Check out Gene Sharp's 198 Methods of Nonviolent Action.

"The collapse of American democracy is like the pandemic: Whatever you say at the beginning will sound alarmist – but likely prove inadequate by the end."

I don’t know if Newsom, Shapiro and Rahm are idiots, but this is an idiotic strategy.

Guest column | A disease was attacking my entire body. My doctor told me to lose weight. I lost three years of my life and two inches of height before I was correctly diagnosed.

Such a familiar story. Another woman, another story of multiple doctors, symptoms dismissed. Weight gain, pain, memory issues, crippling exhaustion. Blamed on stress or weight gain, as if these could only be causes, not symptoms.

A third of CEOs plan to axe jobs over the next year—and a majority now say they’ll pass on new tariff costs to their customers “For the first time since 2020, CEOs planning to shrink their workforce exceeded the share looking to expand,” the Conference Board noted.

Wow a shocking surprise

Pete Hegseth shares a clip saying women shouldn’t have the right to vote, the 19th Amendment should be “repealed,” and women should “submit” to their husbands: “All of Christ for All of Life”

“Actual cases of [factitious disorder imposed on another] are incredibly rare, yet medics and social workers seem to latch on to this theory when they lack the scientific knowledge to explain an illness or the humility and compassion to admit that sometimes they simply don’t have all the answers."

You know who else is from Queens?

Eric Holder. And me.

It’s not Queens. It’s that they are awful.

Trump Is Building a Maximalist Government In a series of actions this week, the president sought to expand the government’s reach.

The New York Times uses the word “maximalist” because it’s afraid to use the word “dictatorship.”

X marks the spot where ME/CFS biology can be discovered. The science behind the findings blog post.

'Each genetic signal is like an ‘X’ on a treasure map indicating roughly where the researchers should dig for treasure.'

Check out Simon McGrath’s blog to learn about the science behind the initial results: shorturl.at/hadjF

Scientists find link between genes and ME/chronic fatigue syndrome Large study suggests people’s genetics could ‘tip the balance’ on whether they would develop the illness Scientists have found the first robust evidence that people’s genes affect their chances of developing myalgic encephalomyelitis or chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS), a mysterious and debilitating illness that has been neglected and dismissed for decades by many in the medical community. Early findings from the world’s largest study into the genetics of the condition pinpointed eight regions of the human genome that were substantially different in people with an ME/CFS diagnosis compared to those without the illness.

Scientists find link between genes and ME/chronic fatigue syndrome

Possible genetic clues to ME/chronic fatigue syndrome identified in massive study DNA analysis of more than 15,500 people with the debilitating condition identifies eight tentative “genetic signals”

American Nazis: The Aryan Freedom Network is riding high in Trump era With Donald Trump’s return to power, a neo-Nazi group buoyed by his rhetoric is expanding its reach and changing the face of white extremism in America. Its leaders: a Texas couple, both born to Ku Klux Klan leaders.

Trump “awakened a lot of people to the issues we’ve been raising for years,” Stout told Reuters. “He’s the best thing that’s happened to us.”

A photo of a lit candle with blurry images of multiple other candles in the background that says Severe ME Day of Understanding and Remembrance August 8.

Just realized my last repost didn't have alt text on the photo promoting Severe ME Day of Understanding and Remembrance, so here it is with alt text included:
