I think there’s a small chance he’s some kind of hostage as Vance makes a doomed power play
They’re getting booed out of their own town halls - now would actually be the time to start talking about this
They’ve already exploited every loophole in it, may as well try something new A crucial problem is no snap elections We could literally basically borrow from the UK or any other commonwealth country France is on what their 6th republic? What are you afraid of lol
worshipping a 200+ yo document that wasn’t built very well to begin with And keep waiting for the midterms - sit & wait for 14 months trusting like a fool they’ll happen honestly Toddler level thinking
😂 good luck with that We’re on our 2nd constitution as it is - why not a third? Like many Americans you’re too in love with a document & institutions I don’t want t to blow your mind or anything but we could try a parliamentary system w/snap elections. We could totally reform the SC But no keep
He lied on the campaign trail in the sense that he didn’t say he’d cut Medicaid & Medicare. Al Green was right; he had no mandate for that Of course leave it to Dems to not latch onto a simple effective message like that
Ignore the Labor Day end of season nonsense, we still have 22 days of summer left
It’s just the mob it’s how they work
I asked my niece for a phone book; she rolled her eyes, said, “OK Boomer” and handed me her phone. Now her phone case is cracked and she’s furious but I got that spider.
It looks like it smells bad
My ancestry DNA test said I likely have a cleft chin but I def don’t, even at my skinniest my face is so fat no clefts can be found
They know he did get scrutiny; they’re just lying as usual
He was a great SCTV guest, did a fun cover if a Springsteen song
No the whole thing has to be torn up The GOP looked for every weak point in the constitution We need to fully go back to the drawing board: new constitution & all Pretend you’re French get suspicious of the whole thing
My mom was shitty to me, I didn’t turn into THAT. A lot of us have a bad Irish Catholic family. We don’t try and keep others from accessing healthcare over it
Is this like a double coup? Trump tramples the constitution then I dunno Vance & Thiel try to trample Trump? Vance is WILDLY unlikable this will be funny at least.
I was raised Catholic, I have a weird aunt with 10 kids (8 surviving) I agree the focus on reproduction is strange. Oddly that aunt is terrible with children, she’s the last person who should’ve raised 8 of them. It is always some weirdo; it’s never a nice stable person.
You know I had the grades for law school but didn’t go. Just like some of these MAGAs who are so mad that so many people are more motivated than they are. She earned this.
…it doesn’t work, though? Like you can have genius level people having kids. Most of their kids will be average. Now, they may get into Harvard as a legacy or whatever —they may benefit from the parent’s connections, but you literally can’t ’breed’ smart people that’s not how any of this works.
The sperm bank idea is I guess flattering but they don’t even get to touch like a pretty lady. I mean…I don’t get it I don’t think?
daughter was a genius, worked for NASA. They mocked her for not being ‘feminine’ enough. Good luck to these racists & eugenicists because one, genius is not always hereditary theres something beyond genes at work. Two, people are fucking bullies even to their own kids.
My grandfather was some kind of genius, skipped I think 3 grades in school. His kids: utterly mediocre, and tried to stamp any exceptional talents out of their kids out of I guess bitterness. My bro, ranked distance runner,didn’t get a scholarship our mom forced him into homelessness. My aunt’s
This would be stupid because Trump is the only one w/a cult who’d be able to accomplish Putin’s aims Oh well
Vance is even less likable than Thiel
❤️
Mary Shelley wrote an entire book trying to warn us about extremely arrogant nerds who create things irresponsibly and take no accountability for them for when they wreck society, by the way.
"Everyday People" by Sly & The Family Stone is a powerful anthem of unity, highlighting that despite differences, all people are equal and should coexist peacefully. Its messages challenged prejudice and celebrated inclusivity, as the band was one of the first major integrated rock groups.
Incredibly disturbing that the overall # is in the thousands. I get hunting rifles, I even get a like six bullet pistol for protection, I guess, if you live in the middle of nowhere. But these semi automatic weapons need to go.
Look, everything I’ve learned about fascism I had to because they killed most of my family a couple generations ago. I pray everyone else catches up before they have to learn it the same way.
Do we know this is even a trans person? My sister was a great shot putter in HS, v muscly. She prob has high T for a female. Higher than avg T was a factor in our dad’s cancer; it may just be genetic. Like are they just bothering a nice kid who’s not even trans? These people are just so weird
Hot moms in your area want you to empty the damn dishwasher already.
The weird noises in my house make me terrified it's haunted by all the different fruits we've ever eaten here. But maybe that's just bananas.
