The root problem is that most Americans don't understand universal human rights so they fight over power in all these brush wars with no moral core or vision, and become what they say they despise. Just a thought.

She’s great but stop, she’s not anywhere near qualified, she’s not even old enough. If ppl push this they’ll ruin her real chances in 15 years after she’s been a Senator, then maybe even a Governor, but just stop with this.

The penalty for treason in England was drawing and quartering until 1998.

Ruh roh.

social security and medicare arose from the great depression, perhaps UBI and universal healthcare will arise out of the incoming trump depression. gotta find a silver lining in the inevitable expanding economic disaster.

Air travel warnings at the moment... Book yourself a hotel now? (from Planes, Trains, Automobiles)

Socialism

Repeated COVID infections in children lead to doubled incidence of Long COVID. I’m shocked, I say. Shocked. www.medpagetoday.com/infectiousdi...

I can’t describe the weird helplessness I felt when I briefly lived in the US and tried to correct misinformation about Canada’s single payer model. The Cdn system has twice saved my life since those days and I didn’t have to bankrupt my family to pay for it.

Trump hates to be the object of humor. He understands that humor can be a more powerful antidote to tyranny than any other form of criticism. I'm sure he'd hate it if you shared this cartoon. [Cartoon by Jon Adams/The New Yorker]

George Carlin would never have taken blood money to perform comedy for a Saudi Arabian tyrant.

why can't rich people fuck off and do dumb shit like this and let the rest of us have some socialism

I said a thing :).

HAPPENING NOW: Oregon asks Judge Karin Immergut (a Trump appointee) to block the Trump admin's federalization of 200 Oregon National Guard troops to deploy to Portland. 🧵

Literally what Dems are trying to prevent. Who’s ready to be full-time, 24/7 caregivers for their ailing parents?

You may have heard my arguments against the Electoral College before. Here’s a new one the Founders never anticipated: If the President is elected by popular vote, he probably wouldn’t selectively punish entire states for voting against him.

Time to tear down the predators and their corporations… no one should be a billionaire

We just received a message from Apple's App Review that #ICEBlock has been removed from the App Store due to "objectionable content". The only thing we can imagine is this is due to pressure from the Trump Admin. We have responded and we'll fight this! #resist

If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, gun reform, universal child care, and a living wage. The right-wing agenda isn’t about “life.” It’s about control.

Fascists never shrink government They grow a police state, in part by creating the currency to pay corporations to do their bidding

Economists need to be more clear & simply say our government creates our net financial assets that everyone else relies upon to stay solvent And cutting government spending for the broad economy just means creating financial instability And risks a bank crash bsky.app/profile/just...

I know these guys are all dumber than a sack of hammers, but it is fascinating to see the military decide “logistics are gay” in real time

“It actually doesn’t take much to be considered a difficult woman. That’s why there are so many of us.” ― Jane Goodall 💙 RIP to a real one. My childhood hero

I sent my friend the grade school teacher an article titled: “Long Covid Risk for Children Doubles After a Second Infection, Study Finds,” and my friend replied that at this point most of the children at her school have had many more than just two Covid infections.

Hmm, looking for the so-called war in Chicago and found measles at Aldi. NBC: Shoppers at suburban Aldi warned of possible measles exposure https://www.nbcchicago.com/news/local/shoppers-at-suburban-aldi-warned-of-possible-measles-exposure/3832190/ #measles #chicago

God I hate his childlike signature. Shame on you

This episode was so insightful that I'm sharing it everywhere. sceneonradio.org/episode-52-w...

This here is a winning message and please oh please Democrats stick to this instead of whatever the hell Chuck Schumer has been doing.

Yes, and that billionaire tax cut would be the third one since the Felon’s inauguration.

"It appears that Donald Trump not only has dementia set in, but he's copying tactics of Vladimir Putin. Sending troops into cities, thinking that that's some sort of proving ground for war.. is just, frankly, inane and I'm concerned for his health" www.cbsnews.com/chicago/news...

My brother-in-law insists I can get rid of my mask for the top-secret life-saving technology the elites depend on is at long last going to be made available to the rest of us, and as I wasn’t in the mood to fight with him, I just said: I’ll wear a mask while I wait.

I keep hearing people say that this is just that time of the year when everyone has a cough, and though I am not very old I am old enough to remember that this has not always been a time of the year when everyone has a cough.

Remember when we thought he was dead? That was a good week.

In a sane country with competent leadership, the 50 highest-ranking Democrats would call a press conference to denounce what just happened as a threat to the republic and demand Trump's immediate impeachment and removal from office. I don't know he could make his intentions more clear.

This is why they're desperate to capture governments and schools so they can siphon off public funding.

Not a healthcare pro so cannot comment on Medpage. Why no mention of the impact vaccinating boys has? Is it still off-label for boys? If so, why? It prevents mouth/throat cancers in all genders. HPV Shot May Protect Unvaccinated Women Too www.medpagetoday.com/pediatrics/v...

One more thing...the amount of money that was wasted to fly in generals from across the globe for a political rally is appalling. Further evidence that Trump thinks of this as his personal military. This action alone should be enough for him to be impeached.

No jurisdiction. Part of my platform for 2028 is signing the Rome Statute of the ICC. Sure, the Senate won’t ratify it, but then I’m never going to be president, either.

I will just say it again : One of the most radical acts of resistance and shared humanity in the face of fascism is wearing a well fitting mask. Now more than ever if you have stopped wearing one reconsider wearing one when in public. Protect yourself and others from the pandemic and surveillance

Mike Johnson is delaying the certification of Adelita Grijalva’s victory in Arizona’s special election last week. This move prevents Democrats from securing the final signature needed to force a House floor vote and release the Epstein files.

Though I don't know who needs to know this, I learned one minute ago that Rachel Carson's Maine cottage is available to rent by the week June-Sept. Listened to Jill Lepore's beautiful essay about Carson in "The Deadline," & rooted around a bit to find this: rachelcarsoncouncil.org/wp-content/u...

My friend who pays attention to Covid, tells me to worry about what it does to us. My friend who pays attention to social media, tells me to worry about what it does to us. My friend who pays attention to her students, tells me she is worried about what both have done to them.

Neo-liberalism cannot have its biggest victims being politically active.

Here's a list from @bbkogan.bsky.social on what shuts down immediately this week, if the govt does shut down. Note some of this was already targeted by DOGE. www.americanprogress.org/article/what...

So they must have figured out the Mormon church shooting wasn't done by 'antifa' because the news link and trend just vanished from X like it was never there.
