GOOD NEWS! Researchers at Stanford University have developed a UNIVERSAL vaccine known as GLA-3M-052-LS+OVA, that protects against a wide range of respiratory viruses, bacteria AND even allergens. The vaccine is delivered intranasally AND provides broad protection in the lungs for several MONTHS.

Texas primary exposed GOP scheme to rig the 2026 midterms | Will Bunch Conspiracy theories, confusing rules, and right-wing judges: A Dallas voting fiasco is a 5-alarm fire for U.S. democracy.

It's no secret that Trump's GOP wants to put its fingers on the scale of democracy and mess up the 2026 midterms, but how?

Rooted in conspiracy theories, a deliberate effort to confuse voters, and judicial meddling, Dallas exposed their vile scheme

We really need to talk more about supremacist ideology being enforced through sexual violence even among men which is minimized & dismissed as "hazing." Two boys were terrorized with racist rhetoric & repeatedly sexually assaulted. The school protected the perpetrators.

How many days was the story on the front page of your print edition? And did the headline attribute responsibility to any party? And did the headline give the actual number of children murdered?

Public pressure and threat of impeachment helped get Noem out. This is why we are pushing for impeachment of RFK, because that kind of pressure works.

Trump’s War now providing a massive influx of cash for Iran’s ally Russia so they can continue to bomb civilians in Ukraine while we ask Ukraine for help against Iranian drones. Trump’s foreign policy in a nutshell.

There are a lot of cynical responses to this that are possible, even appropriate, but this finding is an indication of both how we got here & a window into how dire the democratic crisis. Co governance is pretty hard if you assume bad faith from most of your fellows *especially* if it’s warranted.

Trump has now explicitly affirmed the right to choose or veto leaders in Venezuela, Iraq, Iran, Honduras and Argentina, and implicitly Brazil and various European countries.

This is a direct violation of sovereignty and self-determination, which are bedrock foundations of any international order.

6 March 1900 | A Jewish woman, Julia Guerstein (nΓ©e Nahon), was born in Cairo, Egypt. She lived in France.

She arrived at #Auschwitz on 6 February 1944 in a transport of 1,214 Jews deported from Drancy. She was among the 999 people murdered after selection in gas chambers.

ICE is moving people faster & faster. In October, a friend was taken from his home. By the afternoon, he was in Putnam County. They said he'd be there for a couple days. Next day, we rushed there to get him paperwork for legal rep but he was already on his way to Knox Co & in Louisiana the next day.
