This is Penny. She had her first vet appointment today. Was diagnosed with a case of the eepies. But other than that passed with flying colors. 12/10 (TT: misspennyperry)

We- including the US most certainly- remain drastically underprepared, whether for human-human, or other animal- human, disease transmission. It's not a nice thought. #hantavirus #publichealth #epidemiology #cruisenothanks

We murdered two more people in a boat today. One survived the strike.

Kevin González is 18 years old and dying of cancer. He can’t say goodbye to his parents because ICE grabbed them. They did the same thing to Wael Tarabishi, a 30 year old disabled man. They took his father and full time caregiver away. Wael died 3 months later.

The Supreme Court must be reformed. They fear nothing because there's no accountability.

He's also still using "excursion" because six weeks ago some general told him this would be a "limited military incursion" and he was too dumb to understand it. Now none of his bootlicking staffers are willing to correct him. So we all proceed as if this is normal.

The administration essentially wants to erase trans folks from all aspects of public life, and if you’re not standing up and fighting for the rights of our trans sibs right now, you need to start today.

I write about people who became famous for saying and doing horrible things so I routinely get asked this question. "Did they really believe it?" Look, I get the curiosity, but in the grand scheme of things it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter what's in their hearts. They put evil into the world.

I'm still furious that Joe Biden and Pete Buttigieg launched this war against Iran.

People really memory holed-covid, due to a huge far right propaganda effort. That's why all you hear about is lockdowns, and not: - hospitals out of capacity - Skype calls with family members in quarantine as they died - bodies stored in freezer trailors - mass graves in NYC

😂🤣😂

“It is both deeply disturbing and completely unsurprising that this government has hired MVM to conduct so-called ‘wellness checks’. These checks have already terrorized numerous children and have led to family separation throughout the country.” www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Here’s how South Carolina beat back a measles outbreak: “Measles vaccinations were the most effective single containment tool”

clear goal of republicans in these states is to, in the words of carter glass, “eliminate every Negro voter who can be gotten rid of, legally, without materially impairing the numerical strength of the white electorate.”

this is truly obscene and horrifying

Following months of activism, 1,500 beagles are being released from the Ridglan Farms testing facility to animal rescue groups: the Beagle Freedom Project and Big Dog Ranch Rescue. To all the dogs being released, we wish you many years in loving homes. 14/10 for all

He has to go. It’s not just that he’s a religious zealot. It should be apparent by now that he is deeply unwell. Your faith does not give you a pass on basic mental soundness.

Y’all don’t know how despucable these folks are. www.al.com/politics/202...

Alito authoring opinion saying fixing a racial gerrymander is also racist and then musing, 2 hours later, during oral argument about Trump's racist effort to end humanitarian protections against deportation for Haitians, about how he doesn't like dividing up people by race I loathe this man so much

I am not being hyperbolic. Our insistence on segregating our histories, in encapsulating the struggle for voting/civil rights as a Black struggle and not an American one, has helped bring us to this moment. We did not have representative democracy until 1965. W/o the VRA, it is unlikely to survive.

7 Senate Democrats just voted to confirm Trump's director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives.: Fetterman Hassan Kaine King Klobuchar Shaheen Whitehouse

The Court of White Supremacy reaffirmed the myth that intent—not outcome—determines if a policy is racist. A myth widely believed by Democrats opposing today’s ruling and Republicans cheering the decimation of the Voting Rights Act.

The basic view of Alito and the rest of the Roberts Court when it comes to voting rights is that black people can vote for anyone they want as long as it is a Republican.

This was a 6-3 decision. Alito wrote the majority opinion. All three liberal justices dissented.

Just print this out and paste it all over gas pumps in their states.

Just wild that the Secret Service shot a Donald Trump supporter dead at Mar-a-Lago two months ago because he had a gun & was trying to kill the president over the Epstein files but—speaking only for myself—I haven’t heard a word about it amid the coverage tonight www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

The morning of the WHCD trump posted a meme that called him “Hussein Obama” and not a single journalist has asked anyone in the White House if that’s bad

Has the media ever demanded Trump tone down his violent rhetoric? Ever?

Looking forward to seeing folks tonight! #mapoli secure.actblue.com/donate/pmvir...

yeah my thought when i hear that is "tell this to the president and his goons"

Film you've watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Star Trek, Star Wars, LOTR, DC, Marvel, Disney, Pixar, Spielberg, Cameron, Wachowskis, or Ghibli.

What the fuck are we doing here

Chillingly explicit blood and soil nationalism here

And all of this unfolding in a banquet hall decorated with a giant banner celebrating the first amendment.

Prepare to see a lot of this stuff from the right.

these people are worthless

everything seems extremely cool and good

They’re only now starting to wonder if they’re the bad guys?

But tax cuts would help money "trickle down" to the rest of us peasants, as billionaires would create more jobs? Right? Right??? www.nytimes.com/2026/04/23/t...

Uhhh… welcome? There’s, uhh, pie and punch in the back.

This MAGA influencer lied and said he was with CNN to trick gay dads into being interviewed. Then he accused them of sexually abusing their child because they're gay. The right wing propaganda machine moved from "trans people predators" to "gay dads are sexual predators" without skipping a beat.

⚠️ During the Iran War, the US military has used: • At least 45% of its Precision Strike Missiles • At least half of its THAAD missiles • Almost 50% of its Patriot air defense interceptor missiles This has created “near-term risk” of running out of ammunition in future conflict.

not good

that's fuckin creepy
