What Adam said. 👇🏽

My son just had surgery, and for the first time ever, we had to depend on a GFM for his medical care.
Because Mike Johnson, Trump and maga MOC hate America and her citizens.
This is untenable and no way to live.

Hamas leadership just announced they killed 27 people in broad daylight because—wait, my mistake.

Trump announces he's drone killed 27 Venezuelans on boats, claiming without evidence that they were "narcoterrorists," & refusing to answer what gives him authority.

He WILL deploy this on US citizens

NEW: Pentagon officials are forcing staff to watch Pete Hegseth's "Warrior" speech he forced generals to listen to.

Officials are even "testing" staff to see if they watched — and are threatening consequences if they lie about watching it or if they mock it, sources tell @swin24.bsky.social and I.

The Pentagon Is Ordering Staff to Watch Hegseth’s ‘MAGA Garbage’ Speech… Or Else

Defense Department sources tell Zeteo that staff have been warned that if they don’t watch or read the speech, or if they speak negatively of it, they could face severe consequences.

A new report of crime data shows that ICE impersonation cases have reached record highs in 2025—more than the number of such cases in the last 4 Presidential admins COMBINED.

Democratic Governors need to order their State police to arrest alleged ICE fascists who conceal their identities. Period.

The more GOP officials and right-wing hacks try to spin and pivot from their Young Republican leaders praising Hitler and racism and gas chambers for their enemies, the more it puts the story in the spotlight.

Keep at it!

My favorite Struzan story is that he was doing the poster for Indy at Disneyland, but they didn't have the rights to Ford's likeness. Fed up with working around the problem, Struzan just called Ford and was like, "hey, can I use your face for this," and Ford said, "if it's for you, absolutely."

I'm lucky I live in a county with a health & human services agency that still monitors like the old federal HHS agencies did.

But what the f**k are counties without such local resources going to do?

NHANES identified pediatric lead exposure in the ‘70s, considered one of the most significant health interventions ever.

NHANES also gave us pediatric growth charts and nutritional fortification to prevent harmful deficiencies like iodine & folate, to name a few.

NHANES runs mobile clinics that travel the country measuring height, weight, & blood pressure while collecting blood and urine samples. These samples are our only national source for tracking everything from blood sugar to hormones, heavy metals, and more.

The entire operation has been eliminated.

Kevin C Klatt, PhD, RD @kcklatt.bsky.social · 15h

Everyone across biomedicine should be very loud about this so this team's RIF status gets reversed. Nhanes has been key for tracking obesity & diabetes rates, identifying high blood lead levels in kids in the 70s, tracking progress on cholesterol lowering, guiding nutrient fortification programs etc

The hope is that they can force H5N1 down people's throats before anyone has a chance to respond in time. Since the medical & scientific consensus rejected the useless online petition that is the Great Barrington Declaration, the wealthy are forcing us on it as a disciplinary measure.
