We cannot really afford to be fooling around like this at this late date
Blaming âpolarizationâ really elides the real issue of right-wing radicalization and political dominance. Power analysis fail
The real feat of strength is eating a hot dog on the cyclone anyway
Absolutely off the charts public health capacity on display here.
Number 2%
Letâs make Shit Milk happen
Has anyone written about this, how heâs this reactionary uber Karen and how heâs the masculine standin that offers legitimacy for his female reactionary wealthy fan base
Been watching a lot more RFK interviews than I have in the past lately and itâs striking how reactionary and privileged his ideology is. Itâs all very much hereâs this mundane thing that happened to my rich friend and how I misunderstood it and how it radicalized me.
I am calm. I am breathing deeply through my nose. I am counting to ten. I⌠WHAT, ARE YOU AFRAID YOUR DOG WILL INFODUMP TO YOU ABOUT THE FUCKING BALL?!?
surely we can come up with something better for 7 billion people than being lorded over by a bunch of plundering elderly murder and torture enthusiasts who whisper to each other about printing spare organs so they can immiserate others in perpetuity
There've been two (2) major outbreaks *that I know of* w French raw milk cheeses in the last ~12 months. A fancy raw milk Morbier www.foodsafetynews.com/2025/01/elev... goat's milk cheese www.foodsafetynews.com/2025/07/larg...
performatively reading Frog & Toad alone on a parked tandem bicycle
It wonât even take that long and it wonât just be tradwivesâ children not that it would be it less bad if it were
holy shit dude using a fake deployment for wildland fire crews from a fire thatâs only 13% contained during peak western US fire season to detain multiple firefighters and remove the crews from the fire is a scale of evil & dangerous I canât fully communicate to people not from wildfire regions
Uhhhhhh
The rise of fash fashion is here
He should have his license taken away, but of course Florida would neverâŚ
Just to say what is actually happening in a way the press will never: Your President, a known sexual predator and pedophile, has dispatched the military to terrorize and silence sexual assault victims who, it is likely, he personally interacted with.
i cannot overstate how extraordinary it is for federal civil servants to do this
As an aside: the whole notion of "Judeo-Christian worldviews" are so ridiculous to me. It has nothing to do with Judaism, but instead, was created for churches to convert Jews. It is used as shorthand for Christofascism. See, Vought, Russ.
boy I dunno, 77 is on the young side. and does she even have terminal cancer?
I WILL USE MORE EM-DASHES OUT OF PURE SPITE.
These guys love doing antisemitism about him while also accusing him of it
watched this a FEW times in a row. I love it.
Hmm many such cases
A map of emotional and financial stress, risk, and assorted unnecessary suffering
In Reconstruction 2 weâre going to finally put statues of Grant and Sherman in their respective Circles in DC but the eyes will glow at night like Blucifer
Vance follows a coterie of online Nazis on X, has described Curtis Yarvin as a major intellectual influence, and openly attacks immigrants in blood and soil terms. The response of most of the political press? "Doesn't look like anything to me."
Yeehaw
we embarrassed Cuomo once, we will do it again đ
i just don't think it's at all mysterious why the website that's massively dominated by the exact kind of people that Trump 2.0 is actively persecuting might have more depressing vibes in 2025 than it did in 2024
This is the energy
Drop an old person youâre going to turn into in the future
Figured!! One of the greats
You like Local Hero right?
Yeah letâs see some public health-aganda for once instead of endless copaganda
This should be the lead story in all major national news outlets. Public health people prefer to stay out of the limelight unless there is no other choice. I canât overstate how bad things have to be for 9 former CDC directors to band together and pen an op-ed in the NYT warning the entire country.
Same. And then I waited for her to move to nyc from Spain
I think 182 year old research articles should be free I want to read about the man
my guy has never heard of New York City
with trump and giuliani edging right up to the border of death, the comedic rule of threes now screams for blood
"JESUS man I don't know... tell them i was RESCUING an... an INNOCENT IN DISTRESS before i was HIT AND RUN. i was TOLD you were the BEST"
âHis business partner and medical provider were promptly contacted and arrived at the hospital to oversee his care.â when you have lived a good life and definitely not alienated everyone you know
every day i see hundreds of comments of people spinning elaborate scenarios to explain how trump can control everything and all opposition is futile. a) i think a lot of you need to log off and stop following professional doomsayers. b) i think a lot of you are cowards
The gall to let a source dissemble like this. Thereâs nothing stopping four day work weeks now. Europeans with strong labor unions are getting them. Tech companies pushing AI are cutting staff instead. Itâs all part of the con.
