It may be over for the Sumud Flotilla, but Turkish civilians have decided its not over for sailing ships at the Israeli blockade. Fucking legends!

You shake your head sorrowfully at the deaths of Palestinian kids,

the destruction & theft of #Gaza,

the abduction of aid-carrying activists,

the use of your tax dollars in atrocities around the world,

But you don’t join the boycotts & strikes… 🤔

QNN spoke with Irish comedian Tadhg Hickey aboard one of the Sumud vessels heading to Gaza just hours before the Israeli navy attacked the Flotilla. Here some of what he mentioned.

Twitter Screenshot: Center for Reproductive Rights @ReproRights 🚨 BREAKING: Today, the Trump administration rescinded guidance meant to protect pregnant people in emergency rooms who need urgent abortion care. This guidance was ESSENTIAL for ensuring the safety of pregnant patients in crisis, especially those in states with abortion bans. 5:40 PM · Jun 3, 2025

By revoking EMTALA guidance, Donald Trump thinks he knows how to treat patients better than doctors. He doesn’t. People will die, and it will all be for Republicans’ fight for a national abortion ban.

The Trump administration just rescinded federal guidance that had protected patients' right to an emergency abortion throughout the country. This move formally halts EMTALA enforcement against hospitals that refuse to terminate when a patient's health requires it. www.cms.gov/newsroom/pre...

Today in history, 1862: Robert Smalls, an enslaved person and ship’s pilot, takes over the CSS Planter, an armed Confederate transport. Smalls steered it past Confederate defenses and surrendered it to the Union Navy, while also freeing himself, his crew and their families. /1

100 days into this presidency, Americans are paying the price - higher prices, crashing retirement accounts, and broken promises.

But the American people are turning, thanks to your voices. Keep it up.

It's up to us to demand something better.

this would be one of the grossest and unjust policies. only serves to punish people who don't deserve it.

A gentle reminder: we have failed to enact the single most ambitious, best-case scenario for emissions.

All of the rest remain up for grabs: and we will absolutely 'fail to stop' these as well, if we widely adopt the fatalist framing

She isn’t a criminal

She isn’t dangerous

And she’s a US citizen

A 10-year-old child

Recovering from brain cancer surgery, no less

Still suffering from speech and mobility problems

But the Trump administration deported her anyway

There's literaly an mRNA vaccine to treat pancreatic cancer in the works. It's shown promising results in a Phase 1 trial. Most people with pancreatic cancer are dead within 5 years. It's what killed Patrick Swayze.

Good morning. The dance, whatever that means to you, is worth fighting for.

“During the darkest days of the AIDS crisis, we buried our friends in the morning, protested in the afternoon and danced all night. The dance kept us in the fight because it was the dance we were fighting for.

Wise man in a sweater in his home library 📚 contemplating: I don't know what word in the English language --I can't find one-- applies to people who are willing to sacrifice the literal existence of organized human life so they can put a few more dollars into highly stuffed pockets. The word 'evil' doesn't even begin to approach it. ~Noam Chomsky

Wise man…

Especially because of what’s happening in healthcare - but on all matters really - what a brilliant and prescient piece of advice.

What can you do?

Don’t give up hope. Dictators feed off your hopelessness.

Don’t quit. Dictators want you to give up.

Punch back. Dictators are bullies, and bullies are cowards.

Stay tethered to the truth. Dictators need you to believe their lies.

Resist. Stand with others.

Cancer research budgets down 85%, clinical trials on vital HIV and malaria treatments ended overnight, but we did manage to update Google maps.

Monday thought:

NIH cuts billions of dollars in biomedical funding, effective immediately — The Washington Post Researchers say it would hurt facilities that work on medical issues such as cancer research and heart disease. Elon Musk contends the old policy was ‘a ripoff.’

“This abrupt change..will have devastating consequences on medical science. Many people will lose jobs, clinical trials will halt, and this will slow down progress toward cures for cancer and effective prevention of illness”

beyond being an absolutely miserable illness, measles can cause immune amnesia. It wipes out your immune systems memory of how to fight every infection, every vaccine you've ever had.

A memo listing all of the clubs eliminated by USMA.

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.
