This should be getting far more attention from the media, and it should be investigated as a hate crime. A 14-year-old Black teen was targeted, beaten, and dehumanized with racial slurs by white teens while people stood around cheering. 1/4

"Six deaths from #rabies have been reported over the last 12 months in the U.S., the highest number in years, according to the CDC... In comparison, from 2015 to 2024, 17 cases of human rabies were reported, two of which were contracted outside the U.S" www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...
On the one hand, the U.S. Government wanted to rapidly deport CHILDREN in the middle on the night. And on the other hand, a government lawyer said it will take them 5 days to explain in writing why they’re doing it.
There’s a special place in hell for morons who get millions of people killed.
The Trump 2.0 authoritarian regime is actively seeking ways to neutralize all who dare to oppose their brutal police state. Whether "neutralize" is defined as "slander", "litigate", "imprison", "sicken" or "murder", they really couldn't care less. For fascists, the end always justifies the means.
"We’ve seen it before: the Trump regime attempting to clandestinely and illegally remove people from the United States under the cover of darkness, only to be ordered to stop operations mid-flight." Terrified children shipped off to somewhere dangerous in the middle of the night. WTF are we doing?
It took cops three hours to finally go into the Pulse nightclub the night of the shooting. If you wander near a crosswalk in Florida with a piece of chalk right now you'll have four cops on you in under five seconds.🤷♂️
Hm. Almost like lots of people have some kind of "post covid" health something going on /s 🤔😑🙄 Also, we are not yet in any way post-covid.
I guess wind is too woke. 😏 apple.news/A05G7zf9TQhu...
but mostly for the benefit of The System?
but it was a phoney artificial (but efficient?) appeal to SOME people (I never felt drawn to a place with, um, a double-cracker logo)

Trump cut more funding for pediatric cancer research!! The Pediatric Brain Tumor Consortium, which consists of 16 academic centers and children’s hospitals are reporting that they have lost federal funding. Children with brain cancer!! 😭

Trump and Dr. Oz want AI to decide which Medicare patients get care—and they're giving AI companies a profit-incentive to deny coverage. Everything about this is sick and wrong. Tell Congress to intervene NOW:

Robert Kennedy Jr. is a fucking lunatic. Period.
Bad news indeed. Foodborne disease outbreaks that I investigated during the 1990s used CDC's newly-developed molecular methods developed with FoodNet funding. The tools allowed us to specifically ID foods and to intervene, preventing ongoing exposures and infections. 🧪🥚🍔🥗 tinyurl.com/2p9kt5mr
In the age of Brain Worm Jr, "largely eradicated" is a meaningless phrase.
Let that sink in.
Newborns are being forced to share an incubator at Gaza City’s al-Helou International Hospital as rising cases of acute malnutrition overwhelm the wards. Doctors say hospitals are running out of space amid Israel's man-made famine.

This should be headline news - the implications are horrifying …
So regressive & dystopian it feels like, um, The Handmaid’s Tale…👇 “…public school board is yanking more than 200 books from its library…” “…including literary classics such as author Margaret Atwood’s ‘The Handmaid’s Tale’” MAGA Alberta: edmontonjournal.com/news/edmonto....
Love it!!
This clip is WILD! Not only does Smith concede that schools boards have been doing a good job of keeping inappropriate materials out of schools… She also makes it clear that she wants to be the moral arbiter of what kids can read. With no background in education. #abpoli
America is being held hostage by a death cult.
The local police should be arresting these thugs. Looks like the pardoned insurrectionists have found prey their size.
The Earth is talking to us, but we seem unable to listen.
ICE took 2 firefighters OFF THE FUCKING FIRE LINE!?
Scientists have studied mRNA for decades. The vaccine has proven to be safe & effective-saving millions of lives. Researchers are working on mRNA vaccine for HIV. RFK Jr is an ignorant nut. In 2019 he visited Samoa & told ppl measles vaccine is dangerous. Tragically he was believed. 83 kids died
Today in Republican Depravity. (One in a series.)
The Trump administration says they're the "most transparent" in history. But when I asked the Department of Homeland Security who writes their social media posts, something extremely weird happened: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
Upon further reflection of the most recent school-shooting atrocity in America.... it's so very good not to live there. And we should continue boycotting them forever for being so reckless with all human life - in every context, and every case. Do not believe any of their nonsense... Goodbye.

