KEEP SHARING YOUR STORIES about increased ACA premiums due to the disappearance of subsidies. The stories clearly are having an impact, they help people feel less helpless, and they create solidarity that leads to action. Mine went from $395→ $821. What happened for you?

Trump slashed spending on clinical trials. The toll is starting to become clear. Grants for 383 clinical trials were terminated and the funding disruptions affected more than 74,000 trial participants, according to new research. | The Washington Post www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

The New York Times obit for Alice Wong doesn’t mention Covid or Gaza It ignores two of her biggest causes because of political bias Alice fought tirelessly for Covid mitigations She fought for the people of Gaza She rightfully reminded us that the genocide in Gaza is a disability justice issue

mr president sir theres a story coming about how you intervened to help a sex criminal. no sir, not that sex criminal you helped….no not that one either…sir, please stop guessing sex criminals that you helped. ill give you a hint sir, hes a trafficker. no sir, not that trafficker a different one

Calling all concerned friends of public health!!! The next ACIP meeting is on Dec 4-5, 2025. They will likely be voting on newborn Hep B vaccination. Take action by submitting public comments opposing changes to the schedule. Comments close on Nov 24, 2025! www.regulations.gov/docket/CDC-2...

Bottom line: universal HepB vaccine birth dose is a public health success story It helped drive U.S. child hepatitis B rates way down. Delaying vaccination risks reversing decades of progress -and kids will pay the price.

The case for a HepB vaccine dose at birth: 1️⃣ Newborns are uniquely vulnerable If exposed to HepB at or around birth (often from mom), up to 90% of infected babies develop chronic HepB infection That means lifelong risk of cirrhosis + liver cancer 😨

@indivisible.org has asked us to boycott Spotify as long as they are running ICE recruitment ads. I think that is a good enough reason to do it, but I think this collective action does so much more than we realize. These are muscles and mindsets we are building now for bigger actions to come.

The Epstein Survivors confirm Trump killed a Biden-era investigation into Epstein's co-conspirators, fired the prosecutors, then stole the files. I'll discuss today at Noon PT/3 PM ET www.youtube.com/live/49HUqKI...

Alice Wong, San Francisco disability justice activist and writer, dies at 51 #RestInPeace #RiseInPower https://www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/article/alice-wong-disability-dies-21189834.php

Amazing piece by Jen with some quotes from yours truly inside. @runforsomething.net is changing the landscape of the country one race at a time, excited to play my own part in my own community.

I’m incredibly saddened to hear of the passing of Alice Wong, who was a bright light and a clear voice for so many of us. May her memory live on in those she loved who loved her in return, and may we all continue to elevate her work in intersectional disability justice.

MTG is no less racist than she was two months ago, but the fact that she's beefing with trump will cause thousands of white liberals to flock to her nevertheless. sometimes the enemy of your enemy is just everybody's enemy.

Tesla employees passed around photos of the insides of customers' garages, footage of what they were doing inside/near their cars. The cars were OFF at the time, a nude Tesla driver walking past their car in the privacy of their own garage became a Tesla office meme Stop embracing surveillance tech

New: Google has chosen a side in Trump's mass deportation campaign. Google is hosting a CBP facial recognition app to hunt immigrants; no indication Google will remove. At same time Google takes down apps for reporting ICE sightings “Big tech has made their choice” www.404media.co/google-has-c...

The Trump administration said Tren de Aragua “terrorists” had taken over a building in Chicago. A ProPublica investigation found little evidence to back up those claims. For the first time, the Venezuelans arrested in the raid are telling their stories.

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history. Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

It's incredible that we let billionaires bloviate about their policy views without throwing tomatoes at them. We know what they want, they want policies that work for a few dozen people and immiserate the other 300 million. Not interested!

