MUZZLED CANCER REPORT—For past 3 years, the alcohol industry, aided by its allies in Congress & Trump WH, sought to discredit and bury a major analysis linking alcohol and getting sick and dying, including cancer. They succeeded. Author says says Trump WH blocked it. www.vox.com/health/46008...
Great guide for autistics too, including things like interpreting body language and incorporating following ups. But be careful with the first two questions, especially if you're white and speaking with a racialized person. It can come off as racist, i.e. "Where are you *really* from?"

k-12 educ -long history of embracing new shiny object that will make everything better/easier & i fear happening again & they have no idea ALL the ramifications & consequences of embracing & embedding this….from cognitive development, ability to manipulate, data mining, to environmental catastrophe

The combination of shitty AI and PragerU is going to obliterate our children's brains.
Today Ms Four started Pre-K at a NYC public school -- the only one I toured that did not have Google-enabled smart TVs in each classroom, and one where leadership opted to use money that *could* have been used on hair brained tech "solutions" to instead hire more teachers
Russia released video of themselves targeting and murdering Danish humanitarian volunteers working to remove unexploded ordnances from Ukraine. A few hours later Trump invited Putin to the FIFA world cup because “he’s been very respectful of me and of our country…”
Very cool that the broad techno-apologist effective altruist substack complex maintains that the energy consumption of AI is incredibly insignificant, while the tech overlords they're apologising for are casually dropping data centres on top of manhattan

Sen. Warren Daniel (R–NC, District 46) was caught trading stocks right on the Senate floor. Didn’t even wait for a break. Playing the market on the taxpayers’ time…pure abuse of power.

does it all fall apart without him or does it get worse ?
They are privatizing Medicare, which means they will profit off denial of coverage. Say no to the GOP or face loss of insurance.
“Healthcare workers are probably where we do start to see disproportionate effects of long COVID” Not surprising. I've seen several doctors over the past 2 yrs, including this week. Not once have any of them or their staff worn a mask, nonetheless a respirator, or used air cleaners in any spaces.
People really refuse to understand how short the distance is between these firings and the harm being done to communities

🔥🔥🔥 Summer climate warming stripes for the Contiguous U.S. through 2025. It's as if something has changed.
This was the driest August for the Northeast (U.S.) since 1957. 🌵
This is my favorite thing about this. These people release this very in the weeds book, get mad that people ask them hard questions, and then wonder why only rich assholes they are friends with like it.
The "Abundance" people think it's okay to have a speaker from the Manhattan Institute promote "deportation abundance." The conference is filled with people like this, making it clear that the "Abundance" grift sits far to the right of the median voter. It exists to move the country farther right.

Strong reporting here from ProPublica, which found that three Trump Cabinet members -- at Labor, Transportation and EPA -- call multiple homes their primary residence on mortgages. That's the same move that led Trump to fire Lisa Cook from her job at the Fed. bit.ly/466yMyI

