Blindspot: Season 3: The Plague in the Shadows | WNYC Studios | Podcasts Stories from the early days of AIDS — and the people who refused to stay out of sight

"The people who continue to needlessly struggle with and die from [this] and other illnesses, that's not only a medical challenge. It's a social one. We still choose, as a society, to allow HIV to exist."

With these kinds of fascist thugs around, I wouldn't feel safe getting out of my car either.

I encourage all my white friends and acquaintances to give this a listen. We can only heal and move on from our collective past when we engage with it openly and with compassion. The only way out is through. We're all in this together.

Remember, we're all in this together.

These women dedicated almost 50 years to science. Their efforts may soon be trashed | CNN Nurses in the US provided biological samples for decades to help study women’s health. Here’s what they think of President Trump’s actions that may end its funding.

More cruelty and stupidity from the Trump regime. What can we do to fight back? What about some crowdfunding that goes directly to these researchers?

Be warned: Trump will likely use his war with Iran as a pretext to further suppress dissent at home.

We must resist his efforts to stifle freedom of speech, make warrantless searches and arrests of Americans, and put more military onto our streets.

This is what you get when you do not listen to the words of an intelligent, experienced, rational woman. Thought at least husbands would have been smart enough to do so…yet, here we are…

DHS CONTRACTORS FOR KIDNAPPING: These job adverts confirm that DHS-ICE is hiring people off the streets with as little as 2 years military service.

Plus CBP is hiring former War on Terror analysts to hunt Americans and migrants alike.

Straight up Secret Police shit.

These were on LinkedIn.

Bees are collapsing in the U.S. A key to their secrets might vanish. The top federal lab on native bees is set to close under President Trump’s budget.

Contact your senators and give them this additional reason to vote against this abominable spending bill.

Hey Republicans Want to save trillions of dollars without hurting people by cutting Medicaid? How about implementing affordable healthcare for every American instead?

We made this ad in late September of last year to try to salvage Kamala's econ message. At the time we knew the $50T was outdated since it was from a 2020 report.

Rand Corp updated the study.
It's *$79 trillion* now.
Welp.

It was never about birthright citizenship, this is about limiting the power of the courts

Trump’s EPA is planning to roll back rules that limit the amount of “forever chemicals” allowed in drinking water.

This comes after chemical companies donated generously to his inauguration fund.

See how this works?

The Boss is simply speaking simple truths

A.I. Hallucinations Are Getting Worse, Even as New Systems Become More Powerful A new wave of “reasoning” systems from companies like OpenAI is producing incorrect information more often. Even the companies don’t know why.

Further proof that AI is garbage. We don't need it. Most of us don't even want it. Let's get rid of it.

Imagine being the richest man in the world, having the money to end homelessness, end world hunger
or provide free
education.

And choosing instead to destroy a great democracy and spread hate and division.

I want politics to be about a better everyday life.

Here's what that can look like:

More than 50 House Democrats demand answers after whistleblower report on DOGE Members of the Congressional Labor Caucus wrote the letter after NPR reported that a whistleblower says DOGE may have removed sensitive labor data and compromised the security of computer systems.

Contact all your elected officials. Demand accountability.

There is an entire political movement that believes the statement “if you work full-time in America, you should be able to pay your bills and have a savings account with your paycheck” is radical.

We must come to an agreement that it’s not radical to demand that.

Criminal convictions, ABREGO GARCIA: 0

Keep standing up to the bullies. Don’t comply in advance and never bend the knee. It’s going to take all of us to make it through this.

Don't look away. Never forget. Their blood is on the hands of everyone who put Trump back in the White House and every Congressperson who sits by and does nothing.

History always has a lesson.
