From #Gaza, the cries of parents rise to heaven ever more intensely as they clutch the lifeless bodies of their children, searching for food and shelter from bombs. I renew my appeal to leaders: cease fire, release all hostages, and fully respect international humanitarian law!

Elon fired the IGs and gutted the federal agencies investigating and regulating his companies including the SEC, NLRB, DoD, NHTSA, FDA, DoA and FAA. DOGE could only verify $5 billion in savings for this year, while potentially costing taxpayers $135 billion. There’s your fraud.

Your periodic reminder that Riley Gaines became a conservative influencer on trans women in sports after she finished 5th in a race, beaten by four women who aren't trans. But she tied for 5th with a trans woman, and that launched her media career. So, here we are.

One part of this: Elect more renters. Homeowners -- who make up 93% of all elected officials!! -- may not think about prioritizing renters' issues & are possibly even disincentivized from tackling the crisis in a way that would lower rents (like, say, building more housing.)

Texas cops tried to find an abortion patient by using data from an automatic license plate reader (ALPR), which gave them access to over 83,000 cameras across the country. The dystopian future feminists have been warning about is already here. 404media.co/a-texas-cop-se…

This is truly mind blowing. Not many performances hold up 90 years later. When Owens set that record it was one of 4 world records he set in a 45-minute window at the meet. It’s one of the greatest performances in history.

“I can't ask them to stand up for themselves if I'm sitting down. I can't encourage them to use their voice to effect change if I'm only willing to whisper.” dawnstaley - that last part is the bar - “only willing to whisper” ! Sit with that! #UncommonFavor

Correct. I hope all journalists covering today’s rally ask what binding, enforceable document actually guarantees investment in PA mills and *jobs* (investment alone could mean robots) before reporting this is a “deal” for us. Also, who traded on this while it was not public?

“He told people he was taking so much ketamine that it was affecting his bladder. He took Ecstasy and psychedelic mushrooms. And he traveled with a daily medication box that held about 20 pills, including ones with the markings of the stimulant Adderall…” nytimes.com/2025/05/30/us/…

"Brooke Nichols, an associate professor of global health at Boston University, has estimated that these cuts have already resulted in about 300,000 deaths, most of them of children, and will most likely lead to significantly more by the end of the year." nytimes.com/2025/05/30/opi…

People are going into debt to buy groceries with buy now / pay later apps, and use GoFundMes to raise money for their hospital bills… …while billionaires are allowed to write off the cost of their private jets and yachts on their taxes. Wealth inequality is a policy choice.

Our grant was pulled before review at NIH because we used the words “women’s health.” We want to understand how menopause makes the brain more vulnerable to #Alzheimer. 2/3 of those diagnosed are women. All my background and past research are no longer interesting to the U.S.

Loretta was a supremely talented actor. She deserved all her 10 EMMY nominations and her 2 wins. But more than acting her part, she created it. She worked hard In showing the writing staff how they could turn the character from a one joke sexist stereotype into a real person --

Couldn’t help but notice that neither the Times or Post have a story up about Trump saying he’s not sorry that Joe Biden has cancer. I guess that’s just Trump being Trump ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I don't know if there is a more appropriate goodbye to Loretta Swit, than her last scene in MASH in the series finale. Loretta won two Emmy's for her role as Major Houlihan.

We were literally on the cusp of a cure for both HIV and a more effective treatment for Alzheimer’s. There is a reason this country’s scientific community and doctors are leaving for Canada at a 750% increase since last year

SecState Rubio claims that no on has died because of USAID cuts and suggested that I had lied in my reporting. So here I show him photos of specific children who have died because of the Trump administration's reckless cancelation of aid: nytimes.com/2025/05/31/opi…

mRNA vaccines have already saved millions of lives from Covid and could save even more from flu. Cancelling investments in critical research will set us back and cost us time and lives if bird flu emerges as the next pandemic. nbcnews.com/now/video/hhs-…

The #TulsaRaceMassacre was state-sanctioned murder and economic devastation. Both driven by racism and pervasive white supremacist ideology. Neither a thing of the past. I remember and mourn. And I recognize clear and present danger. #Greenwood #BlackWallStreet #BerniceAKing

If you make scientists feel unwelcome, don’t be surprised when they stop coming.
