There will be a lot of equivocating about all the times search warrants have been executed on members of Congress for corruption investigations and the like, and it can't be stressed enough in how many ways HSI raiding Ilhan Omar is extremely not like that.
Dr. Jay Bhattacharya on Measles: “I Think I’ve Done My Best.”

This is quite literally what happened to one of my grandparents in 1933. You know, in case we still have folks in the “it’s not fascism if it doesn’t meet these very specific, arbitrary characteristics based on my own refusal to accept responsibility to oppose it” crowd.
Billie Jean Sweeney@billiejsweeney.bsky.social · 2d agoYou can’t get more Gestapo than this…. “a criminal probe into her immigration paperwork, which her late father filled out after the family emigrated to the U.S. from Somalia when she was a child”
and ossoff isnt an innocent in this. he's done some really stupid bipartisan stuff. but it is refreshing to hear from a democrat: this man is bad. he supports bad things. he must be stopped. this is unambigous. it should be the bog standard for the party. but they have not done it.
You better believe that everyone at the trauma center was pissed off
The City Reporter@thecityreporter.nyc · 5d agoIris Rose, a school therapist, said she saw a man bleeding on the ground in front of a car, while agents milled around, one holding a small child. “He was all full of blood,” she said. “How could you do this? What is going on? And then I’m looking at the baby.” The latest:
Maybe vocally and explicitly setting the precedent in Covid that some people should just die for the economy was not just damaging in the immediate but also medium-to-long term.

Once again, I ask why the New York Times & every other media outlet immediately & instinctively reports on the 🇩🇪 AfD as a “far right” or “extremist” party but does not regularly cover the 🇺🇸 Republican Party as such: bsky.app/profile/mcop...
Seth Cotlar@sethcotlar.bsky.social · 2w agoThe term “remigration” is associated with the extreme right and only came into widespread usage in 2023-4. Even Germany’s AfD avoided using the term in 2024 for fear of scaring away voters. Today the US government is celebrating the “victories” it’s racked up in the “ethnic cleansing” column.
The only person who is responsible for sexual assault is the person who committed it.
"The President of the United States doxxed a US Senator from his own party because he was annoyed by daylight savings time" is a factual statement that I just typed out. These are most immature, incompetent, and malevolent people in America.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · last wk.Q: Why did you post Tom Cotton's phone number? TRUMP: We want to get away from this ridiculous custom of twice a year turning clocks back... Tom Cotton is holding it up. You know who wants it? Farmers. Sports wants it. They would like to play tennis at night, would like to play golf a little bit
Because it's a vaccine. And he hates them, for reasons known only to brainworms
The collapse of our institutions in the face of fascism is really something to behold. Here, the American College of Surgeons, the largest professional organization for surgeons in the country, platformed Trump’s ousted FDA chief Marty Makary, letting him riff about the challenges facing healthcare
Former FDA Commissioner Martin Makary Examines Four Challenges Facing Healthcare
Former FDA Commissioner Martin Makary, MD, MPH, FACS, examines four challenges facing healthcare and opportunities to address them.

Makary and all of his fringe allies who willingly and excitedly went to work for an anti-vax conspiracy theorist while he dismantled America’s public health ought to be drummed out of academia and professional life forever. You should not get to come back from that.
How did we get the stupid President twice? That's more stupid than we know how to handle

A familiar story for anyone who follows @volts.wtf. “The Chronicle spoke to more than half a dozen grid experts…to try to understand why Texas’s notoriously unreliable grid had a remarkably reliable summer. The answer was unanimous: solar panels and batteries.”
Texas shattered energy demand records this summer. Here's why the grid held up.
Texas repeatedly broke electricity demand records this summer, but ERCOT avoided emergencies as booming solar and battery capacity helped keep the grid stable.

Started my day with a bang: yelling “ABORTION IS HEALTHCARE” at anti-choice protestors blocking the sidewalk outside my hospital. Since it’s currently the “40 Days for Life” campaign, it will be “40 days of me yelling at anti-choice protestors” until they get a life and go home.
I can't even imagine how much good could have been done had AI companies read the books they were shredding instead of destroying them
We have M. Gessen coming to speak at Duke next week, & then Fran Lebowitz the week after Mitt Romney spoke last night; it’s hard to believe that a Republican delivered universal health coverage—Romneycare—to the state he governed as these days Republicans scream that UHC is “dirty socialism!¡!”

I was taught-and saw-how hard melanoma was to treat, like a death sentence Since then, new treatments have made it possible for people w/ the most advanced melanoma, like Jimmy Carter, to live to 100!