NEW: @propublica.org investigated the Chicago apartment raid where kids were zip-tied and citizens detained for hours. They find: - NONE of the arrested were criminally charged - NO evidence the building was "filled with TdA terrorists." - ZERO legitimate reason for DHS to rappel from a Blackhawk.

in retrospect the metoo movement did not go too far and in fact should have been given spanish inquisition levels of power and authority

Anyone an expert on white-collar criminal law? These Senators are immune for their decision to pass the bill into law. But the second they try to get any money, this would arguably be § 666 honest services fraud, no? www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/...

well damn, Schumer's level of fuckup is such that, not only was my phone-call-loathing Husband again motivated to call his office, he just left a voicemail like "Hello, I'm a constituent calling to say Chuck Schumer is a snake and a liar and must be replaced by someone with a spine. Thanks" i-- 🫢🫣

Note to Democrats: Weird how when you don't explain to people how your policies would actually improve their lives, many just don't know what your policies would do. But if you do tell them, they often actually really like that.

Dr. Joanne Freeman: “He tore down the fucking White House”. 10/10 notes not required.

Vought holds one of the most powerful jobs in D.C., and he’s used his position to wage a quiet war to change the shape of the entire U.S. government. Here's what you should know about Trump’s shadow president.

Per @chicagotribune.com, the pajama-pants-guy is a former county prosecutor. And he had some things to say. www.chicagotribune.com/2025/10/25/c...

This is so convoluted. This system is... torture

Norway did it to nazis during wwii and northern cali people did it to pot eradication feds in the 70s. No restaurants or gas... hardware or chainsaw sharpening. No motels. Vehicle repairs... Nothing.

A reminder that losing SNAP will be particularly devastating to those whose disabilities require them to have special diets. The disability tax is real. Everything costs more when you’re sick, and special diets are no exception. Boost & donate to mutual aid. People need help.

Should this man be in any law enforcement position? Now ask this: do you believe this man will face any consequences for this violent assault on an unarmed, emotionally distressed woman? We can call in complaints to the DHS misconduct hotline: 1-800-323-8603 www.oig.dhs.gov/hotline

The circumstances of Mr. Escobar's arrest are even worse than the brief summary above. He repeatedly tried to tell the immigration officials that he had papers while they were arresting him. In response, a federal agent said "No you don't. You are illegal," and "Shut up, bitch! You're illegal."

WOW. The lead plaintiff is a Latino man who's been here legally for 24 years. He was grabbed off the street by plainclothes federal agents who didn't even ASK about his status. He was detained overnight and only released once a supervisor realized he had been illegally arrested.

“But I don’t know anyone with Long Covid!” Yes. You do. Many people are either in denial about being sick or feel pressured to hide their diagnosis. There’s a lot of stigma attached to Long Covid because everyone wants to go “back to normal” Denial doesn’t help, we must face the problem:

If you’re struggling with Long Covid, MCAS, POTS or other energy limiting chronic illness… I’ve put together a series of guides to try and help. These conditions are poorly understood and more often than not we end up learning from our fellow patients. Mega 🧵 of resources

I saw some legal commentator suggesting it was the most shocking anti-democratic escalation they have seen since Trump got into office again. What the fuck? He just murdered a bunch of people on a boat in Venezuela for no reason at all.

The big news tonight is two-fold — Trump's "domestic terrorism" memorandum and James Comey's reported indictment — and both are signs that Trump's authoritarianism is here. Now. Both situations, though, show how weak Trump actually is. That will be coming tonight, at Law Dork: www.lawdork.com

Trump has signed an Executive Order officially approving the sale of TikTok to a group of U.S. companies. That includes Oracle, owned by billionaire and Trump donor Larry Ellison, whose media company now oversees CBS News and may soon control CNN. What could go wrong?

We have always been at war with IKEA.

Millions of people in this country DO NOT VOTE. They can and should be enlisted in an anti-fascist fight.

Well, there it is. Sinclair is digging in for a fight, so please help push back -- find stations in your area, watch their local news to see what ads they run, then write those advertisers to tell them you're boycotting as long as they're on a Sinclair station. List here: sbgi.net/tv-stations/

We could stop the “culture war” tomorrow if every time an experienced Black woman opened her mouth 5011 folks didn’t “uhm actually..” her if we stopped making trans women pay for the mediocrity of cis women Why is “the class war” dependent on only certain silences

Psssst - there's no reason to RSVP to a protest and that's never been a thing protesters do. You can just show up, because your body being there IS the protest. The list does nothing to "spread the word", it's just a commodity for sale. Don't fall for it.
