News flash, voting to confirm RFK means your top priority actually is treating children as disposable in exchange for favor with your political party and corrupt leader

Lyft drivers who randomly chat with me about how concerned they are when loved ones outsource their thinking to AI get extra tips.

We don't have the disability education infrastructure to support a growing number of kids who are going to be disabled because their parents didn't get them vaccines against illnesses that can lead to the development of disabilities.

Once again friends, Harvard is not and will never be the resistance.

I have feedback for whoever decided all Baltimore area summer camp registration should occur at 9am after a 2 week holiday break in which we all had our kids home, and spent all our money, and my feedback is what the hell why?

Utah commissioned it's department of health to do a systematic review of gender affirming care for trans youth. In a 1000 page plus report found it was beneficial and the evidence was substantial. The lawmakers rejected it anyways. www.deseret.com/politics/202...

This. As a left leaning child in a conservative family, all I was fed growing up was that “the adult position” was war, knowing we can’t afford to feed and house everyone, and incarcerating people. Violence and neglect are not adult positions.

"But Wiles conceded that attacking targets on Venezuela’s mainland would force Trump to get congressional approval. 'If he were to authorize some activity on land, then it’s war, then [we’d need] Congress.'" - WH Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, Nov 2, 2025 interview www.vanityfair.com/news/story/t...

We can hold compassion for the range of emotions Venezuelans may be experiencing — including positive emotions — and also be clear that regime change by a fascist superpower is dangerous, destabilizing, and sets precedents that will not stop at Venezuela. Those aren’t contradictory positions.

I remember when they were saying they were powerless to return a man they illegally sent to an El Salvador gulag because it would violate that country's national sovereignty.

Sickening

Made vegan chicken noodle soup for a neighborhood soup swap, but cut the pasta into star shape. This is def the cutest soup I’ve made.

If your position is that regime change should be forced on countries where the president does not respect democratic norms and regularly kidnaps opponents using an officially sanctioned paramiliatary, have I got news for you about your position on the United States

I do not want an American news network who “loves America” as a principle. I want one who loves the truth.

Y’all I was trying to hold onto a smidgen of hope for at least the first week of 2026

it's a real symptom of widespread anti-progressive media bias that an explicitly progressive candidate is expected to feel a need to be apologetic about being progressive.

Sure I mean, why would you want faculty who are at the top of their game now vs. those who may have intellectually peaked in high school (if you take SAT as a proxy for intelligence, which is another discussion)

*googles at what age my slightly older partner will get an AARP card so I can have the discounts

It’s 2026 and one of the first things that has happened is that a major news outlet has announced that it will no longer seek information from experts. I don’t think this is gonna help with what I think is the most existential threat to our society currently: disinformation.

I don't know who needs to hear this but there is a professional hockey league with lots of gay players!!! It's called the Professional Women's Hockey League And they could use your support! www.thepwhl.com/en/

It’s always strange to me that we accept the way the economy is talked about in terms of stock market or GDP or interest rates. What I care about is how many people can’t afford housing, food, child care, or healthcare? If it’s more than zero, our economy is failing us

My fam doesn’t even celebrate Xmas and even I can tell you making all the local summer camp registrations the first week of the new year is exceptionally rude. People just spent so much money on gifts and family. Can we not get til February to plan on paying for summer camps?

This is a great resource if you have thought about masking sometimes but don’t. You can do something. You won’t miss out on anything by wearing a mask in a doctor’s office or grocery story, but you’ll likely get sick a bit less, which is nice.

I guess some folks are comfortable with strange white men breaking into daycare centers in a country where white men are disproportionately mass killers.

like 75% of dem messaging right now should be “the party led by epsteins best friend is breaking into pre-k childcare centers so they can record your toddlers and put the videos on internet”

Please say “ethnic cleansing” when posting this stuff because that’s what they’re broadcasting. They’re broadcasting plans to engage in ethnic cleansing.

How I know I’m too old to be Mayor is I fell asleep at 9. Couldn’t possibly stay awake til midnight to be sworn in.

The idea that daycares should have a reception area, when this country refuses to even subsidize care enough to pay daycare teachers living wages…

Here's a really easy New Year's Resolution: If you're sick with something contagious, you will stay home if your circumstances allow. If you can't stay home, you will mask around others until there is no possibility you are contagious. By making these choices, you will literally save lives.

Republicans cut food and healthcare spending to cut taxes for the rich and increase funding to its kidnapping + terrorizing brown people squad

The congratulations to our newest billionaire articles are wild. Please applaud the newest member of the class of people that wrecked your air, or your water, or your wages, or your right to walk down the street.

The whole Kennedy Center thing simply underscores again that fascists do not make good or even popular art that anyone wants.

The day after Trump was inaugurated, someone online blamed him for egg prices and I I pointed out egg prices were high bc of bird flu, and then they called me MAGA.

“Guys my business model isn’t sustainable unless I can steal people’s work, so we should allow it ok?”

lol, I still can't believe that people of color haven't just been BLASTING "It wasn't ME" by Shaggy since November.

The kid wanted to practice piping for desserts. Hot tip: you can pipe instant mashed potatoes for practice. It’s cheaper than icing and no one in our house ends up feeling sick from all the taste testing

Just over here trying to live long enough and be well enough to work long enough to see my child into adulthood. people mocking those of us who mask to survive or stay well could better spend their efforts punching down against fascism instead of aligning themselves with fascist eugenecists

It was reprehensible when people mocked condom usage at the height of the AIDS pandemic. It is just as depraved to mock those wearing masks to reduce the spread of airborne viruses today. Whenever someone takes any kind of step to protect public health, they should be applauded, not mocked.

I let my 6 yo pick any recipe she wanted to try from one of my cookbooks, so now we have churro ice cream sandwiches and it’s a great day

Politicians introduced 96 bills targeting transgender student athletes in 2025. That’s more than 9x the number of trans people playing college sports nationally.

We also stripped funding from nutrition and health programs so that the regime could better fund its kidnapping squad

A genuinely dispiriting thing about covering sexual violence is how often the suffering of women and children is metabolized as political point-scoring or titillating entertainment.

Oh yes remember how your employer at the end of each year looks at how much the economy grew to decide what percent raise to give you?

I think Weiss’ entire excuse for shelving the CECOT episode was bullshit, but I also think it’s incredibly disturbing to suggest trying to “both sides” the crimes against humanity happening inside a concentration camp

Do you think this student will put on her resume “got a teacher pushed out of her position by weaponizing the current political environment against her” on her resume, to apply for MAGA jobs?

This is a nakedly political and bizarre action What is the goal here, to cast campuses as unsafe places? To scapegoat campuses for a lack of political will to address gun violence? www.ed.gov/about/news/p...

If we aren’t careful/allegiant to big tech, our teens might critically consume more news instead of uncritically accepting government propaganda
