Don't let them lie to you about Senator Padilla. DHS is claiming the agents DID NOT KNOW he was a senator. He CLEARLY says (BEFORE he is tackled and cuffed) "I am Senator Alex Padilla and I have a question for the secretary."

I cannot emphasize this enough: Please do not use AI tools as therapy. Not only is it not a good replacement for actual therapy, but your chat logs could be shared with the government, and I don't think you need a reminder that especially right now in the US, that could put you in danger.
AI therapy is a surveillance machine in a police state
Big Tech wants you to share your private thoughts with chatbots — while backing a government with contempt for privacy.

AOC: The math is not adding up. Their claim is that one million undocumented people are on Medicaid. So why are they trying to cut 13.7 million Americans off their healthcare?

I'm calling my representative tomorrow and urging them to vote for Rep. Thanedar's articles of impeachment.

The President has broken the law and should be held accountable. That's not a political issue, it's a fact.

Waiting to see who votes against impeachment.👀

Anyone serious about raising birth rates knows it is a longterm proposition at best. So one way you can tell if someone is serious is their attitude toward climate change. If you're not fixing climate change you don't care about birth rates, you care about patriarchal politics.

We're hearing rumors that Ds have worked out a deal to allow a cloture vote (ie, give up their leverage to stop the bill) in exchange for a vote on an amendment (which will fail).

That's not acceptable. We need real opposition to Trump's corruption, not procedural gimmicks. Call your Senators now:
TODAY: We need every Senate Democrat to vote no on a crypto bill that would enable Trump to keep accepting bribes from billionaires, corporations, and foreign governments. We can block S.394 if Democrats unite in opposition, but they’re not there yet, so make sure your senators hear from you ASAP. 👇

Do those Democrats who argue that Dems need to “move away from woke” know that they are making common cause with these vicious, ignorant people? That they are participating in the weaponization of a racist trope that insults the party’s most loyal base?

"the left needs a solution to declining birth rates"

we've had one since the dawn of human civilisation, it's called immigration. there is no such thing as population decline on the macro scale, for every death roughly 2.4 people are born.

it isn't a real problem.

Google, OpenAI, SpaceX, NASA, NSA, and Chinese universities all do great science. But where and how their scientists are trained, and the social context of their research - eg, the choices they are free to make, what they publish - determine the contribution of science to society

I have never met a CEO whose labor is worth 719 times more than their average worker.

Never.

Yet at Target, that’s how much more CEO Brian Cornell makes compared to the average Target worker.

Dear Media, et al,

For heaven's sake, please stop saying that Trump "trolls Canada" or "wants to make Canada the 51st state."

The man is literally threatening Canada and the Canadian people with annexation, a thing that could only be achieved by invasion.

That's not trolling. That's not "wants."

ICE raided a military base to abduct the wife of a Coast Guardsman while he was out serving the country.

Literally the wife of a DHS employee.

Feel safer?
The wife of an active-duty Coast Guardsman was arrested earlier this week by federal immigration authorities inside the family residential section of the U.S. Naval Air Station at Key West, Florida, after she was flagged in a routine security check, officials said Saturday.

🤰$5K for having a baby? That’s cute.

Giving birth (with insurance) costs an average of $19K, with women paying $3K out of pocket. 💸

Caring for an infant in the first year costs $10-23K. 💰💰💰

This study is how we know almost any true thing about women's health.
NIH Cancels its First and Largest Study Centered on Women

WHI currently enrolls 42,000 women. Launched in 1991. >160k women participated in initial clinical trials or were later tracked.

Termination will "severely limit WHI’s ability to generate new insights into the health of older women."
I don't get how anyone can possibly be okay with ending the WHI. This study has accrued decades of data from 42000 women and it is still going. It helps to address critical research gaps that have been allowed to go unfilled because of durable misogyny and provides invaluable insight into aging.
