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.

The former Pittsburgh Post-Gazette workers who went on strike for 3+ years, only to have the owners sell the paper and fire most of them, have started their own cooperative news org. Important reporting by @maximillianalvarez.bsky.social
Corporate profiteers destroyed journalism. Worker-owned media can save it.
Former Pittsburgh Post-Gazette workers went on strike for over three years and won. Then, the owners sold the paper and most strikers lost their jobs. Now, they’ve launched “a cooperative news organiz...

Running out of body bags, using forklifts to transfer corpses into makeshift morgues, a mortician conducting 200 funerals in a month when he usually does 30, crematories running at double capacity… And these senators just want to memory-hole it all www.nytimes.com/2020/04/30/n...

Do white people ever think, "I wonder what it would be like if every book I read or TV or film only had Black people in them?" Just constantly inundated with images of Black people, in our vastness. Probably not, but, I dare say, it would change how they view everything. Representation matters.
Senate Dems just announced a $40 million ground game investment across 10 battleground states. I’m pleasantly surprised. Instead of blowing it on expensive TV ads, they’re investing in field staff, new offices, volunteer programs, and outreach to Latino, Black, and Alaska Native voters. 1/2
This is crazy to be happening in 2026. The US has now recorded more measles cases this year than in any year since 1991, marking the highest total in 35 years. As of today, the country had reported 2,295 confirmed measles cases, according to the Johns Hopkins University U.S. Measles Tracker.

@chappellskickback.bsky.social just blew up your comment section on TVL finale pod. Oops!
A contractor building Meta's data center flushed its "closed-loop" cooling system straight into Cheyenne's sewer. It carried a bacterium and knocked the city's water-reuse system offline for months. They sell these as sealed systems that barely touch the water. This one poisoned a city's.

Hi hello I was going to do a full thread on the Great American State Fair later but it seems I'm starting early: why in the fuck are PragerU, Patriot Academy, and other far right groups the ENTIRETY of the Department of Education booth
Happy 250th Independence Day, America! ❤️🤍💙 🇺🇲 "O ye that love mankind! Ye that dare oppose, not only the tyranny, but the tyrant, stand forth! . . . O! receive the fugitive, and prepare in time an asylum for mankind." 🇺🇲
Two people have climbed to the top of the Empire State Building antenna. They are holding a banner that reads: “When the power of love beats the love of power, the world knows peace”
Anyone saying they want to do a genital check on kids before they can play on a sports team needs to get a throat punch and be curb-stomped until they change their shitty life choices
33% of the World's population does not have access to clean drinking water. Eff the data centers.
@chappellskickback.bsky.social Dude. TVL Ep 3. Wowwwwwww. Can't wait for the pod with Mari!
Never have I loved and respected a president more than this incredible man. #obama
"Barack, you gotta look at me." At the grand opening ceremony of the Obama Presidential Center, former First Lady Michelle Obama delivered a speech that brought the former president to tears. This is love. Love of husband, love of a president, love of a country.
@chappellskickback.bsky.social Jacob said in an interview that he thinks Louis doesn't want to think about Lestat being hurt, hence glazing over the scars. I think leaving them out can also help to make Lestat appear more villainous bc the scars imply he's been hurt badly before. It's very layered.
@chappellskickback.bsky.social So glad I found you through RHAP & I'm enjoying your RK on TVL with Mari. I'm the obnoxious commenter with the cute white dog as my icon on YT. 😂
To everyone who helped bring the Obama Presidential Center to life, thank you. Michelle and I are so grateful for all your dedication and hard work over the years. I got a little teary-eyed tonight thinking about my mother-in-law, Marian Robinson.

I urge ALL AMERICANS to keep their guard up and be ready to fight. The mid-terms are NOT guaranteed. We have to fight voter suppression, gerrymandering intimidation, false claims, DOJ interference, and more. Check your registrations BEFORE voting. Spread the word.
