It was incredible to be there, meet the team, see and sit in this beautifully built vehicle. Chris Anthony was very generous with his time and candor in a hours long Q&A. Every bit of the experience was confidence inspiring and exciting. This @aptera.us team is second to none!

Five corporations control 90% of the US media market.

Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today.

Four giants control 80% of meat processing.

A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry.

The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.

ACOG is an association of 60,000 OB-GYN physicians in the United States. Please see their statement regarding COVID-19 vaccines in pregnancy.
acog.org ACOG @acog.org · May 27
ACOG is deeply disappointed by HHS’s move to drop COVID-19 vaccine recommendations in pregnancy. The science is clear: COVID-19 remains dangerous in pregnancy and vaccination protects both patients and newborns. The vaccine is safe and protects families. Read our full statement: buff.ly/OGue7sO

So we should admit and accept, up front, that the Colorado never was and never will be a mighty river system, and that it is climate-­challenged and prone to drought. We never should have asked it for so much. We invaded it like cancer, turning water into property. I wish it wasn’t so. (From 2023)
Why is the Colorado River running dry?
It's not just drought. It's putting sacred cows above farmers, cities, and a secure future.

Reminder: the First Amendment protects everyone who resides in our country. It doesn't matter if you have a green card or a visa or if you're undocumented. The Supreme Court has repeatedly affirmed that any person residing in the United States, regardless of status, is entitled to 1A protections.

Hegseth, Waltz and company texting war plans to a reporter on signal is just the tip of the iceberg. This whole administration is full of incompetent, inexperienced, and unqualified clowns. Our national security is compromised in ways we’re just beginning to understand.

I’m curious if there are any scientific journals that are running special issues or pieces from scientists who are losing their funding or being fired. It needs to go down on the permanent record for the people who come after us.

Adding a journalist to a top secret government group chat about dropping bombs *IS* the kind of thing people who aren’t super politically literate can understand and find shocking/notable/disqualifying. Dems should seize on this and never ever let it go. I hope to hear about it in a decade

Violence Against Healthcare Workers is Out of Control

This week alone:
🔴 ER doc stabbed in the chest.
🔴 ICU shooter killed multiple staff.
🔴 Nurse beaten, now on ventilator.

Hospitals shouldn’t be war zones. It’s STILL a crime to attack healthcare workers.

Be safe out there.
