Someone that I know, who is nice to me, had her husband die unexpectedly last week. I don't really know what to do in these situations, so I offered to bring her food, which she accepted, so I did. Tonight, she had a memorial, and I only met the guy once, but I erred on the side of being nice.

“I would like to remind everyone that the idyllic prosperity of the 1950s, that everyone seems to want to harken back to so badly, was made possible by a top marginal tax rate of 91% for the richest Americans.” ~ Ali Hormann Creative ➡️ Medicare for All & Remove Cap on Social Security Contributions!

Seems bad for our society when you can’t make racist terrorists the villains

I'm watching the news. The Gilgo Beach serial killer suspect (left) was on screen and I mistook him for Ed Martin (right).

Nexstar and Sinclair decided what "community standards" are and imposed them on unwilling communities like New Orleans and Seattle. I guess that the 59% of people in NOLA who are Black support racism against themselves and support far right wing hate, despite their voting trends. Stand up, NOLA!

Another take from Monday's crazy WH presser: Did y'all notice that when 47 brought up the idea that the Hep B vax shouldn't be given to babies because the transmission is sexual, he suggested a creepy alternative: Give Hep B vax at age 12. That's his notion of when kids get sexually active: age 12.

But what's really bad, y'all, is Jimmy Kimmel making a joke about Trump's reaction to Charlie Kirk's assassination.

Kind of would like a world where one of the President’s staff accidentally triggering an escalator safety stop doesn’t trigger calls to bomb the UN.

He *is* right that that Charlie Kirk quote was taken out of context. He then said that Black women take white men's jobs. Because good jobs are for white men, not the best person for the job.

They’ve got their false narrative. They don’t care about the truth.

The GOP loves the Constitution so much that they try to violate it at every opportunity.

SO MANY conservative Millennials seem to have taken the experience of being told to shut the fuck up on Tumblr or to check their privilege in a freshman college seminar and turned that brief moment of anger and embarrassment into their entire personality 15-20 years later.

If he got booted out of the comments section of Gawker, he was already radicalized.

Getting radicalized because I got too many comments deleted on battle.net forums

Ed Martin sent a letter to the FBI agent's attorney demanding to know if he was paid for his testimony in the Alex Jones civil case, asks that the attorney keep it secret, then emailed a copy to Jones, who tweeted it with a claim that the FBI was finally invesigat8nf the Democratic Party's lawfare.

The "Peace Through Strength" President who ends all wars and should win a Nobel Consolation Prize.

The UN escalator stopping when Trump got on is "an insurrection" and we should "leave the UN or bomb it." Last best guess about cause is that Trump's videographer, who went first, tripped a safety mechanism when he got off. What was that about the Left being violent and the Right not?

right but why is the healing always at the expense of people in danger why can't the healing just this once be straight up nazis admitting they were wrong

Oh hey, it's 12:30 am on Sept 24. Did the Rapture happen?

He launched a more powerful defense of journalism than the vast majority of mainstream journalists have and that's an indictment of them.

You'll notice Charlie Kirk is not mentioned

you neurotypical people wouldn’t last a single day being treated the way you pieces of shit treat neurodivergent folks. when are we gonna talk about the neurotypical problem

“Chaffee said that while $418 million was spent in 2020 on autism research, just 8% of that went to research on improving the quality of support and services for people with autism and their families.”

I wonder what he has to say about kids in public school who bully gay and Trans kids.

And not telling them "no."

This except sums up our existence pretty well.

Finally reading the full Gold Card EO and wow is it wild. The order says that any person who pays $1 million is, by definition, a person of "exceptional business ability" and therefore qualified for an EB-2 visa. Does anything better sum up the Trump ethos than "all rich people are exceptional."?

A Black man called a retiring white coach "divisive," which white male pundits said was due to the coach's support for Israel. But it's probably because that coach made racist comments about Obama and said that racism wasn't a problem for Black basketball players.

