LOVED THE FIRST EP!!

Turkish student at Tufts University detained, video shows masked people handcuffing her A Turkish national and doctoral student at Tufts University has been detained by U.S. Department of Homeland Security agents without explanation, her lawyer said Wednesday.

Don't assume your friends and family are as diligent in their media savvy. This video needs to be watched by as many people as possible.

For Some Measles Patients, Vitamin A Remedy Supported by RFK Jr. Leaves Them More Ill After the health secretary promoted vitamin A as a cure, parents in West Texas began giving their children high doses, sometimes to prevent infection.

Remedy supported by Kennedy leaves measles patients more ill.

Physicians at Covenant Children’s Hospital in Lubbock, Texas, say they’ve now treated a handful of children who were given so much vitamin A that they had signs of liver damage.

RFK Jr needs to resign bc he is not a DOCTOR!

Senate Dems,
Seniority and tradition is what gave us Chuck Schumer as leader. Throw that shit out the window. Pick a fighter that will hold this administration accountable. If you can't do that, then you can get the fuck out too.

Kinda feels like this right now

The Democrats ignored the issues with the Post Office as long as the Republicans fucked things up. They didn't give a shit because it wasn't a sexy enough problem for them.

When people talk about "American Exceptionalism" they now usually mean that Americans are exceptionally bad a running a country.

As far as I know there is nothing unethical about mass market art. Personally I like buying prints from independent artists who will use that money to like, pay rent. Home Goods doesn't need my money.

If Dems were unwilling to fight over cabinet nominees and unwilling to fight over the budget/shutdown, it’s safe to assume they’re not going to fight over anything.

Want to be more political but are jealous of all the amazing sign art all the cool kids have made?

Your judgement has been wrong CONSTANTLY. You are a failure, a loser, and a spineless pathetic coward who should have left his chair ages ago. STOP FUCKING OVER YOUR CONTITUENTS.

These are the senators who collaborated with the GOP.

Schumer
Fetterman
Cortez Masto
Durbin
King
Shaheen
Gillibrand
Schatz
Hassan
Peters

Don’t let them forget it. No peace for them.

It is one thing to watch a dictator grab power.

It is another to hand it to him.

I’m headed to the Senate floor now.

To cast an emphatic “no.”

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable.

Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes.

Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

THANK YOU

Another coward.

If only our politicians had half the spines of South Koreans

As a change of pace, here is some geek joy.

Someone made a very impassioned post about people condemning Tesla over Elon making an argument that many smart, decent people work there and shouldn’t suffer because of him.

Fuck that.

I have friends who are Feds being smeared and terrorized. I give zero fucks about Elon’s employees.

No double speak. No political messaging or careful avoidance of certain words. She flat out calls this guy out for being a dipshit and in a few sentences explains exactly why.

Don’t buy stuff on February 28. Money’s the only thing these dicks understand.

Absolutely fucking spot on! Make this go viral!! FAFO!

Those of us who work in gender medicine are not going anywhere What’s more, we’re expanding.

“We’re not going anywhere. What’s more: we’re expanding.”

Nearly a dozen of Minnesota’s foremost experts on gender-affirming care collaborated on this beautiful op-ed in today’s Strib. No paywall.

It is hard to imagine someone more disqualified to run our intelligence agencies than Tulsi Gabbard.

You cannot fire so many people and shutter so many agencies and services and not expect things to start to go very bad very quickly.

Our job is to highlight not only the chaos and cruelty of the firings, but also the devastating consequences.

The public must turn on this madness and soon.

"And in bowing to him, senators may be defying voters’ preferences."

Really? Excellent fucking reporting. MAY BE DEFYING. The Republicans haven't paid attention to their constituent's "preferences" for decades.
