Umm y'all. What time exactly was the Rapture??

This is it. Today’s thread winner:

A pop up box on Tylenol dot com

And how does Kenvue / the makers of Tylenol / Acetaminophen feel about all this sh't going down? 🤨 Financially and brand equity-speaking???

With ratings the likes of which Trump has never had

If you are also stressed out and filled with rage, please remember to eat a high protein meal to avoid stomach pains and headaches due to hunger and dehydration. And there is no shame in heating up canned soup or microwave meals when your executive function is low.

Some of you will never understand just what a red flag it is to message someone just with "hey" or "hi."

Two more minutes of summer.

are we due for another rapture already?

Just a reminder before the “big announcement” today. Autism was discovered in 1911 and the modern definition of Autism came in 1943. Tylenol wasn’t widely used until the 1950s. Anyone trying to tell you that Tylenol causes Autism isn’t someone that should be taken seriously.

I had no idea!

😭💀

This is pretty good if you're interested in the ins and outs of church politics that let people like Kirk come to power.

Yeah people forget the electorate is all about churn, you wanna get people who sat out 2024 (and maybe even 2020) off the bench while getting the others guys folks to tap out

📽️ WATCH: Epidemiologist Erin McCanlies spent much of the past 20 years studying how parents’ exposure to toxic chemicals affects the chances that they will have an autistic child.

I'm working to my Seasonal Affective Sauce playlist tonight. It's the equinox, gentle reminder that music can help you crawl through the darkness, so get to curatin.

Don’t ruin lawnmowers for me. Also, if vaccines were that … *that*, everyone would know someone who’d been killed or maimed by one. Does anyone ever point that out?

We're at the point where the Trump does something worse than Watergate daily, often multiple times a day. And none of it makes news; it's just normal now.

Good point.

SEE. I'm not the only one to play this game!

Step 1: Cut funding for food stamps Step 2: Stop measuring hunger Step 3: There's no evidence cuts to food stamps led to a rise in hunger www.wsj.com/economy/trum...

This is EXACTLY how I cook:

A lot of libraries also offer free access to Kanopy, which has lots of movies, tv series, and educational videos. If you’re into British comedies, check out “The Change” and “Friday Night Dinner.”

That last line is one of the absolute single scariest things to me and that it was said with such casual happiness is even more disturbing. Not distressing. Full tilt disturbing.

Do I know anyone in western or central NC who can foster (or adopt, hell) a pregnant mama cat? We have a sort of emergency situation where she’s been pulled inside to try and get her spayed to stop her having any more litters in this area (this may be her third) and the household can’t keep her.

Not beating the "won't take their own side in an argument" allegations.

Replace them all. Primary every single one. They are useless to us as we fight this autocracy.

Yes we actually do need a Project 2029 for liberals

Is there anyone who would like to write an up to date piece on all the assaults on freedom of speech and the press specifically that the Trump administration has engaged in this year so far? Feels important to keep pushing these. Pitch us at writers at liberalcurrents dot com if you want to write it

Current Events that don’t suck!

It's important to keep pointing out: Jimmy Kimmel didn't say anything about Charlie Kirk. He criticized Trump and his MAGA freaks for gleefully exploiting Kirk's death. That's what got him suspended. And that's what makes this different and even more dangerous.

State capacity that is being gutted now will need to be rebuilt in the future. Alex Hertel-Fernandez looks back at his time in the Biden administration to identify ways that governments could better use social scientists to improve public services. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/how-social...

There’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for people to build on the rubble of what’s being destroyed before our eyes. Private corporations bending over to forcefeed everyone government-approved speech is evil and amoral, but more than anything this creates boring, inauthentic, unwatchable shit.

A Black man and a homeless man were found hanging from trees in Mississippi yesterday, for those who haven’t seen yet because it’s barely made it out of local news.

Describe a single historical precedent for defeating authoritarians by being nicer to them.

This was my lightbulb moment… kind of like how frustrated I get when cable news hosts and pundits seem so surprised by the behavior that guy in the White House has exhibited 👏 only 👏 as 👏 long 👏 as 👏 we’ve 👏 known 👏 him and somehow expect him to do any different.

This has been coming from the beginning. All major democracy-supporting NGOs and foundations have their legal complaints already drafted. And in time, perhaps not even much time, they will win their cases. What is needed most in the meantime is courage. Keep saying what you think, doing what you do.
