10M adults on ACA plans are self-employed or small business owners and employees. A restaurant owner in Virginia could see his monthly premium double, shooting up to $1400 a month. Small businesses are the lifeblood of our communities – and Republicans are shafting them. Hello?

What do you think made America great? I’ve traveled the world, and every time I come home, I’m reminded of what makes this place special: the culture, the mix of people, the constant diversity. I love this country. And I also know who truly hates America: • The KKK • 3 Percenters • Proud Boys 1/2

Me reading all these reviews of Del Toro's Frankenstein that paint it as "What if Crimson Peak was even more Gothic, florid, and horny?"

I know I could get into trouble for posting the Antifa battle flag, but I'm gonna do it anyway.

I've followed Bettany since very early in his career, so I always watched his press tours even if I wasn't very interested in a film. Best interchange: "You lost a lot of weight for these nude self-injury scenes." "Yeah, this guy doesn't strike me as someone who eats a lot of cakes."

Samuel Alito preparing to raise absolutely the craziest flag you've ever seen at his Long Beach Island compound.

Good morning Bluesky !

LOL - Biden let his DOJ indict his own son. Go the fuck home Gimenez.

like basically everyone who works in software I embody this tweet and do not under any circumstances want to talk to my computer

"No kings equals no paychecks" is big march on Versailles territory and if any of these fartwaltruses read books they'd be more worried about saying shit like this.

Omg. Who did this. you are a genius

I’m going to be so, so mad if I actually have to switch to Linux on my gaming desktop I know Linux is generally Fine for gaming these days, but come on

Exactly. And good grief, people SO MUCH YOUNGER than these guys have been called upon by circumstances to know what's right & put their entire future on the line by making a stand. They're immature, but this wasn't just immaturity. They're unfit for power over anyone or any comms platform/business.

I hate this bullshit from the right. Number of people killed in terrorist violence by White nationalists, like John Doyle, since 2000? over 150 Number of people killed by the center & left combined? under 30

“If the democrats don’t let us be unchecked lords of America we are going to defund everything they enjoy, like for example continuing to have a society.” Hm. I’m gonna have to go ahead and say, in the spirit of the Founding Fathers, go fuck yourselves.

Humming "Who Wants to Live Forever" by Queen while outlining a romantic tragedy, because I am a stereotype of an elder millennial who watched a lot of Highlander

you fucked around and now the Episcopalians are doing memes. are you happy now. are you

Everyone in Portland, especially, knows to not resist or escalate. Everything is on camera, and it's important to show what is really happening, for when ICE comes out with their outrageous lies about being attacked. Non-violent resistance is changing minds around the country.

would love to know where vought got the authority to shutdown a government agency established by statute

The 3 ages of whiteness- 0-30 too young to know better 31-55 listening and learning, its not my fault I wasn't born morally lucky 55+ from a different time, stop judging them by modern standards

Just about everyone in the photo look like they've had a "Face/Off" experimental face transplant. Yet the monster underneath is pushing through to the surface

When someone asks why there's a vent hood on an outdoor bench:

OpenAI’s strategy is very clear, it’s trying to get people - especially young people - so reliant on its products intellectually & emotionally (& now sexually!) that going without them becomes unthinkable. And they need signs of that strategy working to keep the funding flowing in

Crashing into cars as a method of stopping them is insane and is the sort of thing that would have gotten you fired from the literal Gestapo

Boat Derangement Syndrome by PizzaCake @pizzacakecomic.bsky.social

gene kelly is antifa

Solemnly whispering civics to the body politic like Rasputin's voiceover to Samael's subway eggs in Hellboy (2004). 😄

California just banned employers from forcing workers to pay a debt, fee, or penalty to leave their job. Bosses have increasingly been trapping workers with debts incurred in training and other exploitative fees. Now that's illegal in the nation's biggest state.

Oh NO. Dammit. Underrated multi-talent gone far, far too young.

Polling & focus group pros asked about this often try to convey a sad, hard-to-fix thing they hear constantly: Due to limited education & economic survival treadmill, many people legit don't know who to trust or how to parse/weigh bad faith claims. This is why the far right eroded education first.

He must have been so confused when the Ohio River level was raised after he simply asked how to get more product on his waterline.

True, but also religious nationalists are about paternalist theocracy, not the faith-service normal people associate with healthy expressions of Christianity (i.e. emulation of Jesus' life/teachings). Levings talks about MJ's affiliations in this excellent interview: www.youtube.com/live/anzaMSj...

Vaccines cause adultism. As in, vaccinated kids have a chance of living to 18.

Here's the joke I tell about this: "Made some substitutions! Used rabid raccoon instead of rosemary. Out of eggs, so I subbed in a flight to Eastern Europe. Allergic to tree nuts, so I slapped a local police officer. Rabies & Balkan prison are terrible. Wish I could give this recipe 0 stars!"

Hey hold on -- Remember: On Jan 6th-Dan Quayle -advised Mike Pence and single-handedly saved democracy. It's redemptive and Quayle is forgiven for the crime of being sorta stupid and for being a fake Robert Redford handsome enough to know his role.

The moment I saw the skeletal Highland cow at the store, I knew I must claim the bizarre bovine for my lawn. Now battle ensues.

They're dressing like sharks, They're dressing like frogs.

"Does mommy disappear when I close my eyes? Opinions differ."

sometimes peace is seeing a snarky quote-post and choosing not to respond to it

Is this a safe place???? Seth Meyers? Would

It's likely Barron Trump is autistic, likely caused by having a father who was 60 at the time of conception. I can believe Trump has worried for a long time about the causes of autism, is deeply personally invested - and he doesn't like the obvious explanation about Barron - that his father was old.

50 years of nursing practice, one thing I learned is that hateful, mean crazy people live a long time. They take a long time to die or they make it seem that way.

These judges need to start sanctioning the attorneys bringing these cases.

An artificial heart for children with congenital heart defects was almost finished. Families had waited for years it. Then, Trump canceled billions in grants for universities — including the grant for this device. The cruelty is endless. www.npr.org/2025/10/09/n...

He thinks the charges are punishment b/c he was narcissistically enraged by the suggestion of accountability. People like James & Comey always knew public service meant their work would be examined by successors. So vindictive prosecution just lets them speak directly to the public & to history.

Mike Johnson: “When the government subsidizes something, it means it’s not working.” Is he speaking about farmers, bankers, insurance companies, the Billionaires like Musk? No, just the everyday American that may need the ACA to live.
