Q30 has sold thousands of Q-Collars, a medical device cleared by the FDA to address football’s brain injury crisis, to athletes.
But FDA documents show some of the agency’s reviewers doubted Q-Collars offered meaningful protection against brain injury.

Device claims to protect athletes’ brains, but records reveal doubts at FDA
NFL players wear it. Some coaches and parents swear by it. But does the Q-Collar actually work?

the part about that “i love hitler” groupchat is that it’s not surprising that all young republicans are nazis, this is just the average rightwinger these days. they’re all extremists who love every extreme position possible and everyone needs to realize that

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera
In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.
As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

The most frustrating thing about this war is that the US could step in forcefully now with harsh sanctions against Russia and a large military package for Ukraine with ranged weapons as the centrepiece, and the war would end soon with a Russian defeat.

ICE admits that up to 50% of arrests in its Chicago raids are "collateral.” These aren't statistics. They are parents taken from their children, neighbors taken from our communities. When does a "collateral" U.S. citizen child's trauma matter? This isn't law enforcement; it's a campaign of terror.

Preliminary graph on deaths by political terrorist killers, 2000-2025
As should be obvious, right-wing ideologies dominate mass death in the United States
If you'd like to help with this dataset (which fixes & extends that flawed Cato dataset), send me a DM!

*Sees the most Catholic person in the world doing the most Catholic thing there imaginable*: goddamn Pagans!
Far-right Catholics freaking out about the Pope doing normal Pope things will always be entertaining.
The Pope blessed some water? Can you even imagine?

A bus of Bronx middle schoolers pulled up to the Capitol this morning for a long-planned field trip just a few hours after the government shut down.
All Capitol tours were cancelled as the guides can’t work in shutdown.
So I escorted them in myself and gave them a personal tour. They were great!

1. Vehemently anti-LGBTQ+ Oklahoma education superintendent is finally out as of yesterday.
He appointed Libs of TikTok to the library board, and constantly worked against LGBTQ+ students.
Now, local businesses are literally throwing parties that he is gone.

We Are Finally Free of Oklahoma’s Anti-Trans Superintendent Ryan Walters
From his culture war casualties to financial impropriety, Ryan Walters was a menace. Thank God he’s gone—for now, at least.

So far today, Chuck Schumer has said his strategy for preventing Trump sending troops into blue cities is to win over Republican senators (!) while Hakeem Jeffries praised Eric Adams's courage and authenticity (!!) while refusing to endorse Mamdani. Again.
These two gotta go.

A MAGA nutjob owns CNN and CBS and is getting control of TikTok. Twitter and Facebook are controlled by wingnuts, as are the WaPo and LAT and a majority of local tv and radio stations. And yet this reality rarely comes up in discussions of the Dems’ messaging problems or lack of popularity.
