6 people have died from a nationwide listeria outbreak.

31 babies have been hospitalized with botulism from contaminated baby formula.

Instead of firing crucial FDA employees & attacking the agency, Trump should be hiring more experts to crack down on these dangerous outbreaks.

thank you for watching me talk about PBS Kids so I can donate money to PBS Kids and we can support the team. It's like a circular loop that leads to 0.03% of a Donkey Hodie episode being produced.

Moments ago: tenants of the South Shore apartment building that federal immigration agents raided at the end of September held a presser to announce they're forming a tenants union.

They're demanding, among other things, sewage removal and heat and electricity restroration.

More updates TK.

I know this isn't the point but chiropractor is still on the list of 'professional' degrees.

playing doctor dress up counts as professional when a man does it apparently. chiropractors are scammers but this admin loves that I guess.

Certain students may no longer receive the same loan for their studies as what counts as "professional" will determine how much they get.

Fucking awful, and also highlights why having independent local media that doesn't just reprint law enforcement press releases is essential for holding people accountable.

“Two Black women said they were denied immediate medical attention despite being minutes away from giving birth.

“The incidents, which happened days apart in different states, highlight long-standing disparities in health outcomes for Black women, health experts say.”
Black mothers in Texas and Indiana say hospital staff ignored cries for care while they were in labor
“It was really a horrific situation to be treated like a dog, or not even like a dog, like less than,” mother Mercedes Wells said.

341,000 Black women are still missing from the labor force since the pandemic began. This is the most educated female cohort in the country, and more than half are breadwinners for households with children. Erasing their economic participation undercuts today’s stability and tomorrow’s workforce.

this is so fucked
Since February, according to my latest analysis, almost 600,000 Black women have been economically sidelined. The November 20, 2025, Jobs Report makes clear this isn’t a blip. It’s a structural crisis. That is not a recovery. It is a redistribution of opportunity.

This isn’t a blip. It’s a structural crisis. And it's not a recovery, it's a redistribution of opportunity.

if i was making this video today i would spend more time convincing the students what a scam it is that Unis are charging you $2000 for a course they care so little about they havnt hired the teacher yet or seen the syllabus until two days before the class starts
This (youtu.be/2AvfOhtmCZY?...) is an older @acollierastro.bsky.social video I must have missed, but it is brilliant in explaining the intensity of the bullshit of the adjunct system, for students and instructors.

11 years ago today, 12 year old Tamir Rice was gunned down by police officers on Cleveland’s west side.

The officer shot him within seconds of arriving at the park he was playing in.

Tamir’s life mattered. It still does. My thoughts are with his family today.

Nathaniel Hawthorne added the “w” to his family name because he was ashamed of his great-great-grandfather, a judge in the Salem witch trials.
it is interesting, all family trees have that one ancestor they're really ashamed of, and now we're seeing the making of those ancestors in realtime. three, four, five generations down the road these will be the people everyone wishes they didn't have blood-ties to and skims over their lives.
DOJ is now recruiting for immigration judges by calling them “deportation judges.”

That’s seems really bad.

Dipshit is smashing out a car window with his gun, barrel first. Just rogue, cowboy stiff.

There were two US citizens in the car. They were apprehended and detained for “obstructing” ICE by honking their horn to let people know ICE was in the neighborhood.

get a little bit sad when I see Mitch in the news and it’s not the news
Mitch McConnell:

“Putin has spent the entire year trying to play Trump for a fool. If Administration officials are more concerned with appeasing Putin than securing real peace, then the President ought to find new advisors. Rewarding Russian butchery would be disastrous to America’s interests”

Linda McMahon does not have the power to dismantle the Department of Education. Only Congress does.

This is an illegal assault on our public school children. If this continues, millions of students, teachers, and families will pay the price. I’ll keep fighting back.

Cw: suicide
This article is devastating.

Earlier this month, a 15-year-old died by suicide the day after posting about a substitute teacher insisting on misgendering him.

Suicide can have many contributing factors. His family is speaking out about bullying and misgendering as two.

I liked the book though!
