I worked for New York’s largest medical center at the start of the pandemic. There were morgue trucks on the streets. They set up emergency medical tents in Central Park. Healthcare worker colleagues died. It is horrific that RFK Jr is on national TV lying that ICUs were empty.
42 years ago this month, Susan Ryan's Sex Discrimination Act came into effect. This is what nation-changing Labor reforms look like.
Good morning ONLY to folks who took COVID and our nation's health seriously...Looking at you Dr. Fauci. 🩺
7 mo into Covid-19 after grueling 24hr caring for child with the disease, who survived. Showered at hosp, returned to office & informed staff, wasn't retiring the next mo, as had planned. Photo of that moment. This is my "diary". Nobody can change the reality of pandemic for those who lived it...
Herman Cain's last post before he died of ... wait for it ... COVID! The GOP is rewriting history. Covid tore through the world like a killing machine. 1.2 million Americans died. Stop pretending Dr. Fauci did anything other than his best to keep people alive. And release the Epstein Files!
Jeanne Gibson, beloved “Rosie the Riveter,” passed away on July 29, 2026 at 100. Gibson became a welder at Todd Pacific Shipyards in Seattle, helping build destroyers for the Allied war effort during WWII. Gibson helped pave the way for millions of women who stepped into critical wartime roles.
In Barcelona, hundreds of people remembered Hind Rajab by carrying her giant portrait. The six-year-old girl who asked for help over the phone while the Israeli army surrounded her. She was killed along with her family and the paramedics who tried to rescue her. Months later, her face remains
Ronald Reagan ignored the AIDS crisis—and his “dear friend” from Hollywood, Rock Hudson, who asked for help. Dr. Fauci jumped in and helped. Guess which guy the homophobic ghouls in the Republican Party revere today.
I stood still in my garden for over an hour today photographing Eastern Spinebills in our cherry tree. #birds
Seems That Mayor Mamdani Has "Delivered" To New Yorkers Quite Well,So Far.......(NPR)
If only Republicans thought like this! Maybe they would do something for the majority of us and not just for the wealthy! #RepublicansCutHealthcare
Sally McManus & Michele O'Neil leave a powerful legacy. I've long admired their shared, steadfast commitment to collective solidarity & their principled leadership alongside each other. They've led with conviction & set the stage for the next generation of strong union leaders.
U.S. has worse wealth distribution than pre-revolutionary France did.
I’m hard pressed to come up with any single thing that has been studied as much as vaccines & autism (vaxx safety in general), or as debunked as a link between vaccines & autism. But even more striking is how these people clearly think autism is worse than your child getting a disease or even dying
Alicia Ault@aliciaault.bsky.social · 2w agoCDC has updated its vaccine safety pages. 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." Whoa #EpiSky #pediatrics #NeuroSky #PsychSky
Huge corporations like Amazon, Walmart, and Uber are among the top employers of SNAP and Medicaid recipients. Meanwhile, their CEOs are raking in multi-million dollar pay packages. How is this not a bigger scandal?
the thing is, we HAVE ruled out the possibility that infant vaccines cause autism. so it's just plain wrong. that's how strong the evidence base is.
Waldo Jaquith@waldo.net · 2w agoThe claim “RFK Jr. does not fuck chickens” is not an evidence-based claim because studies have not ruled out the possibility that RFK Jr. fucks chickens.
