the pandemic except hospitals,” said Jonathan Howard author of the book We Want Them Infected. “He didn’t treat a single Covid patient himself and became famous despite having no real-world responsibility that way.” I agree with myself.

I wish you’d just be honest about the motivations here “We decided to platform the MAGA/MAHA administration because we knew that its anti-science stances that have dismantled the science & public health systems would enrage scientists, engineers, & physicians & such rage bait is good for publicity”

Some interesting ideas for our time youtube.com/shorts/DYrXM...
