Words can’t express my rage. At least 2 students on lockdown at Brown University already survived mass shootings. Zoe Weissman survived Parkland in 2018. Mia Tretta was shot in the stomach in Santa Clarita in 2019 and watched her best friend be murdered. And now…again.

On the eve of the Sandy Hook anniversary, there has been another campus shooting. This time at Brown University. To the people in power: this is your legacy. Thirteen years. Thirteen years of dead children, traumatized students, shattered families — while you stall, deflect, and do nothing.

Parkland survivor, current Brown student being interviewed 💔

This was the moment I stopped believing in the American government. I think this might be true of many people my age.

“In 2029 we will rebuild the White House as it was, and pay for it by seizing the assets of the Trump family.”

It's going to be impossible to meaningfully increase the population-level health of the American people without significantly reducing the power of corporations.

We don't have a culture that says that "public goods are GOOD." Vociferously. We have a political culture with one party that says public goods are BAD and the other that says "Meh, they should be means-tested."

"After her hearing ended, three-year-old Lucy cuddled her teddy bear as she walked back from the lawyer’s table and took a seat. Moments later, the next child was called up to face the judge..." coppercourier.com/2025/12/05/c...

“officers were asking everyone what country they were from, and if they said a certain country, they were told to step out of line and that their oath ceremonies were canceled.”

I'll never get used to sheer, unadulterated meanness of this administration. They're completely unconcerned about lifting people up and solely focused on tearing people down. It is a movement that is absolutely devoid of a moral center. We need to present a clear moral vision in opposition.

bsky.app/profile/mske... It's not just the Administration, either. I don't want to live in a society where this kind of shit is viewed as a legitimate and socially acceptable (if not encouraged) way to make a buck.

Reagan's was wrong about a lot of things, but not on immigration. This country should be a shining city on a hill and a refuge for people escape persecution. Yet, this is where we are now. Morally indefensible.

The way to fight back on stuff like trans rights, immigration, etc. is to create an unrepentant moral argument in their favor. We want people to be their authentic selves. We want people to come here to escape oppression and be able to realize their full potential. These things are morally good.

Not to defend Olivia Nuzzi, who broke every rule in journalism and promoted a charlatan to his current position. But it's incredibly telling that she will lose her job, but RFK Jr. gets to stay in his job despite the reports of his drug use, his affairs and his defenestrating of public health.

Bad framing: ACIP voted to scrap the universal hepatitis B vaccine recommendation for newborns. Accurate framing: Anti-vax conspiracy theorists appointed to ACIP by Robert Kennedy Jr., who made a fortune as an anti-vax profiteer, voted to expose babies to a preventable, incurable, deadly illness.

An American journalist helped facilitate RFK Jr's ingratiation into Trump's world and kept secret disqualifying information on him that could have kept him out of major policy, which impacts millions of people.

So: 1) There was never a "fight" to begin with 2) There aren't any visible drugs (not that it would matter if there were) 3) They watched two clearly helpless people try not to drown in the ocean for 41 minutes, not "staying in the fight" 4) Then they killed them This is straight up murder.

RUSSIA GETS: Reduced economic pressure. THE UNITES STATES GETS: The possibility Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner can make money in Russia at some point in the future. UKRAINE AND EUROPE GET: Screwed.

I’ve found it’s more visually appealing to just paste in his head at the inflection points

I'm not the only one to see Trump in this icon, right?

Why can't people who think like this be in charge of the whole Democratic Party? I genuinely believe that if we could substitute genuine do-something, try-everything liberals for the current inert leadership things wouldn't be one quarter as bad in the good ol' US of A.

I am more and more convinced that it should be four hour workdays for everyone in the northern hemisphere from December - February.

You can learn so much about body language. When your lead negotiator turns up like this (Left) for the meeting with Ukraine, and like this (R) to meet Putin, it may indicate something, don't you think?

i think this is the first time i’ve seen the “even though they lost they actually won” headline construction used for democrats

I am more and more convinced that it should be four hour workdays for everyone in the northern hemisphere from December - February.

WHY IS THIS NOT YOUR TOP STORY? If you need help, just pretend it’s Biden @msnownews.bsky.social @cnn.com @nytimes.com

This is too much.

‘Can you imagine a single sign at a “No Kings” rally with “Strong Floor, No Ceiling” on it?’ That’s right. That’s the correct way to think about it. We have seen thousands of signs at rallies. None have said this. Because this slogan has no purchase with voters.

It took them 25 years to admit this 😤

Drugs are not weapons. Drug traffickers are not terrorists. The US wasn't attacked. Boats on open water far from US coasts aren't a security threat. There is absolutely no argument for self-defense in Caribbean boat strikes, nor in possible war with Venezuela. This campaign is lies upon lies.

Just imagining how much better it would be if ALL news stories about vaccine-preventable illnesses were illustrated with pictures of people with the disease, not pictures of needle injections. If you must show something that people will find scary & unpleasant, make it the disease, not the cure.

This is the crux of the bargain white ppl made voting for trump & the gop. "Rid us of brown ppl & make white ppl the majority again & we will sacrifice our jobs, savings, homes, and even children." They 💯 factored in those losses & decided it was worth it. That's why nothing else he does matters

People should NOT be deported while they are following the law. She was at her final interview. It is now nearly impossible to legally migrate into our country. They are deporting people who are following the rules! Take the Statue of Liberty down until it is true again.

Just once I'd like to hear a TV news anchor say, "Sir, that's not true, and if you keep insisting it is, we're going to end this interview to protect our viewers from further disinformation. And we won't invite you back."

💯 Just finished seeing Wicked for Good and it was fine, but also: That Was A Choice. Every costume. The necklines weren’t even flattering. Those closeups took me out of the story over and over. It was uncomfortable and felt like a recklessly harmful attempt to exploit the discourse.

“heard someone over here wasn’t seeing christ embodied among the least of these.”

They're the same picture

People will die, and are currently dying, because RFK was granted one of the most powerful megaphones in the country. Two people who could have thrown barriers in front of his climb decided not to; there's a sex scandal here but it is not the biggest scandal.

I had no idea electricity could move both ways through an outlet, but now I want this!

See this is the Christianity I can work alongside with

"It is a miracle that none of us has been killed." - Rev. David Black Rev. David Black's testimony at this week's shadow hearing led by Rep. Bennie Thompson exposes the escalating violence of Trump's immigration enforcement

So many men go through life like that. You can play poker because it's right-coded, you can't enjoy fruity alcoholic drinks because they're women-coded, you can't lick an ice cream cone because it's gay-coded. All day, every day, choosing and judging things based on coding for narrow norms.

Honesty, getting married to a liberal woman was so liberating because I could just do whatever and she didn’t expect me to be macho. Now I fart, watch football, listen to musicals, cry at sappy shit, whatever I want and no judgment… pure freedom. I still have to deal with mice and spiders tho.

I’ll have what she’s having

Dude, this is so cool. A canoe from circa 3200 BCE just chillin in the dirt in Wisconsin

I hope folks realize that between Trump, Kushner, Hegseth, Witkoff, Noem, RFK, Jr., Kash Patel, and Tulsi Gabbard, this country is almost entirely undefended.
