This is my friend.

His name is Christian Smalls.

He founded the Amazon Labor union

Not as a professional activist, but as a worker who decided he’d had enough.

Recently, he was beaten and detained by the IDF

And no one in the MSM is talking about it.

β€˜We are dying slowly, save us’: starvation takes hold in Gaza after a week of appalling milestones Parents watch children waste away as deliberate aid restrictions from Israel mean hunger is becoming a killer, as experts confirm famine is currently playing out The people of Gaza did not need this week’s official confirmation from UN-backed hunger experts that the β€œworst-case scenario of famine” was unfolding there. For months they have watched as their children waste away. β€œAll my children have lost nearly half of their body weight,” said Jamil Mughari, a 38-year-old from Maghazi in central Gaza. β€œMy daughter, who is five years old, now weighs only 11kg. My son Mohammad has become just skin and bones. All my children are like this. Continue reading...

People often say that my book would have been helpful when their kids were little, and that’s fantastic! But if you can, please consider buying the book in support, gifting the book to someone who can use it now, and/or requesting it at your library.

As a survivor of sexual assault, Pressley says effort to subpoena Epstein files is personal Pressley, a sexual assault survivor, said Epstein’s victims and the public β€œdeserve transparency, accountability, and healing.”

For too long, our institutions have been more concerned with protecting predators than centering survivors.

That has to change.

For me and for all survivors, releasing the Epstein files is deeply personal.

Director Vought: 
We write to ask you to fully implement the Fiscal Year (FY) 2025 Full-Year Continuing Appropriations and Extensions Act, including funds appropriated for the National Institutes of Health (NIH). 
The continuing resolution supp011s NIH initiatives across a range of critical research areasΒ­cancer, cardiovascular disease, rare pediatric disorders, and more. These vital efforts are not only necessary to Make America Healthy Again, but also have a direct impact on American families, biomedical innovation, our economy, and competing with Communist China. 
We are concerned by the slow disbursement rate of FY25 NIH funds, as it risks undermining critical research and the thousands of American jobs it supports. Suspension of these appropriated funds - whether formally withheld or functionally delayed - could threaten Americans' ability to access better treatments and limit our nation's leadership in biomedical science. It also risks inadve11ently severing ongoing NIH-funded research prior to actionable results. 
We share your commitment to ensuring NIH funds are used responsibly and not diverted to ideological or unaccountable programs. We are confident Secretary Kennedy and Director Bhattacharya are well positioned to uphold gold standard research by ensuring that NIH awards are grounded in transparency, scientific merit, and a clear alignment with national interests. Our shared goal is to restore public trust in the NIH precisely because its work is focused on results, accountability, and real-world impact. Withholding or suspending these funds would jeopardize that trust and hinder progress on critical health challenges facing our nation. Ultimately, this is about finding cures and seeing them through to fruition. 
We respectfully request that you ensure the timely release of all FY25 NIH appropriations in accordance with congressional intent. Doing so will ensure continued momentum in curing disease, supp011ing American innovation, and delivering result…

From @aaas.org check-in with Sudip Parikh: a letter by 14 Republican senators urge the Office of Management and Budget to release NIH funding. If this includes your state (AL, ME, WV, SC, KY, KS, AR, PA, NC, IN, AK), Sudip recommends contacting & thanking them for being American science leaders.

Israel's siege is starving the people of Gaza.

We have joined more than 100 aid and rights groups to demand action - before there is no one left to save.

Make individual police officers responsible for the damages they cause.

Enough of this billing the taxpayers bullshit.

The trauma, violence, disrespect, and wanton property damage happening here all should be personally compensated for by the individuals who committed it, like the bullies they are

Trump’s cuts to US global HIV funding have already led to drops in testing and treatment - meaning more infections and more deaths.
Unless cuts are reversed 10.8 million extra HIV infections and 2.9 million extra deaths are expected by 2030.
