All across America, families are being impacted by #TrumpsHealthcareShutdown — this is especially true for the parents and caregivers of medically complex and disabled children.

Here are some of their stories 1/3 🧵

Let it never again be said that a woman with no real reporting experience who fell for a Twitter account called "Official Antifa" cannot be the head of a huge news organization

No kidding it’d be really funny if they gave Obama the Nobel Peace Prize again

Is this a very niche joke for the 413? I’m not mad about it

Trump mandates all federal agencies send email blaming Dems for potential gov’t shutdown Workers call the partisan email "a vile slap in the face."

SCOOP — The White House instructed all federal agency leadership on Tuesday to send out a mandatory message to workers blaming the impending potential government shutdown on House Democrats, The Handbasket was first to learn. Absolutely no modifications to the email were permitted.

at least i've never made the mistake of bringing an Ezra Klein to a Ta-Nehisi Coates fight

My dearest Alice:

I write to you from a city under siege. The horrors have become inescapable. We are surrounded on all sides by an enemy who has left no corner of this place untouched by its poison. I speak, of course, of our old foe: gratuitous punctuation in business names

A New Kind of Neighborhood Watch Sonoma County’s ‘Adopt a Corner’ program aims to protect undocumented day laborers from ICE.

Seeing stories like this where people organize and work to protect their neighbors reminds of what @prisonculture.bsky.social always says on here: People are in motion in everywhere.

This is such a thinly veiled way to further blame women, to limit their access to pain and fever relief, and to hurt and kill babies. Yet another example of the cruelty being the point.

There are going to be a lot of Autism Parents who celebrate this. There are even going to be disabled people who cheerlead MAHA for this.

It's still catastrophic.

I know antifa isn't a real organization because I don't get 40 texts a week from them asking for donations.

On this historic National Tylenol Causes Autism Day, the "RFK Jr makes some good points" people have been officially upgraded from assholes to extra-strength assholes.

also an excellent further way to police and blame pregnant women!

I promise you that E. Klein doesn't have a clue as to how to get anyone out of this current fascist predicament. He really doesn't and he is demonstrating it in public for any sentient being being to see. You follow his lead at your peril and everyone else's. Don't be misled.

This isn't even a slight exaggeration. He is actively working on destroying the US's entire vaccine infrastructure. The HepB vote will be tomorrow, where they will get rid of the birth dose and recommend it at 30 days, dooming a bunch of infants to chronic infection ft. cirrhosis, cancer, and death.

Lot of people who claim to care about public health out here pushing their substacks

Y'all, nazism is a public health problem

this from my piece on charlie kirk is probably the most important takeaway if you want to know why bad faith, right-wing voices in media are treated as just another set of peers

it definitely feels like a movement infinitely more aware of its own fragility than its ideological enemies are.

In this week’s newsletter I have thoughts on Ezra’s Klein value judgements about the “right way” to do politics.

If liberals like Ezra are saying that someone who called for Gay people to be stoned, trans people to be lynched, Black people to accept police violence and women to obey did politics "the right way", that is in some respects more alarming that the bloviation of the far right. Bend that knee, Ezra.

"Political violence" is a term that exists to suggest a moral distinction between "violence against politicians" and "violence by politicians" - so that one can be condemned while the other can be normalized. Obviously, no such distinction exists in reality: violence is violence.

there's no room for political violence in america like there's no room for newspapers in a hoarder's house

condemnations of political violence are well taken but it does feel as if some
prominent political commentators are of the view that violence isn’t a part of the history of American politics and that is very much not true.
