⚠️ CDC quietly updated its webpage to caution pregnant people about acetaminophen (Tylenol).

Sneaky changes driven by politics instead of science erode public trust and put lives at risk.

As scientists who once shaped CDC's webpages, this is heartbreaking. 💔

Anyone who is now anti-fascist is classed as a terrorist against the US.

And no, this is not satire!

i have to say, as a trans journalist who has covered the "trans debate" for about a decade now, there is no daylight between how the trump administration and conservatives lie about tylenol and autism and how they've lied about youth trans care.

RACISM in Kyiv, on Khreschatyk Street. This woman called me a nigger repeatedly and told me to go back to Africa because this country is for Ukrainians—not niggers.

When I turned on the camera, she turned into a Karen.

Thing is, she’s not even Ukrainian. Prolly American. In fact, almost certain.

The evolution of Trump's policy since Feb: first, he thought it'd be easy to get the Nobel-- freeze the frontline, give Ru all occupied territories, leave rump Ukraine without security guarantees; Ru would agree to this super reasonable offer so it can stop bleeding and get sanctions lifted. But...

Russia is attempting to use the same tactic in Poland as it used before its full-scale invasion into #Ukraine: it tests the reaction of the West (not just the EU, but the United States first and foremost).

The more Russia is allowed to get away with, the more brazen the next "test" will be.

Once the occupied territories are liberated, I think we'll see Derussification occur much faster than decommunization did

Think about why russians prioritize doing such things. Think about why they erase everything related to Ukrainian culture and language.

Lets break it down for her like this, because TERFs are apparently a bit slow on working this out

Linehan assaulted and threatened a trans child and called for mass violence against us. I'm glad he was arrested

I don't think any old TERF with bs opinions should be arrested

See how easy that is?

Helen, mate, Linehan has a well documented history of attacking trans people. He’s currently on trial for physical assault of a teenager.
Meanwhile scores of people have been arrested for protesting a genocide yet you pitched and wrote an article defending Linehan’s speech.

Admittedly, this is not my most lofty moment but, honestly, arguing for free speech is literally the most thankless thing you can do. Yes I agree with it even when people are saying things I don't agree with! That's the point! (Helen is quoting her own post which reads:)
Helen Lewis @helenlewis.bsky.social • 3h
Now we've established that I'm not a hypocrite, might we hear your views on the illiberal nature of Linehan arrest? Or do you only care about one but not the other... which is exactly what you accused me of?

The left should be particularly worried about the police having broad licence to arrest people who annoy them, or whose opinions powerful people/lobby groups disapprove of --that describes many of the positions held by the left. Holders of minority opinions should be the keenest on free speech.

Who is this cute mouse girl? It's me!

This will obviously be rejected by Ukraine but it is a moral abomination that it was ever proposed

"Russia and the United States have discussed Israel’s occupation of the West Bank as a model for ending the war in Ukraine"

“Ukraine will never give up its sovereignty. But the reality is it’ll be occupied territory and the model is Palestine.”

An abomination.

Some of those events were former soviet republicans seeing how russia acted, was acting, likely to act, and then pleadings to be let into nato

maybe i should have just said "materialism" or "historical materialism" sorry, but yes events preceed other events and are quite often influenced by those previous events

⚡️ EU to prepare 19th sanctions package as Russia continues to reject ceasefire, Kallas says.

"As far as Russia has not agreed to a full and unconditional ceasefire, we should not even discuss any concessions," Kaja Kallas said.

Age-appropriate sex education is critical for young people’s health.

Evidence shows that young people are more likely to delay having sex, and if they do have sex, practice safer sex, when they are better informed about sexual health and their rights 👉 bit.ly/3MWpPyO #YouthDay
