Can somebody explain this to me like I'm a 2 year old?

Overheard: I'm surprised the nickname “Pedofuhrer" hasn't caught on yet.

As TN State Rep Justin Jones reminds us, our elders and ancestors in the fight for equality were fighting for us. Now, it is our job to fight for the next generation and the generations to come after that. Join the fight in your community.

The idea that we can "easily" overthrow the regime in Iran is a fantasy of people that have never served. Afghanistan is back in the hands of the Taliban after 20 years of slaughter. Iraq still isn't peaceful. Libya is a war zone that's been in civil war since we dropped bombs. History is screaming!

97% of extremist-related murders in the U.S. in 2024 were linked to right-wing extremists. It’s not a political movement anymore - it’s a hobby for failed men with too much testosterone and not enough brain cells.

Rewording my earlier post. RFK Jr will be testifying before Congress. I am interested in what experts and others think would be the best way to leverage this time and opportunity for the public good. If you were behind the dais for this hearing, what would you do? What do you want to see asked?

RFK Jr has announced some of his new appointments to the CDC vaccine advisory committee. One of them is with NVIC, a notriously anti-vax disinformation factory. They still tie vaccines to autism, a completely discredited notion that of course RFK still clings to. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nationa...

Tom Morello is still cool in my book

Facebook tracked when adolescent girls deleted selfies so it can serve a beauty ad to them at that moment. 😳

U.S. has worse wealth distribution than pre-revolutionary France did.

USDA's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service has opened up 73 jobs to internal candidates. They include roles just vacated by people who are receiving full pay and benefits through September.

Nah, Saadia...She raised her goal to $1M, and she's on the way to getting it from her fellow white supremacists. The donor messages on het Give.Send.Go look like holiday greetings on StormFront. The level of hate for Black folks there is palpable...on a Christian CHARITY site. Tells ya something.😳

I remember General Jack D. Ripper opining about the dangers of fluoridation in Dr. Strangelove, but I never imagined we’d have a Director of Health and Human Services just as nuts.

1. Today, the Trump administration's HHS Dept., under RFK Jr., released a review of transgender healthcare. It has no authors. It pushes pseudoscience and conversion therapy. It does not follow a scientific process. My fact check of the Trump HHS review. Subscribe to support my journalism.

I’m Mexican. Like 93% of Mexico’s population, I have significant Indigenous ancestry (65% of the people are over 1/2 Native). Many Northern Indigenous peoples were sent to Mexico during the early slave trade. Alaska to Patagonia we are one. I’m not leaving because a CULT has decided I’m an immigrant

Oooop's.

Biblical scholars now believe that if Jesus had covered up his gang tattoos, he might’ve avoided crucifixion.

The agency's annual human rights reports are being purged of references to prison conditions, political corruption and other abuses.

38 of the 43. "38 of 43 experts cut last month from boards that review science and research in NIH laboratories are female, Black or Hispanic. "The scientists typically serve five-year terms and were not given a reason for their dismissal..." www.washingtonpost.com/science/2025...
