Removing a monument honoring Black US soldiers has nothing to do with DEI. It’s erasure of history and it’s straight-up racism.

Why is Trump going after America's air traffic controllers, today of all days?

It's one more way to distract from his decision to increase your health insurance premiums."

The soft pedaling language being used to describe the men in the Epstein files is enraging.

They didn’t “have sex with underage girls”.

They raped them.

Sex implies consent.

The survivors deserve better than this. Use the correct language. Say what these men did.

Your biggest flex (male or female) is to leave when you see that first red flag. Don't sit and analyze it. If it doesn't sit well with you, get your ass away from that person.

The AI industry doesn’t want you to know that massive job displacement is coming. They don’t want government to do anything to slow it or protect workers from it because AI leaders are planning to become trillionaires (not kidding) by destroying your jobs.

Preventing COVID-19 in pregnancy is really important. But the latest study about it has been simplified into headlines about autism, and that depiction misses important aspects, explains @ejwillingham.bsky.social on Thinking Person's Guide to Autism. buttondown.com/TPGA/archive...
Autism and Covid infection during pregnancy: Guess what??
The risks of Covid infection in pregnancy unrelated to autism are sufficient to reinforce public health measures and messaging to prevent Covid infection during pregnancy – including vaccination.

If you do one thing today, read and share this link. It is the tech oligarchs’ plan to take over the government and build a post-democratic America, proven to be well underway.

To understand the tech bros, we must think like them—they view our democracy as an outdated system that must be replaced:

The threats were made last month, as the U.S. maneuvered to block a new effort to tax pollution at a meeting of the International Maritime Organization in London.

National delegates were threatened with personal consequences if they went against Washington.

Walmart, McDonalds and Amazon are the largest employers of people who require SNAP assistance.

The CEOs earned between 18-40 million last year, 1000x their median employee income.

They took billions in profits, while their workers relied on SNAP to survive.

Wanna fix fraud and abuse?

Fix that.
