Meanwhile, and this is truly beyond belief, the solution to famine in Gaza is RIGHT THERE.

Which is what makes this starvation a deliberate and genocidal act.

Bernie Sanders is 💯correct:
"And in their pursuit of more power, more control, and more wealth, they are determined to not allow democracy and the rule of law to get in their way."

Remarkable thread offering guidance to current and prospective NSF grantees about how to navigate the times ahead — from an NSF program officer who was fired in yesterday's DOGE purge (!)
Upon learning that yesterday would be my last day as a program officer at the National Science Foundation, I shared this parting message with my colleagues. The next few months will be frenetic and stressful for them. Here are some things that you can do to help them with the mission ahead. (1)

This opposition tells you a lot about how often airlines destroy wheelchairs.
Five major airlines are suing to overturn a rule from then-Transportation secretary Pete Buttigieg that actually holds airlines accountable for damaging disabled people's wheelchairs. New from me at @motherjones.com. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

It’s extra important for your GOP senator to hear from you right now if you’re in one of these states.

The measles outbreak in Texas is reminding me of the public letter Roald Dahl wrote about losing his daughter to measles in 1962, just before the vaccine was publicly available.

On Friday night, HHS ordered CDC to take down all flu vaccine campaign materials from its website. Materials are starting to come down.
For example, a campaign explaining that flu shot can reduce flu severity from "wild to mild" is now offline. Left image is from Friday, right is now

Refugees sent to a concentration camp at Gitmo without due process or writ of habeas Corpus is a human rights violation and evil.

This is even more chilling. If that's possible. It's all so far beyond the pale distinction is meaningless:

i am going to put a finer point on this: executive orders are not laws. and they certainly are not royal decrees. they are interpretations of existing law for the purposes of enforcement. the fact that so many people are treating them as laws is actually driving me a bit insane.
i mean, the president's executive order isn't a goddamn law! as far as this doctor is concerned, who cares what the president says!

Had my first healthcare worker refuse to mask for me.

My chart is documented that I’m immune compromised & require staff to mask. The facility had a policy that if asked, staff will wear.

I was told “no I need to breathe to do my job”.

I stood firm & said I’m high risk and masks are required 🧵

They declined again and said they’re “claustrophobic”.

I said “I’m sorry to hear that but you work in healthcare. Being able to wear a mask is a requirement of your job. Please put one on before coming near me”

A firm no. They refused to check my chart. Refused to even show concern or empathy /2

I will also add that people in Congress are not volunteers. They are being paid. They have health insurance. They have retirement. They have ONE JOB—to serve their constituents. And if they cannot figure out how to push back politically they don't deserve to be in office.

My proposed title and my opening and closing lines do not leave my stance on RFK Jr remotely ambiguous. He’s dangerously ignorant, egomaniacal, and effectively a mass murderer in waiting. He has no business being anywhere near HHS.
