funny how rfk jr. is trying to fire everyone working at the CDC museum, which has an OG iron lung on display
Close your eyes, imagine being paralyzed… unable to breathe

Imagine being stuck in a claustrophobic iron lung, to breathe

Maybe we all need to time travel, to appreciate how science & public health save us, every single day?

This is wrong on every level. It’s a rigorous process that can take years. Just because a small number of rotten people faked being blind or paralyzed doesn’t mean the system should be gutted or over 9 million veterans getting benefits smeared. This is so dam irresponsible of WaPo.

Mark Bray wrote a book on antifascism and was trying to leave the country with his family after being targeted by right-wing operatives and receiving death threats:
“Someone” cancelled my family’s flight out of the country at the last second.

We got our boarding passes. We checked our bags. Went through security. Then at our gate our reservation ‘disappeared.’

You’ve probably heard the famous post- WWII poem, “First They Came.”

But have you seen this positive new adaptation by @bridgetmoixfcnl.bsky.social ?

Lisa Von Ahn writes how she found hope & inspiration for this moment in the poem. We hope you do too.

Please take a listen to @ahylton26.bsky.social and @nhannahjones.bsky.social

Ms. Hylton hits the nail on the head with the hammer, and Ms. Hannah-Jones drives it home.

Right-wing Sinclair Broadcasting owns all these local media stations and many others all across America. This is not journalism, it is scripted propaganda.

Excuse me? What is “traditional political violence”??

Oh, it’s when Lindsey’s people in South Carolina kill black folks, isn’t it?
Sen. Graham: "This is viewed by many people in the MAGA movement, conservatives like myself, as an attack on the movement and not just traditional political violence, and I really believe that."

To support the Twin Cities community after the Annunciation school shooting last week, the incredible Anne Ursu is raising money to donate copies of my book Not Like Every Day: Finding Calm During School Lockdown Drills to local schools. Support, if you can, with donations or shares.

The idea we should behave in such a way that the Trumpists will not portray us as dangerous/ lawless/ violent is a silly idea, because they always portray us that way and no amount of curtseys and rolling over and playing dead will change that. So people might as well speak up and stand strong.
