Proud abortion nurse, former ICU nurse. Loves justice, reason, mountains, high deserts, science, being brave. And Frito pie.
Visit Montgomery ASAP. Artists & activists are “wresting control of the historic narrative” of slavery, racial terror & incarceration. Mothers of Gynecology museum is earth-moving & shit-disturbing. Go now.

"Debate Me" is the campus spinoff of anti-abortion sidewalk "counseling." It's using free speech as a shield to demand interaction without consent
“Debate Me” culture is not organic, endemic, or apolitical. This mode of high jacking discourse is and has been central to a 30-year conservative training program that has produced untold numbers of people to do this for every reason but “civil discourse”
It's wild to me how ostensibly smart people cannot/could not/will not see what is so obvious.

@mmasnick.bsky.social nails it. And my hunch is we'd be a better society if the Very Serious People with the Very Serious Ideas opened their fucking eyes.

Kirk didn't serve in the military or hold office. The war hero treatment -- half-mast flags, military guard, Air Force Two escort, calls for a statue at the Capitol or to lie in the Rotunda -- shows that for MAGA, service to Trump has become the highest, most honorable form of service.

Remember the West Wing episode after Bartlett was shot and CJ listed *all the other people* shot that day and closed with “lest anybody think a gun would have prevented these crimes, let’s remember that the President was shot while surrounded by the best armed bodyguards known to man.”

Newsom is FakeSteveJobs-ing Trump.
Gavin Newsom is parodying Donald Trump online—and the reaction from Trump’s supporters is proof that Newson is on to something, @radiofreetom.bsky.social argues.

Not a single Republican officeholder should have another peaceful day. Their lives should be perpetual public torment.
They expect the calls will fall off. That we will move on. That what they’ve done will get buried in a few news cycles. We need them to know how wrong they are. We need to tell them that we will remember.
This is going to be devastating, and just like the run up to this chosen catastrophe, there won’t be enough attention on the people we will lose. Listen for them.

The most important thing we can do is remember.

It is amazing to me that Dems are pressured to water down their messaging in order to avoid alienating 'centrists,' but Republicans can round up and deport sobbing children without fear of alienating 'centrists.' Says a lot about what we mean when we say 'centrists'

Almost every line of this story would have been simply unbelievable a few months ago:

—Pioneering cancer researcher;
—*Arrested* at airport in Boston;
—Now indefinite ICE detention in Louisiana;
—"Crime": not declaring some frog-embryo samples for research.

Read it.

Without scientist Kseniia Petrova’s expertise, no one can fully unlock the data’s potential, putting crucial advancements in early cancer detection at risk.
