“What I didn’t know was that measles can cause long-term complications. A child can seem fine while the virus slowly replicates in her brain… Because both Britain and the United States are confronting outbreaks, I am sharing my story. Parents should know just how dangerous this disease is.”
I'm not joking when I say mRNA technology is more important than "AI" and it's a tragedy we're throwing billions into one while our government is aggressively defunding the other.
"The rise of extreme wealth is one of the clearest signs of this imbalance. In 1987, billionaires held wealth equal to 3% of global GDP. Today this tiny elite, just 0.0001% of the world population, owns the equivalent of *16%* of world GDP in wealth."
You'd think that over the last 30-40 years, instead of pushing into ever more gerrymandered and polarized corners, both parties would have seen this happening and thought, maybe it would benefit Dems AND Reps if we reform out system. www.instagram.com/reel/DWmBnPG...
Rick Scott is a xenophobic racist.
For decades, postal workers avoided even the appearance of being serial killers. David Berkowitz is taking a different approach.
Genuinely depressing to me that your partner has to Doordash to raise money for your cancer treatment when you get old. What happens if you don't have a partner? Are we just working to pay a landlord and save up for a medical emergency when we're elderly?
Again, there's a strange feeling of whiplash when you watch what's happening at the federal level at the hands of a political party and movement that actively wants to make people's lives worse and then turn around and see a leader at the city level who actively wants to make people's lives better.
TikTok, Twitter, Facebook, Fox News, The Wall Street Journal, CBS, and CNN all have Trump-aligned owners. Here’s why US media has a liberal bias problem.
What a sad boring little man. Living in monoculture leads to the death of ingenuity, creativity, growth, learning, and experiences.
Yes. Exactly this.
this is just stunningly corrosive to public trust and there need to be congressional subpoenas and jail time
this is actually a great use of oversight power the second dems take control of congress - haul polymarket execs up there and make them give you everything they have on this shit
Iran’s propaganda is way better than MAGA’s
Maybe this isn’t healthy, but I don’t think I’ll ever be able to forgive the 78M f’ing people who put this orange a-hole and his band of idiots into power, again.
Trump is deranged and delusional. He refuses to deal with factual reality and believes in his own grandiosity. He should not be anywhere near the levers of power. America and the world will long pay for the tragic mistake of returning him to power. He should be removed now.
"Whether it was Obama's "latte salute" or Trump's Easter message Iran, modern Presidents are showing shocking changes to the norms of how we communicate."
“Jesus ‘CHRIST,’ a total loser, died like a Dog, has been DEAD for more than 24 hours and is NEVER COMING BACK!!!!!!”

Ideologues aren’t rational. Science funding is just part of the admin state he despises, he can’t distinguish, and has likely told himself fantasies that science $ is all waste or the private sector can do it, to fit into his rigid ideologue views.
Seriously, why are all billionaires so messed up?
What a country
Amidst everything else, the Trump regime has quietly killed off the U.S. Forest Service 🌲
“One hundred and ninety-three million acres of your national forests… just handed, on a silver platter, to the people who’ve spent their entire careers trying to destroy it.”

A drunken adulterous Fox News host says troops are fighting for Jesus in Iran. The pope disagrees. For busy Catholics it can be hard to know who to believe.
Early front runner for headline of the year.
@nytpitchbot.bsky.social might be time to give up.
BREAKING: U.S. job growth for February revised sharply lower — from -92,000 to -133,000 jobs, marking the largest monthly job loss since December 2020.
This convo should send a chill through the country. The level of strategic blunder and long-term damage from this debacle in Iran is hard to describe. It’s truly stunning.

Two of the officers targeted by Mr. Hegseth are Black and two are women on a promotion list that consisted of 29 other officers, most of whom are white men. Mr. Hegseth’s highly unusual decision to remove the officers prompted some senior military officials to question whether they were being singled out because of their race or gender, officials said. Mr. Hegseth had been pressing Mr. Driscoll and General George for months to remove the officers from the promotion list. But Mr. Driscoll and General George refused, citing the officers’ long records of exemplary service.

Reactionary centrists and republicans spent years smearing, belittling, or dismissing anyone who properly described the Trumpism as a white supremacist project. bsky.app/profile/nbcn...
NEW: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has taken steps to block or delay promotions for more than a dozen Black and female senior officers across all four branches of the military, according to nine U.S. officials familiar with the process.
I hope this is driving home to folks that anti-DEI/anti-woke are functioning mostly as a way to make racism more palatable by framing it as a kind of defensive reaction to an imagined unfairness.
