My family is not safe. My son has been taken on the gov's orders, and I've had to send my husband and daughter out of state for their safety. THIS is the reality of living in DeSantis' Florida. There is no freedom here. Only retaliatory rule by a fascist who wishes to be king

the american healthcare system is actually perfect if you’re a healthy person with no teeth or eyes

After decimating Indigenous groups in the Amazon and evading a $9.5 billion pollution judgement in Ecuador, @Chevron is now reporting a $75 billion buyback of its own stock. How the rich get richer while the poor die. This company should lose its license to operate.

BREAKING: A widely-circulated photo clearly shows members of the SWAT team in Atlanta that killed climate activist Manuel Terán were wearing body cameras. Terán's mother says her child was assassinated. So where is the footage? @defendATLforest @GBI_GA

@aazadmmn @HarmitMalik Out of curiosity, what are the studies that have grabbed your attention?

I've been asked a lot recently about fall school masking plans for my kids. (I should have posted sooner but I needed Twitter down time.) The short answer is that mask strategy hasn't changed, and that schools are unquestionably more dangerous than this time last year. 1/19

When Robyn’s 3 year-old grand baby entered foster care, she thought she could get custody. It would take 6 years—3 years of fighting the system & 3 years of fighting the foster parents—for Robyn to adopt her grandbaby. Her story is now the center of the Brackeen SCOTUS case.

I grew up in Pakistan, which gets really, really unbearably hot in the summer. Here are some tips on how to manage the heat. 🧵

The texts show that Best had at least one conversation with former Mayor Jenny Durkan about this, and that she was aware of a plan to move evidence, firearms, and ammo from the EP. This is a completely different story than she told @SeattleOPA investigators and the media.

BuzzFeed News is dismantling our award-winning investigations team. So this is my last investigative project for the newsroom. I hope you'll give it a read and share it. I think our findings are pretty damning and worthy of your time.

I've been waiting 3 months for a consult w Costco's HVAC contractor about replacing my gas furnace w a heat pump. He shows up today and tells me Seattle's noise regs make it nearly impossible to install one in the city. Has anyone else encountered this?
