I wish more journalists would point out that Sen. McConnell and Rep. Tom Kean (missed 4 months of work) are/were essentially on paid sick & medical leave. The same employment protection they’ve spent their careers blocking other Americans from having.

When people talk about taking kids' devices away w/o addressing how they have fuck all else to do, I think about the insane shit all the bored suburban kids I knew got up to before cell phones You can't just take their phones away or they're gonna get into making homemade napalm & burn a field down

The ideology in question is opposing fascism. This horrific action is a shot across the bow at all of us—everyone who cares about their neighbors, who dares to dream of a better world, who opposes ICE terror and authoritarian repression. We cannot allow the state to disappear them.

Sex work is valid work. Sex workers deserve to be paid a living wage and to have safe working conditions, just like any other worker. Yes, I represent sex workers. And yes, I'm happy to do it.

They brutalized this man three blocks from our place, just two blocks from South High before the start of the school day. They left his hat on the ground and the smashed up car on the street. My neighbors are trying to locate his people and get his car towed somewhere safe. ICE is still here.

Lots of people have warned that the US right-wing is trying every tool at their disposal to restrict bodily autonomy, including bringing back the Comstock Act. Well here is exactly such an attempt, from the SCOTUS bench. And please remember/realise that shit like KOSA is just Comstock in digital.

Everyone please appreciate the heroic scientific struggle to talk about the cloaca with the public, which is not a “butt” “butthole” or “anus” by any reasonable definition—but also that’s the best broadly comprehensible descriptor. Hence: manta butts. 🤷‍♀️

Obama and other liberals keep saying that they want a "strong GOP". Well, this is what it looks like: a brazen and gleeful rejection of Black people having anything worth respecting or defending and alignment with an openly white nationalist agenda that holds nonwhiteness in contempt.

When you consider that Paul Skenes has thrown 5,568 career pitches, all to major league hitters, and allowed a homer (23) on .004% of those, any Tom, Dick, or Harry saying anything other than "give me the $50,000" is absolutely delusional.

Well, they've finally struck home. #ICE has detained my former #umich student, Yousif Azizi, a PhD student in public policy at Virginia Tech w/a valid visa. He was arrested while taking his children to school in Maryland. After multiple transfers, he is in a detention center in Arizona.

The Governor has mandated all state workers be in office 4 days a week starting July 1. The unions including the union for state scientist are fighting hard, but just as a heads up, working conditions may be different than stated in the job ad by the time the job starts.

With a final tally of 213-214, the war powers resolution to disengage US forces from the war on Iran failed by a single vote. Representative Jared Golden of Maine was the sole Democratic lawmaker to vote against the measure. Had he voted for it, it would have passed, handing Trump an historic loss.

If your hospital closes and the next closest is only 6 miles farther, your risk of dying just went up by 1% regardless of what conditions you do or don’t have & regardless of anything about you or choices you make. Now imagine how bad 33 miles is. I want my taxes to lower everyone’s risk of dying.

It’s hard to really explain how much hospital distances affect whether people live or die but a 10 km (~6 mi) increase in distance to the hospital increases the death rate for *everyone* in the community by ~1%, and as high as +10% per 10 km for certain conditions, and gets worse the farther it is

Great thread on how ICE is effectively outsourcing their mass deportation mission to local police, leveraging the already significant funding they receive and the impunity with which they operate in communities.