I’m deeply worried this fall/winter will bring one of the toughest respiratory virus seasons in years. Policy missteps, weakened access to vaccines, and rampant misinformation are setting us up for packed hospitals and preventable deaths. We are priming ourselves for failure.
blood & bacteria baby bovine juice
We need an HHS Secretary who respects science and does not make policy based on conspiracy theories. Vaccines are safe and effective. Kennedy is threatening the health of our kids and all Americans. He must resign.
Also, no. The Dept of War was something entirely different — it was just the Army. There was a separate Dept of the Navy. (Also, it was never an agency.) The DoD brought together both and added the Air Force and the structure of the Joint Chiefs. This tweet is wrong in a bunch of ways that matter.
A quick bit of journalism reveals that at least three members of Trump's cabinet claimed more than one property as their primary residence, and I'm starting to wonder whether Trump's attacks on Lisa Cook reflect a sincere concern about mortgage fraud. www.propublica.org/article/trum...
seeing this a lot on bsky but is it being shared on msm? i no longer watch any of it but am hoping this gets to b widespread knowledge…
The Justice Department's acting deputy chief was caught on a hidden camera saying that the government will "redact every Republican" from an Epstein client list and "leave all the liberal, Democratic people."
👀
Watching RFK flail, stammer and stutter during the congressional hearing is proof that he’s never stood before a Morbidity and Mortality committee, never defended a PhD thesis, never been pimped on rounds. Not only does he not understand the science, he’s clueless on our culture Resign or be fired
Any Senators here? I’m a biomedical scientist with immunology, cancer, infectious disease expertise. RFK Jr lied to you in his confirmation hearings. Repeatedly. Provably. He’s lied to EVERYONE for 30+ years. Repeatedly. Provably. He WILL lie today. Repeatedly. Provably. 1/
Ossoff: He never should have been confirmed by the senate and he needs to resign. It is one thing to be a skeptic or a reformer. It is quite another to be a fool…
“Robert F. Kennedy, Sr., Vaccine Act," pharmacies will be required to offer appointments without a prescription for COVID-19 and other vaccines “based on science, regardless of what the CDC guidance states." Bye bye JFK Jr CDC spectrumlocalnews.com/nys/central-...
RFK lied to my face. He said he hadn’t fired any scientists. RFK has fired over 3,000 scientists from HHS. It’s shameful. He must resign.
I'm just a girl who has seen babies hospitalized for weeks with whooping cough, asking you to fire RFK Jr.
According to a new WSJ poll, a record-low share of Americans feel optimistic about improving their standard of living, while a record-high say the American dream no longer holds true. What really happened to the American Dream? https://robertreich.substack.com/p/what-really-happened-to-the-american

There was a time not too long ago when the media would have absolutely crucified a president in the press for not releasing the Epstein files.
Kavanaugh's statements make the problem worse, not better. If the reason SCOTUS is using cryptic shadow docket orders is because "five" of them can't "reach a consensus or a compromise on a particular issue that might be difficult," then that order should not be precedential —there's no majority.
Aaaaaand there it is. The Trump regime confirms what we all knew. Pam Bondi and the DOJ will redact all Republicans and Republican donors from the Epstein files and send Congressional Republicans only Democrats and Liberals per DOJ Deputy Chief Joseph Schnitt.
sick time, maternal leave, deductibles, all have same root cause - greed at the top- corporate rule-
Inviting an evil, racist, misogynist to speak to the cabinet is not a good look. I don’t care what playbook he knows. Don’t normalize this. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...
Remember, the judge ruled Google was an illegal monopoly precisely for doing stuff like that payola deal; now he decides Google can just... keep doing it. What's more anticompetitive than one tech giant paying another $20 billion a year to preload its product?
Breaking Google up was one of the last best hopes for preventing the free press from getting squeezed into oblivion and harvested into AI slop, and for saving the open web. The ruling that effectively lets Google continue operating as a monopoly isn't just disappointing, it's a disaster.

This is terrifying if true. A major mainstream news outlet will be run by a right-wing sycophant. Read the whole thread, please.

So let’s see if we’ve got this right… Trump, Netanyahu, and the Thiel Big Tech mafia are considering a deal called the “GREAT Trust” to carve up what remains of Palestine so they can rule over white-supremacist, religious nationalist, AI and crypto-enabled kingdoms that likely rely on slave labor.
Long COVID Hitting Doctors and Nurses Hard. David Putrino, PhD, at Mount Sinai, has treated about 3,500 people with long COVID and sees 500–700 new patients per year. He says 5–7% are healthcare workers, showing disproportionate long COVID impact in this group. Source: archive.md/8odRz
The 100 lowest-paying US corporations spent $644B on stock buybacks from 2019 to 2024. Buybacks artificially boost share prices and inflate CEO pay. The typical worker at these companies earned $35k last year. Meanwhile, the average CEO was paid $17.2M See the problem?
The CrossPolitic podcast is hosted by congregants of Christ Church—led by Christian Nationalist kingpin Doug Wilson. The podcast promotes Armored Republic, a Christian body armor company: “We create Tools of Liberty 2 Honor Christ by equipping Free Men to defend their God-given rights.” Sound on. 1/
it is genuinely wild that Trump’s top domestic policy guy is basically a monarchist who has all but written that he thinks Trump should rule as a dictator

