So which politician is calling for the dismantling of the probably illegal database that ice & this government is collecting biometric data of protesters?

I was laid off in the spring and applied for SNAP benefits. It took over six months to finally get approved for $60 a month. By the time I was approved, I’d found a new job and didn’t need the benefits. I also live alone; feeding myself wasn’t a big issue. That won’t be the case with many recipients

Prohibited activities include advising Chinese graduate students. For reference, a recent Georgetown report estimated 16% of STEM graduate students in the US are Chinese nationals.

This would take out entire fields at the knees, which is perhaps the point.

just to clarify (and kevin knows this so don’t @ him) call no matter who your senators are. the caucus will pay attention to backlash

This is INSANE. No no no! @fetterman.senate.gov @corybooker.com @kim.senate.gov NO. NO. @timklateriser.bsky.social @ryanroat.bsky.social

ChatGPT encouraged college graduate to commit suicide, family claims in lawsuit against OpenAI | CNN A 23-year-old man killed himself in Texas after ChatGPT ‘goaded’ him to commit suicide, his family says in a lawsuit.

I fully believe in the corporate death penalty and believe we would be a better world if OpenAI lost its corporate charter and was forcibly dissolved.

"World's first potential trillionaire has killed 600,000 people, including 400,000 children" is the only headline that anyone should ever read about Elon Musk

FDA Announces Nationwide Recall of ADHD Medication—Check Your Cabinets Now Sun Pharmaceutical Industries has recalled several lots lisdexamfetamine dimesylate capsules, a generic form of Vyvanse, after testing found they failed to dissolve properly.

As a headsup for anyone on Vyvanse, you should go check your lot numbers.

I do think yesterday’s results reinforced the dynamic that while much of the American leadership class is chickenshit, most of the electorate is not

I talk to the press professionally, I'm really, really, really good at it.

So please, please believe me when say you cannot turn this interview request into anything good, it will do only harm. Harm to you, harm to your child, harm to other children.

This really hasn’t gotten enough attention this week.

Just went through this with my fairly young cat. I’m so sorry. It fucking sucks.

Oct. 15, 2025 PENTAGON PRESS ASSOCIATION STATEMENT Today, the Defense Department confiscated the badges of the Pentagon reporters from virtually every major media organization in America. It did this because reporters would not sign onto a new media policy over its implicit threat of criminalizing national security reporting and exposing those who sign it to potential prosecution. The Pentagon Press Association's members are still committed to reporting on the U.S. military. But make no mistake, today, Oct. 15, 2025 is a dark day for press freedom that raises concerns about a weakening U.S. commitment to transparency in governance, to public accountability at the Pentagon and to free speech for all.

SHE’LL BAN LINK BEFORE JESSE SINGAL??????

This morning, an attack carried out by Israeli forces killed Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) staff member, Omar Hayek, and seriously injured four others. The attack took place on a street where our teams were waiting to take a bus to the MSF field hospital in Deir al Balah, Gaza. All staff were wearing MSF vests, clearly identifying them as medical humanitarian workers. We express deep sorrow and outrage over the killing, which occurs less than two weeks after another MSF colleague, Hussein Alnajjar, was killed by the Israeli forces, in Deir Al Balah. Our thoughts are with Omar’s family and colleagues at this tragic time. Omar, 42 years old, is the fourteenth MSF colleague to be killed in Gaza since 7 October 2023.

MSF staff are universally understood to be engaged in an essentially sacred form of work. For a state to nonetheless continuously murder them is a testament to a truly unthinkable degree of depravity.

Whether they're blaming vaccines and Tylenol, or selling dubious "remedies," what they're really doing is promoting the perception that families (and especially mothers) can prevent and treat Autism. And thus also the perception that people with Autism and their families don't need social support.

I don't think it's simpering praise. He was an interesting man. I didn't agree with much that he said, but he was interesting and he was growing, and his death is a significant loss for those who believe engagement can help bridge disagreements.

I cannot get over how the entire centrist hivemind is attempting to wish into existence a person, and a movement, that does not exist. You are journalists, you are supposed to describe things as they are, not how you want them to be!

This isn’t stupidity, it’s a deliberate frame meant to convince people that solar&wind are unreliable at the exact moment that they have become cheaper and better in every way that fossil fuel & nuclear.This is about creating public opinion that can cut against the obviously better economic choice.

RFK Jr’s health department to halt $500m in mRNA vaccine research Agency to end 22 federal contracts, questioning safety of technology credited with helping end Covid pandemic

Hey, so, TOTALLY not suggesting that RFK Jr. BACKS DOWN when we PUSH BACK, BUT if you’d like to call…

HHS Toll-Free: 1-877-696-6775

PLEASE share and consider calling your senators and representatives as well.

NONE of this is okay.

To say that "the data show these vaccines fail" in regards to the mRNA plaform is unforgivable.

For those of you that don't remember - this is the data from a SINGLE dose. In December 2020. So good I cried in grateful tears.

CBS: U.S. Corporation for Public Broadcasting, funder of NPR and PBS, says it will end operations within months after federal budget cuts

This is going to ruin so many cis women's lives. They had to end it in the 2000's because it resulted in women having their lives destroyed, partners leaving them, family disowning them etc. After some high profile suicides and attempts , they had to stop.

KY Gov. Beshear on TV this morning: "200K of my people are going to lose their health care coverage. 20K health care workers are going to lose their job. This is the GOP majority firing Americans that right now have a good job & 35 rural hospitals may close, which will impact every single community"

There are people going "this policy is going to kill my disabled kid. They literally explicitly said that is their goal. They are trying, very hard, to kill my kid."

And others are like "dude you're being a doomer, really harshing the vibe"

There was essentially zero coverage of the disabled protest to stop Medicaid cuts. Capitol police dragged protesters out, many in wheelchairs, and arrested 34 people. It was barely a blip on the news because nobody really cares about the disabled.

Hungary banned anything that “promotes homosexuality,” which means Pride.

However, today over 500,000 people in Budapest told the government to fuck off. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

It is very cool and not concerning at all that rfk has replaced all of US government science admin with a bunch of weird pedophile antivax wellness influencers who can't help but outsource all their work to the machine that tells you that you can add gasoline to spaghetti sauce.

This is a fucking outrage.
