The minute roe v wade got repealed, republican men started running around screaming "your body, my choice" And im supposed to believe they're genuinely concerned about the right of women in NYC who voted blue? Sure, Jan.

Hes gonna make women cover up and take their rights! Yeah, sorry if I don't believe you actually care about women's rights if you're supporting the party that won't release the epstein files, ban child marriage, let 12yos get abortions, wants to end no fault divorce & jokes about repealing the 19th

It's weird that republicans keep saying mamdani is lying to us, and he's going to persecute the lgtbq community when then that's what yall have been doing for years. If anything, xtian republicans should be ecstatic bc yall fucking hate the lgtbq community

How are people still talking about Mamdani and the idea he's going to impose sharia law on NYC? 1. NYC would have to be willing tolerate it, and lol 2. There's nothing I've ever heard him say that implies he hates the lgtbq community or women 3. The call is coming from inside the house here.

Fresh multi-year high in 401(k) hardship withdrawals while the share of minimum credit card payors is increasing in 2025, albeit at a slower pace than last year

This is the purveyors of mandatory AI forcing you to pay a premium so that they can collect more from the businesses buying their product. Talk about a fucking Ponzi scheme.

Anyone paying for a product that is the same no matter who is reading it shouldn't be forced to pay a higher price based on anything other than the product being delivered. It shouldn't matter how much of your beef I consume. Only that I am purchasing it for consumption, same as the next customer.

As if we didn’t already have enough problems with public trust in journalism and the collapse of local news, someone thought it would be a good idea to add dynamic AI pricing to the mix.

Community Ice Watch poster spotted in #southarlington

for some reason, i don’t believe them

SNAP benefits weren’t stopped by the shutdown, they were stopped by Trump’s lawbreaking. Under US law there is a dedicated SNAP fund for shutdowns, Trump refused to spend it, lost in court, defied the court order, took the issue to the Supreme Court. And guess what? He’s still pursuing that case.

US democracy needs more of the legal profession to stand up for rule of law, rather than writing apologetics for Supreme Court calvinball, or firms bending the knee to Trump's authoritarian exploitation. Some recognize that the basis of their job is under assault. Hopefully this is a sign of more.

Fair weather fiends.

ICE/BP’s next targets are reportedly Charlotte and New Orleans. Two things: 1) If they had the capacity to hit many cities at once, rather than pick on one or two at a time, they would. 2) Moving south seems to confirm speculation that they’re leaving Chicago because it got cold.

Breaking WSJ: Fannie Mae watchdogs who were removed from their jobs had been probing if Trump appointee Bill Pulte had improperly obtained mortgage records of key Democratic officials, including New York Attorney General Letitia James, according to people familiar with the matter.

Said Trump-supporting billionaire (Ellison) used his massive wealth to buy Paramount, turn CBS from a news org into right-wing propaganda, and get a big stake in TikTok USA. Plus bid for Warner Brothers - Discovery, which owns a lot of media properties (eg CNN), presumably to make it propaganda too.

Kind of wild that while food assistance was withheld from millions of families, one Trump-supporting billionaire (Ellison) saw his net worth grow more this year than the entire SNAP budget. And the YTD gains of the other four richest men would’ve fully covered salaries for all 2M federal employees.

The original Dem demands were: 1) Permanent ACA subsidies 2) Medicaid funding restored 3) No more blank checks for the regime (rescission) They dropped Medicaid immediately. Went silent on rescission. Cut back to 1 year of subsidies on Friday. And surrendered today. The Senate Democrats!

I finally got confirmation that ICE agents have been getting paid this whole shutdown. Only people who’ve had guaranteed pay this whole time are the lawmakers responsible for the shutdown and kidnappers

Look how sneaky this is. She was taken at roughly 5:45p and by 6:36p an ICE transport was already on the road carrying her out of MA into another federal district. No arrival time is listed in that 2nd district, but she was already on her way to a 3rd by 9:30p. www.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

The pattern of ICE apparently hustling its detainees over a state border to frustrate habeas petitions in the jurisdiction where they were detained continues. Remember that ICE didn’t disclose Öztürk’s location, publicly or to her counsel, until she reached Louisiana.

NEWS: The UK is no longer sharing intelligence with the US about suspected drug trafficking vessels in the Caribbean because it does not want to be complicit in US military strikes and believes the attacks are illegal, sources familiar with the matter told CNN. edition.cnn.com/2025/11/11/p...

