Ain’t this the party of β€œreal men?”

Actual lede:

The secretary of state said he doesn't want the president to see him sleeping and think, "Oh, this guy is weak"

This is how anti-vax activism works.

To be clear, the fact that they need the US market is a problem. But the problem isn't vaccines, it's for-profit healthcare.

The tragic part is they'll likely make more money from all the people who catch infectious diseases that turn into chronic diseases.

The origins of Conspirituality actually lie in a project Julian and I cofounded (and Matthew took part in) in 2012 called YogaBrains, which was a blog designed to politically activate the yoga community.

14 years later and still seeing sht like this is just depressing.

Got locked outta TikTok a while back and didn’t care. Will give this a try, mostly for videos. I enjoy BlueSky the most, but not really built for video content.

This is the way.

"A PAC that’s recruited a record number of math and science professionals to run for office is looking for the Democratic Party’s attention."

Turns out trying to turn legacy media into state media is harder than expected.

Thanks for the info! I’m not on there so just going off what people I follow elsewhere are saying.

For people commenting that their anti-ICE TikTok videos are getting zero views, remember what happened last week.

The silence of MAHA and wellness influencers, who claim to care so much about the nation’s health, is damning. Yet this is what many of them voted for.

RIP Renee Good. RIP Alex Pretti. You shouldn’t have been murdered by our government. But here we are.

So many medical professionals are using their platforms to speak out against ICE’s atrocities, because they know violence is a public health issue, and also because they’re good, caring people.

Yes, I read through what was happening before posting about it, which is sadly way more than a lot of people on Threads have done.

I know reading comprehension is apparently too much to ask for these days, but going after Patagonia, one of the best companies out there, is just dumb.

My wife doesn't really do social media (and I don't blame her), but she's a badass. I've also learned more about accessibility and design from her than I ever thought possible.

We’re such a joke of a country. And the even sadder point is that the people behind this will never understand that.
