Questions

Nearly 2/3 of abortions in America are medication abortions. 1/4 are prescribed via telemedicine. The far-right's focus on banning receiving mifepristone by mail is part of their goal to ban abortion access everywhere.

Last year half of CDC’s Vessel Sanitation Program staff were fired. This is the group responsible for investigating cruise ship outbreaks. The cuts were made despite the fact that US taxpayers don’t pay for this team. The cruise ship industry does.

@XianJaneway He has such dark circles under his eyes. Isn’t the incubation period a few weeks for Andes Hantavirus?

He left after the first death, because the doctor onboard told him he wasn't infectious. That doctor is now sick. 💔 The point is, WE DON'T KNOW if you're infectious or not, bc this is a completely new transmission route.

At what point are we going to start calling it what it is? This isn’t brave. It’s selfish.

@1goodtern You put your link in the first post. Don’t those get suppressed? Neat idea though.

I am very much looking forward to joining in #GlobalBigDay celebrating birds worldwide. Download the Merlin bird identification app to join in ❤️👇 merlin.allaboutbirds.org/celebrate-bird…

Guards at ICE detention facilities are violently abusing our immigrant neighbors. Firing chemical agents and pepper spray. Beating and tasing prisoners just for asking for food, water, and medical care. Shut these detention camps down. Free our neighbors. Abolish ICE.

This probably needs our support. Why? Because it's getting hammered by the antivaxers.

The FBI raided Little St James in 2019. They took 5 computers, 3 external drives, 27 CDs. None of this evidence was presented at Maxwell's trial. The defense never saw it.

"If you give the rich tax breaks, they'll lower prices for everyone else." No, they won't. Want proof? Every single MLB team owner is in the richest 0.1% and receives hundreds of thousands of dollars in tax breaks every year. And it now costs an average $225 to attend a game.

@adgirlMM Gas prices here in Western Washington state at the cheapest gas station close to me are reg $5.29, pls $5.55, sup $5.75 and diesel $6.45. The other day I paid $5.19 which was the most I've ever paid for gas. I've been driving since the late 80's. Remove MAGA from every office.

California is showing the world a top 5 economy can grow AND be green! “For the first time, California discharged just over 12,000 MWs, equivalent to 12 large nuclear plants, of energy from its battery arrays. That’s enough to meet over 40% of the state’s energy demand.” “More than 60 percent of the state’s electricity generation came from carbon-free sources last year.”

For most of its history, the Met Gala was a high-society dinner to raise money for the Costume Institute. It only became about themes and costumes about 20 years ago. The focus on celebs and spectacle has brought more money and creativity, but at the same time, public criticism.

@GovPressOffice @forgoodnessakes And why are at least 1/3 of the “ball room donors” also in the Epstein files? I spent months cross referencing the names and associations. open.substack.com/pub/amberspeak…

@IrishTimes Thank you for taking a stand and reporting on this.

The health insurance industry hopes you never hear this: Medicare for All would save the average American family over $12,000 a year. Gone: monthly premiums. No premiums. No deductibles. No copays. No surprise bills. No “out-of-network” traps. No $500 ambulance bill months later. That is why they spend $150 million a year lobbying Congress.

🚨 Marjorie Taylor Greene just confirmed what many of us have suspected. The eight-week government shutdown was orchestrated by Trump to prevent the release of the Epstein files. MTG said it. Not a journalist. Not a Democrat. His own ally. The same files Pam Bondi is in contempt of Congress for hiding. The same files the DOJ inspector general is now investigating. The same files the war was started to bury. It was never about the budget. Never stop connecting the dots.

Remember when federal workers were ordered to send weekly “5 things I accomplished” reports to Elon Musk and DOGE—with silence potentially treated as resignation? That was the moment a lot of people realized unelected billionaires were no longer operating quietly behind the scenes.

James Talarico: “Young people can’t afford to buy a home, but Jeff Bezos has 12. Young people can’t afford to fill up their gas tank, but Mark Zuckerberg is launching helicopters from his mega-yacht. Young people pay more than their fair share of income taxes, but someone like Elon Musk can get away without paying a penny”

Journalism taught me how quickly society labels uncomfortable subjects as “crazy” or conspiracy before seriously examining the evidence. I never stopped listening to experiencers, pilots, whistleblowers, or survivors. But spending months deep in the Epstein files made me understand just how powerful ridicule can be as a form of social control.
