"Tylenol can't cause autism, autism came first!"

This is a terrible argument, stop making it. There are GOOD arguments against the claim, but this is obviously missing the point and makes you sound extremely ignorant to anyone who has looked into the issue.

My new piece is on the painfully slow process of scientific error-correction and how it harms real people all the time.

Also, why cinnamon probably isn't a useful treatment for diabetes.

The Hidden History of Trump’s First Trip to Moscow
In 1987, a young real estate developer traveled to the Soviet Union. The KGB almost certainly made the trip happen.

Trump says there must be "pain" for Americans in this idiotic trade war of his.

Ask yourself, what pain does TRUMP suffer?

What pain will the billionaire class suffer?

Why is it that when Republicans talk about pain and sacrifice, it's always YOU who suffers for their vision?

As Trump takes office & pledges mass deportations, here is a shareable film series written *by immigrants for immigrants* on how to safely defend against ICE.

The first of four: 🚨If ICE is outside your door, don’t panic. Don’t open the door. Ask to see a warrant. ICE can’t enter w/o one. Part 1:

Friends.
These are lots of my all-time favorite images. I'm letting them go, frankly out of desperation.
You can download them all and make prints or use as backgrounds on your devices.

One hot take that I would like to see vanish in the second Trump era is the thing of calling actual actions that harm people “a distraction.”

It’s the fascism AND the grift, folks. It’s not an either/or.

And anything that causes harm to vulnerable people deserves our full attention, period.

My spouse is everything. He is my cancer caregiver and is so caring, never questions me or my needs/wants, even if they are silly or annoying, and never ever complains that he has to care for me, even though I know sometimes it's very hard and stressful. ❤️

Trump:

- said its going to be hard to lower grocery prices
- is talking about joining multiple foreign conflicts
- is already walking back his “largest mass deportation ever!!” plan
- is nominating the most hawkish Cabinet I’ve seen

MAGA, yall feel played? Or just happy the Black lady lost?

New piece. Elon Musk wants to be the whole world’s unelected dictator.

I mean that literally.

The strategy is succeeding in the US. But it’s being implemented the world over.

It may be easy to dismiss because it sounds outlandish. He’s depending on that.

Chemo round 3 yesterday for my #SynovialSarcoma. 6th time fighting this horrific disease. I'm so incredibly exhausted of having to do this. New clinical trial opens later this year so we're trying to keep me stable for that.

congress will rubber stamp mass detention and deportations by handing yet more unaccountable power to local police (and in some cases, perhaps among these 48 people with a D next to their name, pretend that’s not exactly what they’re doing)
