Why stop there? Let’s rename all Depts after what Trump is inflicting on America. Dept of HHS -> Dept of Hepatitis and Human Suffering Dept of VA -> Dept of Veteran Abandonment Dept of Education -> Dept of Erasure of History Dept of Commerce -> Dept of Corruption Just a start.
We need an HHS Secretary who respects science and does not make policy based on conspiracy theories. Vaccines are safe and effective. Kennedy is threatening the health of our kids and all Americans. He must resign.
So independent. 🤡 #Miran
About this Florida vaccine story: When they were little - 1 yr and 3 1/2 - my two older boys, who’d had all their shots, got whooping cough. We asked their pediatrician what would’ve happened if they hadn’t been vaccinated. “Oh, they’d have died.”
I don’t agree with MTG on much - but someone needs to be willing to do what is right (and she will ostensibly do it with some legal protection so it’s not a total martyr move - but I also don’t see a lot of others stepping up here)
Your occasional reminder that the positive effects of UBI have been tested and validated hundreds of times more often than the murderous Musk robotaxis or LLM’s we’re rushing to put into our schools and streets.
Thanks for noting this was a setback to Trump. Seriously, with so many cases going back and forth and over turning and affirming at so many levels… I appreciate knowing if this is good for us? Or bad for us? 😁
Truly - this is really cool. I wish we were in normal times when I could just enjoy learning new things and hearing new perspectives without being distracted by the dread of the world. Here’s to better days and open minds! Thanks for sharing!
Good people, standing up to evil.
Wait - that’s a thing? Really? (Realizing my Catholic school education *may* have omitted some things.)
“I think we need a grassroots movement in this country which transforms the Democratic Party into a party of the working class that is prepared to fight for the issues relevant to the working class,” Sanders says. “And that’s what Graham Platner is about.” More: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...
Bright eyes? Are they reverting to the Victorian custom of putting coins over the eyes?
Remember: today may not be that day, but every day is one day closer.
I think several of them have united against hatred. That’s more important and real
It’s stupid but written (mostly) coherently, with limited use of caps. IS HE OK?
I don't get how people don't realize that a technology that replaces junior and entry level positions in a field destroys that field. There's no skipping steps. You have to be a junior before you can be a senior, and if you don't have senior people, you don't have a field.
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.
Jones: I want to bring theology into this because you have all these people that want to give thoughts and prayers. But I was a minister, and that is a form of theological malpractice—when you pray for something you have the power to change.
So… is this the version of the story that when the wicked witch is defeated, the winged monkeys are freed and come to their senses?
Trump's approval ratings are tanking. He hasn't done squat to help working people. The Epstein scandal haunts him. He's a tyrant with his back against the wall, so he and his cronies are rigging elections in Texas. Understand what's going on here.
These conditions put patients at risk. They cause doctors to burn out before they even get started. The “this is how it was for me, so you too shall suffer” excuse for what is an institutionalized extended hazing ritual is garbage. Treat people better. It benefits us ALL.
Being a billionaire should imply that you are LESS qualified to make decisions that affect all the people - what experience do the insanely rich have that is actually relevant to how most of us live?
We need people who understand and have experience NOT BEING A FREAKING BILLIONAIRE making decisions. For all the things
Surely they wouldn’t just make up numbers to avoid negative headlines…
He’s putting millions of lives at risk every day
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.
Little kids are having to use their bodies to shield friends from gunfire while armed soldiers are busy picking up trash.
And now my tweens are debating ways that they can smoke without actually smoking so they can get the Covid vaccine. No joke. This is where we are.
Hoo boy
making my baby smoke one (1) cigarette so she can get the covid vax
Bad
Bad
This is right. Any effect on the economy is of secondary importance. Trump is weaponizing the government against people he doesn't like. The very definition of an authoritarian.
Forcing the military, uninvited, into Chicago to intimidate Americans in their own communities does not make our nation stronger, it simply distracts the military from executing its core mission of keeping Americans safe from real adversaries who wish us harm.
During WWII, Japan enslaved up to 410,000 women and girls in military brothels — the so-called “comfort women.” Most were Korean. Trump, meeting with South Korea’s president, shrugged it off as “the whole issue of the women.” Of course Japan wants to move on. They were the criminals.
Feeling this as I watch local communities dealing with a neonazi demonstration over the weekend.
It’s my opinion that humanitarian and musical genius Dolly Parton (as well as Chef José Andrés) deserves the Nobel Peace Prize. tucson.com/life-enterta...