Amid the conspiracy theories, the totality of Epstein’s crimes—and how he made his fortune—is still a disturbing mystery.
Satellites have been tracking the water held in glaciers, lakes and the world’s vast underground reserves — aquifers. A extensive analysis of that data reveals water is rapidly disappearing beneath much of humanity’s feet, and large swaths of the Earth are drying out. www.latimes.com/environment/...
There is no moral justification for today’s extraordinary concentration of wealth. It is distorting politics, rigging markets, and granting unprecedented power to a handful of people. Closing our staggering wealth gap is crucial to the survival of our economy and our democracy.
The truth can be very difficult to absorb when it comes to owning the harm one does to others, and that doesn’t make it less true.

it would b nice if former presidents- historians-etc were also being loud on msm right now about how far outside of norms & laws so much that is happening is & not in a good way
It's not normal for an American president to send troops to American cities in times of peace. Chicago, document what you see and be loud for America.

Just left the press conference with Epstein and Maxwell survivors on the steps of the U.S. Capitol. Don’t let Trump gaslight you: the corruption is real and we need full transparency and justice.

🚨HUGE!! GOP Rep. Nancy Mace just DEFIED TRUMP—signing the Massie-Khanna petition to release the FULL Epstein files after fleeing a victims’ meeting in tears. The coverup is crumbling. Survivors are SPEAKING. #BlueCrew #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles #TrumpEpsteinCoverup #PedoPresidentTrump
🚨🚨 Over 1,000 colleagues across Health and Human Services (HHS) have signed a letter demanding RFK Jr’s resignation. When your own staff lines up to say you’re bad at your job… that’s not “health freedom,” that’s just failure. #SaveHHS #DemandRFKJrResign #USAnotRFK
I see now Rubio said they were going to Trinidad and Tobago. So... not even any pretense of defending our own territorial waters against an intruder. Just a boat going from country A to country B and country C decides to blow it out of the water.
Chuck my god stop it
Opinion: Republicans, take note: Voters trust Democrats more on vaccines www.statnews.com/2025/09/03/v...
If you can track the boat on camera to slaughter everyone aboard then you can track the boat on camera to intercept the boat and arrest them
So our military just bombed a boat in international waters and extrajudicially killed suspected drug traffickers without so much as a conversation, let alone a trial? Then posted it on social media? And we’re all supposed to just trust their account?
Scott Jennings and Ben Shapiro are currently both sitting at a panel table on CNN, not OANN. Seems like a pretty good barometer of where things are in this country. 😕🇺🇸

Republicans control the Senate But with Roy Cooper in North Carolina, the emergence of @joshturek4iowa.bsky.social in Iowa and Sherrod Brown maybe returning in Ohio, the map looks a lot better If Democrats beat Susan Collins and @ossoff.bsky.social holds his seat, the balance of power will change
As vaccine hesitancy and distrust in medical science in parents and pet owners increases, there will be more tragic outcomes. In other words, more dead pets and more kids killed by rabies. I wrote about this issue a few years ago: sciencebasedmedicine.org/a-preventabl...
Vance follows a coterie of online Nazis on X, has described Curtis Yarvin as a major intellectual influence, and openly attacks immigrants in blood and soil terms. The response of most of the political press? "Doesn't look like anything to me."
Huh. No mention of the $787.5M lie fine.
If today is Department of War Day, in particular, Dems need to openly start saying that removal and charges are the only way forward. Trump didn't float this before. This is a fetish of Hegseth & changing the name amid these urban occupations sends only one message: You are subjects, not citizens.
The military strike in Caribbean is VERY worrisome. Drug smuggling is a crime, a felony punishable by up to life in prison. Not punishable by the death penalty. The heavily armed U.S. Coast Guard stops drug smuggling boats 24/7, 365. The military performed an extrajudicial execution without trial.
