It’s really important you call your Democratic elected officials and tell them you unequivocally oppose these actions. This is an area where many Democrats are very bad. They need to hear immediate, overwhelming opposition from their constituents.

Really hope every Congress member's voicemails fill up today!

We need to call!

No War With Iran

We strongly condemn the U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran. We mourn the lives already lost as a result of these unlawful and reckless attacks – including at least 40 school children killed in Minab.

We hold in the Light all those who now fear what comes next and call for an immediate end to strikes.

there are a lot of people working in the government right now who want to intentionally trigger an apocalypse to create the conditions for the return of jesus christ and I know how crazy that sounds but its absolutely true

Jasmine Crockett is standing on business and addressing the U.S.-Israeli attack on Iran. She is willing to step away from her campaign in Texas to head back to D.C.

“I think speaker Johnson needs to call us in right now and we need to deal with this right now.”

i didn't care for schumer's statement, but if you're going to be angry at him, make sure you're much angrier at thune, who bears this obligation even more strongly than schumer and will absolutely ignore his own duty

DO NOT LET ANY MEMBER OF CONGRESS WALK AROUND THINKING THEIR CONSTITUENTS DON’T CARE

Today’s military strikes on Iran — carried out by the United States and Israel — mark a catastrophic escalation in an illegal war of aggression. Bombing cities. Killing civilians. Opening a new theater of war.

U.S and Israel begin "major combat operations" in Iran Some U.S. officials have been worried about entering into such a conflict without a clear sense of how it will end.

NEW: More than 200 are dead with 700 injured from strikes in Iran, the AP reported, citing state media reports from Red Crescent data.

The U.S. Senate must be clear: no war with Iran.

Pentagon removes senior official from Joint Staff post, sources say U.S. Vice Admiral Fred Kacher only took the post in December.

I can’t recall another politician ever expressing this direct of a sentiment before. (depressing! it’s so simple!) it’s difficult to explain how it feels to wake up and find your country is bombing the place your family grew up. again

How Kansas Republicans weaponized the law to target 300 trans driver's license holders SB 244 was put into effect virtually overnight, causing chaos, panic and fear in the trans community.

New — I spoke to eight trans people in Kansas about the new state law that invalidated their driver’s licenses overnight, what’s it’s like to live there right now, plus details of two DMV emails exclusively obtained by The Handbasket that shed light on the law’s chaotic and cruel rollout:

White House stalls release of approved US science budgets The US Congress rejected sweeping cuts to science agencies. But the NIH, the NSF and NASA have had their spending slowed.

Congress rejected massive cuts to US science budgets for 2026, but much of the money still isn’t flowing to researchers.

The culprit? The White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) is quietly slow-walking the release of funds. 🧵👇

That’s not what “long covid” means. Long covid is an umbrella term that means long term effects following covid that persist beyond 3 months. That could mean high cholesterol, new onset autoimmune disease, cognitive damage, immune damage, all of which are observed in these studies

One of the mothers I interviewed for this story was frustrated that she couldn't find many resources to help her navigate these conversations with her 3-year-old son.

"We actually know a lot about how to make America healthier. But very little of that knowledge is in line with what the current administration has done so far."

@nytimes.com quotes "The Formula for Better Health" author @drtomfrieden.bsky.social in a piece on the grim new era of science:

text says "There’s no way to know which COVID-19 infection will cause long-term illness. Each new COVID-19 infection increases your risk of organ damage, Long COVID, and disability, even if you have no other health conditions that you know of, and even if your previous COVID-19 infections were mild or had no symptoms. Protect your lifelong health by protecting yourself from COVID-19, no matter your age or health history. Wear masks. get vaccinated. keep indoor air clean.” Graphics on the side illustrate people getting sick repeatedly until eventually they end up with long-term illness.

Every time you get COVID-19, your risk increases for Long COVID, organ damage, disability, & more, & there’s no way to know which infection will be the one to cause it! Protect your lifelong health by protecting yourself from COVID-19. Learn more about Long COVID: www.cdc.gov/long-covid/a...

As of tonight, licenses of trans people across Kansas are being invalidated en masse, enabling the overnight criminalization of an entire group of people for going about our lives. It’s often said you never know when you’re living through history, so let me assure you: that’s what’s happening now.

"The abolition of gender studies is a way of further guaranteeing impunity to the elite men whose contempt for and exploitation of women & girls apparently knew no bounds, whether they actually slept with the women on offer or simply shared Epstein’s fantasies in order to gain influence or funding."

anti-abortion groups don't see abortion as a single-issue - they are simultaneously funding & driving anti-trans, anti-LGBTQI, anti-migrant [...] efforts in the UK and transnationally. it isn't just 'what happens in the US', it's also what they've funded in Uganda, Hungary, Mexico, Poland [...] 1/
