RFK decided to once again target maskers in a speech, laughing about going to LA and seeing people driving in their cars while masked. And I want to make sure people know that studies have shown that the reason someone might wear a mask in their car is that it's none of your fucking business.

Two particularly notable things that stand out to me in Beth’s story: - Both her triggering infections were almost entirely asymptomatic - She is an *Olympic athlete* which leaves absolutely no room for those recurring ideas that it’s all down to “not trying hard enough” or “fear of exercise” 🙄

I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

People are complaining that for two hours in the early morning on one single day, the Exploratorium in San Francisco will require respirator masks. Never mind that this allows disabled and immune compromised kids to safely share in something they’re otherwise excluded from. Fuck them kids.

Please stop saying “lockdowns.” There were never true lockdowns in the US, and it fuels far right narratives to repeat this inaccurate statement. You can say closures, you can say restrictions, or better, you can say public health measures which saved many lives.

Our buddy @bjcolangelo.bsky.social needs a little help from her friends (and I'm a bully). BJ needs what is, essentially, a full mouth replacement thanks to cancer radiation. We can't eliminate the dental trauma, but we can help with the life-altering debt. www.gofundme.com/f/bj-needs-a...

So ICE has thugs wearing “media” vests and masks filming protesters, something that is totally normal in a democracy www.ctinsider.com/news/article...

Another person has died in ICE custody. 33-year-old Denny Adán González died on Tuesday in Georgia. Authorities claim he died by suicide. González is the 18th person to die in ICE custody this year—this is also the 18th week of 2026.

Israel kidnapped 211 European Nationals this morning 1,000km from Israel, for committing the great crime of trying to bring food to Gaza where people are dying every day from starvation. You won't see this on the news though, and no major politician will mention it.

Film you've watched more than six times with a gif. hard mode: no star wars, star trek, lotr, dc, marvel, disney, pixar, dreamworks, spielberg, cameron, wachowskis, or ghibli.

Every time I see someone talk about Claude I think about how they switched from female to male names as soon as they wanted the robots to seem like experts vs personal assistants.

Please use alt-text on your images, and if you need reminders, you can go into your settings & activate the option to have it automatically require you to add alt-text before it'll let you post. Let's keep this place meaningfully accessible.

i had to triple check that this wasn't from a parody account

Hey, look at Substack promoting Andrew Tate as the #1 new bestseller. The company's amoral leadership & backers will platform anyone, even ludicrously toxic rapists & human traffickers.

Man idk how to express how demoralizing it is to see people doing joke support for the Pope as the Catholic Church implements the most draconian trans healthcare ban anywhere in the US. It's a FULL ADULT TRANS HEALTHCARE BAN!!!THEY KEEP BUYING MORE HOSPITALS!!!!!!! Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

this is why there’s been mass revolt and opposition to data centers being built in communities. it is genuinely a health hazard to live this close to something emitting this much sound. these need to stop being built

Science is good. We should fund it.

there's a lot of terrible stuff going on right now but don't think that means it's okay to not use alt text, you are still not being the person mr rogers believed you capable of being when you refuse. please be a helper thank you

I am so angry. Two Durham, NC kids - 11-year-old Genesis and 6-year-old Denis of Burton Elementary Magnet School - were taken by ICE at their regular asylum case appointment, and immediately deported without due process. Follow SiembraNC on IG or FB or @siembranc.bsky.social for next action steps.

BREAKING: in March 2026, *every single one* of the 1,341 refugees admitted in the United States were white South Africans: In FY 2026, the U.S. has admitted a total of 4,496 white South Africans, three Afghans (back in November), and nobody else. www.rpc.state.gov/documents/Re...

There is no ceasefire in Lebanon. Israel has been bombing Lebanon non-stop since last night. If anything Israel is expanding its war on Lebanon. You are being lied to

So pro-life means jailing women who miscarry but shrugging when the deranged president says “a whole civilization will die tonight.” Do I have that right?

passion inspires science inspires love inspires art, even—especially—amidst so much darkness. hope you take a moment to listen n look up ♥️ www.tiktok.com/t/ZTkBVoMP2/

Senator Warnock:

pretty clear bright line today, anyone in power who isn't doing everything they can to remove him from office deserves handcuffs when this is all over. that includes any democrat who votes for anything he wants

i can't help but note, as i listen to the NASA livestream, that all the most meaningful parts of the artemis mission are the human ones. nothing artificial can top organic intelligence, and all that blooms from our connections.

Isn’t it weird how “AI literacy” being pushed on students isn’t about learning how it works, the cost of how it works, learning to spot disinformation, media and tech literacy. But instead is just “employers will like it if you get it to write your emails :)”

Israeli soldiers are detonating entire villages in South Lebanon while taking selfies. Ancient mosques, churches, cemeteries, schools, hospitals - all being obliterated by the genocidal regime www.instagram.com/reel/DWrg5xi...

evergreen.

Trump has not “given” the USPS special control over mail ballots because that is not a thing that is his to give. PLEASE STOP PRETENDING THAT THE CARNIVAL BARKER HAS MAGIC POWERS JUST BECAUSE HE SAYS HE HAS MAGIC POWERS.
