As someone who volunteered to be a test subject for the initial trial back in 1998, this brings tears of joy to my eyes. #soworthit

This is really amazing!!! Young women now have 'close to zero' risk of cervical cancer death after HPV jab #VaccinesWork www.bbc.com/news/article...

Just a fun tidbit for the Petroleum devotees out there. We switched to driving our EV almost exclusively since gas prices jumped, and today, during a winter storm in Colorado where we lost power for almost 9 hours…WE didn’t actually lose power, not even a flicker, thanks to solar w/battery back up.

I ❤️ France.

Koreen Brennan@koreen.bsky.social

France passed a law requiring solar panels on every parking lot with more than 80 spaces. Equals 10 nuclear reactors Reduces heat island, shades cars The US -- 800 million parking spaces. Most of them are uncovered asphalt sitting in direct sunlight. Why aren't we doing this?

This.

Why do we live in such a childish, stupid country? A country that wastes its money on useless billion dollar aircraft carriers, when it could be spending those tax dollars to actually help its citizens like sane countries.

Grateful to be able to peacefully protest today in my city. So many more honks and supportive gestures today and very few middle fingers. My son is still able to attend for now, but I worry the time is coming soon when it will be too dangerous for him to join us.

This is precisely while I cancelled my Facebook account. Old high school friends couldn’t understand why I was upset what Trump was doing, as it could just be corrected in 3 1/2 years. 🤦🏻‍♀️

I try and avoid political posts because… well… *gestures*, but I am *still* seeing posts from Americans talking about stuff that the “next president” will have to clean up after “the next election” and it blows my mind that even despite… well… *gestures*, they still think there’ll be one.

Who knew Mr. “Banana Phone” would be more rational and insightful about the situation in the US than Republicans in Congress. 🤔

they've got Raffi calling for regime change. something has shifted.

When Renee Good said "I'm not mad at you" what the ICE goon heard was "I'm not scared of you." That's what enraged him. The populace wasn't fully terrorized and cowed into submission yet, so he acted to make that happen.

South Park called it, and it’s hilarious. One of the creators purchased the Trump Kennedy Center URL address before the name was even changed because they know Trump’s narcissism is in the driver’s seat.

I’m disappointed too, but it feels like that Bible story—the real mother (Dems) had to save the baby (our economy, air traffic controllers, federal workers, SNAP recipients), even if it meant the fake mother (Republicans) got away with being cruel and reckless. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I’m not religious at all, but I remember that story from church—King Solomon threatened to cut a baby in half to find the real mother. The true one gave up her claim to save the child. That’s how this feels: Dems save the “baby” (the economy, workers) while the GOP’s fine watching it burn.

And…it’s David Hogg with a walk-off home run for the win… ⚾️ 💥 (baseball analogy courtesy of an amazing World Series — still wish the Blue Jays had won it 😉)

“Part of the reason [Zohran Mamdani] is so powerful is because people are tired of being lectured by men with Rolexes on CNN about affordability in this country. That’s the real reason he is resonating right now.”

Some weirdo on Twitter has been absolutely melting down for like 36 straight hours because I posted: When this is over, do not forget what ICE did, and what ICE is. And do not make room for them in society. Make sure they know that they are, and will continue to be, reviled and beneath contempt.

Today, I wore a lanyard that was 🌈 on one side. As I walked toward the office from the parking lot, I got a death stare from an older woman who was outside smoking. When I got closer to her, I looked right at her and said, “Hi! How are you!?” Refuse to let ignorant people make you feel intimidated.

So well said.

This is simply untenable. There is no way forward with media and political classes captured by the right. Every time someone commits a crime you have to pray it's not an undesirable or it's purge time, then when it turns out to be themselves again they just shrug and wait for the next one.

If you’re a convicted felon and your character witness is your dear old friend, the convicted child sex trafficker and enabler of your other dear old friend, the most notorious raper of children in modern history, you’re definitely a total piece of shit.

Luttig is communicating vastly more clearly and honestly about Roberts and Scotus than most Democratic officials are. It’s absolutely flabbergasting.

When your neighbor on the left is being dragged away by masked men and your neighbor on the right can't get an X-ray for their child, be sure to quickly explain that "both parties are the same" and whatnot.

The split screen today is incredible. A virtually empty scene for Trump’s military boondoggle in DC while millions pack the streets from coast to coast for #NoKings rallies to defend the constitution. He was weak before today and will look even weaker after.

So excited to have been there!! People in Denver are fired up.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez@aoc.bsky.social

Tonight an unbelievable **34,000 people** gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back. This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008. Also bigger than the 2024 DNC. And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).

I had my student loans forgiven in 2023 through the Public Service Loan Forgiveness program. I have several colleagues at work who are now going to lose their chance at forgiveness thanks to Pumpkin Spice Palpatine. One of my teammates just became eligible, but I worry he will get screwed 😡
