“President Trump’s statement to the UN clearly constitutes an implied threat to use overwhelming nuclear force against Iran and the Iranian people broadly. This would be a nuclear genocide. Any threat to use nuclear weapons is unacceptable, and his decision to do so should be strongly condemned..."

President Trump’s Implied Threat of Nuclear Annihilation Increases Global Risks of Nuclear Proliferation
President Trump’s threats to annihilate Iran with nuclear weapons are dangerous, making it likelier that other countries seek nuclear weapons for protection.

Lost in the ongoing Trumpapalooza is the excellent news that a malaria vaccination developed at Oxford Univ. over the last 30 years and costing only £3 per shot is being unrolled in malaria-prone countries. If it fulfills its promise, this will make an enormous difference to so many lives.

James Talarico @jamestalarico.bsky.social is simply 1 of the greatest, most inspirational candidates to emerge in years, running against Ken Paxton, one of the most disgracefully corrupt politicians of all-time. So the Texas GOP responds by doing what comes naturally to them, of course: CHEATING! 🤮

4 years since the dreadful Supreme Court Dobbs decision turned back the clock 50 years and eroded reproductive freedom and women’s rights. Texans are dying from pregnancy complications and struggling to access basic health care. Restoring abortion rights must be a top priority in a new Congress.

This means absolutely NOTHING because Israel will continue to bomb Lebanon & genociding Palestinians. Sadly, Israel controls the U.S., not the other way around. We give them our money, and they tell us to fuck off when we try to get them to do what is in the best interest of the United States.

Malaria is still a major concern: since 2015, malaria incidence has risen by 8.5%, reaching 64 cases per 1,000 people at risk. This trend means the world is moving further away from reaching the 2030 target for malaria reduction. World Health Statistics Report 2026🔗 bit.ly/4fiNpVV
Malaria is moving backwards. Since 2015, incidence has increased by 8.5%.

Since the most recent “ceasefire” in Gaza, the Israeli military has used and moved a lethal “yellow” line in Gaza — yellow concrete blocks placed along the boundary it claims — to steal land and kill any Palestinian who crosses it. Now, it’s using the same tactic in Lebanon.

This is a big win. The Trump Admin has reversed Noem’s crazy policy that delayed search and rescue in Texas by 72 hours. I’ll keep fighting for the independent investigation I’ve demanded into this failed policy. And we’ll keep fighting to fully restore FEMA.