What early bluesky was like
Yes
Although I doubt the bad Naomi would post this particular flavor of antisemitic conspiracy theory
My friends lived in an apartment heâd apparently rented before them and it came up all the time
Mood
okay but u quite literally can write the word pencil with pencil thatâs what a pencil does
Oh sheâs Naomi wolfing it
These people are WEAK, dude. They are WEAK and SCARED.
Hey journalists:
just hangin out at Fiesta Boricua
Current situation with COVID19 vaccines at CVS. ACIP is meeting September 18-19 so it will likely become available at pharmacies w/o a prescription then, unless ACIP pulls the rug out. Prescription requirement related to state laws requiring ACIP approval for pharmacist administration.
who wants to cargo bike me and my dog around like this also willing to do the biking but the dog has to be in there
big. strong people. bird people. they come up to me, you guys know about this? *flaps arms* great big birds *hands over eyes as glasses* sixteen eyes. all over. they come up to me crying. weeping. sir. mr president. sir we've never heard the teeth gnashing so loud before nor furnaces burning so hot
Bluesky right now ...
I hope Iâm at home in Brooklyn when it happens
Whoa
in that scenario we would try darth
there is no question in my mind that rfk jr is the most dangerous person in this administration and that his eugenicist ideology threatens the lives of millions of people www.advocate.com/politics/dem...
I really donât see how he could keep her in that role
So, the NYPD commissionerâs family
We have learned from years of covid vaccine rollouts that whenever there is a change to the ruleset, implementation is not uniform, even within the same pharmacy chain! The CVS near you may be doing something different than the CVS near me. I want to help as many people as possible navigate this.
i am personally in favor of anything that destabilizes the inner circle of the trump administration, up to and including open, rampant and irresponsible speculation about whether he is dying
Strong Station Eleven vibes
Yeah. Letâs see how the organizing goes for a few months too
Or make the puppy bowl the super bowl and their wedding halftime
Itâs literally down to them and the baileys
Lmao
I justâŚ
This is some truly sickening shit to make children do
He needs to be removed
RFK Jr. ordered head of CDC to break the law. That's the story and Dems should demand immediate impeachment hearings www.rawstory.com/cdc-firing-i...
A rough thought: humans are pattern-seeking animals, and operating under a framework of learning that only incorporates confirming evidence and refuses any disconfirming evidence, is a shared feature of psychosis, fascism, and pseudoscientific thinking archive.is/2025.08.29-1...
Everyone except herself
Hey remember when Thomas Jefferson said âI tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just: that his justice cannot sleep foreverâ because he knew what that would mean for him and for the slavers writ large
Stop refusing to learn the lessons of the past 5, 20, 50, 100+ years. There is no way around it
I get it but it makes me sad to still see people say we need to âget the politics out of public health.â No, we need to do politics on behalf of public health and in public health. It is inherently political. Politics distributes the resources needed for health and creates public health systems.
â¤ď¸â𩹠you public health people. You deserve better. We all do.
What, do you want us to NOT have the plagiarism-and-water-poisoning machine that usually does math right???
This is Not Good
I think people really struggle w partially consolidated authoritarianism, either understating our problem or understating our power It's like we're in a liminal fascist space. And not recognizing how far gone we are or thinking we're simply too far gone are both grave errors we can't afford to make
It is straight up antisemitic. He loves telling left-wing Jews weâre not real Jews. V bad stuff!
Cassidy voted to confirm RFK after supposedly buying the lie that as HHS secretary he wouldnât touch the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices. It took him like three months to fire the whole committee.
rent stabilization excludes buildings with fewer than six units for this precise reason so ⌠try again ?
we can do this. itâs worth fighting for. RFK Jr. must go
One more time, shout out to the very serious people who suggested that RFK had some really good points about public health. No way to have predicted how things would turn out, except to look at his past record and everything he said about vaccines.
Go us
wtf is this nonsense? He thinks he can understand kidâs âmitochondrial challengesâ just by looking at them? This is an insane person.
Wow
