This is scarier than the for profit crowd. These people want chaos and death to bring for the end times so the righteous will go to heaven.

Seems like the media should at least express some curiosity about this.

If Trump is so intent on destroying Iran, he should go be its president for a month.

They'll never know what hit them.

Post image Luisa Capetillo (1879–1922) was a Puerto Rican labor organizer, writer, and anarchist feminist. A pioneering advocate for workers’ and women’s rights in the early 20th century Caribbean, she is remembered as one of Latin America’s first feminist theorists and an emblem of social defiance for her free-thinking ideas and nonconformist lifestyle.
Her work as a reader in cigar factories in Arecibo exposed her to the daily struggles of the working class and served as a springboard for her organizing efforts within Puerto Rico’s growing labor movement.
Capetillo joined the Free Federation of Workers in the early 1900s, organizing strikes among tobacco and sugarcane workers while championing better wages and education for women laborers. Her 1911 book Mi opiniΓ³n sobre los derechos, responsabilidades y deberes de la mujer is widely considered the first feminist treatise in Puerto Rico. It denounced gender inequality, promoted women’s education and economic independence, and defended the concept of free love as a moral and natural right.
Capetillo’s activism took her beyond Puerto Rico to New York, Florida, and Cuba. In Havana in 1915, she was famously arrested for wearing trousers in publicβ€”an act that challenged prevailing gender norms and underscored her broader critique of patriarchal society. She was acquitted after defending herself in court. Her international organizing linked Caribbean and U.S. labor movements, particularly among Hispanic cigar workers.

National Cancer Institute, fed research agency, is studying ivermectin as a potential cancer treatment. Ivermectin has become a symbol of resistance against the medical establishment among MAHA adherents, who claim β€” without evidence β€” ivermectin as a miracle cure for a host of diseases

FDA won’t review Moderna application for first mRNA-based flu vaccine The decision, which shocked company officials, comes as the FDA says it will take a stricter approach to federal vaccine approvals.

So the feds ARE NOT considering an mRNA vaccine for the flu, which could save countless lives, but ARE backing research into whether horse dewormer can cure cancer, because the right views vaccines as elite and ivermectin as populist.

Cool.

More parents resist routine newborn care amid vaccine skepticism. Social media fuels confusion and mistrust among parents. Doctors continue to emphasize the importance of newborn treatments and vaccinations to save lives.

Best gas masks β€œHow did these people go out and get gas masks?” AG Bondi asked.

A fantastic read from @sarahjeong.bsky.social on what it's like to be gassed and the violence in the streets right now. On a meta level, I also love the framing; the title and card make it look like just another product buying guide, but it is very much not that.

Trump is a megalomaniacal, criminal madman, he is the singular force that is destroying the entire world order and the whole American system, and rather than acknowledging him as a crisis, our institutions are still, STILL determined to relentlessly normalize him

The end goal of Grok sexual harassment is to make women afraid to be visible. It’s a punishment for daring to exist in a way the perpetrators can’t control. There’s no one solution to this, because the problem isn’t just technological. It’s cultural. It’s misogyny. This is just one expression of it.

Flu is widespread right now, and it is a dangerous, unpredictable virus.

Vaccination is the gold standard for protection.

However if you have flu-like symptoms, get tested immediately. Tamiflu is effective as a treatment but should be started within the first 48 hours of symptom onset.

I am annoyed by the persistence of 'resist libs are tired of resisting Trump' line.

No Kings put record-breaking numbers of people into the streets, specials/off-years are at D+10 or more.

I don't think the resist libs are tired. I think some writers are tired of writing about resist libs.
