People seem to not understand that the Trump admin doesn't care if they reduce the number of nurses via making school unaffordable and further exasperate the dysfunction in our medical system. These people know they will always have access to healthcare, they just dont care if you do.

The Dept. of Education is making nursing degrees HARDER to afford, in the middle of a nursing shortage. That’s not reform, that’s reckless. Nurses keep our hospitals running, save our families, and hold our healthcare system together. They deserve MORE support, not less.

Restricting loans specifically for students training to be nurses, teachers, and therapists in an attempt to keep women out of the workforce is PEAK STUPIDITY.

BREAKING: 30 more Starbucks locations are joining the strike. Starbucks workers in 25 cities are jumping into the week-long strike. Now @sbworkersunited.org members at 95 stores in 65 cities have walked off the job.

'I went to Thailand 10 months after equal marriage ruling - here's what I saw'

With its many LGBTQ+ bars, cabaret shows and inclusive hotels, it’s hard to believe Thailand legalised same-sex marriage just 10 months ago.

🧪 A an angry reminder that 1. There is no causal link between vaccines & autism 2. Autism has a strong genetic component, involving ~500 genes 3. Tylenol is not linked to autism 4. RFQuack failed to get a journal to retract a large Danish study that showed no link btwn aluminum & autism

VACCINES DO NOT CAUSE AUTISM, YOU FLAMING SHITBIRDS. THE LAST TIME HHS, AS CURRENTLY OCCUPIED BY RFK JR., CONDUCTED A “COMPREHENSIVE ASSESSMENT” OF THE CAUSES OF AUTISM THEY BLAMED TYLENOL AND THEN, BECAUSE IT WAS BULLSHIT, HAD TO WALK IT BACK.

How awful. This is outright health disinformation, lying to the American people. Not only is there massive evidence showing no link between vaccines & autism, there’s not even a plausible mechanism based on what we’ve learned about the genetics of autism, some environmental exposures in pregnancy

Sheryl Gay Stolberg@sherylnyt.bsky.social · 10mo ago

HEADS UP: CDC website now officially asserts that vaccines may cause autism.“Studies supporting a link have been ignored by health authorities.” Also says the “vaccines do not cause autism” header remains b/c of an agreement with Cassidy.

Every reporter covering this story needs to make something very, very, explicitly clear: VACCINES DO NOT CAUSE AUTISM. VACCINES DO NOT CAUSE AUTISM. VACCINES DO NOT CAUSE AUTISM. VACCINES DO NOT CAUSE AUTISM. VACCINES DO NOT CAUSE AUTISM. VACCINES DO NOT CAUSE AUTISM. VACCINES DO NOT CAUSE AUTISM.

Hi! I'm one of the millions not getting SNAP benefits this month. Because of that + the fact that I (not a member of SAG-AFTRA) survived the strike by burning my savings rather than working SL6 or NU…my finances are *rough* but not *immediately dire.* I'm open to work with clients of all sizes. ✌🏻

This is meant to stop stores from charging more not less. This is such a perversion of what this rule is meant to do.

Catherine Rampell@crampell.bsky.social · 10mo ago

The USDA sent an email to grocery stores telling them they are prohibited from offering special discounts to customers affected by the SNAP funding lapse. I'm aware of at least 2 stores that had offered struggling customers a discount, then withdrew it after receiving this email

they’re intenionally advertising to and recruiting far right loyalists. they post and reply to explicit groyper memes. they’re not super subtle about what this government is

One thing that comes through awfully clearly in these ICE videos is how many of these goons gravitated toward the job because being able to assault people with impunity is a big thrill for them.

"If that is what ICE's operations entail, they should not be an agency in the United States." Yes, this! ICE didn't exist until 2003; we can do without them again.

Being avowedly transphobic truly marks someone as being stupid and unimaginative, no matter what else they try to dress it up as. No integrity, no curiosity, no "wow I have so much to learn," just... nothing. Boring, untidy, cowardly, delusional thinking. It's amazing that so many air it so openly.

"Sorry, there's just no money for new projects" "we have to lay off hundreds of people to cut costs" "that show/game/studio has been canceled and closed due to lack of profits"

If you have two minutes free right now, call Netflix and leave a comment in support of this programming and ask them to stand up for their shows against political pressure. Phone number is 1-866-952-4456, and I waited less than a minute before a human picked up.

1. Led by Elon Musk, the far-right has exploded in a campaign to get Netflix to remove shows with queer and trans characters. If Netflix capitulates to their demands, an already strained market for LGBTQ+ animators might become even more dire. Subscribe to support our journalism.
