THREAD: I got laid off from NYMag/Vulture after 14 years. The family lost 75% of income + medical. Now mzs.press bookstore, once a side project. is do-or-die for Judith & I. I feel weird telling you this because others are doing much worse. But if you could like or share this, we'd be so grateful!
You can't... repeal... a scientific finding. At that point it's just called lying about it.
these videos have raised more than $180,000(!) for a variety of urgent causes over the last few years.

I've been reposting everyone replying to this post with their own ACA (and sometimes employer!) price hikes. Feel free to add yours. There is some comfort in knowing you aren't alone and knowing we'll all be voting on this issue in a year.
Chuck Schumer should be chucked out. #chuckchuck
Sarah holds up an eel facts advent calendar in front of blooming flowers on her sidewalk. It says eel facts an advent calendar. It has 24 boxes with orange and yellow zigzags and yellow circles in the middle with numbers one through 24 in the middle of the boxes there are six eels depicted on this calendar, one green Moray, two splendid garden eels, one blue and yellow ribbon eel, and one American eel and one European.
This year we have sold 31% of the advent calendars that we sold last year 😓
The art is so pretty and colorful 🥺
The facts are so good 🥺
Eels are so cool 🥺

This is your friendly reminder that Obamacare isn’t just the exchanges! It’s a set of laws that force insurance companies to actually. You know, insure people!! You can read my full graphic explainer here: aubreyhirsch.substack.com/p/it-could-b...
the flag and seal of Virginia, showing Virtue triumphant over Tyranny with the text “sic semper tyrannis”
that’s my flag 🫡
I just donated to my local food bank. If you can, you should too. People are already suffering but next month, in particular, is going to be so difficult.
Ten years ago yesterday, I wrote a story that changed the next decade of my life.
I hate that it matters more today — I mean specifically, today — than it ever has before. I hate it, I hate it, I hate it.
But here it is.

D.C. has more residents than two U.S. states. They pay more per capita in federal taxes than any other state.
But they don’t get a serious seat at the table to decide how they’re governed.
D.C. statehood now.
Please help boost this video by commenting liking or sharing! It’s an important one and I want to make sure people know what’s going on.
This is critical reporting from ProPublica and I’ll have more context at my newsletter, Abortion, Every Day.
the president does not actually have the power to fire a university president or a museum director, but if elites simply roll over under pressure, then effectively he does
Every flashbang could instead be a meal for a poor kid. Every hotel room for a National Guardsman deployed to fire at our neighbors could house a homeless vet. Every "less-than-lethal" bullet pulled from a journalist's eye could be already needed healthcare for anyone else. All of this is a choice.
No, Trump is NOT defending mifepristone
Who Does the SAVE Act Impact? 1 in 3 American Women lack proof of citizenship documents with their current legal name. Institute for Responsive Government
69M married women could lose their voting rights if the SAVE Act is passed. Transgender individuals too.
Why? Absent a valid passport, you must present a birth certificate *with the same name as your registration* to be registered.
This is insane!
Hands Off Her Vote
This is cool. The Guardian recreated a searchable climate future risk tool (wildfire, extreme heat, drought, hurricane, and coastal flood) for the US that was developed by FEMA but deleted by the Trump administration’s ‘climate’ purge.
President Trump is abusing emergency powers to impose tariffs on Canada that will raise prices for American families and alienate one of our closest allies — so I’m forcing a vote to challenge him.

RFK is a eugenics freak first and foremost and everything falls downstream from that. he *wants* excess deaths. he thinks that only the "fit" should survive.
NEW: At the National Religious Broadcasters conference, an evangelical Christian gathering, activists openly debated plans to overturn same-sex marriage.
Experts say the threat isn’t individual efforts but a broad campaign — which is how Roe v. Wade was overturned. religionnews.com/2025/03/26/s...
The ACA was cool because before the ACA you could hit your lifetime maximum before you were a month old and be denied insurance for the rest of your life and after the ACA that’s illegal.
Y'all.

I've asked Major League Baseball's Vice President of Communications if Major League Baseball has any comment on the DoD erasing Jackie Robinson's page from the site and changing the URL to "DEI Sports." I'll update this story if and when the league weighs in. www.cupofcoffeenews.com/cup-of-coffe...
these people swore an oath to defend the constitution but i guess that’s just too hard
If you breathe in for 4 seconds, hold for 7, and exhale for 8, it tells your body you’re safe. This slows your heart rate, relaxes your nervous system, and helps shift you out of fight-or-flight mode. Now do it.
Text of the Virginia Human Rights Act that includes protections on account of gender identity.
Code of Virginia defining medically necessary transition-related care.
Just as a reminder, separate from the executive orders being blocked in federal court, the Code of Virginia explicitly prohibits discrimination on account of gender identity.
On Friday night, HHS ordered CDC to take down all flu vaccine campaign materials from its website. Materials are starting to come down.
For example, a campaign explaining that flu shot can reduce flu severity from "wild to mild" is now offline. Left image is from Friday, right is now
Meanwhile...
Repeating "executive orders are not laws" really loudly and over and over seems like a useful endeavor
