Journalists, please note: People under the age of 18 are “children “. They are not “young women”, “young ladies”, “underage women” or god-forbid, “little lolitas”. No child, throughout history, has EVER been consenting. If you wouldn’t use the term “underage man”, you already know what is correct.

Would it ever be possible to pass a law requiring tech companies to pay people a royalty each time their information is used or shared? Companies would have to pay the CEOs and stockholders less but maybe people would finally understand the value of their personal details once the checks roll in

We invented God to be omnipotent. What do you think will happen when our computers “know” everything we choose to ask them? Trillion dollar evaluations for the church of AI is a power dynamic that won’t ever unwind in an Idiocracy.

Psychologically disturbed humans need assistance and help. We should not be electing them into positions of leadership, especially the presidency.

Will capitalists ever realize that competition would be amplified if no business had to worry about providing healthcare? It's one of the advantages big companies have over small biz. Universal Healthcare would go a long way in balancing the playing ground and aiding competition.

In the upcoming elections, the slogan should be "Bring Back the Adults".

Pigs are adorable and notoriously intelligent.

Sometimes the sheer idiocy of this moment overwhelms me. The idea that our convicted felon POTUS who incited an attack on DC police then pardoned the attackers & who's the most corrupt official in US history is going on an "anti-crime" ride-along in a city w/falling crime rate is...(brain explodes)

The criminals are taking over cities to “prevent crime.” The neo-Nazis are crushing the universities to “fight antisemitism.” The misogynists are eliminating trans rights to “protect women.” The free speech billionaires are taking over media to “end cancel culture.” I think they’re lying!

Yes it does say everything.

The crazy thing about Trump threatening to take over DC is that he’s all over the Epstein files.

Well, I’m gonna insist that you listen to this. Definition of terms: “these people” = Latino migrants “Inner city people” = Black people “We tried to get them [inner city people] to do it” = slavery & sharecropping

After I was denied entry to an ICE facility in my district, many of you said social media posts weren’t enough. You’re right. Here’s what’s next.

If you don't have a chosen charity- remember World Central Kitchen and donate!

Prosecutors will not bring criminal charges against sheriff’s officers who wrestled a Black man out of a car during a traffic stop and punched him multiple times, the local sheriff said Monday.

I'm not gonna lie, y'all: even nearly a decade into this, it still feels surreal that a sitting POTUS can do one long, bizarre stream-of-consciousness ramble about whatever silly shit happens to pop into his head on national television, and political media still shrug their shoulders + write it up.

Checking my notes on this, but apparently free bus rides are "radical" but opening a Maneating Alligator Concentration Camp is just mainstream government work these days.

Spot on. This is the clearest explanation I’ve seen. It ‘s relatable, and humanizes the issue in a way everyone can understand.

Vaccines save lives!

This point by Dr Jallepalli is important... and demonstrates why RFKJrs comment that 'do your own research' is in line with 'democracy' is wrong: There are many things we do not understand, and our time is limited. The purpose of expertise is to expand our capacity for public collective knowledge.

This man is my hero because he’s a member of the United States Air Force and is standing by his #Oath to the #Constitution! I’m hoping that since he has taken the lead others will follow because this is what a true American Soldier looks like! Remember your Oath to the Constitution

Keep our honor clean

The most inspiring chapters in our nation's history came when Americans faced down some of our country's darkest demons. Those moments, like our own, were difficult to live through but also brought the chance to bring out the best in us, with enduring consequences.

Again, have other 2nd amendmenters realized yet that authoritarians do not allow you to keep your guns?

Posting this 1967 Birmingham News editorial cartoon for all the people who don't realize that this is how MLK was viewed by a big chunk of white America.

I have a new hero. This owl stole a child's hobby horse and flies around with it!

Little girl returns to school after getting a prosthesis . What wonderful friends she has 🥹🥹🥹

You can argue the merits of deporting Marcelo—a young man brought here at age 5—if you want to. But this is someone we should be proud to call American. He’s solid on every level. And if you’re really a Christian, you should be lifting him up, not casting him out. Listen w/an open mind—and heart.

It will continue to incredibly plausibly claim that it has understood its mistake and is sorry and will never do that again. It has no capacity for any of those things. The part that’s confusing is that the only humans who can do that so convincingly are psychopaths.

22-year-old Cole Schmidtknecht is dead b/c UnitedHealth increased his asthma meds from $55 to $700—which he couldn’t afford—he died 5 days later. It isn’t just GOP cruelty. Corrupt Democrats like @repbillfoster.bsky.social are funded by UnitedHealth & reject M4A www.qasimrashid.com/p/did-united...

Lindsey is just a big baby, so there’s that as well.

4-year-old Bakersfield girl facing deportation could die within days of losing medical care - Los Angeles Times Don’t ever tell me that Christians support the GOP. There is nothing Christian or Christ-like about this. Just plain old cruelty and callousness:

Elle Cordova is absolutely brilliant.

Remember when Republicans fought central planning? Now they’re applauding a president who tells Apple where to produce and Harvard who to hire. They've trading in limited government for micromanagement, freedom for fealty, and market forces for Mar-A-Lago favors.

and nothing has changed.

Well payed, Harvard, well played. Harvard offers FREE American Government course.

Yes!

I wish journalists would stop framing political news as wins or losses for politicians or political parties. It’s an abrogation of our mission. Why do we keep doing this? Is the spending bill a win or loss for the American people? Who does it help? Who does it hurt? Is it sound policy? Fiscally?

"I am getting very sick & tired of having to go onto news programs because journalists aren't allowed in to point out what is happening here... this is a televised slaughter. History will not judge us kindly." I spoke today to Dr Tom Potokar, UK surgeon in Gaza: Full intv: zeteo.com/p/televised-...

It's even worse than this! "No one can be deprived of liberty without due process of law" goes back to Runnymede, far predating the United States. (and further: the barons who wrote the Magna Carta also believed they were merely enshrining in writing rules that already existed since time immemorial)

This is a full out attack upon the working poor. Shameful. Wrong. Bad for our country.

The kids on Tumblr know what's what

Reading the story about the woman in Georgia who is brain dead and on a vent but not allowed to die with dignity because she was 9 weeks pregnant when she was declared brain dead. Even in death, our bodies are not our own. State-owned property.

American people will survive this bank shot of a hostile Putin takeover via Trump, the G.O.P. and Musk, because we will: • Pay attention to the destruction • Plan to rebuild it all • Correct misinformation • Resist fascism • Stand up for and take care of each other • Vote Democratic, every election

🚨HIT THE PHONES TO SAVE MEDICAID - PLEASE AMPLIFY & ACT 🚨 TODAY the House will be marking up deeply unpopular massive Medicaid cuts. MANY GOP on the committee are in tight districts. Calls and pressure ARE effective here. Call today. Type your zip to get a script ⬇️ OcasioCortez.com/savemedicaid

My daughter’s speech therapist went out of business because Medicaid reimbursement rates were too low. We do not have Medicaid. I’m going to keep posting this until people understand that when Medicaid gets cut *everyone* loses services.