For at least 3 generations the #GOP has deliberately worked to dumb down, dilute and falsify public education b/c the stupid, the superstitious, the undereducated and the gullible are much easier to control. And the proof is in the number of people who still think Trump is the answer to our future.
Stay ahead of the heat this Labor Day: 💧 Drink plenty of water ☀️ Limit outdoor activity during peak hours ✅ Check on neighbors, kids, and at-risk elders 🐶 Never leave children or pets in cars Let’s take care of each other, California.
Maybe he was visited by three ghosts??
oils or whatever these people want it to be.
delays he didn’t start talking until he was like three. Society used to run on ‘well that person is a little different, leave it alone’ now we want to categorize people and I dunno being outgoing is seen as the default. All of this is about how do we decide what a disability is, not soy or seed
We already know the answer to this it’s that the definition of autism changed, first to include Asperger’s and then to be a whole spectrum. This isn’t environmental it’s about how do people define a disorder. There’s no like single cause and if you look at history people like Petain had verbal
If you know anything about the DSM & its evolution, Allen Frances has attributed the increases in diagnoses of autism to the way it’s defined in the manual. Once they went from classic heavy symptoms to adding Asperger’s diagnoses exploded. People need a diagnostic code to access services in schools
They’re wasting money this way on trying to prosecute for chalk art? Even if this art was something I disagreed with…it is CHALK.
I send care packages to a homeless charity in phoenix. You can get that stuff elsewhere, and send it anyway

Aren’t his kids vaccinated? What a shit father & person
BREAKING: Maine's highest court strengthened the right to remain silent and access counsel. It ruled police must stop questioning suspects if they invoke the right to remain silent or request counsel – even if the request is ambiguous. This expands state protections beyond federal Miranda rights.
Snowmobiles? TF?
2020: COVID shutdown, Americans lose their small businesses in many places. Nationwide unrest after the killing of George Floyd. Vance: I’m now a DJT supporter due to the peace &prosperity of his 1st term Trump 2025: Dept of WAR, bitches!! We play offense, too! Vance: ok cool
Have we considered the possibility that he used so much bronzer that ICE accidentally deported him to El Salvador?
Some personal news: My Son is officially canceling his second coming until y’all are actually ready to listen to Him.
So many people gleefully wishing and hoping for the death of our President. What does that say about humanity? There's hope for it.
Hangover in your 20s: eat a cheesesteak sandwich, go to work a little drunk, worry about where your underwear went later Hangover over 40: you have been run over by a Zamboni 13 times in a row, you won't move for three days, foods that might help worsen your acid reflux, just kill me it's kinder.
I don’t like Trump but when he dies there’s still Miller, Thiel, Musk & their frontmen to deal with. You have to do something now (protest, light sabotage, anything) because this won’t end with one death
Goodness, if the President has a serious health problem I certainly hope he follows the expert medical advice of his Secretary of Health and Human Services
Thei wante us talkinge on our phones to a demon thei created, and not goinge places and being wyth each othir yn art and joy and communitye. Thei want to sell us hell and have us pay for it.
This won’t touch him, he’s a narcissist he’ll blame Elon and Twitter but never ever feel it’s him
I don’t think his cult will go quietly and no one likes Vance even them If he is dead this’ll be interesting but probably also horrible
Vance getting ambitious Trump sends Vance on fools errands (go to Greenland for 3 hrs) Honestly maybe this is just Trump setting Vance up for a fall, he’ll have him arrested for something and install Javanka as his successors
i don’t like the idea of the president missing. he could be anywhere. i am suddenly aware how little i appreciated opening my shower curtain knowing the president would not be standing there
Camping is like a jumpsuit. At first, you've never felt freer, but then you have to go to the bathroom & you feel trapped.
City officials are looking into two city-owned bldgs -- including Harlem Hospital -- as they trace the current Legionnaires' disease outbreak, the second largest in city history. from @c-sommerfeldt.bsky.social and me
“You cannot argue with stupid people. They will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience” -Mark Twain This is why the medical experts are leaving the CDC.
at times and it doesn’t make sense. But SHEIN is not what’s keeping the overwhelming majority of poor people poor.
