I miss DEI science and the federal agencies and experts that kept us safe…. “Taylor Farms has confirmed ​that this product is not part of ​its current recall, the FDA said in the statement ⁠as it seeks to curtail the largest foodborne illness ​outbreak in the United States in recent years.”😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫

You know what used to keep us safe? SCIENCE! Brilliant, humble, innovative experts at functioning federal agencies whose life’s work was a benefit to the greater good. Never forget the attack on federal agencies and American science by our own govt. Fight like hell 💪🏼🫶🏼 #DOGE #Vought #SaveScience

The FDA said a sample of shredded iceberg lettuce supplied by ‌Taylor Farms that is not part of the current recall tested positive for the parasitic illness

This is Lamine Yamal the 19 year old star of the Spanish National team & FC Barcelona. He did this in May at the parade when Barca won the league. In case you’re not sure whom to root for tomorrow. ⚽️

I teared up too! I think because Mayor Mamdani shows us how simple it is to make spaces accessible for healthy fun. It’s not hard, but it does require that those in power have the will to look beyond wealthy and white in a massively diverse city to transform communities; it brings such HOPE!

This summer, we kept the lights on all night, every night, at five soccer fields across New York City.

This was the scene at Calvert Vaux Park in Gravesend, Brooklyn Tuesday night.

Rep. Aisha Gomez: “To look at people standing up against ICE and see ‘paid protesters’ says nothing about us and everything about you.” “That you cannot conceive of us loving our neighbors so much that we would actually do something for them.”

A 3-year-old girl watched ICE murder her father yesterday. We all watched Sebastian Guerrero’s final moments through our phones. We can scroll away — but Sebastian’s 3-year-old daughter cannot.

This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days. ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.

I visited Norway during a doctoral exchange and as an American it’s striking - a nation that orients towards kindness and dignity. There, high-need schools get the best teachers. Here, teacher salaries are tens of thousands $ LOWER in those districts. Norwegians could not fathom this. I can’t either

Ro! Ro! – Norway's World Cup team "rows" with 90,000 people outside Royal Palace in Oslo tv.vg.no/video/383250...

Ana Navarro: Let’s remember that lCE has kiIIed before, just kiIIed again today. A lot of times has lied about it, has explained it in a way that does not fit the video that we see and, testimony from people on the ground. Over 52 people have died in lCE custody.

I believe the witnesses. We already know that ICE lies about people trying to ram officers with their vehicles. We’ve seen this before. #JusticeForLorenzo

Erling Haaland, the Norwegian striker, is incredibly popular with his fans, especially children. #WorldCup

It makes me sick that in 2026 we’re told to accept Platner’s drunk Nazi tattooed, demeaning, assaulting of women ass by prominent Dems who deny reality because we need this brand of progressive?! Jenny Racicot is a hero, veterans deserve better, PTSD doesn’t make you a lying rapist. Believe women!😤

Exclusive: Woman who dated Graham Platner says he sexually assaulted her

The Maine Democrat denied the allegations and said, “Any accusation of non-consensual behavior is categorically untrue.”

Just thinking this morning about how many women are forced to serve up the most intimate and horrible moments of their pasts because people blast through a veritable thicket of red flags in support of a political candidate, and in retaliation, they are smeared and harassed.

Well, we may have lost but at least we look like we cheated

Re: Graham Platner, I felt like I was being punked when people acted like he wasn’t obviously dishonest and untrustworthy this entire time. Starting with the unbelievable defense of his tattoo, which I was shocked to see people fall for

I have this terrible feeling trump cursed this USA vs. Belgium game with his felon narcissist meddling and genuinely feel like Balogun should not play even though that red card was total bs…

Yes!😵‍💫 Like, nazi tattoo, no one could possibly have seen this coming?! What is it about Dems with white male politicians who have been entitled pathetic little bitches since high school and somehow, it’s all willful ignorance and HE’S OUR GUY?! Eric Swalwell too, endorsed by big platforms, HELLO??!

Love these folks! Thanks @harebrained.bsky.social for the perfect July 4th attire!!

A heat dome shutting down a national birthday parade in the capital of the nation that has led the way in both producing a significant amount of global climate change and in spearheading its denial so nothing can be fucking done to slow it down is pretty on-point, actually.

I am at peace. Cabo Verde lifted the entire diaspora and made us proud.

UPDATE: We learned that the folks behind Project 2025, are encouraging their base to write comments in favor of the rule. This suggests our efforts are working and they are shaken. IT ALSO MEANS WE NEED TO GO OUT WITH A BANG. MAKE YOUR COMMENT TODAY!!!

🚨 HEADS UP: If you haven't submitted a comment on the OMB proposal yet, there's still time - but it's running out! There are only 11 days left to push back against Russell Vought's attempt to give political appointees unprecedented control over federal research funding. Take Action: zurl.co/R83IO

This is how you LEAD! As heat waves become longer and hotter. I’ve never seen an elected official center and address the realities of the majority of residents and workers who do not have the privilege of staying indoors, functioning AC, made in a cooling center! Watch this! 💪🏼🫶🏼

Here’s what you should know about the historic heat wave headed our way. Especially if you’re (hypothetically) having your wedding at MSG this weekend.

As a scientist the strangest part is bigotry is black and white (XX or XY) and that’s simply not scientifically or biologically accurate - as a species we’d be gone if there wasn’t biological variance, diversity is natural bigotry is not….remember Caster Semenya the star who had her career stolen

Donald Trump came one vote away from getting the Supreme Court to say that the 14th Amendment does not guarantee birthright citizenship for the children of undocumented and temporary immigrants, a view held only by fringe far-right nativists until VERY recently. This is shocking. I am stunned.

In a 5-4 decision #SCOTUS was 1 bigot away from drastically reshaping our nation by denying rightful presence to anyone who is not white (because of course we white folks would still be granted #BirthrightCitizenship) and as a white person of Italian decent….JFC!! 🤬

Robert Reich@rbreich.bsky.social · last mo.

Reporting on the SCOTUS birthright case doesn't reflect how alarming it is that the ruling was so close. It also glosses over the danger of a Roberts Court that attacks voting rights, minority protections, and campaign finance laws — all while making it easier for corporations to poison us. Hello?

This country was one person's vote away this morning from putting any birthright citizen in danger of being deported tomorrow. We are so much closer to the abyss than we think. Man oh man.

On Birthright Citizenship: “The Reconstruction Amendments were an anticaste, antisubordination reset for the Nation, not a mere spot treatment for the dark stain of slavery.” -Justice Ketanji Brown 💅💕

I taught high school science way back and had students do a climate change debate (inconvenient truth was just out, science was certain but not like today). At the end, students were like, even if the science ends up being all wrong, taking action will only make the world better. They were freshman.
