Democracy is a team sport. Suit up with me. MAGA=hate cult. Gen fucking X. I'm very good at finding things. Any questionable language is purely figurative and/or satire–a peaceful and patriotic way to illuminate the satanic evil of MAGA and GOP.

As Michael gets at in this thread, the real problem was a lack of major investment in education. When schools necessarily closed, families were left to handle it on their own. Blue states should have created outdoor programs for kids to socialize and learn safely. Ah, but that would have cost money.
mediocre seems a step up for him

1970s parents were....different. My mom took my sister and me to see Jaws. She'd already seen it with my dad and told us it wasn't scary. We spent summers on Cape Cod beaches. We were 6 & 7 years old.
now try to unsee it
Someone from a state with no ocean beaches probably.
On September 1, 2025, we lost a true legend. Graham Greene, Oneida from Six Nations Reserve, walked on at the age of 73. Over the span of more than 175 acting credits, he gave us characters that were unforgettable, complex, and real. redpopnews.com/remembering-... #redpopnews
I grew up going to beaches on the Cape and in NJ and never saw this. Is it a newer trend?
Pritzker is amazing.

@vicmmic.bsky.social This delivery make me laugh so hard it hurt. Brilliant!
Looking good, champ.
omg thank you-i am laughing so hard :)
Am I the only one who thinks Trump is wearing a mask?
Is Trump wearing a mask?
I'm sure whatever @katestarbird.bsky.social is saying is smart and important. But all I care about is this image. Nothing can articulate how screwed we are more than the visual communication of this picture.
Just let me know when we pass the Sh*thole Country line.
We need to stop using the word "order" and start using the word "dictate" Trump to Dictate Nationwide Voter ID and Paper Ballots, Restrictions to Mail-in Voting
This balloon needs a red hat.
@bsky.app is really becoming a hub for scientists - we're very lucky to be able to hear from them directly!
Trump's moved up from Q to Q+ truthsocial.com/@realDonaldT...
Remember Dmitriev (head of Russian sovereign fund)? He attended the meetings with Witkoff, summit in Alaska..
Aren't these people rich enough? How are they not embarrassed to do this?
This is what I saw on his feed, and then the platform shut down because I wouldn't accept cookies. Is there another way to see what our president says without having to go on this hacker site?
The President of the United States used his primary official communication channel, a private website he owns, to post about a public health issue. As an engaged citizen, I wanted to see it, but first I was presented this cheap pop-up ad for a scam. Real global superpower stuff going on here.
I’m amused by this article bc of where it appears. Nothing here is novel—it restates points ppl have made for half a decade: gen AI enables both unreality & denial of reality. This makes sources of trust more important. But the ppl who put “misinformation” in scare quotes are suddenly concerned.
We don't need AI to erase truth when we already have the people of The Free Press doing that.
Maybe. I'm so confused by people now. I never imagined so many would elect someone this hateful, immoral, stupid, and dangerous to us all. If people aren't repulsed by Trump, I don't expect they'd have stronger feelings about something more subtle and less overt to them, like racism or sexism.
I can't think of a more perfect way to sum up what is happening in all corners of life + politics in the late-stage capitalist oligarchy hellscape that is the United States: "It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it." -Upton Sinclair
From bridges to town halls, ordinary people are resisting Trump, refusing to stay silent, and showing that democracy lives in our communities—not just in D.C. Every small act matters in the fight for our democracy. #Velshi
These are the words of a lunatic who does not belong in government, much less as our nation's top health official. It is dangerous to allow him to oversee ALL federal health research and public health infrastructure. It is never too late to do the right thing. Fire RFK Jr.

