Dems backed Trump into a corner where he’s advocating for starving Americans and hemorrhaging support. If they vote to let him off the hook in exchange for nothing it’s a cataclysmic failure. I know people are in pain but insulating Republicans from political consequences is not the answer.

I'm hearing the same thing. Dems are nearing a surrender. I'm shocked. Largest protest in history + best election night in years + polling showing we're kicking their ass in public opinion. And now Dems may cave. It ain't over til it's over, so please do call if you've got a Dem senator.

"Many of the people who are developing the next generation of cancer diagnostics and treatments are being run out of the country, the funding pipeline for research and trials is being strangled, and the institutions that provide access to existing treatments are being pummeled."

The Trump Administration Is Objectively Pro-Cancer

America used to have the best medical research system in the world. Elon Musk and RFK Jr. are ripping it to shreds.

Sonoma County turned out for Hands Off! Over 5,000 in Santa Rosa alone, a massive number of people and amazing energy for a small semi-rural county! These were my signs

A sign that says get your nazi sales and tiny hand off our democracy

A sign that says the Great Depression was not actually great you MAGA idiots with a drawing of the stock market crash in red ink

90% of people diagnosed with pancreatic cancer die from the disease. That's why the medical community is excited about the results of a small trial in which nearly half of the pancreatic cancer patients who received an mRNA vaccine for the disease remained relapse-free three years later.

The New York Times is the first to put out comprehensive estimates on the cost of a year without U.S.A.I.D. and they’re higher than I thought: - 1.65 million deaths from AIDS - 500,000 from lack of vaccines - 550,000 from lack of food aid - 290,000 from malaria - 310,000 from TB

penned this letter to my governor, Gavin Newsom, who seems fine with screwing over trans people out of his desperation to be liked by awful people www.sfchronicle.com/opinion/sole...

Dear Gavin: The right will never love you, so stop messing with trans people

The California governor’s capitulation to the right on a recent podcast appearance was desperate and embarrassing.

I’m a cancer survivor and I lost my younger sister to cancer in 2023. I’m livid about a lot of things right now, but this hit me pretty hard. Trump and his corrupt fascist regime may be billionaires but they are morally bankrupt.

Took time off here for a while but I’ve still been making pasta every week. This Sunday supper based on the foraged greens tortelli with pesto from Cucina Povera. Filling of baby kale, savoy cabbage & chard from the farmers’ market + borage leaves from my garden, with pesto frozen from last harvest

Is there a PastaSky? I’ve been looking. Ma non c’è niente! How does one go about creating a feed? The BreadSky and Gardening feeds are great but I would love one with/for/by pasta nerds too

I missed posting week 15 pasta but know that I made THREE different batches of ravioli. I also made a sourdough starter and baked my first loaf this morning with Scott’s moral support. Sourdough is way more stressful than pasta, how do you do it?! But I’ll keep at it, sourdough will not defeat me

I’ve always had a ~thing~ for Italy, studied Italian in college, traveled to Italy twice in my 20s, visited family. In June, we spent 15 days there and it was perfect! Been trying to hold on to that magic since. So for the past 12 weeks I’ve made fresh pasta for Sunday Supper. Today marks week 13
