Huge headlines around the world. In major US media, unreported. Something's fishy here.

As a former teacher, I never scrubbed in for a gender reassignment surgery, but I did instruct the kids on how to get the window screens off in case of an active shooter…

Trump supporters: you libtards would hate Trump even if he cured cancer. Actual Trump policy: Let’s expose millions of Americans to cancer-causing chemicals so that one of my donors can make slightly more money, while also cutting funds for cancer research and treatment.

Uh oh, did someone’s website and personal account experience a big drop in activity after Ukraine hit a Russian data center?

This is clearly not acceptable

It’s simply unimaginable that CDC Director Dr. Erica Schwartz has just bowed to RFK Jr. and approved funding for an utterly unethical clinical trial that will withhold the birth dose of HepB vaccine in Guinea Bissau. It is to be conducted by researchers accused of academic misconduct.

I know we’re all thinking about what happened at Cornell. But I also can’t stop thinking about Emma Sulkowicz and all the other young women forced to carry that weight. Read my column at the newsletter 💜

What does a sniper position at Memorial Circle actually defend against? Not China. Not a submarine. Not a missile. It overlooks a bridge, a traffic circle, and the front door of the National Mall. Those are places where Americans march. www.jackhopkinsnow.com

Friends? Memorize this. Also, I will give you the lesson my dad taught me when I was only 10 years old: "If you are ever in a situation when you are arrested, the only word you know, or have ever known, is 'lawyer'."

This is an actual public service ad created by the Norwegian government regarding this problem. If you think the Internet sucks now, you're not alone.

Could new bus shelter roofs help New Yorkers stay cool in extreme heat? We're testing a few in Brownsville to find out: a green roof covered with native plants, and reflective roofs covered with low-cost, heat-resilient film.

Natalie Harp is so obsessed with Trump! She aired Trump‘s 2016 stump speeches in their entirety, she treats all his social media posts as major breaking news, even when he insults her, she invites him to speak at a big annual dinner…oh wait, sorry, I got her confused with mainstream corporate media.

New study finds that the rapid growth of electric vehicles in China has prevented over 300,000 premature deaths. Conversely -- and this is just math -- everything done to prevent the rise of EVs in the US leads to more preventable deaths of Americans. It's not an academic debate.

The world just experienced the hottest August 12th since 1940 and likely the hottest August 12th in the last 120,000 years, at 1.58°C (2.84°F) above the 1850-1900 pre-industrial baseline. But sure, global warming is a hoax from left-wing lunatics, as Trump keeps saying.

Hi, I am a psychologist and specialize in evaluating adults who went undiagnosed in childhood. We actually are noticing it more in older groups. We’ve also updated the diagnostic criteria to recognize people who were overlooked previously.

Texas Republicans know this is the year they lose unless they take active measures to suppress the vote. So that's what they're doing.

The “Why would a woman I’ve made worry that I will hurt her if she displeases me cook to placate me?” question is only asked by the least self-aware domestic abusers.

SpaceX rocket that exploded shortly after takeoff destroyed land & wildlife: Concrete chunks had left craters a foot deep & were strewn across tidal flats, almost four acres of state park burned, 7 bobwhite quail eggs & a collection of blue land crabs incinerated. www.bloomberg.com/news/feature...

Do you want to know how popular school vouchers are? They have never won on a ballot. Not once. In any state. Ever. The only way states are able pass a school voucher scheme is behind closed doors. Legislatively. The people would never approve their tax dollars going to private religious schools.

@cultexpert.freedomofmind.com Dry eye: I highly recommend IPL (intense pulsed light) procedure. In < yr, I went from 11 semi-functional meibomian glands to 50 functional. Also meibo drops. I have an rx now, but they are available OTC in other countries for $40! Also diligent electric heat mask.

Nicole Wallace ☠️☠️☠️ "Riddle me this: when Obama ran intelligence, the election was secure and Donald Trump won in 2016… But when Donald Trump and all of his boobs were running US national security, it got all effed up. Is that the theory?"

ICE killed a Colombian man. He was legally authorized to work. His wife and 3-year-old daughter were in the car when ICE fired at least 5 times. He was not their target. Agents wore no body cameras. This is fascism. Prepare: PAXIS.app Keep it free: GoFundMe.com/PAXIS

Michael Fanone's take on Lindsey Graham is one of the most powerful I've read:

Facebook’s own researchers found that “64% of all extremist group joins are due to our recommendation tools”, an internal report in 2016 found. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

Microbiologist & stem-cell researcher Dr. Ann Tsukamoto co-patented a process to isolate human hematopoietic stem cells, 1991. Her work laid the literal groundwork for modern regenerative medicine and cancer treatment. She was born #OTD in 1952. #WomenInSTEM #medsky

I can't believe we still have to remind people of these things but: most rape victims don't file police reports. (You're reading one right now.) Shock, denial, need to appease the rapist, nominally friendly behavior toward the rapist, etc. are all common reactions

The anti-vax group formerly led by Robert Kennedy Jr. has been promoting the story of a woman who says vaccines killed her 18-month-old twins. She’s the lead plaintiff in the group’s lawsuit against the American Academy of Pediatrics. Well, now she’s been charged with suffocating the toddlers.

If David Hearn had instead rubbed feces on the walls of Congress he'd be free right now

Imagine using the National Guard to protect green algae but not US democracy on January 6. Trump is sickening.

Six years ago today, the Supreme Court ruled LGBTQ+ employees are protected from workplace discrimination under federal civil rights law. As the Trump-Vance admin tries to undermine progress made, we’re committed to pushing forward.

Self-proclaimed centrists, as a class, seem far more preoccupied, not to say obsessed, with the flawed attempts to do good on their left than they are with the open, naked, ugly determination to do evil on their right. I would just like them to grapple with that fact, a little bit, for once.

Imagine how angry Americans would be if the media had adequately explained to them that Obama had secured a deal that was preventing Iran from getting a nuclear weapon and Trump blew it the fuck up.

www.tiktok.com/t/ZTB6LTkGx/ All of those Republicans who claimed that Obamacare was going to create “death panels,” didn’t give a shit that insurance companies are death panels every day. EVERY. FUCKING. DAY! So yeah…Luigi…uhm….🤷🏽‍♀️

We found that the sepsis rate in second-trimester pregnancy loss hospitalizations increased by more than 50% under Texas’ abortion ban. Here’s how we did our analysis. (Published Feb. 2025)
