Dr. Teresa Iturriaga is an incredible resource, and one-of-a-kind! We are so lucky to have her.

Also, I didn't know CUP had over 400k fungal specimens!

CNN: “An older couple making $85K/year will see their yearly insurance premiums jump from $7K to $25,000 — 30% of their income.” 😳#TrumpShutdown #TrumpHealthCareTax

This is what Dems are drawing attention to and want fixed. Now, not later.

Donald Trump himself has taken an interest in this election. Do you know why? All of these groups and people know that this seat can be flipped tomorrow and that thought scares them. If you look at their actions and not what they’re saying in the media you’ll realize just how afraid they are.

They’re afraid that working people are paying attention. That they’ve finally had enough. Afraid that voters are sick of being spoken for. Afraid that District 7 might choose someone who actually represents their community. That’s what you have a chance to do tomorrow.Together we can flip this seat!

Richard and Laurie Eckman weren’t screaming or being violent. They were just standing outside the ICE building in Portland, holding space at a peaceful protest. Richard even wore his veteran cap. All they were guilty of was standing around with a sign.

Trump has to rush his consolidation of power before he’s debilitatingly unpopular. That’s what authoritarians do.

What we do is organize massive, peaceful resistance that unifies the opposition, retakes power, and ushers in an era of accountability & reform: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i... #NoKings

I’m horrified by Trump’s order to send 300 National Guard troops to Chicago. We’re only nine months into a four year term and already the president is trying to invade an American city. If you’re in the Guard, you can and should refuse these orders.

A relentless propaganda campaign, combined with MAGA politicians, billionaires, media complicity, and institutional cowardice placed these buffoons in charge.

With the crucial contributions of @walkerbragman.bsky.social that’s the story I tell.

The sequel to We Want Them Infected is done!

COVID killed 1.2 million Americans while vaccines saved millions.

Yet, disinformation superspreaders were empowered, where they are taking a wrecking ball to science & medicine.

How did that happen?🧵

Mario and his family are being punished for his reporting. This cruelty is meant to stifle our free press.
