If protecting the health and safety of our nation’s children isn’t a priority, what is?

James Talarico: The Bible doesn't mention abortion or gay marriage, but it goes on and on about forgiving debt, liberating the poor, and healing the sick. The closest thing we have to the kingdom of heaven is a multiracial, multicultural democracy where power is truly shared among all people

Well, the masks weren’t on very tight to begin with, but they’re fully off now. Weak, pathetic, hateful, insecure weirdos.

Chicago is having none of this administration's BS.

The war on vaccines is a war on child mortality on the side of death, & everyone who did anything to aid and facilitate RFK Jr's rise to authority over vaccine rules has a hand in the future rise in child deaths. Widespread vaccination for a time was a pinnacle of human achievement, undone by fools

“When the problem becomes the same for everyone, and they all share the same concern to solve it, differences and suspicions disappear.”

This was a human being. What the fuck is wrong with you?

It’s good to see local superintendents and media saying the thing I have been saying for years. The Missouri GOP supermajority has schemed to defund public schools and send the money to private religious schools. This will close the rural schools in my state.

All the lawlessness ... it all goes back to John Roberts.

Newsom makes trans people feel unsafe and does photo ops of clearing out encampments of unhoused people with a smile on his face so HE’S DISQUALIFIED

In order for America to actually heal its divisions, we need to reckon with its two original sins: the genocide of Native Americans by the initial government structures during and after the Revolution, and the deliberate sabotage of Reconstruction by the racist remnants of the South.

Reminding everyone for no particular reason that Section 230 is one of the last things standing between free speech online and Trump having control over everything you see and say on the internet

“We blew all our money on the world’s dumbest consultants - and we have learned nothing, so we’ll do it again at the first opportunity… but if we admit that in public, no one will give us more money.”

The White House claims the vote to rename the Kennedy Center was “unanimous.” That is false. I was muted on the call and denied the opportunity to speak or register my opposition. That is not consensus. That is censorship.

Why do so many feel like they've fallen behind? It's not because of immigrants, trans people, DEI, the “deep state,” or any other bogeyman trotted out by the GOP. It's because big corporations and billionaires have rigged markets and siphoned off most of the economy's gains.

Zohran: "I mean, think about when you fly.  We have made it such a difficult experience to go through TSA that there's now a financial incentive to sign up for a separate program that can move you through it quicker. We have monetized the dysfunction."

I asked @aoc.bsky.social about why she posted this tweet, and she said “because JD Vance is a goober, man.”

I am reminded of Lincoln's famous letter to Joshua Speed in 1855 quod.lib.umich.edu/l/lincoln/li...

Tonight’s walk on the beach was dark and windy

This hits:

The ravenous, all-consuming narcissism that has rotted the mind of this man requires that every event, every tragedy, every circumstance be ultimately about him. Others in the world do not exist as fully human; they operate only to validate Donald Trump. This is a gross display of mental illness.

The human cost of Trump's gutting of USAID: By the time Tor Top’s mother was sick with cholera, the nearby clinic had been shuttered for weeks. He bundled her into a canoe & paddled toward the nearest hospital, 8 hours away. Less than halfway into the journey, his mother died. New, @propublica.org

the good that you do persists in this world

Noticing that Democrats are passing “right to die” laws before passing “right to housing” or “right to healthcare” laws www.nprillinois.org/government-p...

It's because she doesn't know how to be the head of CBS News. Just no clue what a person in this role does. Similar to how Pete Hegseth and Sean Duffy don't know how to be cabinet secretaries. A hallmark of this movement is people being out of their depth. It says, "expertise is unnecessary."

The horrific tragedy at Brown University is the 389th mass shooting this year and the 230th gun incident on school grounds so far this year. This is not normal and we don't have to live this way. bradyunited.org @bradyunited.org

Periodic reminder that while you should OF COURSE respond to any calls for blood donation immediately after a crisis if you can, it's even more important to donate when there ISN'T an emergency. If they're asking for donations right after a crisis, it means supplies were already critically low.

Guns are the leading cause of death for young people in America — this is a five alarm fire and our leaders in Washington have ignored it for too long. Americans are tired of waiting around for Congress to decide that protecting kids matters.

My thoughts are with colleagues and friends at Brown, and with their loved ones. Another day, another shooting on a college campus in this country. This kind of violence is preventable if only our leaders had the courage and moral clarity to act.

the people of this great republic yearn for locomotive transport

The Kremlin likes to exercise rhetorical dominance over Trump and they say this in the safe knowledge that we won’t invade or that if we do it will be a disaster. Trump might think of Putin as a friend but that’s not how Russia sees the US. The US is to be humiliated, fragmented, and weakened.

Lol at every university trustee and law firm partner who concluded they had no choice but to play ball with this bumbling fool

if you think most people’s plans don’t require a referral from their PCP before they see a specialist, you should stop pretending to know anything about healthcare and seek out the widely available answers to your own questions

there are not enough hotdog gifs in the world

When we're excited little birds around the feeder The cat's indifferent or he's just furious, it seems that he's never neither youtu.be/USVW602SYVk?...

it's not just that I find it chilling to imagine Sam Altman wearing my dead mom's face in order to sell me ads it's that the way we ACTUALLY keep our lost loved ones alive requires a myriad of human skills these assholes perpetually devalue, like storytelling and deep emotional connection

And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.

Dolphins play with pufferfish primarily to experience a mild, trance-like high from the fish's potent neurotoxin (tetrodotoxin), which they release when threatened; they gently pass the pufferfish around, chewing it carefully to induce small, intoxicating doses ...😎💙😎

We can work with it or against it. The one thing we can't do is avoid it, because it is part of a reality, not a choice. And nothing good, and certainly nothing long-lasting ever came out of fighting reality.

America is the only country actively trying to kill its citizens while also asking them to feed as many words and images of themselves into a program before death so their avatars can be owned forever in a data center poisoning what was once their people's land.

Immigration Makes US Great

Trump wants to say affordability is a hoax, but he's a clueless billionaire grifter. Everyone who actually buys their own groceries can tell you life is getting more expensive. And not only are Republicans NOT doing ANYTHING to help—they're making things WORSE.

To recap: •Rittenhouse killed 2 people at a BLM rally & raised $2M •Shiloh Hendrix called a Black child the n-word & raised $800K •Now Crystal Wilsey called a Black customer the n-word & has already raised $100K in 1 day On thing remains clear—White supremacy remains extremely profitable in America

It's so funny to watch them periodically half-ass try the "Your body belongs to the Reich and it is your duty to keep it fit for the Fuhrer" stuff to their base of the laziest people in America whose idea of attending a political rally is to drive their trucks around a parking lot.

hey @jaketapper.bsky.social put me on tv so I can tell this eugenicist piece of shit that i don't care for the way he wishes my formula-drinking kids had died