This. A lot of people are poor because wages haven’t kept up with the cost of living. Some people have spending problems, but that’s always been the case. In fact my mom’s $20/day scratchers habit in the 90s was justified to her because at least she wasn’t “wasting it on shoes.” People do overspend
ffs I just paid all these bills a month ago
Huh? No one can have kids HERE due to lack of housing & money…why would space be easier
They really, really hate women for some reason
Well this is infuriating
the constitution & whose DOGE nonsense has set us way back is Elon Musk, a guy who gamed the student visa system.
where provinces have a say in who immigrates/studies there, I had to go through a process like that. The refusal of entry to people w/visas, and things like holding tourists with paperwork mistakes etc is what will keep people away IMO. The one actual problem immigrant who’s trying to undermine
I think I already said the way they’re treating people at the border (refusing entry to a Lebanese doctor who worked at Brown & had a visa) is why I wouldn’t come if I was an international student. But as a policy on paper I think many countries already do things like this. As I said, in Canada
It’s like a health cupcake, it’s like getting carob instead of chocolate
errors for days instead of just sending them home are bigger concerns to me than the new student visa rules TBH. If you’re still a student it’s not hard to show that. International enrollment is declining but I think that’s about the fascism.
I had to renew my Quebec student authorization when I was at McGill, I’m not sure asking students to renew a visa is unusual around the world. I wouldn’t come to the US from anywhere for a variety of reasons right now but denying people with visas entry or holding people who made honest paperwork
I don’t think this is true, people turned out in droves for Obama. Trump won an election in 2024 where 90 million voters didn’t vote.
I think a lot of time people don’t realize they’re in a bad relationship with themselves. That’s why you feel like that. You have a practice of betraying yourself Inner dialogue is just Mean You’re hard on yourself about everything
My therapist told me somethin I will never let go of… You’re not “self aware” just cuz you’re good at pointing out all of your flaws. If you can’t also point out all your goodness you’re just a bully

Starbucks CEO pay: $96 MILLION Starbucks worker pay: $15,000 Coca-Cola CEO pay: $28 MILLION Coca-Cola worker pay: $14,000 CEOs used to make like 20x the average worker. In 2024, the average CEO earned 632x more. The system is rigged.
Thou shalt not listen to a damn thing that RFK Jr. says.
We had well water when I was a kid and I’m at the dentist like 4x/yr. Fluoride works!
I hope the taxpayers revolt
Turns out setting up an immigration detention tent camp without legal authority in a protected swamp nature preserve with a dark sky designation, that had almost zero infrastructure, in the scorching hot Florida summer, during hurricane season, did not turn out well.
We're going to have a big beautiful dark age, perhaps darker than ever before. And I think you'll be very happy
He’s trying to punish states that didn’t vote for him in huge numbers. The same way he dumped some of California’s water reserve for I think agriculture (?) months ago. He would like for the country to burn down.
An idiot?
Well good then It is increasingly hard to tell what is The Onion style satire & what is real
Thank you for your attention to this matter
Like this is a terrible terrible take on his part. He’s an attorney and a nutty one at that. Not a doctor.
funding to produce more psychiatrists & therapists. They’re trying to restrict access to things that are overall good like the COVID vaccine. Trump put basically Lysenko in charge of healthcare. When RFK is done the available meds will be worse for patients & there will be less patient monitoring.
It’s really important also that we have a shortage of psych prescribers, a lot of times PCPs not specialists are putting people on psych meds. But no blame the typically safe meds, not the scaffolding around it that makes prescribing them turn out badly sometimes. This admin is messing w/student
The patient was in a low swing of bipolar, not depressed, things like that. But encouraging paranoia about meds that help people is not the way to go.
prescription of some meds in psychiatry but SSRIs have overall been a good thing. Prior to newer antidepressants people could OD pretty easily. They’re determined to throw the baby out w/the bathwater. Yeah some people react badly to some meds. That can be an indicator diagnosis was incorrect —
Pretty commonly known problem is that SSRIs can take someone from low energy/motivation due to depression, to just well enough to execute a plan for self harm. The solution is basically have people get talk therapy/social support plus meds. Not just meds, and not ban meds. There’s def some over-
kind of wonder if it’s generational or what, because at some point it went from “I have a little appropriate help w/bills and some company sometimes” to scam levels of rent.
People are asking like $1500 last time I checked and a lot are prob basically AirBnbs. It’s def a cultural shift from people who were like, “my kids are nervous about me living alone, just looking for a clean quiet tenant with a job” to “this is how I’ll end up like [billionaire] someday.” I do
Yeah my grandparents did that in the 90s or early 00s. I wish municipalities would look at ways to incentivize long term renters. (Offer a tax credit to small landlords w/long term tenants, tax 2nd homes that sit vacant). When I first moved to LA in 2012 I rented a room from a grandma for $300
Look how crazy this woman’s eyebrows are You can’t trust someone who does that to their own face.
