wow
It turned out that things like morals, empathy and dignity are like trees---they take decades to grow. They can also be clear cut just like trees: when ppl are doused daily with fear, bigotry and hate.

Actually kind of shocked there is any research being done on women and heart attacks.
A used car lot that has glaring lights that add light pollution 365? THAT kind of character? Whew. Nextdoor. Where ppl who peaked in high school...
1. Putin Poison? 2. Thiel serving tea of oleander? 3. Vance summoning Covid and coughing all over him? 4. My aunt's Etsy voodoo doll of Trump finally kicking in?
Burgum. The worst thing out of North Dakota--- next to fracking...
Beautiful. I love the ripples from a fish that just jumped...
He won’t let the press anywhere near him. This is getting weirder and weirder.
Iowa has a Covid loving governor. She sends up thoughts and prayers instead of doing anything. #CovidKim
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.
Yep. A lot of magical supplement thinking in Natural Grocers.
Head into a Natural Grocers amidst another wave of Covid. Unmasked coughing customers scooping up supplements to ward off death while looking at masked customers like we are crazy. 😷
Rewatching "The Walking Dead" from start to finish and it sure feels like the last 5 to 10 years have been every episode of this show. Slowly walking towards virus take over of us (Covid, Measles etc) Slowly walking towards a dictator wielding a baseball bat---swinging it to wreck all our rights
Maybe we should use the scare tactics that worked on magas: "47 is coming for your rights to watch football!" "47 is shutting down gun ranges!" and the like.
Sweet.
Local media sure give a lot of air time to a US Rep who can't bother to hold OPEN town halls. It's almost like it's a PR campaign disguised as "news"... This post is aimed at Iowa media but hell, it fits most ALL of them across the Red States. Sycophantic stenographers busy wrecking this democracy.
So sick of AI slop and we're only in the first quarter of this crap.
The extent to which ICE is ignoring all civil rights and due process is astounding — and indicative of a culture where they’ve been told they can do literally no wrong. Agency and admin leaders must face sanctions and legal consequences.

Is this why DOGE cheerleader #joniernst is fleeing the Senate? She doesn't want to be around when Project 2025 is completed?
Earth Wind and Fire!
They (magas) do not care if we all die.
It is interesting seeing the completely apathetic ppl who stopped caring SUDDENLY being on high alert that they might not have access to Covid vaccines. 1. The vax while helpful in keeping one off a ventilator--- does not prevent infection 2. They only care when something is taken away??
When people say this, they don’t just mean mental health They also strongly desire to fit in & not be left out They saw everyone following the gov’t & mainstream media & thought “everyone’s moving on, I want to do the same” “Everyone’s abandoning immunocompromised people, I want to do the same”
The CDC couldn't bring themselves to say: Covid was airborne Covid is still here harming us Improving ventilation is key Masking is needed Vax and Chillax b.s. led us to this day.
Wish they had left when Mandy-Do-Nothing was still there.
He couldn't find two better ppl to be gagged.
I hope people realize how absolutely fucked this situation is. This isn’t normal. People are resigning all over the place because the government is mishandling our data, ruining our public health services, and generally making Americans less safe.
📌
This father nails how silly this manufactured problem is compared to real problems.
It's been that way since 2021.
Democrats dropped the ball in May 2021 when they shrugged and said, "eh, no need to keep masking" Signed, Everyone they threw under the Covid bus
Don't let the door hit ya on the way out, Joni. #joniernst #squeal #breadbagbarbie #purelunacy
And right now Kim Reynolds of Iowa is probably asking the Iowa Nat'l Guard to man the borders so no vaccines or masks slip into her state. She is that fucking insane.
Trump and Biden failed us. I had hopes that Harris would clean up the mess.
If this oleaginous haircut thinks local crime rates merit a federal military intervention, then he should be leading the armored column down to his home state of Louisiana, which is one of the worst in the nation.
Dear Iowa historians, Feel free to tell the truth about this rancid POS called Joni Ernst.
What a shame. LMAO Good riddance from this Iowan to Joni Ernst! 👋🏼 iowacapitaldispatch.com/2025/08/13/s...
Oh my. The shit Trump must have on "I don't watch porn", Mikey Johnson,
Mike Johnson makes clear that when Congress returns next week he's going to work tirelessly to cover up the Epstein files
I've lived the history. With screenshots to back it up just in case ppl started saying "During Covid" "Vax and Chillax" The CDC failed us, hook line and sinker. Mandy was Queen of Benign Neglect. Sadly, she worked during Biden years when she could have been replaced by a functioning scientist.
Wear an N95. Vax is only one layer in the model to tamp down transmission.

