NEW: Texas Governor Greg Abbott has signed into law a new, deeply gerrymandered congressional map that disenfranchises voters of color for political gain. All voters deserve to be heard. This is an affront to our democracy.

Scientific American: For 20 years, Denmark conducted a large and meticulous study of whether aluminum in vaccines caused chronic childhood diseases. The data was clear: It did not. Malignant crackpot RDK Jr wanted a retraction of the study. The Annals of Internal Medicine said no.

I'm genuinely glad for Canada and this is a smart business play by Moderna but it also stings when you consider the Moderna vaccine exists because of $10 billion dollars of US taxpayer money. And RFK Jr. might kill our access.

Pritzker makes a crucial point here: Members of the National Guard have full-time jobs outside of their service and responsibilities. By frivolously calling them up, Trump is upending their lives just to weaponize them against their own neighbors and fellow Americans. It's appalling.

I’ve been saying this for a while too. American voters (in some large number) CHOSE this. They can’t be let off the hook or allowed to claim “I didn’t vote for this.” They absolutely did.

Yeah, and I agree that’s terrible and ultimately unproductive. My real point is that whatever priorities we have will be completely crushed by another Republican administration.
Derek K. Phillips (@digistrategist.bsky.social) reply parent
I know this is a bigger discussion than we can have via Bluesky but I wonder if we can agree there’s a difference between cowardice in messaging and commitment vs. active measures? Progress (slowly) gained over the last decade+ is being wiped out in months.
Derek K. Phillips (@digistrategist.bsky.social) reply parent
For sure, and I think it’s important to push candidates to take firm stances on those issues. But at the end of the day elections are often about harm reduction and another Republican administration will be fatal (if we even get out of this one).

It’s amazing how Republicans don’t even need to come up with any wedge issues for Democrats because we don’t it to ourselves. All I can say is fight for your interests and preferred candidate in the primaries but when the General comes around, get on board. 1/2

…and then coincidentally was transferred to a much nicer, lower-security prison that required a waiver because she’s a sexual predator. But do go on.

Let me get this straight. Maxwell spent days meeting with the Justice Department and didn't implicate anyone. But she got moved to a minimum security prison anyway. So, what exactly was she rewarded for? This ought to be a scandal, but it seems like nobody cares.
