On this date, Matthew Shephard died 27 years ago. He was beaten, tortured, and left for dead on fence for being gay. Please keep him and his wonderful mother Judy in your thoughts. And let's all work for a world where such horrific things do not happen to anyone. ❤️🏳️🌈

SenatorWarnock just broke it down: health care is on the line.
A Chatham County family once paid $559/month for coverage—now it’s $2,100 after GOP subsidy cuts. Quadruple the cost just to stay insured.

The clearest, most on-point comment about the shutdown I’ve heard so far. Some angry rants make us smarter and sharper. This is one of them.

I got angry this morning when I saw a clip of a reporter asking Trump what I think is the wrong question. Here’s my very ranty response. (Trigger warning—cursing.)

Gupta: It is safe. That’s what the best-quality research shows. And how irresponsible, using the podium of the WH to put this out there when you’re not even offering an alternative. That is dangerous. An untreated fever is dangerous. Untreated pain in pregnancy is dangerous.

It's been this way for decades, although the right throws a fit every time the FBI includes this fact in a report.
Just remember, 95% of deaths from extremist attacks were from right wing terrorism

Your Prime Day reminder that half of Amazon warehouse workers struggle with food & housing costs.
A third have had to rely on government assistance like SNAP — which is about to get cut.
If Bezos can spend $50M on a wedding, Amazon can afford to treat its workers with dignity.

Why are folks mad at the working mom with kids on Medicaid and SNAP rather than companies like Walmart that refuse to pay her a living wage and provide health insurance?

Framing is so important: the language we use about people, politics, and public policy--esp in media and political debate--can influence outcomes that make a monumental difference in our lives, for better or worse.
I have a whole chapter on framing in my forthcoming #medialiteracy graphic novel.

SSMIS is also used by forecasters to peer underneath the clouds of hurricanes to assess their location, cloud structure, and intensity. Losing SSMIS is another blow that will further degrade our ability to monitor and forecast hurricanes, just in time for the coming peak of hurricane season.
Awful. More horrible science news
"The NASA National Snow and Ice Data Center Distributed Active Archive Center (NSIDC DAAC) learned yesterday that the Department of Defense (DoD) will stop processing & delivering the Special Sensor Microwave Imager/Sounder (SSMIS) data no later than 30 June 2025."

When senators are treated like threats, it’s fascism.
Going forward, we must choose our battles wisely as MSM is not on our side. Don’t poke the bear.

Every flashbang could instead be a meal for a poor kid. Every hotel room for a National Guardsman deployed to fire at our neighbors could house a homeless vet. Every "less-than-lethal" bullet pulled from a journalist's eye could be already needed healthcare for anyone else. All of this is a choice.

The fires are so extensive across Manitoba, Saskatchewan & Ontario currently that there are not enough air crafts to rescue remote Native Canadians.
I am sending an SOS to every nation to help save the lives of people who are going to burn alive. Literally.
