Antifascism is proper. Dog rescue. Vegetarian. Sober. Records not vinyls. Journalism not 'research'. Public not voucher. 2A=colonialism, patriarchy, slavery; not guns. Fuck guns. Antizionism=anti-oppression, liberation—NOT antisemitism #deconflate

Billy Borgioli was a Real Kid, Varmint, Willie Alexander poem subject, Johnny Ramone guitar tech (/roadie), Three Stooges fan, wicked good musician, neighbor and friend. It's been what, a decade since he passed? I wear the shirt on his birthdays because I like it. It was a gift from Nancy. [1/2]

Everywhere should be a hostile place for Republicans. They should not be able to find a friend anywhere. They should lose all their professional and familial relationships. They should be blocked from signing up to social media platforms, clubs, and yard sales. They should be ejected from fairs.

RE: https://ohai.social/@thatkatharine/117021628893993497 The ongoing #pandemic isn't a bygone era. That's a trope. A meme. It's manufactured consent to put our families and communities at undue risk, mostly to force people into unsafe #labor environments. [1/2]

RE: https://mastodon.social/@mediabiasfactcheck/117015601404520407 YES, this is as it should be. Restoration of the conditions required to bring democracy to the USA is going to be slow going, incremental. But here we see it happening. #counterdisruption #enfranchisement #votingRights

If you're involved with orgs planning how to resist a coup or election interference this fall, make sure you have a plan ready if these muppets botch Ebola the same way they botched COVID, and the bad guys try to use it as an excuse to cancel the elections. #USA #polisky #DSA #Democrats

🧵 For anyone wondering whether IPC and public health leaders are competent to manage Ebola, the answer is a categorical "no". Current WHO guidance, released May 17, 2026, is still based on the 5-micron error (p51 & 58), out of date since 1934. The quacks responsible should be in jail.

WSJ: Trump Admin To End Medicare Drug Subsidies https://sh.itjust.works/post/64189082

WSJ: Trump Admin To End Medicare Drug Subsidies - sh.itjust.works

The Trump administration plans to end a subsidy program that helped hold down premiums for Medicare drug plans, a move that could leave many seniors facing higher rates for their prescription coverage next year. The move will eliminate a program that is giving insurance companies an estimated $3.6 billion in subsidies this year to blunt increases in premiums for the Medicare prescription plans, known as Part D. The program will end after 2026, according to administration officials. High drug costs are a perennial issue—especially for seniors on fixed incomes—and healthcare affordability is expected to be a focus in the midterm elections. Roughly 25 million people have Part D plans, and they will learn about their 2027 rates in the fall. Medicare drug coverage premiums are rising because the plans have been hit by growing expenses for GLP-1 medications and other specialty drugs. Original WSJ article paywalled.
