THIS IS HUGE! Researchers at Stanford University have developed a dual-antibody treatment that remains effective against ALL SARS-CoV-2 variants by targeting a less-mutable part of the virus. This breakthrough could lead to longer-lasting therapies that OUTPACE viral evolution. 🧪🧵⬇️

House Rs just passed the budget resolution, the first step in their process to enact a bill that'd kick millions off Medicaid & cut SNAP down to just $1.60 per person per meal on avg while cutting taxes for the top 0.1% by $278k - all while increasing the debt

Nothing has made me want to stop engaging on social media as fast as my time on Threads. But of course it’s informed by time on facebook and twitter. But wow, that last one wax a quick upset.

I resent having to have so much anger in my heart all the time. Because it’s not my default. I’m a happy person by default.

Russ Vought set up a CFPB snitch line where you can report any work by the agency still trying to do its job as legally mandated by Congress. It would be a real shame if this was flooded with false tips and wild goose chases...

Love to see it!
A gay guy, a Black man, and a woman walk into a flight deck— that’s not the beginning of a joke, but just a regular day at work! There was so much DEI on this plane that we could hardly get in the air. Luckily my limp wrists were able to wrestle the heavy jet back to the ground 💅🏼

If you’re in an institution doing any kind of DEI work, the most important thing to do right now is simply call it something else. Change it to “Community Outreach” & then keep on doing the same important work. When they outlaw Community Outreach rebrand it as “Strategic Partnerships,” rinse/repeat.

The facts are, the ACA saved millions with pre-existing conditions and set standards for care.
But now, more than a decade later, with what we now know, it’s time to take the insurance companies out of the mix.
The subsidies they get are enormous. We don’t need them as middlemen.

We can all say we wish he would have done more, but he was the most progressive president to date and some of you can’t appreciate that for the milestone it was.

Someone looked up incarcerated firefighters names/prison ID so you can donate directly to their commissary accounts. Note that commissary accounts usually have max limits but pretty great:

Price gouging after the fires is illegal, and that includes rent gouging, which we've already seen. Despicable.

Jimmy Carter, a visionary on ending fossil fuels, put solar panels on the White House. Big Oil-backed Ronald Reagan ousted Carter in 1980 and ripped them out
Tonight, as Carter lies in in state in the Capitol, a climate-fueled wildfire is destroying Reagan's former hometown of Pacific Palisades

I was just saying how out-of-season this was, but oops
The emergence of extreme wintertime wildfires in California is one of those classic “this is climate change” moments: A specific set of weather conditions is now occurring in such a way to produce the potential for rare disasters to become much more common.

The horrifying L.A. wildfires are being fueled by the worst conditions January has ever seen
Southern California is experiencing a midwinter drought at the same time as dangerous Santa Ana winds, leading to a wildfire in the Pacific Palisades.
