Concern over low birth rates was what the theocracy in Margaret Atwood’s Handmaid’s Tale used to come to power.

This is a problem.
I've never seen anything like it, and will now spend a while looking for more. Thanks again.
Thank you for taking the time. This is amazing!
Thank you for doing that. No good deed goes unpunished (sigh).
🤣
It would have been cheaper just to leave it alone. Or sandblast it. Or turn the bricks over. Or leave it the fuck alone. The point here is petty hatred. The entire state of Florida should have stood against this. We have some real dickheads in this country, and when karma comes, I hope it hits hard.

"He never would have worn that shade."
Are you implying that we want "illegals" here to vote for Dems? It's sad you believe that. Voting is more complex than walking in off the street and doing it.
US medical students were twice as likely to experience food insecurity as the national household average. The big bill passed in Congress put caps on student loans well below the cost of medical school. Education will only be accessible to the rich. jamanetwork.com/journals/ja...
It's terrifying, isn't it?
Modern Republicans really, REALLY hate democracy.
Exactly. The Republicans can't win without cheating.
It's been rough, and I, too, am surprised about conservatives my age. We (especially white women) benefitted the most from the social progress of the 60's and 70's, but we're going to deny freedoms we enjoyed to future generations. Greedy assholes.
"Harden" churches and schools (nothing like watching 5 year olds entering a guarded fortress to learn how to read and get along with others) OR Implement "common sense gun laws" that most US citizens support We've been "hardening" buildings for 25 years. Maybe it's time to try something "new."
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.
There's nothing worse 💜
Reagan v Carter 1980 was my first time voting. My entire political experience has been Republicans fucking stuff up and then the Democrats getting in and fixing it as best they can, before the Republicans lie and cheat their way back into office. Repeat.

Excellent question.
Projection, right? "Since I just spew stuff I hear without any critical thinking or research, I think everybody does that." Nope🤬
This may be the most significant statistic in the whole argument.
AND this is what they've always done. We've all seen the progression: "It's our Constitutional right!"; "Don't make it political"; "Thoughts and prayers"; and now "How dare you imply that OUR thoughts and prayers are not a sufficient reaction to dead children." WOW.
Yes, Pam Bondi was literally a lobbyist on behalf of...wait for it...Qatar!!! tinyurl.com/5n6avpd9 Qatar, you know that lovely place that financed ISIS and Boko Haram!!! tinyurl.com/3ypfu6te What a gang of complete criminals… #Terrorism #Bondi #Lobbyist

Can't believe that in 2025 we have to be telling people that vaccines are safe and slavery was bad.
🤣🤣🤣
Macaroni and cheese is my favorite food. I ate it every day for a year after my mom died. Cracker Barrel macaroni and cheese is flavorless and joyless.

When Laura Ingraham was a student at Dartmouth, she attended a meeting of the Gay Student Union and wrote down the names of the attendees, which she then published in the student newspaper. This was a time when it was very dangerous to be outed as gay. She is a dispicable, vile person.
Our worst case scenario is their everyday experience. Every day they live in fear. So while we fear the “what’s coming”, for the trans community, they live in fear all the time. The stress must be overwhelming. Be a friend, be an ally, be a fighter. Speak out 🏳️⚧️

