this was the biggest and fastest win against a pathogen in medical history

also it was a brand new pandemic pathogen

simply awe-inspiring, if you understand anything about the promise of clear thinking and hard work to do good and achieve great things

Absolute fucking madness. Federal officials shouldn’t be in charge of running lots of things, and major scientific initiatives are one of them.

How elderly dementia patients are unwittingly fueling political campaigns A CNN investigation reveals how deceptive political fundraising has misled hundreds of elderly Americans.

Literally nothing can justify this. No matter how virtuous the candidate you work for, it's not worth bilking elderly people with dementia. The biggest offenders are GOP grifters, but Dem campaigns do it too – and it's crucial that progressives reject it. www.cnn.com/interactive/...

The Mothership Vortex: An Investigation Into the Firm at the Heart of the Democratic Spam Machine How a single consulting firm extracted $282 million from a network of spam PACs while delivering just $11 million to actual campaigns.

It's not much, but one thing that progressives can do is pledge never to donate any money to any of these PACs that work with the shady network of grifters tied to Mothership Strategies: data4democracy.substack.com/p/the-mother...

‘Past The Point Of No Return’: Doctor Describes How Starvation In Gaza Is Driving Mass Death "In August and September, there are probably still going to be ... large numbers of deaths because children have already passed the tipping point," Mark Brauner, who volunteered in Gaza last month, to...

NEW— "A lot of children have passed the point of no return...The gut lining has started to auto-digest & will no longer [absorb] water or nutrition. Death is imminent for 1000s"

An American doctor who just returned from Gaza on where US-Israeli policy is taking us:

There is absolutely no excuse for any Democrat asked about trans athletes to ever respond with anything but “why are you wasting my time asking about FEWER THAN FIFTEEN CHILDREN AND YOUNG ADULTS IN THE ENTIRE COUNTRY WHO WANT TO PLAY GAMES WITH THEIR FRIENDS. What is wrong with you?”

The former Attorney General of Israel, Michael Benyair is now calling Israel's actions in Gaza genocide.

"To eternal shame. Jews, who suffered a genocide 80 years ago, are committing genocide in Gaza. Shame, rage, and sorrow"

The reception was mostly warm besides an occasional detractor, including a man who pulled Cuomo in for a handshake, took out his phone for a selfie, and as the former three-term governor of New York smiled for the camera, told him, "I can't wait to watch you lose again.

Does "for all" include children in Gaza?

Asking since you voted to give Netanyahu the weapons he's used to destroy 75% of Gaza's hospitals.

You know who else "doesn't know when their next meal is going to be"? A few hundred thousand children in Gaza.

Senator, why are you silent? Why won't you support using the only real leverage the US has-- a threat to suspending billions in military funding-- to force Netanyahu to let the aid in?

True to form, Andrew Cuomo once again refuses to accept that ‘no’ really does means ‘no’.

Americans Must Prepare to Fight for the Citizenship Rights of U.S. Prisoners Trump's Plan to Render U.S. Citizens to Foreign Jails Seeks to Exploit Americans' Disinterest in the Rights of Prisoners

I flagged this in April and have been howling it into the void. Trump wants Black & Latino incarcerated U.S. citizens sent to CECOT in El Salvador, Congo, South Sudan. These are the “homegrown” Trump talked about with the Salvadoran PM.

Please. Take this seriously.

ICYMI: “Rep. @brotherjones.bsky.social has filed a bill to ban law enforcement officers in Tennessee, including ICE, from wearing masks while making arrests (and ID themselves) — the “Stop American Gestapo Act” www.tennessean.com/story/news/p...

When you ask Mamdani about something you disagree with him on, he'll tell you with a smile on his face that it's fine we agree on 9 out of 12 things and then he'll pivot to what he wants to talk about.

When you ask Jeffries, he scolds entire movements of volunteers

That's the politics of the past

The purpose of asking Mamdani over and over to condemn “globalize the intifada” is to create the impression he actually said that, and he didn’t.

But the smear campaign is working. Many people now think he did say that. It’s insidious, dishonest, and essentially racist.

There is no bottom.

I’ve been a rank-and-file member of NYC-DSA since 2017. In that time I’ve known two moments of unexpected joy—when AOC and Zohran each decisively beat the establishment, tho’ so many told us it was impossible.

To find out more about how we did it, join the call Monday.

And accepted, without dissent, the long stream of racist lies from the caller….

adopting this over the past year literally fixed me

there is no jurisprudence at work here. the republican court believes that anything a republican president is presumptively constitutional, even if it directly violates the unambiguous constitutional text and causes total chaos in law and policy.

This is a campaign for the working people of our city who deserve dignity on the job and neighborhoods they can afford.

That’s exactly who HTC and 32BJ fights and delivers for every single day, and I am honored to have their support as the Democratic nominee for Mayor.