Yes.
95% of organizations in a new MIT study found zero return despite enterprise investment of $30 billion to $40 billion into GenAI.
Well, if this doesn't perfectly encapsulate support for the modern GOP.
Stephen Miller just called all the protesters in Washington DC “Stupid white hippies” who are “over 90 years old.” Keep protesting all you “90-year-old Stupid white hippies.”
"How bad slavery was" is worse. Much worse. Much worse than you think, much worse than you're taught, much worse than museums depict. Worse.
And who is to say which side the troops would take?
Denmark has taught empathy in schools since 1993, helping children aged 6–16 develop compassion and social awareness. This early focus on emotional education has reduced bullying and fostered one of the world’s kindest societies. In the US we just give you a bullet proof vest, and hope for the best
BREAKING: Massive protest in Washington DC against Donald Trump right now.
Under Trump's command, U.S. troops get on their knees to roll out a literal red carpet for a fascist dictator. This isn't ceremony. It's surrender.
We ARE seeing phenomenally BAD numbers
This is a guy who lies about all his numbers, from the size of his condo in NYC to his own height and weight. So it’s no surprise he wants to lie about economic numbers now.
He hasn’t given up. He’s totally forgotten that food doesn’t just magically appear for most people. To be fair, he didn’t even know that was a thing before he found out and invented a word for it. “Gro-shur-eees.”
A periodic reminder.
Hey @kairyssdal.bsky.social I consider myself fairly well read, but I am unfamiliar with the nuances of how the Fed work - as are many Americans, I suspect. Is there a good overview you’d recommend? Or care to dumb it down into 200 character bits? 😁
Great. We can rent it out for weddings and class reunions
This is what happens when you bring in people with “business experience” and fail to check if any of it is actually relevant to the area they are supposed to lead. (That’s being generous. We all know he was brought in as a Trump lackey to make money for obscenely rich people. He IS doing his job.)
And at least $6 of the boost is from NASA tshirt sales. 😁 Seriously though - how many government agencies are so popular that people - including, until recently, people from other countries!!! - proudly wear their logo?
A different way of practicing politics is possible - where we vigorously fight for what’s right while inviting people into our coalition, rather than pushing them away.
Health insurance in this country is so broken. And that was after significant reform (ACA) and before, well, whatever is going on now 🙁
Just a thought: what if we stopped measuring the economy by the state of the stock market and started measuring it based on how many people are housed and clothed and fed? https://youtu.be/tFjoDq0HfFw?si=vtbE2QNmXskvutjF
If you're in the Ohio area, take a day trip to Carillon Park in Dayton. Lots of really cool things to see, including the oldest surviving US built steam locomotive, a fully functional 1900s print shop, and a Wright Brothers flyer plane.
The Epstein files are important - those involved must (hopefully) be held accountable and the victims (finally) believed and compensated. But don’t let the latest Big Distraction take attention off atrocities currently happening on a far wider scale at home and abroad. We can still stop those.
You can stop AI in your searches!
There should be a rule that if you are a Known Sports Poster you can say things like “holy fucking shit” with zero context but if you are primarily a Known Politics Poster that gets you like a two day ban
Maybe these are just ads TARGETING Trump? Like “dude, we’ve noticed you posting crazy at all hours of the day and night. You need to sleep. Perhaps this lovely pillow would help?”
Why not both?
Yes… but not in the way they want to spin it.
Because even a rockstar's most important fan is his grandchild.

When I was little, the U.S. military came to our home at gunpoint and took me and my family away. We were imprisoned for years in barbed wire camps simply because we were Japanese American. I have spent my life telling that story, hoping it would never be repeated.
Do y’all remember when it was a huge thing to let Obama keep his BlackBerry due to security concerns? I miss simpler times
How ‘bout instead of trying to force the Guardians to change their name back Trump releases ALL of the Epstein files?
Sounds like the viewing history of a teenage boy with parental blocks enabled
Well. Realize that most of the meat packing jobs are done by immigrants, and they may be a little short staffed right now.
Did she just cancel TRUMP?!? Because if you want to list demonic battles against my family and finances, he’s at the top of the list
MAGA might start watching him….
We know (based on past content) there hasn’t been anything in place to prevent comments about Trump to date. So if either he suddenly is limited in what he says (unlikely but here we are) or he is let go sooner (could happen), there will be, as they say, “some ‘splainin’ to do, Lucy.”
Hands off our Guardians. And, by the way, Cleveland also stands with Superman against fascists.
Good morning! I'm in Uganda to visit family and friends. But depending on your perspective, don't worry or I'm sorry: I'll be back by the end of the month. See you soon, NYC.
If we listened to women, we wouldn’t need the files. And yet, here we are.
Thanks for asking. Ironically, I’m spending time lamenting how much mental energy is being wasted on worry. We could put that time toward really building a society that works for all of us. And yet, here we are.
ICE detained a veteran and U.S. citizen for three days. They didn’t let him contact his family or a lawyer. They didn’t let him change or shower. They didn’t give him a reason for his detention. Under this regime, no one is safe. apnews.com/article/us-a...
You have to admire his ability to hold a grudge, I guess ?
As Epstein is back up in the news, reminder: -1 in 9 girls* & -1 in 20 boys* under the age of 18 experience SA -Female ppl* aged 16-19 are 4x more likely than the general population to be victims of SA or attempted SA Some of those survivors read your skeets. *& presumably nonbinary & gnc ppl
Something to consider: We wouldn’t be waiting for a list if we simply believed women. And yet, here we are.
Um, what happened in Texas was that over 130 people died, FEMA fired the people who would answer distress calls for help, and the FEMA administrator was AWOL for like a week. Why should we accept failure and needless death, simply because you are Republicans?
I dunno. I think most 10 year olds could be more compelling and eloquent.
As Trump and his allies in Congress try to gut public funding for PBS, watch this 1971 clip of Rev. Jesse Jackson and the kids of Sesame Street. This is why we need public broadcasting.
There used to be rules about what could be labeled news. They were changed in the Reagan era. This is a LOOOOONG con. Aren’t we so lucky?
THIS is what makes America great.

It’s not THEIR kids, so they don’t care
The only political split that matters - feed everyone on the off chance one person is hungry, or feed no one on the off chance someone undeserving might get fed
Thanks for sharing! This is important background and information. At the end of the day... we all just want to live our lives and be accepted in our community and maybe enjoy a little freedom and prosperity and respect. It shouldn't be so hard - why are they so successful in dividing us?
So they’ve confirmed all those things are true then
Democrats cannot defeat authoritarian fascism without an agenda that stands squarely on the side of working people. We need a pro-worker, pro-democracy, anti-establishment movement that will take on oligarchy like never before.
It can ALWAYS get tackier. We don’t have a neon TRUMP sign over the White House yet.
Same…
