#HealingHearts This one speaks for itself. It's extremely difficult to agree to anything if you're afraid, and perpetrators know perfectly well the power they are weilding. #CSASurvivor #CPTSD #Pinks #ProudBlue 💛💚💜

Every spring I do a KEY PRODUCT ENDORSEMENT for which I receive $0.00. If you garden and poison ivy is an issue, this gets 10/10 stars in our house: Tecnu Extreme Scrub. Just use after exposure or suspected exposure... you won't get a rash.

NATIONAL LIBRARY WEEK Believing a 12-year-old is mature enough to give birth to her rapist's baby, but needs parental approval to check out a book, is peak Republican. Tomorrow, I’ll post a reminder to the GOP about book bans and censorship :-)}

You can call it a hoax. You can call it a staged event. But mostly you can call it the workings of a sick, demented man.

Clears it up a lot.

UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese described the Israeli occupation army as “the most degenerate army on earth,” stating that its practices have crossed all red lines and violated international law. Read: www.middleeastmonitor.com/20260420-un-...

While the NHS faces challenges, some MPs are receiving significant donations from companies profiting from our healthcare system. We believe the NHS should be for patients, not for-profit interests. Read the full report and see the data for yourself: link in bio.

In a nutshell. 😊

MAGA Sycophant Elise Stefanik says that college students chanting "from the river to the sea" is an open call for genocide against Jewish people, but Trump's threat that "A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again," is mere diplomacy against Iranians. 1/2

#science #earthquakes #geology #OTD Trailblazing botanist, Alice Eastwood ran into this building at the California Academy of Sciences in Golden Gate Park after the April 18, 1906 earthquake & saved nearly 1500 key specimens before the fires came. Another unsung heroine of science. Bio in comments

Your daily reminder that people are idiots.

Can't agree with this enough.

When a person loses 1 sense the others are heightened. That's why people who have no sense of humor have an amazing sense of self-importance.

The NHS belongs to the public, not private shareholders. We're found Yvette Cooper accepted £165k+ from private sector interests. Support our crowdfunder to help us continue this vital research: bit.ly/crowdfunder-...

If Bluesky engineers insist on crediting their successes to “AI” while praising vibe-coding, it’s only reasonable for the rest of us to blame their failures on “AI” and vibe-coding as well.

I've been leaked a letter from the Telegraph's new owners. It's now mandatory for the Telegraph's journalists to support Israel. And their new owner's record is deeply disturbing 👇 www.owenjones.news/p/at-the-tel...

Jesus Trump The Contrarian MICHAEL DE ADDER @deadder.bsky.social🇨🇦⭐️

Bernie and AOC carry both the form and spirit of FDR. Please correct me if I’m wrong, but it seems the only reason leaders like Schumer and Jeffries aren’t is because they’re afraid of upsetting the donor class. In which case, we’ve got to burn the system down and rebuild.

Our latest investigation found that Health Secretary Wes Streeting received significant donations from organisations with ties to the private sector. We believe our healthcare system should be protected from such influences. Help us continue this vital work! Donate just £1: link in bio.

I suspect the Pope sounds "woke" to many Christian conservatives because the US is steeped in prosperity theology, where the point of worship is to deliver health and wealth to believers. Thus, "feed the hungry" and "show mercy for the poor" sounds needlessly political and "woke."

I didn’t know this, did you? Amazing!

Best thing I've seen all day.

Democratic Rep Swalwell is resigning from Congress. Good. A step towards accountability. Simultaneously, MAGA Rep Tony Gonzales (who is married) lied about an affair with his aide, Regina Santos-Aviles (who was married). Santos-Aviles later died by suicide. Gonzales faces ZERO GOP accountability.

It’s infuriating how Dems have memory holed months of telling us that dead children don’t matter. They now refuse to admit that strategy didn’t work, and now they’re living in the consequences. That’s the fucking infuriating bit, they’ve learned nothing. Conscience? Never heard of her.

Despise Israel AND The Entire Western Empire Everyone hates Israel now, which is as it should be. But we all need to understand that Israel has never acted alone. www.caitlinjohnst.one/p/despise-is...

“Mr. President, if you and your GOP minions want to end democracy, you have to come thru us…wait, what? They walked past and are behind us now, rounding up citizens and starting illegal wars? Gosh, that’s disappointing. Oh well, we did all we could.“

Jonathan Ross deserves a fair trial. But of course, he must be prosecuted first.

It’s hard to overstate how much of this moment is driven by people who got a taste of accountability and were very, very mad about it.

We're on the brink of global nuclear war and these are the topics of choice of America's "top" papers of record: •NY Times: Did Wokeness Leave Us Worse Off? •WSJ: Pope Leo Goes to War Rather than holding power accountable, they're demonizing marginalized communities and decidedly anti-war Pope. smh

No Doubt War Will Resume': Skeptical Iranians Say It's Too Early to Celebrate Zeteo reports from the ground in Tehran to hear how some ordinary Iranians are feeling about the two-week ceasefire announcement: zeteo.com/p/iran-react...

A second photographer in Los Angeles lost an eye to law enforcement "less-lethal" munitions while just taking pictures at protests. These weapons are supposed to be used ONLY for immediate violent threats. Marshall Woodruff and now Tucker Collins were armed with nothing but a camera.

Trump then: We shouldn't be involved in all these expensive foreign wars. We should be using that money to take care of Americans. Trump now: To hell with Americans. We have an expensive foreign war to pay for.

Just sent out this free midweek update. This was no ordinary Trump TACO, this was Trump accepting Iran's victory conditions as the basis of negotiations. It looks likely that Iran will emerge stronger from this war than before; a total US strategic failure. open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

American decline is due, in large part, to the persistent efforts by rich people to ensure that their own progeny retain wealth and power no matter how stupid and lazy they are.

Lots of media outlets are talking about the cost of doctor strikes today. I can’t see the same outrage about the Trump deal that will cause us to pay more for medicines- it will likely cost many billions🚨 open.substack.com/pub/jujuliag...

UNREAL: Israeli settlers are driving Christians out of West Bank. Settlers set fire to the grounds of the church, St Peter’s. Israeli terrorists "have raided the town four times, setting fire to cars, smashing windows. Yet Zero condemnation by pro-Israel groups! www.theguardian.com/world/2026/a...

I gave up my medical career to fight for NHS patients and staff. Here’s what I’ve learned…

I get almost as many comments about how ugly or fat I am on my workout posts as I did on my posts before I started lifting. I’m not asking for sympathy. I just want to remind Black women that the point isn’t if we are pretty or skinny or not. The point is they want us to not exist.🙄

ECCC was fun and I had a wonderful time. But there was a storm cloud. When I complained about Trump with my white straight cis friends, we were all sincere and concerned. But I talked with many Trans friends, and it’s so much worse. They are in fear for their lives. 1/

If you've watched how NHS England - stuffed, as Kemi Badenoch explicitly told us, with her handpicked transphobes - does trans* healthcare you can't be surprised by this from @erininthemorning.com. But still, it's an important service to see her lay it all out.

This is Andrew Paul Johnson. He's a J6 rioter who was pardoned by Trump. He boasted about being "protected by Trump" & called himself "uberMAGA" & a Patriot. ... He used his 2nd chance to molest children. He will now spend the rest of his life in prison. lawandcrime.com/crime/jan-6-...