Yesterday, when Bovino announced ICE would be returning to Little Village today, some of us donated and fundraised to buy out street vendors in the neighborhood. This morning, volunteers hit the streets at 6:30 am, looking for vendors to buy out. Tamales make an excellent breakfast.

Nothing illustrates the arseholery of the IOC and the British Press more than the use of the image of a not-Trans woman to illustrate a story about trans women being banned (because there are no current trans women competing at this level)

We only rate dogs. This is a family of Suburban Gold Fairies. It's rare for them to travel together like this. Very magical but please only send dogs. Thank you... 13/10 for all (TT: hdbrosriley)

Blocked an acct. Entire oeuvre is reply guy defense of dem party. Replies are mostly under posts justifiably critiquing dems but the one that caught my eye was under a post critical of Trump, but authored by someone who regularly calls out dems, so complete non-sequitur. Is this a new kind of spam?

Why is the "we must be united!" hectoring directed at people who are mad at the Cavers and not to the Cavers? Everyone who's mad was united, then the Cave Caucus walked across the aisle and betrayed what the public had been told was the Dem position.

Their political philosophy hinges on a vision of white supremacy in which people who aren’t white are here at the privilege of white people, which they can revoke at any time, which they expect to be received with gratitude.

4. A 2nd year med student can diagnose Guillain-Barre immediately upon hearing the term "ascending paralysis". 5. No "attending doctor" is going to listen to someone lecture them for 1 hour if there is no CME involved.

1. He overstates the risk. Guillain-Barre from the influenza vaccine is 1-2 additional cases per million doses given. 2. Only 30% of patients require mechanical ventilation. 3. A hospitalist would consult with their affiliated OB-Gyn, not a "Locum Independent Contractor"

I think good rule of thumb is that if you read a tweet by doctor who tags RFK Jr and Dr. Drew for "backup" you can immediately ignore anything they're saying 👍

The people showed up in the streets for "No Kings." They did their part. The people showed up at the polls on Tuesday. They did their part. 8 Democrats in the Senate surrendered last night. They did not do their part.

Hey everyone, I see a LOT of people so furious at Dems they're registering as Independents. I get it. I really do. Just be aware that most states have closed primaries so you won't be able to vote in those. And as you smart folks know, primaries are critical to weed out wackos and bad bills.

3 years ago Elon enabled the funniest day in Twitter history.

that material safety, dependent on forms and slips, is endangered by in-human testimony. what happens when your primary care provider exports your medical history to ChatGPT? what recourse do victims have when law enforcement lets bots handle incident reports?

we should not be letting any company get away with blaming AI for their failures. I'm not even sure how we got to this point. people are like "it's just a tool" okay so is a forklift and we still hold somebody responsible when it goes wrong and hurts someone. this is YOUR AI!

a few months ago I said "having generative AI handle absolutely anything with regards to healthcare is a nightmare and should be banned" and a bunch of people made fun of me and called me stupid. anyways,

Somebody should remind his anti-DEI, racist, Nazi ass that Oprah did it first and did it better.

We'll see, but the degree of immediate blowback, and how many other Dems immediately jumped onboard trashing it loudly, makes me think this might end up a failed attempt to cave. Overestimated their ability to hold enough Dem votes. Thing about being spineless is you can be pushed either way.

Lots going on but from outside it seems that at least part of the calculus was that flight disruption for middle class and up travelers matters more than life disruption for untold numbers who’ll be deprived of health care.

not enough chatter about how frequently members fly and how attacking airport capacity directly affects them in a way that cutting SNAP does not

In England, researchers studied 13.9 million children and found that COVID-19 infection raised the risk of rare heart and blood conditions for at least 12 months, while vaccination raised a smaller short-term risk of heart inflammation. www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

It seems almost weekly now that there is a headline about a healthcare worker who has been violently assaulted by a patient. When will it stop?

The coordinated nature of this—none are facing voters in 2026—means that either Schumer approved it or failed in his job as Senate Majority Leader to stop it. Dems voting "no" get zero credit until they demand a change in leadership. Schumer out as Leader, Durbin out as Whip.

And now we know why the shutdown is ending.

Great job, @schumer.senate.gov. You've changed the story from "GOP hurting millions of Americans to please unpopular, failing, delusional despot who's destroying his party" to "Dems are too weak and divided in the face of Trump's strength to take a stand and protect Americans"

Sending love to everyone whose health care has been jeopardized by the Democratic cave-in. These Democratic elites will not be part of the solution. We must proceed with that understanding.
