Thank you to the Addie Brady Foundation , Snarky Cancer, everyone who gave generously, bought shirts... and our incredible anonymous donor, who made it possible for 27 families to breathe a little easier today. The generosity is overwhelming.

Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts.

Starting this Friday 3-14 in Washington DC.
One week away.
We need MASSIVE NUMBERS THERE
This is NOT a nationwide protest. This is a DC protest. Anyone saying otherwise is not part of this. We need people in DC. That’s where government is and they need to see us.

People with LFS have a 70% to nearly 100% risk of developing cancer due to a mutation of the TP53 tumor suppressor gene. Knowing you have this risk could save your life! If you have a family history of cancer, consider genetic testing - a simple blood test. Follow Living LFS to learn more.

We only know this because of research, dammit.

My financial support of @whatthefuckjusthappenedtoday.com is long overdue so I just put a tip in their PayPal tip jar. For a short, daily, no BS update on the shock and awe in national US politics, they are an invaluable way to stay informed without losing your mind.
Yes, I had to pause production of the podcast until I can find a way to make it financially sustainable. I hope to bring it back again

@whatthefuckjusthappenedtoday.com @mattjis.bsky.social @jamditis.bsky.social are you no longer doing WTFJHT as a podcast? I listen to an entire week's worth during a long drive each weekend and find it really helpful. Thanks for all you do!

Senator Schiff, please share your plan to fight fascism in America.
History is littered with democracies that lost their freedoms without seeming to notice while it was happening.

Let’s not become one of them.

Let me get this straight––Trump wants to take away money from protecting airports, intercepting drug dealers, and stopping cyber criminals, so he can pay for his plan to separate and deport immigrant families? www.nbcnews.com/politics/nat...
