“Her insurance also covers her 14-year-old daughter, and forgoing a plan altogether isn’t an option because Ms. Morringello has a history of cancer and needs continuing care.” Forgoing isn’t an option because everyone needs and deserves health care. Everyone. Everyone.

A lot of managers hear an employee who is a mom say, “I have a hard out at 4pm.” and think “she can’t handle additional responsibilities because she has other priorities.” But in reality it just means she has a hard out at 4pm.

Same man would also ask “AITA for asking my woman to wash some dishes once in a while when the sink is constantly full of dirty ones?”

I want a 13th Amendment lawsuit challenging prison slavery, espech in immigration detention I know youre thinkin 'the Constitution's ban on slavery explicitly exempts prison labor' but it's actually slightly narrower, exempting "punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted"

30 minute sheet pan dry cleaners. 30 minute sheet pan catching up with friends. 30 minute sheet pan making love to your beautiful wife.

“Basket of deplorables” was such a catchy phrase that it effectively drowned out anything and everything else she said. But it’s also virulent misogyny because you can’t tell me “grab them by the pussy” wasn’t equally catchy and narratively potent.

This… is… indenture?

🔥🔥🔥

A vibe

The moment you start defining “the right sort of baby” this country does not get to be called “land of the free” lol, I don’t make the rules

This is like the perfect embodiment of a malignant trickster in app form

People that think ending birthright preserves the value of American citizenship ironically are advocating for stripping it of all its real worth

Excuse me, ma’am. You dropped your crown.

This is hilarious in the worst way. After wasting half the interview on how good the world have always thought the US is, this admiral basically says the military is too apolitical to justify doing anything ever, but also when truth needs to be spoken to power within their ranks it will just happen.

"A Luddite is someone who is against the *abuse* - not the use - of technology." The kids get it.

"wait your turn" is a thing only said by people who are afraid of being defeated on merit

Anyone who votes to end birthright citizenship as it is understood now, in defiance of clear law and the tradition they claim to value? They are voting to create a permanent underclass of rightness, stateless people in the United States. They are voting to bring back slavery.

There is no measured way to say what I am about to say. If the Supreme Court agrees with the Trump administration to end birthright citizenship, we must end this current Supreme Court. I do not say this lightly.

I have a question. Is this the same person?

Here is the bottom line: You not white? You’re on ICE’s radar, you look like someone who might not be “legal.”

I wish she tried this at a Waffle House instead

Why do the local men never try to eliminate crime by investing in struggling communities and helping end prison industrial complex 🧐

It’s low key giving Red Wedding lol

I’m so proud of my toddler for defending his bodily autonomy, but I’m still gonna change his poopy diaper lol

Randos try to sound smart by deriding studios for using their crowd-pleasing cash cows to subsidize good art as if this wasn’t the plan all along 🙄

When the president deputizes right wing thugs their violence is no longer classified as terrorism. So of course it looks like left wing violence is increasing. Extralegal right wing violence is now just policy. ICE is shooting pepper balls and kidnapping people as I type this.

So is he a cynic without real morals or a dangerously ideological Muslim? Or is he “whatever that sounds worse at the moment.”

political pundits stop just coming up with new ways of rebranding feckless vacuity as strategy 2025 challenge

A penny for what James Comey is thinking about right now

I think that generally arrogance begets stupidity and mistakes, and it doesn’t matter how smart you are or think you are

Medicaid work requirements are just bad. But, as I wrote for @motherjones.com, there’s an extra level of vileness going on with them being implemented as more work-from-home jobs disappear. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

who could have possibly predicted

A disturbing number of these people said they gave DOGE people the benefit of the doubt. I’m sympathetic but also am just aghast they didn’t see at least the shape of what was coming???

Microsoft will no longer allow Israel to use its cloud services to enable its mass surveillance of occupied Palestinians – "the first known case of a US technology company withdrawing services provided to the Israeli military since the beginning of its war on Gaza"

This is neither here or there but if Rowling is still your problematic fave because of those books…please read more

It is actually possible to stop loving someone because you learned one of their deep held beliefs is horrifying and their actions wantonly destructive. But sometimes you’re just not that horrified and then we learn what you really think.

I feel this so much. Who knew so many people takes the simple action of questioning as a threat and an act of aggression 🙃 Sometimes you didn’t explain something as clearly as I need you to, and just means you need to answer my questions, don’t feel embarrassed!

10/ Instead of centering men who missed the boat (and still don't seem to get it), let's lift up the work of Paulina Borsook, who saw it all very clearly and tried to warn us 25 years ago. Someone should do a profile of her very interesting life. And hey, let's drop some cash into her GoFundme!

I’ve said this about the appeal of some video games too, where you’re rewarded in a seemingly meritocratic manner & winning is guaranteed for knowing and executing the rules well. Some seek escape in these worlds because the real world feels rigged against them, except some of these ppl are wrong.

1/ A longtime Wired editor just wrote a mush-brained essay about how he totally missed the political rot of Silicon Valley (& still doesn't get it). But in the late 1990s, a Wired journalist warned of a toxic ideology bubbling up from tech. Paulina Borsook has largely been erased. Let's change that

I continue to hate that he gets to do things first and time passes and people get hurt before a judge finds something obviously illegal illegal

go off, entertainment weekly!

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA 10 YEAR OLD ME IS LOSING HER MIND (a thread 🧵)

Inside of me there are two lions. Both have anxiety.

I have never found a portrayal of Christ more relatable.

Nothing makes me feel old like not finding the boys in “The Summer I Turned Pretty” particularly hot 😂 I know I know, their rizz is not for the likes of me.

TIL Erika Kirk has a doctorate in Christian leadership (what is that??)

Trump take Rapture

Shouldn’t it at least be “fuck ICE”

www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8Ssmvpk/ Hey @npr.org, it would’ve been good to mention in your article this far more measured letter sent out to physicians by the head of the FDA on the matter of acetaminophen, basically an “as you were.”