NEVER FORGET: The GOP Congress lack of interest in the breach of actual science at the CDC has made it CLEAR: they don’t care if we live or die.
The GOP could end gun violence tomorrow!!!
Yep!
Yes, please.
MK is full of hatred. She seems to I know the former first lady very well. Or maybe she's...projecting???
Ted's doing some creepy eye contact stuff with this reporter.
Excellent point.
Excellent point. Thank you.
This is a priority issue?
Wow. That's a very expensive clean up crew. Some places of significance have volunteers that joyfully do that kind of work....
T says these crazy things because he's stupid. He doesn't know what a dictator is, so he doesn't know that what he's doing is exactly what dictators do. It takes a lot of money and privilege to cover for his stupidity, and he's got both. Now he's using our money for it.
SCHOOL BOARDS!!!!
Stephen Miller will be remembered as the Josef Mengele character in all of this. His wife, Katie, is equally ghoulish. A trip to the southern border to help her gain empathy for immigrant families "didn't work," according to...Katie Miller😳
Washington DC is a destination for Americans from every part of the country. Tourism is "flat" compared to last year, and we're yet to see the impact of troops in the streets. It's really not a good look. Historic, but not good.
What you missed overnight night.🥳 Utah's gerrymandered congressional map was struck down. The judge reinstated the citizen-led redistricting reforms voters approved in 2018. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
I believe that Democratic Governors should start sending their National Guard to red states---since their homicide rates are SO high. Don't ask, just head on out! Take THAT, Mike Johnson! (Louisiana consistently has one of the highest, if not the highest, murder rates in the United States).
Any Democrat not 100% committed to a full accounting of their crimes and rooting out the sycophancy and corruption they have spread across the federal government, isn’t worth electing.
THIS…is the mindset. THIS…is the attitude. THIS…is the fire in the gut….that we are going to ALL have to adopt. I have. Have you? We can’t have people sit this one out…and still prevail.
not true. her home is now in a neighboring district but her district, #30, was barely touched
My first thought, and it's terrifying.
With aphasia and a team of chatty attendents (since he can't be left alone).
Trump's troops are making federal cases out of low-level arrests — such as possession of an open container — in DC. Meanwhile, his administration has rolled back enforcement actions against 165 lawbreaking corporations since January. "Tough on crime."
I will explain it like you’re 5… The President of the United States Is Evil AF
If they do not, by their inaction they are supporting this lawless and corrupt administration.
Law societies need to start stripping Trump lawyers of their bar licenses.
Are insurance companies going to cover vaccines that "diverge from the CDC's official list?" Can public health departments even offer those vaccines? Show us your ethics.
Today is the National Park Service’s birthday! 🥳🏞️ You know what would be a great birthday gift? Not firing staff or cutting funds from the agency responsible for keeping our public lands pristine and accessible!
Any word/statement from @albomp.bsky.social or @senatorwong.bsky.social regarding the extraordinary number of Australians marching in support of Palestine on Sunday, 24 August 2025 ? 🇵🇸

Just walking around the hellscape that is my Chicago neighborhood this morning
Must be nice to have no oligarchs on your supreme court.
JD wearing his suit coat unbuttoned because of his reverence for T.
All of this was in Project 2025. He also wants to shoot protesters. His last admin had guardrails up to stop him. This time, he doesn’t have anyone to stop him.
I would very much love to see T exiled to Russia. He could do his carnival barking over there.
🤨

“Totalitarianism in power invariably replaces all first-rate talents, regardless of their sympathies, with those crackpots and fools whose lack of intelligence and creativity is still the best guarantee of their loyalty.” ― Hannah Arendt, The Origins of Totalitarianism
Frost: He knows they can't win, so he wants to cheat. The same thing he's done his entire life. But I'll tell you something else I feel really good about, is what California's doing. They're saying we're not gonna let you do this without a fight.
Just Saying … 🎯 🎯 🎯
Thank you for the reminder. The whole world sees everything he does.
THANK YOU, MARC ELIAS! You are my hero.
I’m viewing Newsom’s trolling as satire that reveals how the media has been uncritically covering Trump’s rants for years.
I had convinced myself that it wasn't a big, worldwide network, but now....

I'll never be proud of the fact that my ancestors believed it was ok to own another person, to actually pay money to OWN a human being.
Racist white woman. Nothing new.
It is quite remarkable how they managed to grab onto an incorrect stat and make it their history. Up to 49% of people in Mississippi owned or were part of a family that owned slaves in 1860. They don't like that number, so they invented a new one.
I’m so sick of those people who are literally whitewashing history.
