This is the story tonight. Every Dem who was in that room should be telling us what they saw.

Just a reminder for #historians that I am constantly updating this list of *online* and *open access* collections of radical historical documents. Nearly 1000 listed from around the world in many languages!

Your job now, as an American, is quite simple: For the entire summer, whenever you come across a republican congressman, you ask him the same question @laurenwindsor.bsky.social asked Matt Gaetz: "Are you a pedophile. You hide the Epstein file, is it because you're a pedophile?"

Saving this for when I teach on the ACA to my undergrads, who do not remember a time when people with preexisting conditions could not be covered.

He's a U.S. citizen, arrested by ICE anyway, so he gets fired from his job

In Spring 2022, we had a "return to campus." I sought a waiver & made my class remote. At multiple points in the semester, 30-75% of my class was out sick with COVID.

'We're citizens!': Oklahoma City family traumatized after ICE raids home, but they weren't suspects A woman says her family’s fresh start in Oklahoma turned into a nightmare after federal immigration agents raided their home, taking their phones, laptops, and life savings – even though they were …

Please highlight this story.

ICE stormed into the wrong house, trashed the place, and made women/girls stand outside in the rain in their underwear. ICE also stole phones, laptops, and cash savings from the family, who moved to OKC two weeks ago.

American Nurses Association Statement on Leaked HHS Budget Nursing-specific science and research is uniquely positioned to inform the health care delivery system on evidence-based approaches to patient-centered, quality care.

Nurses are the unsung heroes of public health.

The leaked FY 2026 HHS budget could eliminate the National Institute of Nursing Research (NINR) and most Title VIII Nursing Workforce Development Programs, which support nursing research, education, and training.

Video shows doctor with measles treating kids. RFK Jr later praised him as an β€˜extraordinary’ healer A video shows a Texas doctor, who has been treating children in a measles outbreak, with a measles rash on his face in a clinic while caring for patients a week before he met with Health Secretary Rob...

Basic infection prevention & control - It is NEVER ok for a healthcare provider with measles to treat patients while infectious - this physician should’ve stayed home and not put his patients at risk.

Texas Banned Abortion. Then Sepsis Rates Soared. ProPublica’s first-of-its-kind analysis is the most detailed look yet into a rise in life-threatening complications for women experiencing pregnancy loss under Texas’ abortion ban.

Dozens more pregnant and postpartum women have died in Texas hospitals since the state banned abortion, our analysis shows.

As the maternal mortality rate dropped nationally, it rose in Texas by 33%.

All of the myths and fantasies we’re hearing about protesters being terrorists, immigrants invading & fentanyl being a WMD should be understood in the context of a pending report from the DOD & DHS (due April 20) about whether Trump should invoke the Insurrection Act. These people want martial law.

The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

In 25 years of covering national security, I’ve never seen a story like this: Senior Trump officials discussed planning for the U.S. attack on Yemen in a Signal group--and inadvertently added the editor-in-chief of The Atlantic. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

@bedoyaftc.bsky.social had me in tears. Not kidding. What kind of a top-level political appointee can write like this?

(Thank you, humanities education + his mama!)

His piece is like the antidote to anti-DEIA propaganda. It's pride-FULL just like what Irish Americans write about their history.

Women in science: raise your hand if a man was ever given (or took) credit for an innovation you pioneered. So many of us🀚have stories. It causes harm.

Everybody in science: see this example of how it can be directly addressed. Congrats @clarerevans.bsky.social on a brilliant statistical invention.

In a 2nd email plea, this sharp lawyer properly told his bosses what they were doing was "anticipatory fraud" aimed at screwing workers. Like they've done in other agencies.

If Mr. Rillotta still has a job, I think it's just 1, 2, 3 countdown til he's gone.

Outright thuggery. A hearing has been scheduled in the USIP lawsuit as of 2:00 this afternoon on a motion for a TRO. Seems likely a lot of stuff will be destroyed just in the interim, because the DOGE folks know they can smash quickly before the pushback from the courts.

a) This is an important thread as yet another illustration of how harsh US immigration law has been for decades.

b) the angry replies on how OP is 'excusing' what happened show just how unaware most people are of that longstanding harshness. Dude's just accurately describing the law.
