I’m voting no on the continuing resolution that would double healthcare premiums for 20 million Americans, kick 15 million people off Medicaid & allow 50,000 Americans to die unnecessarily every year. All to give $1 trillion in tax breaks for billionaires.

Private prison executives casually discussed the "3,000 arrests per day" quota in earnings calls—despite the Department of Justice previously denying any quota exists. This is fueling immigration raids nationwide while companies rake in record profits.

America is being run by people whose social media presence would see them getting fired from a part time job stacking shelves. If you worked at Aldi and posted a video of you pouring shit all over Aldi customers, you wouldn't work at Aldi.

I think the leak of the incredibly racist young republican group chat only furthers the argument that millennials were the only generation able to use the computer without going insane, mostly because the computer was once a place separate from the real world. but now the real world is also computer

Looking at RFK's recent moves, including an attack on the hepatitis B vaccine and on painkillers for pregnant women. The common theme: That all children's health problems are due to "bad" mothers. This isn't about making kids healthy. It's misogyny. www.salon.com/2025/09/22/r...

i don't profess to understand too much of this stuff but does it seem like they're just cycling the money back and forth here to keep the scam going

FUNNY YOU SHOULD ASK, BITCH

This is why everything sucks. It's not trans people. It's not immigrants. You are being robbed blind before your eyes and those same people also own all the tech and media networks to tell you that the cause is not them

Turns out the fuck-your-feelings crowd has A LOT of feelings.

She was fired for a series of posts about how political violence has become common in the US. She called for gun control, but noted it was unlikely to happen. That's really it.

Legacy media and cable news reduced Trump's aggression against Chicago to a question of whether troops would be sent immediately. When he said he was taking his fascist military spectacle elsewhere, those media players declared the situation over—while waves of federal agents attack our neighbors.

Glenn Beck’s media outlet The Blaze just gave an interview last month to the person who killed the politicians in Minnesota

3 former Surgeon Generals issue a warning: "The CDC is more than just an agency. It is the cornerstone of public health... The recent turbulence at the CDC threatens to undermine this legacy, and we feel this is not just a bureaucratic or political issue. It’s truly a matter of life and death."

The Onion News Network truck is currently stationed outside the Broadview ICE Detention facility just outside of Chicago.

Being alive right now is like a constant game of mad libs. Everything is just words and concepts thrown together in new, stupid ways and I'm tired of it

something that struck me about those people who let their daughter die of measles was that when they finally took her to the hospital, they got mad at the doctors for not being able to provide a cure for her. there is no cure for measles or polio. the treatment is just hoping they don't die.

Harvard revoke this man’s MD challenge

*christine mcvie voice* show me guys, show me weird little guys

My god. If you're a cis person (as I am) willing to go to the mat for trans friends, we have to say it now and actually do it. Because this wave is high and dangerous. I've been terrified about this since I saw the TERF wave coming this way. This is real danger.
