Incredible moment where Fox News puts up a graphic with all the reasons it opposes the DSA and why people should be afraid of them

Remember: It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.

This means we can afford universal Healthcare and paid maternity leave right? Right?

Kristi Noem misattributing a paraphrase of Rudyard Kipling to George Orwell really does sum it all up huh

Ah. CIA arming Kurdish forces. Those arms will never fall into the wrong hands.

I turn my TV on to watch hockey and what the fuck is actually happening right now.

No lawmaker in Congress should be able to buy, own, and sell individual stocks. Period. Let's make Congressional stock trading illegal.

private equity buys a company and immediately starts torturing their employees and the money

The number of people that don't understand that Puerto Rico is a part of the US is astounding and depressing

Silly Jimmy Kimmel. He should have just called for all homeless people to be killed and he’d still have a job.

My life seems to be an endless cycle of "I cant find it... turns out I had it all along... no, really I cant find it... now I have two."

The worst part is that tonight tomorrow already someone else has will die/d of gun violence in this country

You know you were raised Catholic when you are looking for something and find your St. Michael medal but curse and go "Well I need a St. Anthony medal because I cant find shit..."

I have once again sworn to never let the laundry situation get this bad again as I fold what feels like every tshirt on earth.

I go to work for 8 hours and y'all let the Nazis take over the Capital...

Article 1, Section 9 & 10 have been removed from the official Govt website on the US Constitution. Among numerous points: •Section 9 forbids suspending The Privilege of the Writ of Habeas Corpus •Section 10 forbids ex post facto laws This better be a joke. Ignoring these is full blow dictatorship

Nothing gives you perspective quite like seeing/hearing a Careflight helicopter landing at your hospital. Someone is definitely having a worse day than you...

My husband wanted to watch that Titan documentary. White male hubris is all I can say.

Man as soon as jupiter entered cancer it was like we could suddenly see the resistance and the people standing together. Even if it's still bad times that has felt like such a relief.

All I am saying is that I'm going to be able to look my baby girl in the eye and say I wasn't a fascist bootlicking scumbag who cheered for human beings being disappeared without due process.

ABC News fired reporter Terry Moran for criticizing Stephen Miller and Donald Trump, proving once again that corporate media is rudderless, cowardly and utterly complicit in enabling fascism.

Secretly proud he's a hockey fan. Even if it's the Kings.

LAPD fired rubber bullets at Australian journalist @laurentomasi.bsky.social

"It's really hard to fathom that the guy making my pizza for 25 years is a gangster and a terrorist, and the person who shows up in an unmarked car wearing a mask and body armor comes to take him away is somehow the good guy” www.wnep.com/article/news...

i'm starting to see some scoldy posts pointing out that we are laughing about a fire on the deck of our sinking ship and i have to be honest once the ship started sinking i decided i would take the laughs where i found them

I also had to research how to get prescriptions from Canada for a friend of the family who can't afford apixaban in the US. I am pretty sure they voted GOP. Boy did I want to lecture them but instead I sent them the cipa.com site and wished them luck. I might check in with them before midterms...

My husband and I had a great night out at an Irish pub with some live music. The bartender mentioned being a libertarian at one point and it took a supreme amount of effort for me not to say, "Oh honey, you're so young. Give it some time and you'll become a socialist too."

'I'll put something on in the background while I read...' *chooses something in Spanish that requires subtitles* "Doh!"

When Nashville SC defeated Charlotte FC on Saturday, the supporters section lacked its usual verve and had visible gaps throughout the risers. The reason was explained in a pair of large white banners. No estamos todos aquí. We are not all here. www.nytimes.com/athletic/634...

I feel thoroughly exhausted. It wasn't a particularly hard week at work. I have been in a boot with tendonitis in my right foot so there's that. And yet the level of tired seems disproportionate. And then I remember that my country is tearing apart families with no due process and it makes sense.

On tomorrow’s This Guy Sucked, @ceaubin.bsky.social and I talk Nazis

Go back in time to kill Hitler or publish 'Narcissistic, Cruel and Dangerous Administrations for Dummies' 🤔

My first thought upon my husband telling me (former Catholic) that the Pope had died was "JD Vance killed the Pope". And the entire internet had my back.

In the book I'm reading "an empire can only stand on three legs: subjugation, desperation and ignorance." *looks at camera*

The life of a BMW owner: "Everything is covered under your manufacturer and extended warranty, maam. It will be $450 dollars" Wut?

From the Combahee River Collective Statement (a manifesto of sorts of Black feminists): "One issue that is of major concern to us and that we have begun to publicly address is racism in the white women's movement." I am beginning to wonder if anything ever changes...

Were they betting none of us knew what tariffs were or how to Google them?

I keep trying to soothe myself by saying "at least I had that much to lose"

Just told my husband that if I die of lung cancer you will know it was the dry shampoo

I'm sure Nero would have been playing golf while Rome burned if it had existed back then.

Converting my 401K into cartons of cigarettes for barter before the market opens tomorrow.

NEW: No fewer than 10 principle scientists at NIH investigating emerging infectious diseases and neural disorders were among those fired by RFK Jr. today. One is an esteemed scientist awarded for breakthrough research into the causes of Parkinson's disease. By me and @emilymullin.bsky.social:

“We’re going to have patients die,” says Jade Pagkas-Bather, an infectious disease doctor at the University of Chicago who also specializes in HIV prevention. “Unnecessary, preventable death.” www.wired.com/story/cdc-gu...

I remember contacting the Strategic National Stockpile when we had a rare disease come through our hospital. They were able to mobilize a drug and get it to us via air that same day. Wondering what that is going to look like going forward....

Holy shit he might actually get the Nobel Peace Prize after all lmao

I know we're all thinking it. Greenland must make really comfy furniture.

At what point can the American people demand a drug test for our Administration?