i don’t give a shit what the trump family thinks of covid vaccines. they are greedy traitors and pedophiles. the grossest people in the world are making our heath decisions.
As a millennial there are two things I haven't heard about in a long while: The ozone layer, and second hand smoke. I think it's good to remember those, and know that problems are solvable. It just takes leadership to do so. If any leader tells you it's not possible, they're willingly incompetent.
Sweeps exacerbate homelessness — they can be traumatic, dangerous, and leave people without belongings and vital records. Unhoused people need housing and services, not sweeps.
Lavrov’s response 3 times is to insist that Russia has “never, ever targeted civilian sites.” So the apartment buildings and hospitals we see in flames every day and bodies of civilians is all made up apparently. This is who they are - liars and barbarians.
Today is Ukraine’s Independence Day. Slava Ukraini! This is Ukraine now, this Ukraine will never again in history be forced into the shame "Russians" call a "compromise." We need a just peace. What our future will be is up to us alone, and the world respects it. kyivindependent.com/ukraine-will...

No matter what you think about Mr. Abrego Garcia, if you believe in due process you should be infuriated by this. The Trump admin is threatening to dump him in Africa as punishment for not pleading guilty to criminal charges they brought to avoid complying with a court order.
Bernie Sanders: In the richest country on Earth, 800,000 Americans are homeless, and 20 million households are spending 50% or more of their limited income on housing.
NEW: 1km of Montreal’s Ste-Catherine Street will become permanently “pedestrian only” (less than perfect term since it will be a people-place for a LOT more than walking). 225+ new trees, vegetation-covered pits for rain drainage, more seating, illuminated canopy, financial help for businesses, etc.
I hope Bolton sues them for a Billion Dollars.

Hi, Greg! Important addendum:
Trump will never run out of ways to get into trouble or fuck things up, it’s his superpower

Charlie Kirk, a child of the suburbs, says the increasing non-white population of NYC doesn't "belong there." He and Trump imagine the nation's cities remade as Potemkin Villages, free of the disturbingly diverse residents who actually make them the economic and cultural engines of the nation.
Good morning! How are you holding up? What are you up to today? Please enjoy this big bumblebee on a sulfur cosmos. She looked queen-sized, but that would be unusual at this time of the year. I really like this sulphur cosmos variety: "Ladybird" cosmos, which is a dwarf cultivar.

Charging for vaccination is bad public health policy. Even worse for a disease that continues to spread, unchecked, causing death and permanent disability.
I deeply resent having to defend John Bolton but “the president sends his goons on a fishing expedition to raid anyone who criticizes him” is in fact very alarming
“We’re watching the worst president in history manipulate the worst White House press corps in history every day,” says MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell. And to that I say amen. @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com

definitely do not repost this repudiation because you know how that works (all over the walls, you say...)
Figures from a classified Israeli military intelligence database indicate five out of six Palestinians killed by Israeli forces in Gaza have been civilians, an extreme rate of slaughter rarely matched in recent decades of warfare.
magats don't "get" a lotta things - in fact, it may be a defining characteristic
American doctor Mimi Syed says she was just denied entry back to Gaza for her third medical mission. She was carrying food, baby formula, and life-saving equipment. She had been to Gaza twice before already. Another doctor denied with her had been before as well.

The ICE camps are a mass disabling event The inhumane conditions, overcrowding and lack of regard for human rights will cause death and disability At least 52 deaths were recorded between 2017-2021… and 95% of them were preventable No one even tracks the people who become disabled. It must stop

Well worth reading: “growing number of scientists believe that the SARS-CoV-2 virus may instead be subtly altering our immune systems. If correct, their hypothesis will change how we understand everything from respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) to shingles to sepsis.”
