A Battle with My Blood When I was diagnosed with leukemia, my first thought was that this couldn’t be happening to me, to my family.

This is your must read this week.

Read this.

It is about leukemia and the powers and limits of science and the terrifying dangers of the turn against it. It is human and excoriating and beautiful. www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...

Tatiana Schlossberg On The Power Of Our ‘Inconspicuous Consumption’ A new report finds global efforts to combat climate change over the past several years have been "gravely insufficient,” and according to the Global Commission on Adaptation, it's not so much money, but rather a lack of political leadership that's the source of the problem. A new book from former New York Times science reporter Tatiana Schlossberg details ways in which our everyday choices in clothing, technology, food and fuel contribute to the problem — and how consumers can make a difference by demanding more of the companies and governments behind the systems at play. Jim Braude was joined by Tatiana Schlossberg.

If you read Tatiana Schlossberg’s essay in the New Yorker yesterday and want to learn more about her work, here’s an interview she sat down for when she was promoting her book “Inconspicuous Consumption.”

Separated, Reunited, Now Deported The Biden administration tried to undo the damage of Trump’s border policies. Now the government is coming for the same families again.

“Since the beginning of Trump’s second term, members of at least five formerly separated families have been removed from the U.S. against their will.” www.thecut.com/article/fami...

This brutal photo shows that men - of any age - suffer terror during these violent detainments. Some people out there seem to think that men are somehow equipped to deal with this trauma - and most/all are not. Shame on the U.S.

She very often uses just sloppy and shallow language - seemingly to create a bold/brash/super knowledgeable impression? So certain of herself while getting facts and crucial subtleties wrong. I don’t get her. Less ambition, more reflection, pls.

Jackson Public Schools Supper Meal Program Fights Hunger The Jackson Public School Supper Meal Program provides access to nutritious meals beyond the regular school day.

"[W]e thought it was a great idea to provide an extra meal service during the after-school programming so that child wouldn't go an extended time period without that third meal," Jackson Public Schools Executive Director of Child Nutrition Marc Rowe said.

It remains insane to me that DOGE was treated at the time as an impressive shock and awe accomplishment - “you can’t deny he’s getting stuff done!” - and then instantly memory holed by the press once if became clear it was a total failure by every possible standard including Musk’s own

“Trump’s family has deals to build luxury resorts and hotels in Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and Oman. And their crypto firm will be used by the UAE to make a $2B deal— netting the Trumps hundreds of millions of dollars. His ‘diplomatic trips’ are blatant self-enrichment opportunities.” @rbreich.bsky.social

High school senior, a U.S. citizen, detained by ICE in Oregon The 17-year-old was held more than five hours Friday in an ICE facility, his brother said.

Kavanaugh stop. Smashed the kid’s car windows and arrested him. He told them he was a U.S. citizen. The officer replied “I don’t care.”

He looks like a Made Man.

ICE video shows officers planned to ‘smash’ into Charlotte man filming Border Patrol Immigration agents had a 12-pack of Modelos in their car while making arrests, Miguel Angel Garcia Martinez told investigators.

They planned to force him to crash or shoot him for recording their crimes. They then accused him of assaulting them. www.charlotteobserver.com/news/local/c...

A video from inside a Border Patrol vehicle shows agents chasing a US citizen for filming them. The citizen refused to get out when they illegally ordered him to stop. The agents say: "This is great." "This is fun." "He's going to get shot."

Quite the coincidence that the billionaire owner of the Washington Post isn’t in this photo collage

I hate RFK Jr.

I hate him so much.

This essay made me hate him more.

Dipshit is smashing out a car window with his gun, barrel first. Just rogue, cowboy stiff.

There were two US citizens in the car. They were apprehended and detained for “obstructing” ICE by honking their horn to let people know ICE was in the neighborhood.

A professor at Harvard released a study that indicates that the death toll on Gaza is close to 400,000 people.

Incredible. Just insane.

And the USA enabled and sponsored every single death.

One of the most disgusting things to happen in my lifetime.

Imagine, if you will, that NASA updated its website to suggest gravity might not exist, prompting CalTech and CERN to release statements saying, "With great sadness, we can no longer recommend listening to NASA."

This is what's happening in epidemiology.

Nursing is no longer counted as a 'professional degree' by Trump admin The Department of Education has excluded nursing as a "professional degree" program as it implements various changes to student loans.

The DOE just cut multiple fields from the “professional degree” list, shrinking loan access for future workers. Nursing, PAs, PT, OT, audiology, public health, social work, & education master’s all got dropped.

And yes, they’re fields dominated by women.

Yes.

Just a reminder that ICE head Tom Homan was caught taking a $50,000 cash bribe and the Trump administration covered it up.

Congresswoman Escobar Joins Nearly 200 House Democrats to Reverse Republican SNAP Cuts

Kennedy Says He Told C.D.C. to Change Website’s Language on Autism and Vaccines

No single person, especially someone with zero expertise, should be able to just change the CDC website on a whim. The fact that federal health and science pages are no longer trustable is a catastrophe for public health and democracy.