*His* past heroin addiction isn't the problem. It's that he seems to want to make other people heroin addicts. He said he used it to self-medicate his undiagnosed, untreated ADHD, and now he wants to deny people with ADHD their helpful meds. He likes hurting people. Look what Caroline Kennedy said.
Babblings of a mad king.
Exactly. And to be clear, @facethenation.bsky.social has NOT reached out to us for comment or invited us on air.
Why in the world @cnn.com & Dr Sanjay Gupta aren't doing a massive broadcast from their HQ in Atlanta with CDC scientists is beyond me. If @msnbc.com were smart, it would launch its MSNOW brand with a big important attention grabbing event like this. Show who they are and who they stand with.
J.B. Pritzker is 100% right. Please listen to him, pay attention, and join us in speaking out against authoritarianism and to protect free and fair elections.
You should follow up on this @facethenation.bsky.social , don't you think? You need to start anticipating lies and be prepared to push back, or your guests aren't "facing" anything - they're just using you to propagate their lies to the nation. You become "Let Them Lie To the Nation".
If you are a federal worker who focuses on #Autism and your work has been affected by RFK Jr., I’d love to talk with you. We can speak on background. My signal is emgarcia.85
very helpful at this moment - thank you
Just because ICE agents are paid by the government doesn't mean what they are doing is legal. If they're afraid of being identified, that's even greater reason they should be. www.yahoo.com/news/article...
I very much hope you're right and I'm wrong.
What in the ever loving fuck is going on here
I've done the math - there's no way Dems can come out ahead.
Just because you feel like your day to day life may have not changed that much much doesn't mean that America hasn't changed dramatically under Trump. Authoritarianism is here, right now. We all need to be as clear eyed about it as @vermontgmg.bsky.social: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
Will it though? www.nytimes.com/2025/08/28/u...
Dean Cain went from Superman to Gestapoman and didn't last even a week.
The DeSantis administration currently has at least seven Florida Highway Patrol troopers just on anti-chalk duty: Two watching from a Dunkin Donuts next door and five more parked in the lot right behind them.
His ankles are remarkably thin. And his hands free of bruises.
If I win the Powerball, my Presidential campaign starts tomorrow and my platform is: Nationalized healthcare, incl Free vaccines Scientific research $$$$ Every kid gets fed every day High speed rail everywhere The day after the Super Bowl is a national holiday. Hope I can count on your vote!
This is the same thing. www.thedailybeast.com/defense-secr...
Great convo with @michaelfanone.bsky.social and @jvl.bsky.social BTW, National Guard members don't understand the significance of their station on DC streets because many schools do a horrible job teaching America's history and govt. We all pay the price. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kx-F...
What do you think will get America first? a) A nuclear strike b) Another uncontrolled killer pathogen c) Mass hunger d) Powergrid failures nationwide e) National economic collapse
JD Vance was always such a f*cking know-nothing know-it-all. All words and no conviction. He's just like Trump: a showman & conman.
He seems to do a lot now to help Dems, so what more can we really ask of a person than to learn and then so actively atone? And his exposure of the dirty swamp of GOP campaigns is valuable. My guess is the # of white people who are inherently repulsed by racism and bigotry is lower than we think.
Kudos to ABC News for incredibly clear and powerful headline, subhead, and coverage of how a true DC Swamp operates. It's all about the money and the power to get and spend it. abcnews.go.com/US/doj-drops...
Just stumbled by this news from 8 month ago. Every Senator who confirmed this deluded Russian asset chose to ignore numerous alarming Red flags. When America falls, they will go down as the cause.
What kind of fresh f*cking hell is this??
You really are astoundingly smart. Actually. :)
Hey D.C. friends! If you see billboards or posters in the District from @ofthebraveusa.bsky.social demanding federal agents take off their mask, be sure to take a picture and share it!
MAGA = Mass Activation of Gestapo in America That's what Trump wants
“We are just taking punch after punch with nobody, even pretending to be in our corner anymore,” said one senior CDC official.
NEW: The CDC has been in crisis for months. After the firing of its director, resignations of senior leaders, staff + experts are bracing for what could be death knell for public health credibility. Me + @laurenweberhp.bsky.social + @davidovalle.bsky.social www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...
You should clarify that Public Advocate is an anti-gay activist group. "Public Advocate" sounds like it's doing something good, not bad.
Rachel Campos Duffy just admitted on Fox & Friends she's got a tattoo on her back. I'm putting my money on this.
Remember things like this when supposedly serious people suggest the best way to organize society is around someone like this making decisions for you.

"People know when you're better than they are, and they hate you for it." This perfectly describes RFKJr's relationship with experts.
If we don't trust experts, who should we trust? Idiots?
Erickson was more afraid being forced to see celebrations of the contributions of diverse Americans to the nation than he was of having a vaccine-skeptic crackpot oversee healthcare access for his cancer-ridden wife. He voted for what he wanted.
This is what 77M American vermin voted for.
Erickson voted for Trump for "personal reasons" - one wonders if he wanted the outcome he's now experiencing.

Who couldn't have seen this coming?
"Secretary Kennedy, one of the world's foremost experts on public health" ------- this is INSANE
The average American simply has no idea how quickly the infrastructure that keeps us safe and healthy is collapsing. These systems run in the background thanks to government employees who quietly do critical work. Those employees are being purged and systems are being destroyed.
Can't all of us sue the government for not protecting our data as they are legally obligated to do?
In other words, Russian hackers have all our data.
But he was at Lt. Gov - he had a record and reputation. I worry about all these people who run as Dems and then change parties. Republicans are very sneaky.
One of several top CDC officials to leave their post this week—after Kennedy fired the agency’s director for refusing to “rubberstamp unscientific, reckless directives"—is telling all. Including that Kennedy has never been briefed by any of the center’s scientists on major diseases. trib.al/j3PrEDR
Doesn't Mike Johnson know that talking like this will preclude him from going to Heaven and send him straight to Hell?
If you're on Medicare, Trump's gonna let AI decide if you get care or not.
I support all of us getting into politics. I don't support GOP/maga/Putin plants to fool Democrats and destroy America. Are we confident this man is on the up and up? If so, great!!!!! But please, let's do our due diligence. We don't need another George Santos.
