Thank you so much Mr. Hastings!

The US is abundantly wealthy. EVERY person here could have health care, a roof, food, & a way to contribute that fits their capacities. The #GOP are making sure the rich get richer & the poor get poorer. Then they blame the poor for not praying hard enough - while they protect child rapists.
Countries on track to eliminate cervical cancer: -Australia by 2028 -Sweden by 2027 -Rwanda by 2030 -UK by 2040 -Indonesia by 2030 -Bhutan 2030 -El Salvador by 2030 -Canada by 2040 How? HPV vaccine. Same one RFK Jr is trying to ban. You will note USA is not on this list.

The best gift you can give yourself... is self care. Do it now. You deserve it.

BREAKING: Bernie Sanders wants RFK Jr. under oath. Heโs demanding a special Senate hearing on the CDC disaster RFK Jr. helped create. Go Bernie!
Good to see a bipartisan group of former CDC Directors raise alarms in the NY Times about RFK Jr. dismantling US public health. And I canโt help but feel frustrated that they didnโt do this last year when public health was on the ballotโnor did NYT frame it that wayโwhen we had a chance to stop it.
Migrants to Australia have displayed an inability to assimilate with local values and refuse to speak anything but their native tongue, a study covering the last 237 years has found.

Signs should go up nationwide to mark the site of every terroristic act of masked agents who assault/deny rights/kidnap/disappear adults & children to concentration camps here/abroad. Maybe the signs will open eyes to the tragedy & injustice of the Felon's evil retribution campaign. #RESIST
Affording Ashli Babbit military honors would be like honoring the pilots from 9/11.

So last night I decided to try a piece of banana bread my wife made. I immediately felt bad because I found it incredibly dry and quite bland; I didn't have the heart to tell her. Today I learned what I'd eaten was a regular piece of bread she put on top to keep everything fresh. I'm an idiot.
โin six months sec. kennedy has undermined 60 years of vaccine preventable diseases in this country.โ dr. tom frieden frmr dir of CDC let that sink in-the damage this regime has inflicted on us.
ABC News is still calling RFK Jr. a โvaccine skeptic.โ The dude was one of the most prominent anti-vaccine activists for decades. Thereโs video of him in 2023 saying that thereโs no vaccine which is safe and effective. You can call him an anti-vaccine activist!
Find a protest near you & bring friends.
Thou shalt not end vaccines. God will not save you from plague. The Middle Ages shouldโve made that very clear.

"If we want to protect children, we should be fighting for privacy laws, protecting encryption, and learning from Bluesky's model, where they allow third party algorithmic feeds and moderation tools."
This part. A whole bunch of scientists argued with me last year that "science is not political!" I was not able to convince them that it is very political. Now between DOGE and RFK and anti-woke paper rules preventing them from using the words "bias" and "inclusion" in papers, they almost get it.

If all the documents were released, all the records, all the interviews, if every shred of paper written on the Epstein sex trafficking operation were released tomorrow, there would still be horrific things weโll never know. Think about that.
Just 1 wk after announcing the end of its long-standing shoes-off rule at airport checkpoints, the TSA may be getting ready to ditch another major traveler headache: the liquids restriction.

The way that housing co-ops work in Switzerland may seem foreign to many. But the central idea is simple: What if homeownership had no profit motive and no capital gains? Advocates say their model could reshape how the world thinks about affordable housing. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/26/r...

New Mexico has issued a public health order that removes federal restrictions to COVID-19 vaccine access so that pharmacies in New Mexico can vaccinate people of all ages and risk profiles. Every state need to do this!

Medicare for all, paid leave, universal childcare. Busting up big corporations and tackling Wall Streetโs greed. Getting big money out of politics. Supporting unions and fighting for higher wages. If Dems want to win back working people, this is the agenda they must support.
THIS! Is the plain spoken truth telling I was posting about the other day here, the sort that everyone from White House press corps reporters to the person on the street needs to see, here and say. Quite an excellent op-ed. Coudn't have written it better myself! @velshimsnbc.bsky.social

California lawmakers reach an agreement with Uber and Lyft that will open the door for app-based drivers to form unions. This is a victory for organized labor that could lay the groundwork for similar efforts in other states.
