Literally the Republicans are keeping government closed because they are that against making healthcare affordable. That’s jacked up

You know it’s bad when the Dept of Labor says immigration raids are “threatening the stability of domestic food production and prices for US consumers.”

I’m so old I remember waking up on Sunday mornings not worried about martial law.

To the rude man on the train today who accused me of taking up too much room with my folded #wheelchair ♿️ … I am not the problem.
I did not design the #train.
Educating service providers and the general public on accessibility and inclusion has a long way to go.

They also had tactical gear, bear spray, weapons and communications equipment. I've never seen any of these at our rallies.

A nationwide backlash to AI data centers is brewing.

And for good reason: while AI enriches Big Tech CEOs and props up the stock market, data centers are sucking up communities’ water and power.

When the AI bubble bursts, the rest of us will be stuck holding the bag. Be warned.

Swedish Scientist Judith Bruchfeld has made a statement saying that any COVID infection can lead to between 9-12 months of immune dysregulation. This opens everyone up to both ‘bacterial and fungal infections’. I’m afraid I only have a link to x here for this but see research below. 🧵

Willful obstruction of congress is a violation of US Code....

It didn't exactly take a Nostradamus to see the problem, but still, rarely do you see somebody like a governor insisting "no, this is dangerous and stupid" and taking appropriate action, and then be so immediately vindicated when it turns out yeah, actually we did rain shrapnel on that freeway.

Making people with ADHD see a psychiatrist every 90 days (and then go, in person, to the pharmacy every 30 days) to get their brain juice is a waste of the clinician’s time and limited resources, and a particularly egregious burden on ADHDers.

Do you have any extremely niche, but serious, ethical stances?

A driver intentionally drove their car up on the curb to hit a protester in Ohio yesterday.

This is the protester’s reaction, broken leg and all.

You may break our bones, but you will not break our spirit.

China's regulators are doing this because there have been multiple cases where Tesla's have gotten into an accident and rescue workers / owners have been unable to open the doors.

Proposed regulations in China would mean the end of flush handles on car doors, with precious little time to roll out the changes.
