Given that Bezos just did a full takeover of @washingtonpost.com and now it can only report that America and money are great--today is a great day to cancel if you have it, you check to make sure you aren't paying for a forgotten subscription.

Measles death of unvaccinated child in Texas outbreak is 1st fatality in US in a decade An unvaccinated school-aged child in Texas has died of measles, the first associated with an outbreak that has infected more than 100 people.

This news truly breaks my heart.

We are calling on HHS to take immediate action. Secretary Kennedy needs to bring back weekly measles tracking from the CDC, rehire the health experts, and roll out a serious vaccine campaign. Our kids' safety is on the line!

Republicans are too chickenshit to hold town halls. Shocker.

Here’s an idea: Democrats, hold town halls in Republican districts.

The corporate revolution will collapse if we refuse to buy what they're selling – their ideas, their version of history, their wars, their weapons, their notion of inevitability. Remember this: we may be many and they be few but they need us more than we need them. Another world is not only possible, she is on her way. On a quiet day, I can hear her breathing. ― Arundhati Roy, War Talk

The image depicts the first cabinet meeting of Donald Trump’s administration. It shows a long, polished wooden table with nameplates, documents, and water glasses neatly arranged. Trump is seated at the head of the table, surrounded by his cabinet members, all dressed in formal attire, with men in suits and ties and women in professional outfits, some in red. The room has a grand setting with beige walls, long brown curtains, and a large chandelier illuminating the space. The American flag stands prominently in the background. A framed painting and a portrait of a historical figure are visible on the walls. On the left side of the image, a large press presence is noticeable, with journalists, photographers, and camera operators closely capturing the event. Several microphones on booms are extended toward the table, emphasizing the importance and media attention surrounding the meeting. The atmosphere appears serious and formal, with attendees engaged in conversation.

The mafia in a strategic meeting.

It’s a sad loss for the brightest science students in America, for American science, and for future cures for diseases like cancer and Alzheimer’s. 🧪 1/

NIDA has announced it, but all the NIH summer internship programs are likely cancelled.

Sorry college students interested in STEM jobs, sorry high school students looking at science 🧪 careers. Trump and Musk are cancelling your futures.

An image featuring Admiral Lisa Franchetti in her formal Navy uniform saluting, alongside text highlighting her distinguished 40-year naval career, including commanding a destroyer, two carrier strike groups, and the U.S. Sixth Fleet. The text then contrasts her extensive experience with her reported firing by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, identified as a Fox News weekend host. The source of the information is credited to the New York Times, with "COURIER" branding in the top right corner. The highlighted portion of the text emphasizes the contrast between her career and the circumstances of her dismissal.

Let’s face it. Getting rid of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion is to make way for less qualified white men to take positions they don’t deserve.

We are all struggling. Spread your kindness everywhere.🩵💙
