What kind of person throws chicken wing bones on sidewalks, in the grass, in the street???? My dog will sniff out every single one and devour that thing before I can do a thing about it. They are gonna kill him.

Growing up in India, I saw poor polio ridden, crippled kids because their parents didn't have access to vaccines. We are so privileged that we have forgotten how life was without vaccines. We have access to these vaccines whenever we want. 🧪 archive.today/p4RTd

I am not the first to make this point but imagine a woman president obsessing constantly over her “ballroom” as the economy imploded and her war spun out of control

Providing school children with free meals is better than posting The Ten Commandments and then ignoring their hunger.

Park rangers fined Sandra Shachar for vandalism this morning at the President’s House, hours after the Trump admin installed its version of history. The 72 year old has been posting news articles on the site’s walls since the slavery exhibit was removed. If she does it again, she’ll be arrested.

When I first found out 'he' was attending the game and thus ruining it for folks, my thought was Mamdani will do something to help them. I like this guy.

I’m not sure we’ve properly addressed how profoundly disturbing it is that America can largely shrug at the stashing of human beings in giant warehouses.

A publisher who lays off a reporter whose pen is freezing because she's covering a frigid war zone while dodging missiles is not an editor you want to work for, in a more perfect world

Alex Jeffrey Pretti was an ICU nurse at a VA hospital. His life, through his profession, was dedicated to serving his community and our country. As so many have now seen on video, his final act before he was killed by federal agents was doing everything in his power to protect his community.

FUCK!

Brandy Zadrozny@brandyzadrozny.bsky.social

Alex Pretti "used to tell people off when they made sexist comments to female physicians. He bought me coffee when I had a really bad day as an intern...I laughed alongside him daily. He made a point to teach medical residents without judgement, but with a smile on his face and a joke."

I just took a ride with Uber, and my driver is from Venezuela. He spent the whole trip expressing concern that the same shift from democracy to dictatorship he saw in Venezuela is happening right now in the United States. He’s absolutely incredulous that Americans are allowing it to happen.

Seems like calling the president a "pedophile protector" is really lucrative, more people should probably try it.

Agreed. Please call your senators and tell them so.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Senate Democrats absolutely have to shut the govt down to stop this ICE insanity in the Twin Cities. This is not sustainable & cannot be normalized. Any Democratic vote to provide money to the thugs who are brutalizing this community is a grave betrayal to the people here. Accountability can't wait.

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter. I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

We aren’t talking nearly enough about how the DEA faked 171 “high-ranking” cartel arrests, and how DHS faked old protest footage to sell immigration crackdowns. These are supposed to be apolitical agencies tasked with national security, not propaganda salesmen for the Trump admin

I feel like George Santos exemplifies a lot of what’s broken in the “justice” system. He was a corrupt politician, he briefly experienced the horrors of inhumane prison conditions, then the corrupt president moved to yank him out—and his victims received none of what they were owed in the process
