Watch this. 19 minutes and $12 to get meds at a public Chinese hospital. Without insurance. As we slash Medicaid to start unnecessary wars and cut taxes for the rich. 🇺🇸 We should all be so much angrier than we are. It doesn’t have to be this way. #MedicareForAllNOW

Some can feel the heat from a hot stove and avoid it altogether. Some need to touch it to be sure. Some will keep their hand on the stove and get singed before admitting it was hot. Some would rather burn to death than admit it. Trump is down to the last group.

Oh how I look forward to the Woke Revenge Tour that’ll play out after this necrotic motherfucker finally succumbs to his rot. We deserve far more than mere justice. We deserve revenge, to reflect all this cruelty back on the collaborators. So many examples will have to be made.

Thank you AOC. Drugs have always been a boogeyman used to justify imperial intervention and resource extraction in Latin America. I'm an anthropologist with a PhD in this subject, I made a video this morning to explain the context:

It’s not about drugs. If it was, Trump wouldn’t have pardoned one of the largest narco traffickers in the world last month. It’s about oil and regime change. And they need a trial now to pretend that it isn’t. Especially to distract from his sinking under Epstein and skyrocketing healthcare costs.

Baaaahahahahhaa! The even fucked up the cover up!

All right people so literally I downloaded one of the government documents to Books on my iPad. I highlighted some text that was not redacted and it included some that was redacted and I copied it over to notes and I pasted it and you can see everything unredacted. www.justice.gov/multimedia/C...

So many progressive groups almost exclusively use Instagram for social media. If you have influence on any, PLEASE encourage them to post here more. Eventually Meta will kill their reach.

"The takedowns and restrictions began in October and targeted the Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp accounts of more than 50 organisations worldwide ... in what appears to be a growing push by Meta to limit reproductive health and queer content across its platforms."

My mom once went through a two hour evaluation for cognitive issues. They don’t do this to assess if you have cognitive decline, it’s to assess how bad it is.

Briefbarf reposted

Couple of things here: 1. Trump says he took another cognitive test recently 2. In front of "large numbers of doctors and experts" 3. He called the examinations "long...and very boring" 4. If you're given 3 cognitive exams in one year by panels of doctors, something is VERY wrong with you

As a climate scientist, the most charitable thing I can say is that this guy's a fucking moron.

Trump: "Remember -- global warming! And then the temperature started going down like a rock. Remember? Remember?"

Can I let you in on a little secret? Billionaire philanthropy isn’t charity. It’s PR to distract you from low wages, labor exploitation, and a tax system that’s rigged for the rich.

The real question is not "Why is Bluesky so left-coded," the real question is "Why can't the right exist in a social media environment without algorithmic assistance, where people can ignore them"

Trump never had a fan base. He had an army of bots who sold his racism and misogyny and xenophobia to uneducated Americans who took voting advice from bald eagle profiles posting Tweets from Eastern Europe. It’s as stupid as it sounds.

Briefbarf reposted

Everybody involved will need to go to prison and if democrats in congress don’t have the stomach for punishing these people they should just resign now.

If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

🧵 Heads up, everyone. Tucked into the new funding bill to reopen the government is a single line to poison Americans. Literally poison us. While everyone was distracted by the shutdown drama, Trump’s thugs in Congress pulled off one of the most shameless backroom deals.
