I've been online for 100 years. I believe in people power. I want us all to do better. She/her. Phillyish. Crone-age. So so late.
My two cents People are going to get so fucking sick and not know why. Some people are going to die.
Paul BleicherAstonishing. RFK Jr. adds 8 members to a 6 member FDA advisory panel. 6 of them were sellers of peptides, and the 7th a compounding pharmacist. In an 8-6 vote with all 8 votes coming from these new panel members, the panel approved 4 peptides against the objections of FDA scientists.
what a must-read piece. also, shout out to @gulfstatesnewsroom.bsky.social @typeinvestigations.org and @floodlightnews.org, credited by the NYT for the work they did on this topic well before this published
Brian LymanA lot of what-the-hell moments in this story, but building a data center in a floodplain in Louisiana is inviting the wrath of Poseidon.
“And that's why I, Mark Kelly, keep voting to confirm his far right authoritarian nominees to the federal bench" bsky.app/profile/mcop...
Aaron RuparMark Kelly: "He's stuck. He doesn't know what to do. This is a guy who in his last term said he knows more than the admirals and generals. His high school military education certainly did not prepare him to be the commander in chief."
this is more that people are really, really bad at numbers than that they actually think a quarter of Americans are Jewish. test-groups like 'redheaded' and 'left-handed' are useful to have here; people routinely wildly overestimate the size of small groups becuase they can't actually think.

Stephen Miller said just the other day that all asylum claims are "fake." A couple deported from the U.S. to Guatemala were gagged, bound, and shot dead. Their 14-month old found crying next to their mother's body. People like Miller don't care though because this is the point: ethnic cleansing.

This white woman is actively making her workplace unsafe for her Black queer colleagues & not in just like an uncomfortable way which is already unacceptable but in a pitchforks & burning crosses type of way. This is fucking disgusting & violent.

The next time that a candidate for Congress (especially one that has received $46,000,000 in support from AIPAC, no less) says that they "support a two-state solution", the moderator or reporter in question should ask a very simple follow up: "what will you do to compel its advancement?"
Police arrested a teacher for clapping during a city council meeting last week.

In case you were wondering what has happened in the time since the trump administration threw a ton of resources to try to ruin this guy’s life and disappear him, he’s still in Ohio. He tells me tonight: “I'm back to work as chaplain at TriHealth”

Here's the unspoken thing: the livability of the planet in my middle age depends on a rapid shift in American politics that simply may not happen, and it will be especially unreachable if we do the same concessions to dark money funded doubtmongering on the climate side as we're debating with MAHA
