mRNA vaccines continue to show major promise.
In a small Phase 1 trial led by Dr. Balachandran, some patients with pancreatic cancer (one of the deadliest cancers) reached 6-year survival.
This is why sustained investment in science & research matters.

Absolutely historic vote today where 40 US Senators voted to block the sale of Caterpillar D-9 bulldozers to Israel, citing civilian harm Gaza, the West Bank, and Lebanon.
Though the measure was defeated (as expected), the tide is turning. Just last year, this number was 27.
Please share as widely as possible.
This is open to Palestinians anywhere in the world, published or not.

when i am elected President, i promise to start screaming, one-sided fights with the Pope much more often, but for very different reasons
Why does filing my taxes evoke the same stress response in me every year that I imagine my ancestors experienced while, like, single-handedly fighting off a wild boar

33 year old Leqaa Kordia has FINALLY been released after one year in ICE custody. (📷: @gazamom)
Leqaa came to the US ten years ago on a student visa. She was detained for her participation in a Palestine protest, held 1,500 miles away from home, and kept in harrowing conditions.
We used AI to kill 200 children last week. Sorry if I don’t have the energy to care about a hat.
Judge Biery signed the order with a photo of Liam and two bible verses: The first is "But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven." The second is simply "Jesus wept."
Astonishing thing for a judge to do.
the video of another person being murdered by the state on the streets of minneapolis shows exactly what people are saying it shows. make your own choices but don’t feel like you are obligated to bear witness to it. reading a description is enough.
Dems backed Trump into a corner where he’s advocating for starving Americans and hemorrhaging support. If they vote to let him off the hook in exchange for nothing it’s a cataclysmic failure. I know people are in pain but insulating Republicans from political consequences is not the answer.
I want you to understand what it is like to live in Chicago during this time. Every day my phone buzzes. It is a neighborhood group: four people were kidnapped at the corner drugstore. A friend a mile away sends a Slack message: she was at the scene when masked men assaulted and abducted two people on the street. A plumber working on my pipes is distraught, and I find out that two of his employees were kidnapped that morning. A week later it happens again. An email arrives. Agents with guns have chased a teacher into the school where she works. They did not have a warrant. They dragged her away, ignoring her and her colleagues’ pleas to show proof of her documentation. That evening I stand a few feet from the parents of Rayito de Sol and listen to them describe, with anguish, how good Ms. Diana was to their children. What it is like to have strangers with guns traumatize your kids. For a teacher to hide a three-year-old child for fear they might be killed. How their relatives will no longer leave the house. I hear the pain and fury in their voices, and I wonder who will be next. Understand what it is to pray in Chicago.

Hey Bryan! I'm wondering if you might be interested in covering my campaign to boycott The Life of a Showgirl and pledge the money to humanitarian aid for Gaza instead. I've gotten over 300 signatures on my petition and a hundred thousand views on this TikTok:

I find it disturbing that I was disinvited from @sethmoulton.bsky.social’s event, along with another social worker, after donating money to his campaign. I guess I can’t purchase the chance to talk to my congressman. Or maybe my $25 just didn’t go far enough? #mapoli
The thing that people need to understand about #TaylorSwift is that she is a person, but she is also a brand. And we need to convince her that being silent on genocide is bad for her brand.
If you are a former #TaylorSwift fan who is feeling outraged about her not speaking out about #Gaza, please sign and share my petition to boycott The Life of a Showgirl until she publicly condemns the genocide! chng.it/Z5jkfsMCNj
Treating Executive Orders as law is another autocratic constitutional amendment that's being effected by widespread fear and judicial surrender
Hey all! If you haven’t heard, a large fire is happening in Arizona right now. Indigenous communities are being harmed so please watch this video & donate to CodyArtis on Venmo.
The first person speaking is @modern-warrior.bsky.social who is Modern Warrior on Instagram, where I saw this video
NEW: The govt says it plans to begin proceedings to deport Kilmar Abrego Garcia to an unnamed third country (not El Salvador, where an immigration court found he is in danger of persecution) once he is released from TN criminal custody (as soon as tomorrow).
Hope and solidarity won tonight, and will win again in November.
Congratulations, @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social
Last night, Trump said Iran’s nuclear program was “completely and totally obliterated.”
This morning, JD Vance says we will “permanently dismantle that nuclear program over the coming years.”
Which is it? Sounds like more endless war against the will of the American people.
We are marching. Idk where. I feel pretty sanguine about it. No community like a good protest community. #nowarwithIran
“No war on immigrants. Money for jobs and education, not for war and deportation!” #nowarwithIran #abolishICE
