The first time Dan asked me to be on the dig in 2018, I agreed and then had a full panic attack during the recording and Dan was like “uh…. Don’t worry we can do it later.” Today, we bring you that “later.”
So pleased my long-planned interview with @_danielle_carr is out on @thedigradio! On history and present state of American unwellness and how that’s been shaped by psychiatry, prescription drugs, neuroscience, popular culture, smartphones and social media—and so much more. Link👇
I don't really understand how anyone thought the American people were gonna rally to save USAID, given that the entire Biden administration (including genocide expert/USAID Administrator Samantha Power) spent a year telling us that genocide was nothing to get worked up about.

As we knew was going to happen, they're now saying they're going to prioritize denaturalizing citizens. We knew that was what they were working towards and that they aren't going to stop there. Being quiet, seeing how far they will go is not an option. thehill.com/policy/nationa…
A reminder, as this country eats itself: if you’ve been silent on Gaza for 22 months, your posts, op-eds, or novels about the fascist takeover of America are worthless. Nothing but safe, careerist, low-hanging fruit. The great moral test of our era is one you have already failed
Lowkey do please stop posting about Brianna wu. Love u guys but this is a “if you hate something don’t talk about it” type of situation
Point of clarification: the Haaretz article reported on IDF forces firing on Palestinians, something already well-documented. The AP video/story is about contractors, and I believe it's the first time we've seen evidence of Americans directly killing Palestinians since 10/7.
For all the people who scoffed at @haaretzcom and cast doubt on their reporting…
🚨 NEW: Kilmar Abrego Garcia has officially detailed the torture he endured inside El Salvador’s CECOT mega-prison. In a federal court filing, he says he: – Lost 31 pounds in two weeks – Was forced to kneel for 9 hours straight – Was beaten with boots and batons – Had no…
$30M of our tax dollars went to US mercenaries who are terrorizing starving, penned in Palestinians at aid distribution sites with tear gas, stun grenades and machine gun fire. Attacks on UNRWA to replace it with GHF only served to further Israel’s genocide in Gaza. Horrifying.

The use of “as” instead of “at” here is holding up entire worlds

If you're looking to counter a friend or family member's misconceptions about Zohran Mamdani, we did a convenient rundown debunking all the smears (so far): rollingstone.com/politics/polit…
Getting flagged for “use of language” on fb marketplace… now it’s illegal to know how to bargain I guess
I’ve printed these Zohran stickers on vinyl: DM me a receipt of a $5 donation to the campaign and I’ll mail you three of your choice!
If this bill goes through it's not even exaggeration to say the country is over

I do think we should just keep phonebanking nonstop to correct all of these smears.
I was at a family BBQ this weekend and fully every boomer there believed Mamdani had proudly declared "Globalize the intifada!" during an interview. The media knows what it's doing.
The Groups strike again: Head of the DSCC withdraws from doing media where she could blast effect of Republicans’ Medicaid cuts in the states Dems need to win like MI and GA, to avoid self imposed backlash after key donors pressured her into deeply unpopular statements
Gillibrand says “I’m not doing any interviews right now.”
It’s increasingly clear that Israel is deliberately targeting data upload hubs used by journalists to transmit reports and images. Pictured: journalist @BayanPalestine moments after the Israeli strike on Al-Baqa Café—one of the few remaining internet access points in Gaza.
Solidarity can be trying sometimes because ultimately I would love, in general, to hear much less about what is going on in England
I honestly can’t believe this ban on state and local AI laws is in this bill. Horrifying. Total tech bro power stomp on democracy. 10 year moratorium on democracy! (The Cruz Blackburn “compromise” is just capitulation)
Any Democrat using their platform to attack Zohran while the GOP rushes through the biggest cut to Medicaid *in history* doesn’t deserve their seat.
