The Guardian are reporting a significant increase in Jewish people voting for the Green Party.

It's almost like many of us grew up learning a history of persecution & violence.

We don't oppose the Genocide in spite of being Jewish but because of it.

Never again for everyone.

This is completely disgusting. Today, the CDC updated their vaccine safety page. It now says:

“The claim "vaccines do not cause autism" is not an evidence-based claim because studies have not ruled out the possibility that infant vaccines cause autism”.

Five corporations control 90% of the US media market.

Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today.

Four giants control 80% of meat processing.

A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry.

The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.

There are mass layoffs and the cost of coffee went up 41%. People are being told to go back to the office four or five days a week, which means increased costs for commuting, lunches, clothes, hair, makeup and childcare again.
Q: Would a $2,000 tariff dividend check going to people be inflationary?

Bessent: Maybe we could persuade Americans to save that.

Congrats on the new job! Can't wait to see what you accomplish.

My parents watch our youngest once a week, so we only have to pay for 4 days a week of daycare. It's $502/week for those 4 days (still, a massive savings over when we had 2 in daycare at $909/week)! Some people are really out of touch.

The problem though is that our recent experience with Covid19 suggests that increased pain and suffering appears to convert more voters to reactionary right wing voters, and even appears to activate non-voters to join the reactionary populist neofascist movement. 2/🧵

Pro-Trump counties now have far higher COVID death rates. Misinformation is to blame
An analysis by NPR shows that since the vaccine rollout, counties that voted heavily for Donald Trump have had more than twice the COVID mortality rates of those that voted for Joe Biden.

This thread on Christian nationalism highlights the work of journalists like @katherinestewart.bsky.social and @jeffsharlet.bsky.social who tried to warn us.

There's a school of thought which suggests that the only way to disable the fascist movement is to stop shielding MAGA voters from the consequences of their actions.

Well, now that the GOP administration is disabling disease surveillance, response, and even basic research, there's no shield. 1/ 🧵
We appear to be seeing an uptick of devastating flu-associated Acute Necrotizing Encephalitis in children this season. We've had reports here in No. Cal. Others out of Boston. We're piecemealing things together because there's no active surveillance for ANE, and CDC can't communicate with partners.

People always overlook this. Just because they're a victim doesn't mean they're not also a bad person. Racism has always, and will always be #1 in America and for the Republican party.

Watching the Epstein survivor admit that she voted for Trump really fucked with my head. The brainwashing against the left that apparently people endure from birth, must be way deeper than I ever imagined. A victim voting for a rapist, who has also been accused by 26 other women? Over a woman? WTAF?

I will never forget having to edit Jamal’s final, posthumous piece for the Washington Post, after he was murdered.

He was calling for free expression in the Arab world. You can read it here :

Self promo is my bane; it makes me feel like an immense tit when I post stuff about my writing (thanks to upbringing - never blow your own horn), but it is increasingly apparent that all it means is that I'm utterly invisible as a writer...

So, anyway.

I have books and stories out there.
