More than 50 medical schools will expand nutrition education in agreement with RFK Jr. At a time when his vaccine policies are causing pushback from doctors, Kennedy's allies push nutrition education as an area of common ground.

β€œAmong the 53 schools making the commitment are NYU Grossman School of Medicine, University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, and Dartmouth’s Geisel School of Medicine. The American Medical Association and the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) are also on board”

Goodnight, friends.

My beloved is in Chicago for an evening out with our oldest son. I'm home snuggling with two lovely cat boys and getting ready to turn on some old time radio shows.

I love you.

Indiana lawmakers are once again trying to weaken child labor laws: Bill sponsored by business owner would enable employers to hide child labor violations Coordinated, industry-backed campaigns to weaken child labor protections continue to target state legislatures in 2026.

The Indiana House and Senate have both passed a bill to completely eliminate requirements for businesses to document the employment of child workers.

If this bill becomes law it would enable employers to hide child labor violations, according to @epi.org.

Tennessee Wants to Let Schools Ban Immigrant Kids, Threatening to β€œEnd Public Education as We Know It” A Tennessee bill would take the right to education away from undocumented children. The Heritage Foundation is pushing it in other states.

Tennessee wants to ban undocumented children from access to a free public education, and turn school administrators into immigration informants. The Heritage Foundation wants to take that plan national. Read my latest for @theintercept.com:

I would love to sell out of my first print run before I start my next run of shows (and it helps pay for the second print run order I just made!) - there are just about 10 copies left.

I really loved making it and I think you'll feel inspired to make all sorts of things when you read it!

I Murder Hate
Robert Burns

I murder hate by flood or field,
Tho’ glory’s name may screen us;
In wars at home I’ll spend my bloodβ€”
Life-giving wars of Venus.
The deities that I adore
Are social Peace and Plenty;
I’m better pleas’d to make one more,
Than be the death of twenty.

I would not die like Socrates,
For all the fuss of Plato;
Nor would I with Leonidas,
Nor yet would I with Cato:
The zealots of the Church and State
Shall ne’er my mortal foes be;
But let me have bold Zimri’s fate,
Within the arms of Cozbi!

In 1787, Robert Burns acquired a diamond-tipped pen which he used to inscribe poems on windows & chimney-pieces across Scotland. β€œI Murder Hate” is Burns’s version of β€œmake love, not war” #graffiti, & was etched into a window at the Globe Tavern, Dumfries

I’ve been notified about another death in ICE custody.

This marks a stunning 40 deaths during the second Trump administration.

This cannot continue. There must be real accountability for ICE and DHS.