Caroline Leavitt tweets "If someone at the UN intentionally stopped the escalator as the President and First Lady were stepping on, they need to be fired and investigated immediately." In that order, of course.

This committee works to fight sexism and sexual harassment in the military, which somehow "hurts combat readiness." I'm not sure what part of "you can now rape your team member" helps the combat readiness of the team.

FFS. Drugs don't get off-label use changed to on-label use by the FDA without repeated, professional-quality efficacy studies, which have not yet been done. I've taken off-label drugs. I have one dual on-label, off-label drug now. There is a procedure and this is not it!

i think america would be a better place if everyone just stopped paying attention to politico til they went out of business. there’s no “autism problem” just like there’s no “trans debate.” both of those things are eugenics. both questions are really “should these subhumans be allowed to exist?”

We are all this guy

No, *our* country is going to Hell and Trump is driving the handbasket.

While the harassment seems to be smaller scale in this event, the reason that this is happening at all is that Adria Richards was fired for being the target of harassment, showing sexist asses that harassing women gets them fired. She was harassed for "ruining a man's career, which didn't happen.

🚨 NEW STORY: Anybody that tells you folks in Red States haven't been resisting Christian Nationalism in education ain't talking to the right folks. I spoke to citizens in 3 states who are fighting to keep public schools secular. @theprogressivemag.bsky.social progressive.org/public-schoo...

A disabled double amputee named Rodney Taylor has been held in ICE custody since January. He’s been denied his new prosthetic legs and is now in solitary confinement. His “crime”? A burglary when he was a teen for which he received a full pardon. 🧵

a liberalism that treats procedure and process as more important than respecting and maintaining the fundamental rights of individuals is not liberalism imho.

You didn't get your autism from your mom who treated her headache while pregnant. You got it from your dad who can name every model of airplane made since the 1900s.

In high school, other girls tried to bully me by calling me a slut. Me: [I've had sex with 6 guys and have been sexually active for 3 years, which is an average of 1 guy per 6 months. I don't know what the threshold is but I'm pretty sure I'm not approaching it.] "That's not what that word means!"

Tylenol about to BRING the pain.

The USDA claims that "the surveys—which are the federal government’s primary means of gauging hunger—'failed to present anything more than subjective, liberal fodder.'" Ah yes, the scourge of "subjective" statistics that push the liberal idea that everyone deserves to eat.

“But keep coming cause you know what: Tom Homan isn’t going anywhere. Tom Homan doesn’t shut up. And Tom Homan is going to keep doing what he’s doing, ’cause working for President Trump’s the greatest honor of my life." 🙄😂 Yes, we know that you get a sexual thrill from abuela-centric violence.

Antifa is using Tylenol to make masked ICE agents trans.

Kimmel being reinstated showed us the power of collective action It demonstrated that even evil corporations who kowtow to fascism will rethink decisions in the face of financial losses Let’s take that momentum & apply it to trans rights, ending genocide, disability rights, abolishing ice & more

RFK Jr fired the vaccine advisory board with the excuse that they profited from the policies that they pushed (which is false and regularly investigated to ensure compliance). Now they're pushing unproven "cures" that they profit off of. And I *know* MAHA Grandma is going to push the "cure."

In December 2023, Special Counsel Jack Smith asked SCOTUS to grant cert before judgement to hear Trump’s immunity appeal. The court rejected that request and didn’t issue its immunity decision until July 2024. Trump’s federal cases never made it to trial before the November 2024 election.

He's repeatedly lied about 9/11 and has already vowed to sanitize the Smithsonian and other museums by eliminating uncomfortable facts, like, that Black people disliked being slaves. He has falsely claimed that Muslims in NYC celebrated the attack because he's a bigot, and he intends to repeat that.

Well, there it is. Sinclair is digging in for a fight, so please help push back -- find stations in your area, watch their local news to see what ads they run, then write those advertisers to tell them you're boycotting as long as they're on a Sinclair station. List here: sbgi.net/tv-stations/
