Turns out the REAL "2000 Mules" were the "True the Vote" bozos, personally profiting from their "non-profit." #Grift @propublica @propublicaIL

A pessimist sleeps with a knife under the pillow.

So does an optimist. Someone might stop by bringing cake.

Sweet grifting jesus! Elise Stefanik is fundraising off the Trump indictment and the fine print is something to behold:

A $250 donation to the “OFFICIAL TRUMP DEFENSE FUND,” for example, breaks down to $247.50 for Stefanik and $2.50 for the Trump Save America Joint Fundraising Committee.

A $500 donation translates to $495 for Stefanik and $5 for Trump.

A $3,300 donation breaks down to $3,267 for Stefanik and $33 for Trump.

#Trump's speeches are getting even more deranged. This man has a realistic chance of being president again. Act accordingly. https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2023/6/10/2174612/-Trump-speaks-dangerous-nonsense-to-Georgia-and-North-Carolina-Republicans

@TaiMunro @academicchatter
I have not graded for 2 years at the college level, have iterated an ungrading approach with a collective that regularly meets monthly, we have been meeting for 2+ years. Unfortunately most are still on the bird app.
Would be nice to develop a #ungrading community here.

It’s clear Trump “understood exactly what he was doing,” says Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD), and even if he didn’t, that’s “no excuse.”

“If you think it's lawful to rob the bank, if you really need the money badly, that doesn't excuse you're robbing the bank.” #velshi https://www.msnbc.com/ali-velshi/watch/rep-raskin-trump-understood-perfectly-what-the-law-required-181704773549

'Let Me Finish!' Lindsey Graham Has Full Meltdown Over Trump Indictment https://crooksandliars.com/2023/06/let-me-finish-lindsey-graham-has-full?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon

Oh, so when the then Prince Charles demanded homeopathy (a pseudoscientific quack remedy) be made available on the NHS we had to fund it for years, but now the international, thoroughly validated standard of care that saves young trans people's lives is regarded as insufficiently evidenced.

Either healthcare is evidence-based or it is a political football kicked around by the non-clinicians with the most bully-power. But we cannot have both.

We finally have malaria vaccines. The next hurdle: Distributing them. https://www.vox.com/future-perfect/23755531/malaria-vaccines-progress-logistics-challenges-africa

Denver Post is looking to interview Long Covid patients:

"Have you had long COVID? The Denver Post wants to talk to you"

"While life has largely returned to normal for most people, COVID-19 and its after-effects are still around.

Reporter Meg Wingerter is working on an article about how people with long COVID are recovering, or not recovering, in the fourth year of the pandemic."

I know we're all focused on the Trump indictment - and rightly so! - but the SCOTUS decision on racial gerrymandering in Alabama is arguably at least as important for the future of democracy. Here's a nice commentary on the decision:
