‘They don’t have symptoms’: CAR-T therapies send autoimmune diseases into remission Engineered T cells that have been used to treat ulcerative colitis, rheumatoid arthritis and lupus show promising results.

Developed initially to target and kill tumors, they are now being engineered to target cells that are contributing to autoimmune diseases, like antibody-producing B cells.

Reader, I choked up

The last 3 years have been the hottest in around 125,000 years.

CO2 levels are their highest in MILLIONS of years.

But most people have no idea this is happening, let alone what it means for our kids’ futures.

Our politics & media have failed our children. We should be furious.

Dems' Messaging Nerds Urged Party Not to Talk About Trump's Military Takeover Democrats’ favorite research firm told Democrats to avoid discussing Trump’s “rising authoritarianism” and focus on tariffs instead.

Democratic leaders need to resign. Lord, this is depressing.

Friday night Tequila Tweet: Fuck anyone who wants to erase slavery from American history. Fuck anyone who wants our museums to empathize the “good” aspects of slavery. Fuck anyone who can’t handle the truth about slavery.

Slavery was bad. It was evil. And fuck anyone who disagrees.

It’s all about sending a message. The raid is the message. It’s all about retribution. He is the retribution president. As with troops on our streets, it’s all about normalizing fascism. This is fascism. Fascism is here. Too many Americans are too “busy” to care. But it’s here.

Slavery was bad.

Stephen Colbert is going SCORCHED EARTH right now. To RFK Jr: “Fuck you, you roid-addled nepo carnie! Fuck you, you roadkill-munching Luddite human slim jim!”

Trump says undocumented immigrants do farm work "naturally" because "they don't get a bad back."

Mississippi's Declaration of Secession similarly said slavery must be protected because "by an impervious law of nature, none but the black race can bear exposure to the tropical sun."

This is a horrific and heartbreaking read.

No way should this kind of thing happen in this country. No fucking way. Brief thread.👇

So which battles are they winning

Kristie Noem giving Brownie a run for his money.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

My God. This story is horrific. What are we doing?

Just plain evil. Not at all what America should be. This alone is why every Republican should lose in 2026.👇

Timeline Cleanse:

This is the cutest.

Good. Damn good. Because what Trump is doing on immigration is stupid, cruel, divisive, un-American, and is going to hurt the economy big time.

This is absolutely insane, and criminal. Everyone, especially a Senator representing the state, has a right to speak out.

The fact that the agents felt protected in acting this way says everything.

We’re quickly traversing a dangerous path

BREAKING

US Senator Alex Padilla was just forcibly removed and detained at DHS Secretary Kristi Noem's press conference in Los Angeles.

She should have been carried out by medical professionals who would have strapped her to a board. Head injuries are no joke. This is absolutely enraging. This is fascism.

This should not controversial, but somehow it is.

I believe EVERYONE deserves healthcare, no matter who you are, what you do, or where you were born.

wow -- @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com chokes up while talking about how the Trump administration is killing kids who relied on USAID to get life-saving medicine

Tesla shouldn't have this "self-driving" feature on roads with a human behind the wheel, let alone robotaxis! This is nuts.

RFK Jr. ends covid shot recommendation for healthy children, pregnant women Currently the vaccine is recommended for all people over 6 months of age.

HEINOUS—Trump HHS’s RFK Jr just ended US recommendation that healthy pregnant women & kids receive COVID vaccines. 📌Extraordinary move that bypasses scientific system of vaccine guidelines from CDC!! Kids & women are not immune to Long COVID!

“I don’t even recognize you, Secretary Rubio.” This is so well done. Respectfully calling out a colleague who so pathetically sold his soul. Take a moment, listen, and share.👇

The RED line is deporting an American Citizen to a foreign country.

When that happens, I will see you on the streets for a non-violent, crippling general strike.

I'll be the one with the bullhorn.

Shut it, the fuck, down.

AMERICAN CITIZENS

This is wrong. This is scary. This isn’t America.👇
