When I was little, the U.S. military came to our home at gunpoint and took me and my family away. We were imprisoned for years in barbed wire camps simply because we were Japanese American. I have spent my life telling that story, hoping it would never be repeated.

The Lancet’s response to Tr*mp threatening medical journals is scathing:
“one of the intents of authoritarian governments is to destroy independent science at government institutions and to silence academia...Science and medicine in the USA are being violently dismembered while the world watches.”

RFK Jr blames diet, lifestyle & vaccines for chronic illness.
Dr Oz says it’s a “patriotic duty” to lead a healthy life & be fit enough to serve in the military.
Neither of them are pushing for Universal Healthcare, basic income, an end to food deserts & inequality, clean water etc.

"Milk safety” shouldn’t be a nostalgic phrase. But the FDA just paused the program that keeps dairy testing consistent and reliable in the U.S. and most people don’t even know it happened or how it could affect them.

What Happens When the FDA Stops Testing Your Milk?
You shouldn’t have to think twice about whether your milk is safe. But after the FDA quietly suspended its quality control testing program, maybe we all should.

Don’t shame people for not immediately reading all the books they buy. Some books aren’t made to be ready right away, okay? Some books need time to mature. Some books need to cure for a while. Some books are prosciutto, and don’t you forget it.

A federal court ruled Alabama can’t punish people or groups—like @yellowfund.bsky.social—for helping others travel for abortion care 👏.
This is a crucial step for #abortionrights, especially for people and communities of color most impacted by bans.

Kilmar Garcia was in the U.S. legally. He entered as a minor and had legal protection under “withholding of removal” granted by a judge in 2019, meaning deportation was prohibited by law. ICE removed him anyway, and the Supreme Court ruled it was illegal. Facts matter more than slogans.

Undocumented immigrants paid an effective federal income tax rate of 5.27% in 2022.
That means they paid a higher effective tax rate than 5 of the richest Americans…and a higher effective tax rate than 55 mega corporations.
