We must stop tinkering around the edges of a broken healthcare system.

Yes, let's extend the ACA tax credits to prevent a huge spike in healthcare costs for millions. Then, let's finally create a system that puts your health over corporate profits.

We need Medicare for All.

I just had my daughter watch Mamdanu’s victory speech with me, and then we danced to Dhoom Machale. Very overjoyed

A Bard College student was kidnapped by ICE and Bard’s administration is advocating for his release and has created a website to assist the rest of the community in joining them.

That’s what academic leaders should be doing for their students right now. www.instagram.com/p/DQKSTDJkeF...

In about three years the entire university pivot to AI curricula and schools and programs is going to be so deeply embarrassing. We will all pretend it never happened and I will be standing there, looking at people with a mirror in my eyes. This is all so embarrassing.

Remember when RFK Jr. challenged Senator Wyden to a mailbag size contest?

Defend Public Health has a new campaign. You can help prove that scientists and healthcare workers do not, in fact, support RFK Jr.’s agenda by sending Senator Wyden a postcard.

When Senator Wyden stated he’d heard from thousands of doctors and scientists concerned by RFK Jr’s policies, Kennedy responded "I'll put my mailbag against your mailbag any day.” Let's prove Kennedy ...

Congrats to Lisa Murkowski on voting for a bill that she herself admitted was not ready in hopes that the House would change it. Now it’ll become law. She had the power to stop it, and instead chose to become complicit. That’s her legacy.

As a brown person living in Manhattan when 9/11 happened I know racism and Islamophobia never went away but boy is it not great to log on every day and see politicians being so gleefully awful toward a guy who looks like me and my family

These people are Nazis. I know that's well-understood by many people at this point, but not enough. They are Nazis and we need to keep saying it.

There are two kinds of people we’re fighting in public health — antivaxxers and minimizers. And minimizers are almost worse than antivaxxers. With antivaxxers, bad is clearly bad — they lie, twist facts, push grifts, and spread disinformation. They do what we expect them to do.

Wow. I have never seen something like this in Bangla. “Hashi Kusshi” and “Karap na”. Nailed it.
My Bangladeshi friends tell me Zohran Mamdani’s Bangla is quite good in this new ad.

Around 100,000 Bangladeshis living in New York.

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people:

1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money
3) We won’t need a lot of troops
4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq
5) We’ll find WMDs
6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators
7) It will be easy
8) It won’t take long

All lies.

This needs to be amplified by everyone everywhere all at once 🧪
the mainstream media has been steadily buying into the idea that science and academia are somehow "captured" by left and liberal ideologues, rather than the more obvious explanation that measured analysis leads people away from reactionary thought
