In 2022, I counted more than 400 healthcare centers in the U.S. offering Long COVID care. @delfimarchese.bsky.social followed up three years later, and found many of them have closed... or at least failed to respond to our inquiries.

Every single video she makes about lead on this popular brand of “premium” glass baby bottle gets swarmed with paid bots (from the company) commenting “it’s not a big deal”…
dead internet theory but for lead poisoning is not something I had on my 2026 bingo card
The screaming subtext here is a call for ethnic cleansing, in a healthy pluralistic government he’d be censured and expelled
Screenshot of four different jobs from the NY Mag feature about what people make in NYC: "Home Health Aide $23,000 I've been a home health aide for ten years. My main patient last year was in Brooklyn. I spent most of my time taking care of her. I worked two days a week, and I was being paid for 13 hours of work each day - my agency, Loyal Home Care, budgets eight hours of sleep and three hours for mealtimes into our wages. But I was basically working 24 hours a day. She was active, and I was worried she would fall, so I would watch her all day and night. This is a pretty common experience for health aides. The agency can deny our overtime, but you can't deny a patient. When they say, "Oh, I need a drink of water; I need to use the bathroom," how could you possibly say "no" to them? Bronx Day-Care Worker $31,000 $16,600 from day-care profits $14,400 from trainings and consulting Last year, I lost a lot of kids. I live in the Bronx, and a bunch of families in my neighborhood lost their child-care vouchers. We're talking about people who make as much as I do; most of the moms I work with are home health aides. They can't afford full-time child care. If I have 16 kids, I can pay myself for 40 hours of work. But last year, I didn't, and obviously I'm still doing the same amount of work. I've been running the day care out of my home for more than seven years. It's a profession I entered out of necessity and have stayed in out of passion. I pay for everything - food, cleaning supplies, toys - and we have to meet the same requirements as a large company in terms of paying for liability insurance, which can feel pointless in this industry. I mean, if something happens to one of my children, I lose my license. End of story."
It's all so clear

The guy pardoned from a 22 year sentence for sedition. The coup succeeded.
After months of my mother exhorting me to, I finally started listening to “When We All Get to Heaven.” It is an astonishing podcast of archival tape and interviews about queer Christians at the height of the AIDS crisis. I started crying just minutes into it. It is a perfect listen for right now.
Yep. You’re going to say “fuck tha police” one day and a month later you won’t be able to get through TSA.
Let's be clear about what the "SAVE Act" is all about, another phase of the "rigged election" strategy. Trump is exploiting the voter fraud myth he created to pass laws and enact policies that will make it harder to vote, suppress votes, cause confusion, & sow distrust democracy. Rinse. Repeat.
They had names. They had beautiful faces. And they had the same dreams as your kids - crushed when American "precision" bombs slammed into their Minab elementary school, killing 175
Don't blame AI for this. Blame the sick humans who see war as a game
My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/iran...
I think this deserves at least as much sustained attention from US media as Claudine Gay's dissertation
Sonny Burton is set to be executed by the state of Alabama on Thursday. There is a direct line between a government that murders its own citizens and the devaluing of life abroad. The sin has always started at home.
Crucially important read:
The DHS is abusing its power to brand American protesters as terrorists.
WSJ: 181 of the 279 “people accused by officials on X of attacking federal officers in the past year” are U.S. citizens.
About 1/2 never charged.
0 convicted.

North Tehran’s Aqdasiyeh oil depot is ablaze tonight after it was targeted by multiple US-Israeli airstrikes. Apocalyptic scenes filmed by Iranians driving on the nearby highway. Local reporters saying firefighters can’t put it out. This depot is critical energy infrastructure for Iran.
As evidence, the filing notes a list Mr. Fox compiled of what he called the "craziest" and "other bad" grants, which he planned to highlight on DOGE's X account. He used three dozen keywords, including "L.G.B.T.Q.""BIPOC," "tribal, "ethnicity," "gender," "equality," "immigration "citizenship" and "melting pot." (A majority of the two dozen grants deemed "craziest" related to L.G.B.T.Q. subjects.) In the deposition, Mr. Fox said the list reflected his "subjective" judgment about whether a grant might be out of line with Mr. Trump's executive order. "Crazy' is one way of saying it," he said. "Most incriminating' is another way."
Why did I think they simply canceled all of them. Nope it was discriminatory
Sunny is free. We are so glad that she is with family and on the way home. Sunny and her 5 coworkers were taken to Broadview and then moved to Juneau, Wisconsin where they were finally released from ICE custody. We were lied to the entire time about her location. DHS needs to answer for this.
Newly released footage shows an ICE agent killing Rubin Ray Martinez, 23, in his car in Texas.
"He was shot at point-blank range through his side window by an ICE agent who was in no danger."

Update: Sarah Afzul, the woman's sister, told me that Naqvi has been released from a detention facility in Wisconsin, where she was transferred overnight and they've been reunited with her
Rocky Myers, a Black man from Decatur, Alabama, is still locked up for a crime he didn’t commit. His lawyer, former corporate counsel for the United Klans of America, told me if he had to do it all over again, he’d seat an all-white jury this time. Please take a moment with this story.
It's the middle of the night in Chicago. Reporters and electeds are trying to figure out why a US citizen was detained by CBP, why her phone was inside an ICE detention center tonight, and where she is now.
Also unclear what happened to the other five people she was detained with at O'Hare airport.
Again. This matters.
If the US spent that money on education, health care, and helping people, then we wouldn't have enough people in precarious positions to conscript for our war profit machine.
SCOOP — Body camera footage obtained as a result of my lawsuit against the DC Metropolitan PD confirms DOGE and the Trump administration openly admitted they were entering private property when they raided the building on March 17, 2025. That didn't stop MPD from breaking down the doors.
My report:
Two white nationalists I exposed in a recent article showed up to try to intimidate me in person last night.
This is a press freedom issue.
Here’s what happened:
"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed."

oh — is THIS why all my French books are perfect little pocket-size books? my favorite type of book to read!
After a federal appeals board barred most detained immigrants from seeking bond, filings challenging their confinement surged in Wisconsin and nationwide. Wisconsin judges have ruled for detainees more than half the time. wisconsinwatch.org/2026/03/wisc... (@wisconsinwatch.org)
In every Republican presidency of my lifetime there's been a recession and a new war in the Middle East.
