Look. Invading our own country is about as straightforward a case as you can have for impeachment. The GOP abandoning the Constitution is kind of the only story there is and it gets no coverage.

California and New York paying taxes to this federal government in 2025 is tantamount to England and France paying taxes to Germany in 1940.

The money is going to be used *against* you.

I’m only getting four hours of sleep tonight, so I’m setting five alarms.

That way, I’ll be sure to get out of bed with at least one of them. πŸ˜‚

Making seniors go into the doctor’s office, regardless of their access to transportation, income level, or mobility issues. 😑

Republicans are hoping seniors will stay home rather than seek care.

Republicans are pro-death.

US farmers are saying they "just need temporary help, until things get better."

Here's the thing. US farm exports- which are mostly soy- CANNOT get better.

Other countries expanded their soy industries to fill China's demand.

We've walled ourselves out of the global market, folks. This is it.

Hey remember when the CDC dropped 6 of the 8 foodborne illnesses from the nationwide monitoring system in July and one of them was listeria? Mentioning for no particular reason www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

If you are calling the Tylenol/autism issue a distraction, you are assisting the administration in harming people with autism and their familiesβ€”and you are also overlooking the way fascism is built on a bedrock of ableism and misogyny.

Sit down for breakfast but because I have Truth alerts on my phone--professional hazard on the fascism beat--I learn five minutes after the fact that Trump is sending troops to Portland with authorization for "full force." Not a drill, friends.

Autistic moms are livid after Trump and RFK Jr blame Tylenol β€” and them Autistic moms tell Eric Garcia that they fear Trump’s outlandish and conspiratorial claims about autism and Tylenol both erase their needs and those of their children

I interviewed #ActuallyAutistic moms about their reactions to Trump uring pregnant women not to take Tylenol and his anti-vaccine claims. They are a mix of livid, disheartened and frustrated that once again, their experiences as autistic women is erased.

Instead of complaining about people who are actually doing things, but maybe not the thing you would do, or the thing you most want people to do, talk to people and help them figure out how to be useful. The people *doing something* are not the problem. We need more people doing a lot of things.

Got a teeny bit nervous that I have a book subtitled β€œThe Fascist Allure.”

Nahβ€”this EO is just another scare tactic.

If we don’t stand up for our principles, who will?

Infographic titled "AI Isn't a Ticket To an A," explaining how chatbots work, what the data show about the prevalence of these technologies and how they're used, what we know about the quality of their output, and what we know about the impact that frequent use of these technologies has on their users and on content creators, low-wage workers, and the environment.

For their first project, my Kids and Society students have to create an infographic clarifying a common misconception about "kids these days." I'd prefer that they not use AI to create their projects, so I made my own infographic explaining why : )

Even if you think they are carrying drugs, you can’t just murder them. πŸ™„

Drug trafficking does not carry the death penalty.

I’ve been wracking my brain over the last few days trying to remember if I took Tylenol when I was pregnant. 😟

I’ve been thinking about this even though I know they’re spouting BS. 😑 😑 I’ve internalized all the blame placed on moms.
