If the trip were really a ‘spectacular success,’ you wouldn’t need to threaten people for saying otherwise.

Most of them are Boomers who so many younger ppl want to rag on as 'selfish'.

Crying here too. Thank you for sharing that.

Except that it's the Epstein shut down, and I don't see how they ever come back, because reopening the House means a vote on the Epstein files.

Are the Dodgers capable of making a comeback? It’s win-or-go-home for L.A., and Betts is ice-cold, the defense is leaky and the bullpen depth isn’t bailing them out.

I just saw this question on X 😂 "Why do vaccines only cause autism in the USA?"

from a Jag person. National Guard: If there is an illegal order you do not want to follow, you can refuse and state that you were not trained to do what they are asking you to do.

This is exactly the deal! Fucking extortion 😤

Why are we paying a dime in federal taxes on any level? The government is all but disbanded and what it left is a terrorist organization.

Americans are sick of skipping doctor’s appointments, rationing medicine & delaying lifesaving surgeries because health care is so expensive. If we don’t act now, millions of Americans will lose their health insurance. Dems are fighting to protect our people & reopen the government.

I've never advocated to keep the government shutdown, until now. It's time for the Dems to go scorched earth, just like Republicans do. No cooperation or compromise. Nothing good will come from caving to GOP's extortion demands. #ProudBlue #Pinks #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice

It’s like watching a drunk uncle dance at a relatives wedding. 🥴

I want to see him wear it. In public. With an ermine cape.

First sleep after surgery was rough. I was awake a lot from discomfort and ended up taking an Oxy around 2:30am. Took another when I woke up at 8 and now am fighting off the sleepiness with coffee. Let’s see who wins!

It's been 37 days since Adelita Grijalva was elected by the people of Arizona's seventh congressional district to represent them in Congress. Mike Johnson still refuses to swear her in.

Filmed four episodes of Reading Rainbow, all are out on KidZuko on YouTube 😁 Thankful to still be in the world for this journey. Highest of honors for one of Reading Rainbow & LeVar Burton’s biggest fans ✨ Proud & grateful for all involved! 🦋🌌 “Take a look, it’s in a book!” YOU can be anything 📚🌈

SNAP benefits are set to run out on Saturday. Far-right influencers and extremists are incorrectly claiming that immigrants are the main recipients of food stamps. www.wired.com/story/disinf...

Release the Epstein Files Now! Release the Epstein Files Now! Release the Epstein Files Now!

The only time they do show anything resembling joy is almost always in the face of someone else’s heartache or misfortune, almost always when someone else loses something. The only happiness they seem capable of manufacturing is in response to pain. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/trump-supp...

It’s wildly ironic that MAGAs now have control of the Presidency, Congress, and the Supreme Court, and yet they still manage to feel themselves oppressed, still picture the world as unfair, still rage against a machine they’ve made and are part of. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/trump-supp...

The person who oversees healthcare coverage for more than 160 million Americans is lying about healthcare coverage

🎯 🎯

Food banks in the US are already overwhelmed and it's going to get worse as millions of people lose supports in just a few days. This cannot be stressed enough: Food donations are nice, but they need MONEY. Your support goes a lot further when it's financial. If you're able, please give.

If you work in a grocery store, organize with your coworkers to approach management about food donations. You know how much goes to waste--especially fresh produce. That can be used to feed people. Numbers and persistence are your friends, team up and being annoying.

Just a reminder that my story "Here Instead of There" about dirtbags squatting on a seastead, meteorology, corporate capture of government, and a beagle named Henry is available on the internet for the first time at Escape Pod this month. Links at my Patreon: www.patreon.com/posts/140906...

We should have punished the Confederates.

I think a lot about the chance we had at the start of COVID to finally become a more compassionate, collectivist nation, and how profoundly we were failed not only by the sociopathic greed of the ruling class but by each other. It doesn’t mean we won’t get there, but the lost opportunity haunts me.

Good morning. Is he dead yet?

The routine MRIs have been moved to a daily schedule.

Pope Leo XIV isn't quite my tribe, but his vibe does align well enough with תִּיקּוּן עוֹלָם (tikkun olam), which means repair the world. Whether borne of faith, morality, ethics, or just plain decency, we all ought to get about the work of lifting up the most vulnerable among us.

Dr Oz says healthcare premiums will only increase $13 and it’s no big deal Premiums will increase much more than that It’s interesting that $13 is “no big deal” when people are screaming that their tax dollars shouldn’t go towards SNAP You know how much the average taxpayer pays for SNAP? $36.

Good morning from @altyellonatpark.org

JD Vance claims that diversity weakens unions, as people end up distrusting each other and not organizing. Let me tell you two menswear stories related to this claim. 🧵

The President of the United States was bragging about taking a fucking Dementia test and the media is not blasting it on the front page every day. Fucking failure.

I very much miss getting the little dvd copy of your MRI results so that you could obsess over it without any real understanding of what you’re looking at.

“This has NOTHING to do with the SHUTDOWN. The law REQUIRES and the funds are available to continue SNAP right now without any interruption. So that is a DECISION the president is making on his own to ALLOW people to go HUNGRY." - Senator Peter Welch on SNAP Cuts

fyi, the SNAP eliminations are a Project 2025 mandate. SNAP recipients didn’t lose benefits during prior such shutdowns. Pay attention.

l'État n'est pas lui

Good morning everyone Coffee and this In all my years Never thought I'd ever see letting children go hungry and families lose their healthcare What have we become ?

Dr Oz: “I think we all agree that Covid has passed”. No we do not agree! Anyone who thinks Covid has passed has no business in charge of public health. It’s still here. It’s still killing and disabling. Get your booster if you can. Wear a mask (ideally an N95) and clean the air!

Thank you for the very important work you do. They are so blessed to have a human who cares about them as you obviously do. We are in Dark times. Acts like theirs will help us through.
