If i give my Olympic gold medal to my mom it doesn’t mean she can longjump.

Believed a post I saw this morning that FIFA moved the world cup out of the US because of security concerns. Double checked it and I’m not seeing it elsewhere. Sigh. Truth in the times of fiction is tough to know.

🔥 From @statuscoupnews.bsky.social : “This is nuts. What the fuck is going on? I’ve never protested in my life… they tell you it’s immigrants — it’s fucking anybody. They’re just trying to scare people. I’m not paid to be here. I have to work in the morning. This is wrong.”

On Jan. 14, a U.S. Senate committee will hold a hearing framed as an inquiry into the safety of medication abortion. In reality, it will be an opportunity for the committee’s antiabortion majority to showcase junk science and misleading narratives to undermine access to mifepristone.

‘Just do what I say and nobody gets hurt’ - ICE agents…..and bank robbers….and terrorists…..and kidnappers All one in the same.

A federal judge has ruled that HHS must restore nearly $12 million in grants to the AAP while an ongoing lawsuit, filed by the Academy, proceeds. This ruling stops HHS’s unlawful retaliation against the AAP for speaking out in defense of children’s health: www.aap.org/en/news-room...

100% this!👇

It’s not enough to destroy healthcare over here? You have international ambitions?

Disappointed that ICE’s murder of a citizen in Minneapolis won’t be prosecuted in Minneapolis. Didn’t we learn from the Catholic Church scandal that a national or international org can move a problematic agent geographically to avoid accountability?

My standards are slipping since the last election. When I check on a friend to see if she is okay, “okay” now includes her kids were gassed with chemical weapons by ICE yesterday at their high school while watching school employees handcuffed. But they’re alive.

Multiple shots were fired. First the ICE agent killed a woman, next the president assassinated the facts.

You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today. This could be you.

Wednesday night dance January 21 balboa park! See you there.

To ‘align with other developed nations’ we would have to have universal healthcare.

If we can capture another country's president, can another country come and capture ours? Asking for a friend.

We have established a precedent that it’s okay to kidnap criminal presidents of countries to bring them to ‘justice’ elsewhere and I do hope that Europe is paying attention.

My quote of the day Masha Gessen

It is utterly catastrophic that RFK Jr. plans to end CDC recommendations for most childhood vaccines. It’s a betrayal of science, ethics, compassion, and the people of the United States. And it was also a specific goal of Project 2025 (page 254).

Balboa park contra dance this Wednesday night!

It’s early morning in the farm house, dogs still asleep. I wake into beauty - Christmas lights and ornaments, houseplants thriving, art by friends and loves hangs on the walls. The news is a wave of horror and grief. I feel this song now. open.spotify.com/track/0Va2A1...

Mark Zuckerberg is building a data center in Louisiana that will use 3x more electricity than all of New Orleans. Oligarchs want YOU to pay for these data centers with higher water & electric bills. Americans must fight back against billionaires who put profits over people.

Babies go through a babbling stage where they imitate tones and patterns of conversation without words or sense. This is what RFK and the MAHA movement sound like to physicians. They use big science words that may fool laypersons but scientists are listening in horror.

Jesse Welles is awesome.

Dusting is the most anti-capitalist chore. Because suddenly you remember all the objects you already own (faint aversion) and make them look nice. **Also good for finding lost charging cords.

I was today years old when I learned it is card sharp, not card shark.

bringing this statement over from Alice’s Twitter. it appears the below was Alice’s last post before passing. I am heartbroken

"Pete, you strike the second the Epstein Files are released and you keep killing and blowing things up until Americans stop talking about those files. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Have a hot teen bring me a Diet Coke."

I’m not surprised that a politician is selling hate. I am surprised that so many people are buying.

Miller is trying to push this through- This act would disproportionately impact people who have changed their names (i.e. married women, trans people), people who don't have the funds or ability to update incorrect documentation, and people who may not have their documents at all.

Trump & Republicans are quietly trying to disenfranchise millions of Americans. Submit a comment to the EAC to stop their scheme and protect voting rights: act.standupamerica.com/letters/eac-...

The director of the National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion has just been laid off.

Researchers discovered that since 2017, firearms have surpassed motor vehicle collisions as the leading cause of mortality for youth ages 11-18, spiking from 1,945 deaths in 2001 to 3,224 in 2022.

Just voted YES on PROP 50!! Make sure to vote early! THIS IS WHAT DEMOCRACY LOOKS LIKE!

This Is Fascism

Wen should direct more attention to incidents like these because Americans are more likely to respond to brutality to pets than to brutality to human beings.

Holy fuck

Adelita Grijalva won her election fair and square. Now House Speaker Mike Johnson is refusing to swear her in because she would be the final signature to release the Epstein files. Mr. Speaker, respect democracy. Obey the law. Swear Representative Grijalva in immediately.

Laughter is medicine. G’night all

Do you ever get so deeply distressed about torture disguised as ‘laws’ that the state of South Carolina is trying to pass that you can’t sleep? I do.
