Platner: No one cares that you pretend to be remorseful as you sell out to lobbyists. Symbolic opposition does not reopen hospitals. Weak condemnations do not bring back Roe V Wade. Maine deserves better than Susan Collins.
Damn buster by night generic sapiens by day and in case I’m stuck in a loop break glass. Into human murmuration potential and golf :)

This should be getting far more attention from the media, and it should be investigated as a hate crime. A 14-year-old Black teen was targeted, beaten, and dehumanized with racial slurs by white teens while people stood around cheering. 1/4
I hear you Marjorie. I often wish for an upside down heart to hit, acknowledging the transparency of the reporting bringing to light our “endless” dark nature.

Michelle Obama: kids should have healthier school lunches RFK Jr: maybe if we let the plague run wild we can build a master race Media: wow these are the same thing
You know all those slasher-horror movies where they go in the haunted house or down the basement? And you scream, "OMG, how TF could they be so dumb!?" Yeah, well – that's America right now, with RFK jr as the head of HHS, including the CDC, NIH, etc. No good endings. Insane AF.

It was probably always inevitable that the rise of a dictator in the US would be greeted with a shrug by many Americans and Europeans alike. But it doesn’t make it any less shocking to see. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
Media media, look what you’ve done. Placed all of us under someone’s thumb. Well played Murdoch et al.
I'm still waiting for the relentless onslaught of media demands for a press conference and calls to resign.
WTF are all you commie libs talking about? He looks great!!
New Mexico has issued a public health order that removes federal restrictions to COVID-19 vaccine access so that pharmacies in New Mexico can vaccinate people of all ages and risk profiles. Every state need to do this!
BREAKING: Bernie Sanders wants RFK Jr. under oath. He’s demanding a special Senate hearing on the CDC disaster RFK Jr. helped create. Go Bernie!
If Missouri Republicans mid-cycle redistrict and break the law, they will be sued. That is a promise and I don't bluff. Just ask Texas. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
Ha. Haha. Haaa. I get it.
Turns out Trump called in the National Guardeners

