Unsurprisingly fantastic, nuanced piece by Dave Pozen and Jed Britton-Purdy. Read it! www.bostonreview.net/articles/wha...

I AM (not) CHARLIE KIRK. I am Charlie Kirk.

'I am Charlie Kirk.'

The phrase has quickly become a catch-all display of performative Conservative virtue signaling.

Those who are waiting for Novavax, and those in states with more restrictions, may not be able to get COVID vaccines yet are in a tricky situation.

Please hang in there! While thereโ€™s a good chance the antivax CDC panel may try to further restrict access, itโ€™s unlikely they can pull them entirely.

For the first time ever, plant based foods are now cheaper than meat.

Act accordingly. It may be where you get your protein.

Where the Democratic Party is going Based on the thousands of local candidates we're seeing

In my job I often feel like the political version of the hipster who saw the band in the small club five years before the arena tour. We can see how things are changing well before they bubble up to national attention.

Another great video from Katie @whodidwhatnowpod.bsky.social
She talks on the first concentration camp
"it wasn't just a prison, it was a holding center for anyone the regime deemed racially or socially undesirable "
Sound familiar????

This is the darkest time in our nation since the Civil War. The right is radicalized at Berlin 1941 levels and many Americans are celebrating cruelty and lawlessness masquerading as power.

It is time for an awakening of morality, decency and public resistance to evil.

Great news! However, as of earlier May 2025, Novavax wasn't available at major vaccine provider sites in multiple US states. Does any one have an update about availability? Asking for two old farts who will actually qualify.

Even if it's difficult to make plans right now, it's important to nevertheless make plans, however small.

Plan to see people.
Get your hair cut.
Listen and dance to music with others.
Frequent your local businesses.
Read that book -- y'know that one.
Organize whatever.

We save ourselves by living.

Just a brief note to thank you for such a warm welcome to Bluesky. As you might imagine itโ€™s been especially rough, with our special friend and his associates now in control at HHS. Doing what I can, not hunkering down, instead leaning in - but in productive ways that could effect positive change.

We Canโ€™t Give In to Fear From Marc | No one wants to speak up. Everyone wants to hide or lay low.

If I could speak to the heads of big law firms, I would ask: Is the risk of losing some clients worth betraying your oath to the rule of law?

To everyone nodding but refusing to take a stand, I say: You are ignoring Martin Niemรถllerโ€™s message. It is you that Martin Luther King Jr. was condemning.
