Talarico: if you read the new testament, Jesus doesn't spend most of his time preaching or teaching or even praying. He spends most of his time healing the sick. Right now, we have politicians in congress with Christ follower in their Twitter bio, but they are kicking the sick off their health care

Hi, immunologist here: (a scientist who studies immune & inflammatory processes) RFK Jr is talking absolute bullshit when he says he can “see in kids faces that they have inflammation” That’s NOT how immunology works. He is an anti-science profiteer. Start calling him such.

Trump shows weakness, permitting Putin (who is under indictment) in the US and traveling to the meeting in Alaska. And what's being reported-giving Russia all of eastern Ukraine - is precisely what Russia was proposing in 2016 with Paul Manafort and others, and would reward its illegal war effort.

In Alabama, another horrible ICE detention story— pulled over for going 1 mile over the speed limit and then put into detention, a woman who earned a masters degree and has become a beloved community advocate. Not a criminal. Someone who contributes to America. www.al.com/news/2025/08...

Robert Reich nails it - the GOP might whine that Democrats are carrying out class warfare, but this is actually exactly what it looks like 👇

If a foreign adversary snuck into our Federal budget and cut science research and education the way we’re cutting it ourselves — strategically undermining America’s long-term health, wealth, and security — we would likely consider it an act of war.

No due process means he decides your guilt or innocence. Not the courts. Not a judge or a jury. No longer will you be deemed innocent until PROVEN guilty. You’ll be declared guilty and snatched off the streets with no recourse. Is the wisdom of the Constitution kicking in yet?

It was quite a week for Mango Mussolini 👇 #ResistTrump

Source: CNN Earlier this year, Trump imposed a ban on the AP to punish the news organization over its decision to continue using the phrase “Gulf of Mexico” after Trump renamed the body of water the “Gulf of America.” No more ban on Freedom of Speech!

Who did this?

Once you realize he works for Russia, not America, everything he does makes sense 👇 #TraitorTrump

I had legit completely forgotten this.

We’re only two months in, & they’re cancelling research into pediatric brain cancer. They’re deporting US kids with brain cancer. They’re putting millions at risk of malaria, TB, & polio. I for one will never forgive or forget those who said ‘it won’t be that bad’. 😡

Fealty to Donald Trump will not spare you from his cruelty. It's strength — not weakness — that curbs his baser instincts. Now is the time for us to be strong.

Not pro-life

Too many are ignoring the blaring warning sirens at our collective peril: "for those of us who reported there a quarter century ago, Mr. Trump’s Washington is bringing back memories of Mr. Putin’s Moscow in the early days." @peterbakernyt.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2025/02/26/u...

Trump is surrendering America. Trump is the opposite of strong. He is a tiny, weak, small, scared, trembling, sissy, husk of a man. There is nothing manly about his fat, sweaty, smelly, gross, makeup'ed self An absolute joke

This is about as disturbing as it gets. When Trump says he plans to be a dictator, there’s no reason not to believe him.

This is not a normal person 👇
