Here's today's column on the astonishing, ongoing mistreatment of people with #ME/CFS. Please spread it far and wide: the only thing which can break the media's wall of indifference is seeing an article about the issue go viral. Thank you. 1/2 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Wtf are we even doing

The guy who thinks humans deserve health care is being trashed as dangerous. Dangerous to what exactly, we might ask.

Unions power the economy. Unions build the middle class. Unions fight for fairness. I'm so honored to be endorsed by strong Michigan unions.

🧵 1/ Yesterday was the International Day of Clean Air for blue skies. 🌍 I missed it because the day was absolutely rammed 😅 But clean air matters today too, and tomorrow, and every day after that.

The Rio Grande is drying up before our eyes. Millions of people depend on this river, yet Texas keeps treating our water like we have an endless supply. We need to protect every drop we have and put Texans first when deciding where our water goes.

Texans: No, you haven’t been “suspended,” but yes, you should still check your voter registration now and update it if necessary. The GOP relies on fear and confusion to supress the vote. This article is a great explainer. Read it and spread the knowledge. open.substack.com/pub/lonestar...

This is why you can't have healthcare. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/immigration/ice-buy-robot-dogs-immigration-enforcement-rcna594897

I can’t be the only one who has noticed massive power outages happening much more often in only predominantly Black populated areas in red states at a time when those particular areas are having their power grids strained by data centers. PAY ATTENTION.

Texans will be struggling between everyone gets a puppy and diarrhea forever

The fact that tech giants have acres and acres of land but they don’t build data centers on them is a good reason to not want a data center where you live.

On the 91st anniversary of Social Security, these words from FDR are just as important today:

Oil and gas companies are using billions of litres of water for fracking in Alberta. Local farmers and ranchers are worried about it — and invited Prairies reporter @drewanderson.bsky.social to come take a look at the issue, first hand. Check out our latest newsletter: thenarwhal.ca/newsletter-a...

Begging folks to wake up and realize that the massive increase in food borne illness and infectious diseases is not an accident. This was always the goal. The regime removed protections because they want “the vulnerable” to die. Fascism and eugenics go hand in hand.

The euphemism for Great Depression just dropped.

Fearing that progressives will lose general elections but centrists will win them is illogical Have you even been paying attention

From earlier this week, I wrote about how the manosphere scam works and how the GOP has adopted those same tactics for itself www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

By politicizing the federal grant process, the OMB Grant Proposal will substantially weaken our scientific enterprise that has made the United States a global leader in innovation. Take action against the proposal the link: zurl.co/Au4wk Article: zurl.co/dGIrM

Orchids revived, the corpse ambulant and a poetic ruined abbey. These are the news stories I want to read.

I'm old enough to remember when polio put my friends into iron lungs. We dutifully lined up at school to get vaccinated. We eradicated the disease. We protected the common good and saved lives. What RFK Jr. is doing to public health in America is a disgrace.

The Government™ has made an ad about Palantir, and it's surprsingly honest and informative.

Uber Eats and DoorDash hid tip buttons and set default tips below 10%. As a result, tips for delivery workers fell 79%.  In January, we made these corporations change their apps — and in the past six months, we've put $104 million back in delivery workers' pockets.  This is only the beginning.

It’s a Fair Question….. “Why is it that it takes 900 years and 5000 impact studies to build high speed rail but a 5 minute city council meeting is all it takes to approve a massive data center?”

“The DSA will destroy the Democratic Party!” Meanwhile…

This is how to help save life on our planet. Australia now has 40% of housing with solar panels & are supplying 50% of their power usage for free & by next year they estimate all domestic electricity usage will be free. C'mon America you can do it. Stop using life destroying, dirty fossil fuels.

Michigan and National Progressives! Our critical senate primary is in one week. Abdul El-Sayed is being buried by corporate money, but we can make a difference. SHARE and spread the word to put a FIGHTER in the race to take back the Senate. mdavis19881.substack.com/p/michigan-t...

It's a little known fact that during WW2 when the UK was fighting the Nazis through Belgium/ France, Jewish/ pro-Israel terrorist groups Lehi and Irgun were attacking British forces. In 1944 they assassinated the British minister of state in the Middle East, Lord Moyne, in Cairo.

More than 250,000 people flee wildfires in France and Spain

A dark money campaign is offering influencers $1,500 per post to attack Abdul El-Sayed and support Haley Stevens. Same exact dollar figure that was paid to attack @katmabu.bsky.social (Nobody ever found out who was paying for that campaign.) Gross, lazy and above all cynical shit.

Ketamine freak has completely lost what’s left of his mind because there’s a Black lady in a fictional movie.

Parking lots. In America, we have LOTS of those. Putting solar over those would probably generate enough electricity, we could quit oil in one huge category and go to electric vehicles. Just thinking outloud. 🤔

Thought we didn’t have money in the USA for healthcare. Yet the Defense Department’s latest estimate puts the cost of the war with Iran at $37.5 billion. Funny how we’re always told we can’t afford to invest in people’s health, but somehow tens of billions of dollars for war can be found.

Pretty wild that Taco Bell identified the source of the outbreak before the FDA did and promptly pulled it. Basically, Taco Bell is now a more reliable authority than the FDA

I took a hard look at the financial donors to ICE’s biggest supporters in Congress. These are people who want to significantly expand ICE’s power and have sponsored or co-sponsored legislation to do so. Here are the top 25 consumer brands bankrolling the biggest ICE supporters in Congress:

A Haitian friend lives is terror as the July 24 deadline for termination of TPS looms. He smiles as he always does but can’t help but look pained, “they will start deportations” he said. This is a man my son runs to from across the street to hug. Not sure how to raise him in this cruel world.

It just shouldn't be this…sh-hard…

this is amazing