Miss me with the 'Kamala wasn't up to my perfection standards' takes. Elections are binary and perfect is never on the ballot. Your choice was Kamala and not-Kamala. That's it. That's all there was. And if you didn't choose her YOU are responsible for where we are now.
RFK is if Idiocracy and Team American movies had a baby.
Even more corrupt: Republican Sens and Reps
Are these the same folks at the CDC who couldn't be bothered to mention Covid was airborne and we needed good ventilation and N95s to stop repeat infections? Those people? We lost respect for the CDC a long time ago. They gave up on Science.
The panic from the folks who vaxxed and chillaxed and unmasked in 2021 and then caught Covid in 2022, 2024, and 2025 is palpable. Wear a fucking mask. The vax kept you off a ventilator. It wasn't fool proof. Gah, my head hurts.
From the near start of the COVID pandemic, the science said SARS-CoV-2 can cause long term organ damage. Because vaccines offer only partial protection, we need masks & clean indoor air, too. The situation today is extremely dire. But our government’s been indifferent to our suffering for years.
Real estate housing inspectors in many states aren't licensed and they are so bad at their jobs. They ignore the stuff that matters and laser focus on stuff they haven't a clue about: electrical work!
KKKaroline sit your hypocrite ass down.
Trans Union "Please buy our upgraded subscription to protect your data" 👀 It's almost like it's a biz plan on their part.
It remains staggering to me that, in the absence of meaningful penalties for the people at fault, this has simply become a part of ordinary modern life.
When a top CDC scientist resigns citing eugenicist rhetoric from federal health agencies, everyone should absolutely be paying attention.
Can't wait to go the the DMV today and play "Passive Aggressive Mask Bullshit" with willfully ignorant staff.
Republicans seem to want us to just die.
wtf is this nonsense? He thinks he can understand kid’s “mitochondrial challenges” just by looking at them? This is an insane person.
Yeah, Republicans, it's the damn guns. You can deny it, but that's simply the truth. And if you won't commit to doing anything about it, then yeah, it's you too. We have a brutal, sickening, heartbreaking gun problem in America—and you’re it. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/hey-republ...
The plan for "gangbangers in Baltimore" offered by someone who influences the thinking of the VPOTUS. Relatedly, what his ex-girlfriend told The New Yorker: "When I asked her if she’d ever changed Yarvin’s mind about anything, she said she’d gotten him to stop using the N-word, at least around her"
I am heartbroken and furious over the shooting at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis. Kids should be learning, laughing, making friends — not running for their lives on the very first week of school. How many more children will live this nightmare before our elected leaders do something?
He’s gone into full Putin mode. If plans to takeover everything. It will be pay to play…or he’ll simply take it.
Is this giving the green light for 47 to send Nat'l Guard to the Twin Cities?
Yep, see Chuck Grassley.
Iowans are fed up with 47 and his lackeys like Kim Reynolds, Joni Ernst, Grassley, Hinson, Nunn, Feenstra and Miller Meeks. Zero town halls. Pure chicken shit.
Making them wear high-visibility vests over camo is such a good joke you couldn’t write it
Irony threw her back out laughing at this posting by @kcci.bsky.social Iowa, the state where the gov gleefully lets kids get sick from Covid (ban those mask mandates before we even had a vax!) uses the term fresh air... #maskup #covidstillharmingus #damageseveryorgan #vasculardamage #frontallobe
Remember the Doctor Who episode where the British cabinet were replaced by alien lizards in human suits? I think we’re there. 🦎🦎🦎
Taps the microphone: In 2021 when we willingly dropped masking we showed we were all willing to sacrifice the health and lives of ourselves and others. "Bread and roses" were more important than health. We all became expendable. Dictators love this.
It's as flat as the back of his head.
Public health = A love story ❤️
note how Trump on a daily basis is trying to normalize the idea that he's a dictator
If Donald Trump is this casual about calling himself a dictator we can and should acknowledge how you have to force dictators out of power.

Dear Non Voters or voters who thought both candidates were the same. NOT.
Dear kids of Rep Ashley Hinson who she uses for cutesy-crap on her social media instead of actually HELPING Iowans: Sorry but life handed you a mom who doesn't give a crap about less fortunate kids in her district, state, country or world. #repashleyhinson #voteherout #shelovesPedo47

Liver injury from COVID... I'm yet to find a single organ it cannot find and damage 🤬🤬 www.mdpi.com/2075-1729/15...
Wear one anyway. If enough wear a mask, what the hell can they do?
Trump is invading US cities. Putin is invading Ukraine. Netanyahu is invading Gaza.
They’re lighting democracy on fire.
Statement from Illinois Governor JB Pritzker on reports that Trump plans to deploy the military in his state
This Great News Will Ruin Trump’s Weekend—And I’m Cool With That
Hi is right. Obviously this won't / can't happen w/o Dems in control. But Dems should make clear that it *will* happen if they have a chance. (To underscore: Per-capita, people of DC pay *more* federal tax than people in any state, incl NY CA. And have zero representation. Or a governor!
This feels a bit like we are on the sinking Titanic and you, a billionaire, have five life boats for your family. And you're saying: be NICE to the goons hitting our hands with oars to keep us out of the life boats.
Can we talk about that headline? If it’s true, you don’t need “Democrats say.” If it’s untrue, don’t put it in a headline. Either way, you’re fucking reporters. Find out what’s true, and write that.
My name is Captain Dylan Blaha, and this message is for members of the National Guard across the USA. I've served in the Illinois Army National Guard for over 12 years, including a deployment to Afghanistan and three years on active duty in Europe. What's going on right now is not normal.
So, the People’s House is being closed to…the Public. White House tours are cancelled starting in September so Dear Leader’s McPalace makeover can begin. I don’t think he plans to leave, do you?
That got us wondering: How would those governors feel if National Guard troops from other states were ordered onto their streets, perhaps to patrol one of the 53 cities in those states with a higher murder rate than Washington’s? So, we asked them. www.democracydocket.com/analysis/the...
Mockler: Now, along with the on the ground movements like MoveOn, which is very important. We also have online movements that are growing, like MeidasTouch. Who here knows MeidasTouch? Everybody knows MeidasTouch. You wanna know why? It's because we are beating Fox News.
Why can’t a single American journalist do this? Trump has repeatedly claimed he’s ended numerous wars — he’s now increased the number to ten! — and he’ll surely do it again. Ask him to name the wars he says he’s won. Ask Leavitt. Ask Hegseth. Ask Rubio. Just fucking ask them & don’t let go.
