Without starting a fight, may I just say that if you deeply and profoundly understand the need for human contact as a result of Covid, you might consider doing something to help the people still at high risk from Covid access it, instead of acting in ways that excludes and isolates them.
it really is remarkable *how mild* the op-ed that she wrote was. It really shouldn’t matter what she said, but I think they chose to make an example of her precisely *because* she didn’t do anything remotely wrong. They wanted to show they could do this to anyone.
The fact that Mamdani just seems like a cheerful normal guy who's policies are things like "we're going to tax second homes to fund pothole repairs" or whatever and yet this generates panicked responses like "This is basically Stalin's great purge turned up to eleven" is... telling. It tells things.
Long Covid patient Jeremy and his mother Stephanie, a ME/CFS patient, are pictured. Included is Jeremy's testimonial about how joining Solve's LC-Plan helped him navigate health insurance.

Trump: "The Failing New York Times, FAKE NEWS CNN, and others, just don’t know what to do. They are desperately looking for a reason to criticize President Donald J. Trump on the Iran situation, but just can’t find it. Why don’t they just say, at the right time, JOB WELL DONE, MR. PRESIDENT, and start to gain back their credibility???"

He’s not writing most of these. The style is unmistakably different
Tax breaks for just four corporations—Amazon, Alphabet, Google, and Tesla—blew a $51 BILLION hole in the deficit last year.
Every penny being taken from healthcare, housing, childcare, and food assistance is paying for that.
Despicable fucking government.
AP publishes a good multi-state rundown on pushback all over the country against plans for huge Trump prison camps:

I've studied so many concentration camps through history that held vulnerable people in just this kind of crowded squalor. You demonize people, you demand more arrests, this is what you get. It already has its own budget and its own momentum, and is on track to go much further, unless we stop it.
so happy for my emotional support astronauts
This is no way to live, man
i think if you tweet "a whole civilization will die tonight" you shouldn't go to the hague, the hague should get to come to you
Star Tribune: "First came ICE. Then came the bounty hunters."
'The surge of ICE agents on Minnesota streets was terrifying. Now, unregulated bounty hunters seem to have taken their place.'

The Department of State tweets a video of Secretary Marco Rubio. In the video, Rubio says: "Imagine if instead of spending billions of dollars supporting terrorists or weapons, Iran had spent that money helping the people of Iran. They would have a much different country."
FactPost News tweets a video of Donald Trump speaking at a podium. In the video he says: "We can't take care of daycare. We're a big country. We're fighting wars. It's not possible for us to take care of daycare, Medicaid, Medicare, all these things."
hmm
Don't get me wrong: I'm relieved that this case is shaping up as either 8-1 or 7-2 against the Trump executive order. But the case is a gift to the Supreme Court. By rejecting an outlandish position, it will earn credibility as apolitical, even as the Overton window moves far to the right.
#LegalSky remains undefeated, and undefeatable. 😏
"This study had two research questions: (i) How many unrecognized COVID-19 deaths occurred from March 2020 to December 2021 in the US, and (ii) did unrecognized COVID-19 deaths occur in some sociodemographic populations disproportionately?"
estimate of total covid deaths:
840,251 → 995,787
At this point I don't wonder how much insider trading is going on. I wonder how much policy is being made with the purpose of insider trading on it.
I think Americans, blessed with relatively stable government for a long time, assume there is someone, some adult, who will step in and make things right before the President does anything REALLY bad.
There’s not.
Apart from the moral repugnance, this is so revealing of how ignorant conservatives are about poverty. Poor people have to think about money ALL THE TIME. They worry constantly about what everything costs, how to substitute one purchase for another, what bill can be put off until payday, etc.
Here's my bottom line:
Much of what they are doing is bad.
Much of what they are doing is unpopular.
Pushback is working.
We are winning.
Keep fighting.
Be creative.
Push for what you'd want.
Allow for insiders and outsiders.
Realize that change takes time.
Reduce harm in the meantime.
Iran’s people were facing a horrible shortage of water before the war began. If we are destroying desalination plants and setting fire to Teheran we are committing unfathomable crimes.
Staff at the nation’s largest Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facility have placed bets on which detainee will be the next to die by suicide, according to new reporting from the Associated Press based on 911 calls and detainee accounts.
Oh no, I can't believe all those slurs forced themselves into that defenseless group chat!
This.
The image is of graves being dug for the girls killed when the U.S. bombed their school.
Mom, come pick me up, the best lack all conviction and the worst are full of passionate intensity.
Nurul Amin Shah Alam's violent arrest, by police who saw his walking stick as a weapon—and who, like the Border Patrol officers who dumped him, apparently made no attempt to reckon with his disability or his mental state—set off events that ended in his death. www.motherjones.com/mojo-wire/20...
Other information in the files reinforces this victim’s significance. An internal FBI email this summer — headed “Names in JE file” and sent July 22, 2025, two days before Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche interviewed Maxwell in prison — provides the results of “positive case hits” of famous people in the files. The first name on the list is Donald Trump, and the email notes “one identified victim claimed abuse by Trump but ultimately refused to cooperate.” None of the other names have any notes by them. Burleigh and Chenoweth first reported the existence of this letter. An email showing Trump's name on a list, saying, "one identified victim claimed abuse by trump but ultimately refused to cooperate."
That's why this part of the story is so important: This allegation was flagged 2 days before Todd Blanche interviewed Ghislaine.
FBI had decided to shut this down on July 6, weeks earlier. So for what purpose (besides prepping Blanche) were people still reviewing these files?
