Howdy y'all. Just wandered over from the dead bird to see what's going on.

2 dead in Michigan from Taylor Farms lettuce. 1.7M+ contaminated eggs at Kroger. 3 dogs sick from Oma's Pride dog food. E. coli berries in 8 states. This is what happens when the FDA can't act before the harm — and victims can't sue after. All thanks to The Roberts Court.

Today LA City Council voted to strengthen the LA rent stabilization law, so that increases will range from 1-4% instead of the current rule, 3-8%. This will affect hundreds of thousands of households. Congrats & thank you to everyone who fought so hard to win this! laist.com/news/housing...

Some say they are an "anti-influencer" or push for a concept of "no followers." To me, the issue is not if you have lots of followers, it is if you "post for followers" and if you want "fame as an influencer" or want to make a difference with activism. What I do is activism.

I’ve been crystal clear from the start: I won’t support any funding bill without the ACA tax credit. I voted NO on the CR tonight because it fails to meet the moment—and unfortunately, the American people will feel the effects of this failure the most. This fight isn’t over.

Today I voted against the Republican funding bill because it will force millions of families to choose between higher health insurance costs or no coverage at all. I will not stand for that. I call on Republicans to undo the damage they're causing and pass a bipartisan ACA tax credit extension bill.

AOC was on fire...

Uniter Newest Rep. Adelita Grijalva: “Basic freedoms are under attack…. What is most concerning is not what this administration has done, but what this body has not done—hold Trump accountable as a co-equal branch of government that we are!” #ResistanceUnited #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory

It’s amazing to me, much like Trump’s elementary way, none of these fuckers have a rudimentary concept how to write a coherent email, spelling, grammar, a logical thought process, etc.

The big science accounts are talking about immune dysregulation due to COVID-19 now. I. Told. You. So. Infection does confer antibodies and T cells against C19… but it also takes a wrecking ball to the immune system as a whole. Stop burning down your house. (Metaphorically.)

This is officially one of the strangest pictures in American history, and I do not doubt that it will be considered iconic a hundred years from now. 100% serious here.

“The human body is able to do some incredible things if you consume enough lead,” said the secretary of health and human services

Devil incarnate maybe?

#ResistanceRoots Larry Itliong was born on this day in 1913 in San Nicolas, Pangasinan, Philippines (then a U.S. territory). A fearless labor organizer for more than four decades, he was instrumental in starting the 1965 Delano Grape Strike and co-founded the United Farm Workers union. /1

Moving to New York and pulling the ladder up behind myself, but wokely

#ResistanceRoots Today in history, 1940: Benjamin O. Davis Sr. becomes the first African American general in the U.S. Army. Throughout his 50-year career in a segregated military, he served as a symbol of perseverance and a powerful advocate for the integration of African American soldiers. /1

Mike Fanone So glad he survived the jan 6 attack and that he is strongly speaking out

A scientist 🧪. A software developer 💻. Colorado’s first openly trans legislator. Rep. Brianna Titone is proof the future is built by those who defy expectations. https://thehumanist.com/features/profiles/representation-matters-colorado-state-representative-brianna-titone

Worst. President. EVER.

Thank you, Chicago.

OMG. What an ad!

Stand with Ukraine!

Enjoying a green salad? Our favorite lunch comes to us due to the hard-working Farm workers who are laboring in Lamont, CA, harvesting the fresh lettuce we enjoy. #WeFeedYou

False equivalencies will be the end of us.

I love Shohei Ohtani, but I'm rooting for The Blue Jays this time.

Also as I understand it the Reagan ad was run by Ontario Province, not by Canada’s federal government or privy council or whatever. Imagine if countries cut off trade with us because of shit Alabama or Vermont did.

They said make it great. Instead, they made it gross.

"I hate Republicans. I mean I really HATE them...there's nothing to recommend them. They are just flat mean,morally busted, & are actively trying to kill us. Worse, many of them are doing it w/ a smile on their face." They're anti-life, anti-American, & anti-good. www.rawstory.com/raw-investig...

Fuck ICE 🖕🖕

So they didn’t like the ad. Let’s just post Reagan’s 5 min speech against tariffs as it appears on YouTube. Over and over. On all platforms (some of y’all are still on X). *1981 Sherrilyn horrified by 2025 Sherrilyn saying “let’s post Reagan’s speech.” youtu.be/5t5QK03KXPc

Almost every major news story this week is about how the entire economy is now gambling, scams, bribes and theft.
