I know we keep focusing on Colbert and Kimmel as we should, but we also need to remember there are hundreds of people who work for these shows who also just lost their jobs because of this bullshit, and most of them are probably not millionaires.

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.

We are definitely on the wrong side of history on this one.

I think the UN needs a life alert system because our country has fallen and can’t seem to get back up.

Woo hoo- updated my author website gen-xoxo for the first time in over two years -now I need to start writing again. Grief was a cruel mistress to my creativity. #booksky

People keep blaming the rise of fascism on the books women are reading but you know what I think the real cause is? Giving stupid people's opinions the same merit and consideration as the experts.

Talking to an AI fan at a party recently I was like “it lies, it uses stolen goods, it’s an energy disaster, it’s bad for humanity” and he kept being like “that may be true BUT if i give ChatGPT a photo of my smoke detector then ChatGPT can find me the user manual for my smoke detector”

Texas is a war zone. GOP’s jamming through a mid‑decade map to grab 5 more U.S. House seats. Dems fled the state, Abbott’s threatening arrests. This isn’t politics...it’s raw power. The side that blinks first loses America’s future.

In this time when the US is being destroyed by cruelty and evil - sometimes you have to take five minutes to do something you loved as a child just to remember that there is still joy to be found. #carwash

Fosters kittens being cuties.

The “covid is only a threat to the vulnerable” narrative primed the pump for the eugenics movement we’re seeing now. It conditioned people to see the disabled & vulnerable as acceptable losses. People who were probably going to “die anyways”. It paved the way for fascism.

tRump should not be allowed to serve the remainder of his term. He’s broken nearly every rule and is breaking the law. He’s arresting judges and allowing American citizens to be terrorized by criminals hired as immigration officials. Impeach. Convict. Eject. We are #InDistress #DemVoice1

Crimes against humanity! I am sickened to my core! This must be stopped!

Do not confuse the political appointees making crazy decisions at NOAA with the excellent and dedicated scientists who work at NOAA, some of them for decades.

Today is Earth Day—a reminder that we don’t inherit this planet from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children. Protecting our air, water, forests, and future isn’t optional. It’s urgent. There’s no Planet B. Let’s fight like it. #EarthDay #ActOnClimate

What she said for damn sake!!

Pete Hegseth is a pretty despicable human being, on top of the other, many deficits he brought to the Pentagon But you should be even madder at the 50 senators who knew Hegseth was an alcoholic, a serial abuser of women, and a poser massively unqualified for the post and yet voted for him anyway

“This happens today: if the investments in the banks fall slightly… a tragedy… what can be done? But if people die of hunger, if they have nothing eat, if they have poor health, it does not matter! This is our crisis today!” -Pope Francis

ATTENTION POSTCARD WRITERS: Postcards stamps going up to 62 cents on July 13. Goal is to privatize the USPS, the oldest & most beloved American institution & make it almost impossible to write postcards during an election due to the cost of stamps. I so hate these evil fucks!!!!!!!

Precision cuts and layoffs begin at UW to deal with the massive state and federal budget cuts due to evil-in-chief. Travel halted. All continuing ed funding for non- union employees cut. BIPOC Staff Development Program cut (among other POD programs and staff). General vibe; do more with less.

Medical social work in public hospitals is soul crushing right now. I worry about the mental health of my employees, inundated with moral distress, overwhelming needs, and real fear and pain that they can barely put a Band-Aid on.

I read a post from a person in Australia that said US beef was full of bird flu. I wanted to find out if that's true, but there's no place to find information anymore. All our health agencies are corrupt. All the experts fired and replaced with conspiracy theorists. Now what?

💔 On 23 March contact was lost with a team of Palestinian rescue workers and medics in southern Gaza. A week later their bodies were recovered from a mass grave 🛑

Call your electeds and scream that you don't want your tax dollars put into the Trumps or David Sacks' crypto schemes. Our taxpayer dollars were never meant to enrich billionaires.

NEW: Trump plans to sign an executive order to overtake the USPS by dissolving its leadership and placing it under his administration. This move would grant them immense power over mail-in ballots, a key target in Republican election fraud rhetoric.

Those asshole billionaires could’ve just enjoyed their lavish lifestyles and left everyone else the hell alone but no, they had to infiltrate the government to make sure that the regular folks would suffer. Sickening.

FDA cancels vaccine advisory committee meeting to select next year’s flu strain for no reason open.substack.com/pub/drrubin/... I just don't get it . It's like they want to hurt people

Just heard from a friend who is a true hero veteran. His company was destroyed in 30 days by the VA when they canceled 5 contracts without notice. 23 Americans mostly veterans out of work and a veteran owned small business destroyed. For nothing. They're dismantling the VA not "reforming" it.

BREAKING: The NIH summer internship program (SIP) has been officially cancelled, across all institutes. It’s a sad loss for the brightest science students in America, for American science, and for future cures for diseases like cancer and Alzheimer’s. 🧪 1/

I am an English Teacher. But …I don’t think I know enough bad words to describe how I feel about this Speaker and his Republican cult members that voted for this horrible budget they passed whacking Medicaid, SNAP, School lunches for children, nursing home care for the elderly, veterans benefits +..

“We will need everyone speaking up, including men. Those of you that were in the military that are retired, this is your chance. Remember your oath to the constitution and be there to stand up.” 💥 @piperformissouri.bsky.social #ProtectWomenWarriors

Remember that this is the beginning. This sends the cuts back to the committees, then they will have to vote on it again. THEN they have to reconcile it with the Senate bill. Then vote AGAIN. We may have lost this battle, but they haven't won the fucking war yet. LFG!

Blood on all their hands.

Please. No more speeches in the Senate about “freedom” until one Republican has the guts to stand up to Trump’s lies about Ukraine & Putin. Ukraine did not start this horrific war. Russia did. Zelensky isn't a dictator. Putin is. The US must not enter into an alliance with Putin.

Todays gratitude goes to fluffy cat paws. #catsofbluesky

Canada held a solidarity rally in support of Ukraine against the fascist Russian invasion and the unsurprising US betrayal. Scenes from Montreal. #3E #EndImpunity #EndOligarchy #StandWithUkraine
