12 former @fda.gov commissioners from both parties just went on the record in @nejm.org calling Vinay Prasad’s vaccine framework a threat to public health. They bring more than 3 decades of leadership at the agency, and it is hard to think of a more forceful warning. 🧵

@tizzyent.bsky.social will you please do your thing? Someone knows this SOB.
MAGA man begging on street destroys family's flower stand—for speaking Spanish in "his country."

When police show up they racially profile victims—aggressively questioning them, "Why do you think it's OK to have your kid here?

"Get a job!... She's out here working selling flowers."

The bill last numbered H.R. 9495 would empower the Treasury Secretary to designate any nonprofit the Secretary wishes to kill a “terrorist supporting organization” and revoke the tax-exempt status on which it depends for survival. Unconstitutional but lethal in the harm it would do while in force.

@kenmartin.bsky.social read the original post and the replies. Every. Single. One. You don't have what it takes.
I think it should be a mandatory job requirement that the chair of the DNC be social media savvy with a strong presence on camera.

Ken Martin doesn’t have those skills and doesn’t seem to want to invest in fixing that.

EVERY special election should be all over social media. It is a massive

The Coast Guard got into its mess over swastikas and nooses because of an imperative to align its policies with directives from Hegseth and the Trump Administration.

The real issue here is Hegseth and the running room he has created for hate, racism, sexism, and antisemitism in the military.

“ABC11 spoke with Lori Lober, a study participant. Initially, she was given a grim prognosis, with median survival rate of less than 2 to 3% for five years. However, the trial at Duke Health gave her new hope. She has remained disease-free for 24 years.”

ICE/CPB thugs tackled a nonverbal autistic man outside a Family Dollar in Chicago’s Little Village claiming he was “noncompliant.”

Witnesses begged them to stop. “Why they beating up this special boy?” one worker cried. “He comes in every day for a treat. He has the mind of a child.” 🤬🤬🤬

If you have a grade schooler, maybe throw a couple of extra snacks in their lunchbox this week to give to the teacher, who will know which kids need them.
Do you have gift cards you haven't used that can be used to buy groceries?

Grocery stores, WalMart, Target, Amazon (can order to pick up at Whole Foods), warehouse clubs

This is a good time to call the social worker at your local school and see if families have need.
