New Yorkers know Attorney General James for who she is: a champion for justice who fights relentlessly for the people. Donald Trump knows her only as an obstacle to his corruption.

Stephanie and Najia started "Deafies for Zohran" to make this movement accessible to their community. They even created a signature hand sign for “Zohran.”

The flew the entire military leadership in so they could see for themselves that the Secretary of Defense is a mouthbreathing dipshit and the Commander in Chief is a senile, weak old man who might keel over at any moment.

You may not be interested in politics, but politics is interested in you. This is not new news.

Nor is someone coming on my timeline acting if they know a lot about something they do not.

UNTIL IT'S DONE, Ep. 2

When the Brownsville Clinic opened in 1916, it was the first birth control center in America. Its very existence felt impossible. For young women, it was a lifeline.

109 years later, the Clinic is long closed—but Brownsville mothers are still struggling.

When Joint Terrorism Task Forces were first set up, people predicted they could eventually be used by an authoritarian government to go after political enemies. And now they are.

Sickening behavior by this agent. The fact that Mayor Adams has rolled out the red carpet for ICE is a stain on our city.

Brad Lander @bradlander.bsky.social · 17d

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

My favorite NYC bookstore, Bluestockings, posted on their social media that they are closing after 26 years. Terrible news.

Bluestockings Cooperative will be closing as of today. The current, former worker-owners, and staff part of the sunsetting crew are gutted to be delivering this news. After 26+ years of serving marginalized communities as an independent feminist bookstore, event hub, and all around radical community space, the daily operations are unfortunately no longer sustainable on multiple fronts.

So kids without these autoantibodies wouldn’t be benefited even in theory,m.

Noah Popp @noahpopp.bsky.social · 21d

One other thing: even in a best case scenario leucovorin would only help some people with autism - if i recall the theorized mechanism is that it has to do with certain missing antibodies that only some people on the spectrum lack - but at a much higher rate than people not on the spectrum.

But it’s also important not to pretend like there is “nothing” there otherwise it can undermine the credibility of those who rightly are extremely skeptical of RFK and Trump on autism when they see there are these promising studies.