Ouch…
If you're arrested in Illinois protesting the planned ICE HQ in North Chicago, I can represent you pro bono. Email me at sheryl@weikallaw.com. As always, I will take as many cases as I can.
CHICAGO…
Yes ! Love this AMAZING YOUNG MAN HE WILL BE A GREAT SENATOR PLEASE FOLLOW AND SUPPORT @joshturek4iowa.bsky.social Josh Turek for IOWA
Welch: As someone who lives in a red state, let me just tell you what MAGA supermajorities get you. We're 50th in education. The worst in the whole country for women to live. We're poorer, worst health care. And if you look at the bottom ten states, they are all MAGA supermajorities.
n this post, I summarize key points from the Federal Circuit ruling against Trump's massive IEEPA tariffs, in our case against them: reason.com/volokh/2025/...
The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.
The feeling of not having enough… is the root of our problem.
Hope SCOTUS enjoys being treated like Trump’s lapdog
OMG… 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
conservatives love having cool beliefs like “political ideology is genetic”
South Korea's former Prime Minister Han Duck-soo has been indicted for aiding ex-president Yoon's attempted coup last year, joining Yoon's wife, defense minister, military leaders, and police who have all been arrested. America, this is how to hold an entire administration accountable for treason.
Chump can't release them, and he can't *not* release them! He's finally trapped.
Trump is ending the CDC’s drowning prevention program, arresting firefighters, deporting farm workers who do pest control, and reducing vaccine access. That’s flood, fire, pestilence & locusts. What other biblical plagues does he want? Rain of frogs? Rivers of blood? Angel of Death taking Don Jr?
From Egypt with love: the ten plagues of Amerika.
Learn to decipher the codespeak.
Joni Ernst, who cast key vote on Hegseth, vandalizes U.S. military and walks away.
Listen to @kendallyb.bsky.social she's talking about how a 10 year old took a shot gun blast to the back to protect his friend! She says we now expect more from CHILDREN to protect the selfs then we expect the people we elect to office! Common sense gun laws work all over the world.
@jefftrnka.bsky.social thank you for sharing this !!! Americans remember this when you vote!!! Vote like your life and your family lives depend on it!!! if you hate yourself and your family, fine don’t vote 🤬🤬🤬
They’re coming for our sandwiches.
“Have you said thank you once?”
A1 has a large “bodyprint” not unlike fossil and yet it’s perfectly normal to use it to solve climate crisis.
At least we’re making everything dependent on the murder-suicide computer.
That’s two! The horror of A1—that’s our reflection unbridled by empathy or love or the emotions and now that we can lace our dark queries without tilting the machine, what’s A1’s next move: silent alarm the authorities while keeping the client unwittingly in dialogue custody?
Don’t look away
FACTS.
The callousness of those who are well-off regarding the unfortunate disgusts me. Their assumption is that everyone who can’t support themselves is a scammer and a cheat. We’re only a few steps away from eugenics and economic euthanasia, never mind forced […] [Original post on mastodon.online]
Just in case you forgot…
Well said 👏🏼
But it is the guns. Metal detectors and perimeter controls aren’t going to stop an armed maniac from shooting kids. Just like common sense won’t stop a Fox maniac from shooting his mouth.
* ITALY PM MELONI SAYS RUSSIA'S LATEST STRIKE ON KYIV SHOWS IT HAS NO INTENTION OF NEGOTIATING END TO WAR @reuters.com
We know you invoke prayer as a substitute for action because you send thoughts and prayers every time there's a mass shooting and you never do anything about it. You are not allowed to play the victim because the emptiness of your convictions is a national cliche.
To which I add Sarah from Parkland.
Where is Trump’s attention to this matter?
I’ve been a doctor for thirty years. I hold two board certifications, and more peer reviewed publications than I can count, and I can *maybe* spot a kid across an airport with a ferklempt Golgi apparatus. But overburdened mitochondria? No way.
so not gay folks are grooming kids. oh wait it is ministers. my bad share.newsbreak.com/eqzbdegu?s=i16
As long as guns are easily available to crazy people, mass killings directed at so-called soft targets will continue. This is a fact. Countries where it's more difficult for crazy people to obtain guns have less shootings. This is also a fact. Do with these facts as you will.
🚨NEW: Maine Governor Janet Mills is strongly considering a run for the U.S. Senate against GOP incumbent Susan Collins. RETWEET if you would support Governor Mills for the Senate!
So Strange, So Strange!
Half of Christian evangelical television is definitely on the Epstein List.
Watch. If you claim one of these to get a vaccine, they’ll use it later as a preexisting condition to crank up your health premium or kick you off your plan.
If someone tells you there's nothing we can do about gun violence beyond thoughts and prayers, remind them: —Gun laws in other countries have prevented mass shootings —More guns don't make us safer —A majority of Americans want gun reform We don't have to live like this.
Saying you need an AR-15 to hunt is like saying you need dynamite to fish. Stop the nonsense.
Yes, it should. However, that would require an effective mainstream media in America — which we don’t currently have.
Just admit it: You love your guns more than your children. The first step is acknowledging the problem.
A very strong & powerful resignation letter from Dr. Daskalakis calling out RFK jr. “I am unable to serve in an environment that treats CDC as a tool to generate policies and materials that do not reflect scientific reality and are designed to hurt rather than to improve the public’s health.”
I woke up with a CRAZY scary stupid thought: Maybe I should run for Congress against Steny Hoyer. Dude’s been in office since 1981. He’s in his late 80s. If I do it, I’ll run as a progressive independent caucusing with, but not controlled by Dems. And I will NOT take PAC money of any kind.
The NRA should not have tax-exempt status. The NRA should not have tax-exempt status. The NRA should not have tax-exempt status. The NRA should not have tax-exempt status.
If “people are the problem”, but the guns aren’t, then why do Republicans want to keep giving the problem, guns?
In many places in America, it's easier to buy a gun than it is to adopt a cat from a shelter.
It shouldn't be up to American children to save each other from getting shot. It's the job of American adults to stop shootings from happening in the first place. Ban assault weapons again now.
Are vaccines safe? Let's ask this guy who sounds like a dying refrigerator compressor
The government is coming to take our sandwiches away, be warned!
Vanity Fair staffers threaten to walk out over a proposed Melania cover: “We are not going to normalize this despot and his wife… if this happens, i’m gone, and so is half my team.” www.thedailybeast.com/i-will-walk-...
RULE ABOUT AMERICAN FLAGS: If you burn the fabric part, you're looking at jail. But it you use the pole part to assault a police officer, you get a presidential pardon, praise, and some cash.
Rock paper scissor sunlight.
media should not interview minors who have just survived a mass shooting
ELECTION RESULT from Alabama: Paul Prine, the former police chief of Mobile who was fired last year while facing a damning report about his department’s use of force against Black residents, has lost the mayoral race. He came in third, and will not move forward to the September runoff.
Krasner: So, if what you have is a group of ICE agents, or even the military, coming into Philadelphia and committing crimes—assaults that are illegal, kidnapping, unlawful restraint, obstruction of the administration of justice—they can be prosecuted.
Does anyone know what happened between May and August this year?
“Transparent”
We shouldn’t trust a thing that lying sex trafficker says, all so she can get an easier sentence or even a pardon.
A “we were wrong” correction would be nice.
This is bad folks. I just saw a Politico writer say on CNN that even though the statistics say crime is down people don't feel it (GODDAM VIBES AGAIN!!!) and even though they "may not like" political power grabs they like not feeling safe in their cities even less. They're helping him. Again.
Dear journalists: The President has not fired Lisa Cook. The President is *trying* to illegally fire her. Your words shape people’s reality. Please be accurate in your reporting.
I don’t know if this qualifies as spilling the 🫖 But release the damn Epstein files already.
Constituent: You talked about abuses in the medicare and medicaid system and I found interesting that the president pardoned someone that defrauded the medicaid system for $1.3 billion
How do you stand up to tyrants hell bent on power plays, not fighting crime? You fight for your State like Newsom! You let Trump know you’re not afraid of his unlawful threats like Moore! You ring the alarm bells across America like Pritzker! Dem Governors standing up against Trump for us ALL!
The Supreme Corpse
The latest diss track from Gavin Newsom! #GavinNewsom #ProudBlue
SCOTUS. The Pro-Fascist, Criminal Court
The Brazilian Supreme Court does its job, whereas SCOTUS has fallen into the hands of Opus Dei
Pritzker: To the members of the press who are assembled here today and listening across the country, I am asking for your courage to tell it like it is. This is not a time to pretend here that there are two sides to this story.
