This weekend, pseudoscience pushers, including Trump’s HHS report author, will be teaching doctors from around the US anti-trans pseudoscience. Now, anti trans activists say as a result of our story, 2k emails have been sent to get them to cancel. They are pointing followers to an email address.

You’re not crazy. The anti-trans movement is not organic; it was funded by pedophilic billionaires like Jeffrey Epstein who backed a network of conservatives to accuse the same people they were sexually abusing of being the real danger. @madycast.com exposes the truth in our in-depth report.

Great to hear Boston City Councilors explicitly condemning dangerous censorship legislation like #KOSA and the SCREEN ACT. The Massachusetts Congressional delegation, especially @warren.senate.gov who cosponsored KOSA, and @markey.senate.gov who voted to advance it, need to start listening.

it's not really possible anymore to "get out democracy back" or whatever, absent painful and foundational reforms. we can't govern a nation or participate in the world when every 4 years every institution and every practice can be completely upended. swinging crazily from pole to pole is not viable

As a kid, I visited my dad in the hospital before he died of pancreatic cancer. Three years ago, I held my husband’s hand as he died of pancreatic cancer. People are doing the same right now all over the country. F#ck RFK jr and the ignoramus running the NIH.

I really don't give a shit how honest somebody is or what they care about, if their ridiculous beliefs require everyone else not to offend them. Suppose a number of Christian men are offended by nude livestock on the roadside -- should they be able to mandate boxer shorts on horses or bras on cows?

Trauma does not tell its own story. Yes, people will get angry, they'll be unhappy, but they will not just automatically know who's to blame or why it happened or how to fix it. They won't magically "wake up" to that knowledge unless *someone tells them*. Events will not do dems' comms for them.

People want to think that trauma -- being fired from their job, losing medicaid, whatever -- will "force people to face reality," but that's not how people work. When people face trauma they turn to voices they trust to tell them who's doing it, and why, and what it means.

Looking at some survey data here. Trump/Elon cutting off all cancer cure research is the issue that freaks voters out more than any other, also the one they've heard the least about. Important for voters to hear more about this.

In April 1933, the German government enacted a law to "restore" the civil service. Seems like something worth reading about, something maybe possibly relevant to current events.
screenshot of text from the wikipedia article that is linked. the text describes what the 1933 german law did. two portions of text have been highlighted. the first is the phrase "dismissing certain groups of tenured civil servants." The second highlighted portion says "the law forbade jews, non-aryans, and political opponents from holding positions as teachers, professors, judges." Overall, the law was passed as a way to legally cleanse the german government of anyone who might oppose the nazis.

The price of eggs in the US is spiking, mostly due to #H5N1 bird flu. Solving the problem requires urgent, important communications from the CDC & FDA* and rapid development of research by the NIH** * Currently paused by Executive Order ** Grant reviews now all canceled www.kcur.org/news/2025-01...

Egg prices are soaring again. Here’s why and what to expect
Bird flu has killed millions of hens in recent weeks, shrinking the supply of eggs and hiking up prices at grocery stores.
