"Be loud for America", is an astoundingly good rallying call for US citizens to resist the Trump autocratic takeover. Actionable and patriotic. Pritzker sure brings the fire to Democratic resistance.
i try to be curious not just furious - fear, hatred, and anger can blind us to the humanity of others - for any issue and any side we take. 😍✌️🌍🌏🌎🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈🇺🇸🥰🎉 we can be better if we know ourselves and each other better - please human responsibly. 👍❤️

KASIE HUNT: Over the summer you said, “There’s no vaccine that’s safe and effective”. Do you still believe that? RFK JR: “I never said that.” KASIE HUNT: “Play the clip.” RFK JR (clip): “There’s no vaccine that is safe and effective.” (March 2024) ht: @cwebbonline.com

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.

Huge news - appeals court rules that a majority of the President’s tariffs are illegal. The President is wreaking havoc on our economy, and he is breaking the law to do it. We must right this ship. We need sane trade policy again.
Like a deadly virus, created in the lab of bad public policy at the Heritage Foundation, Project 2025 has been let loose on our nation with impacts we are all just beginning to comprehend. My latest on Substack: open.substack.com/pub/jimacost...
Vaccines are scrupulously and rigorously researched, trialed, tested and continuously monitored. I get a little tired repeating this but it’s important. They are not the villain but the potentially fatal diseases they prevent are. I and my colleagues have seen them all.
They’re traumatizing kids.
I hope everyone is having a great day.

🚨🧵🚨 (TW: Mass Sh**tings) I'm sharing this because evil lies on Trans People must stop. Under 0.01% of mass sh**ters in the US are Trans. Keep making calls to demand all those who promote the lies being arrested and jailed. (Especially M. Walsh the sick creep) #TransRights 🏳️⚧️ #SayNoToFascism ✊🏾

“If Joe Biden tripped, the press wanted to know what was wrong with him. If Joe Biden stuttered, the press wanted to know if he was having a stroke. If Joe Biden were limping or if his gait was stiff, the press wanted to know if he was capable of doing the job. If Joe Biden had a bad night…”

Best Twitter riposte of the day, RFKJr edition.
Yes. These are just a few of the Right Wing media lies that we are immersed in, that led Right Wing media consumers to give the GOP control of all 3 branches of gov. So Right Wing media are doubling down on their winning strategy, naturally. upine.medium.com/time-to-solv...
All the news is bad…bad bad bad. I just went outside to literally touch some grass. While sitting next to my Verbena, a hummingbird flew around them right next to me. It took him a few seconds to realize I was there before he flew off. It was the break I needed. Fuck Trump.
All’s well that ends well. #Normie’s had his bottle & a brush so he’s happy now.
a podcast i caught this morning referenced "clam bake" as a potential parallel to "sausage fest" so i'm not sure if there is double entendre involved here or not...
if you're watching on a dedicated television - you might look up the motion smoothing setting options for your model to address judder / stutter - the way this show pans makes that issue more apparent than other content. 📺✌️👍❤️
. So should access to mental health resources.
We’re going to go on a rant for a minute, and yes we’re bringing some history with us. Back in 1755, Benjamin Franklin wrote words that still echo today: “Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.”
remember folks, we cant have gun restrictions because if we do the federal government will occupy our streets, imprison people without due process, ship dissidents to foreign gulags and things of that nature
The Horrors persist, but so do you! Check in with yourself to see if you need to… Eat! Any food is better than no food. Hydrate! It doesn’t have to be water. Take meds! Hell yeah, science. Touch grass! Nature is cool. Rest! We need fuel to fight. Play or create! Joy & art are vital self-care.

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.

Susan Monarez, the CDC director, was fired just shy of a month into her role. At least four other top CDC officials have also submitted their resignations, with one of them writing, “I am not able to serve in this role any longer because of the ongoing weaponizing of public health.”
I just love her so much
Moment of pure joy this morning when the kiddo spotted a hummingbird on the coral honeysuckle outside the kitchen window!! We're new to hummingbirds but this was black-chinned.

yup - pathologizing as bad the less typical ways that we humans up can be - such as not being right handed or not being heterosexual or not being cis - is the source of the harm - not the states of being. ✌️⚖️👍❤️

good morning.
I was just told to ‘go lick Satan’s nutsack’ which as insults go is really quite inventive I think. I’m curious to know who taught it to my 7 year old though.

Human Rights are for everyone, not just straight, white, rich, cis men. You can’t just turn it off when it’s not convenient to you, you walloper.
A few years in, a CDC drowning prevention program was ready to share its findings on how to mitigate the leading cause of death among young children. Then the administration terminated that staff.

Going to be wild to have Clarence Thomas and other members of the court write that even the appearance of impropriety is sufficient to allow the President to remove Federal Reserve members from office, and then head off to Harlan Crow’s yacht

This is not cat related at all, but I want to say that I had my annual mammogram today and it was fine. A few minutes of discomfort and I was done, same as every other year. I just feel like it's important to say this to possibly take some of the fear out of it for people who haven't gone yet.
Alien: Earth isn't a particularly good Alien show. But as a sci-fi horror series with a decent budget about an alien zoo crashing into a trillionaire's city-state and causing chaos? It's pretty fun!
Tyrants govern through fear. Dictators take their power from the acquiescence of the good people who don't speak out. It is our obligation as citizens to set aside fear and take a step forward not a step back.
Ashley’s video has almost 80k views on Tik Tok. Mine has about 600. Disinformation spreads rapidly, and efforts to educate languish. That’s part of how we got to this place where people refuse life-saving interventions like vaccines because they think they know better than experts.
"Are asylum seekers the biggest political issue in Britain?" Asks radio 4. "We interview man who is determined to make it the biggest issue in Britain. And make it a headline every morning until it definitely is"
I’m still honestly flabbergasted that more of us aren’t urging against military occupation of American cities.
