had an idea. watching TV. There was 2 ads for farming/products. One was Lays Potato Chips. Showed a white family & a little girl placing a perfect potato in truck of potatoes. These companies need to depict who’s really doing the work. Have people of color in the ad. Potato picking is hard Fn work

A lead CDC official who resigned said Kennedy’s team asked him to “change studies that have been settled in the past” to fit anti-vax views. That’s not public health leadership—it’s malpractice. 🔗 www.nytimes.com/2025/08/30/o... #BlueSky #MedSky #NewsSky #SciSky #NurseSky

The RIGHT ear of supreme leader was struck by a bullet and healed up like nothing happened in a jiffy because they are God's chosen one. The same person's RIGHT hand had a bruise and has not yet healed up. Did God get tariffed or something this time? The puppet media is not allowed to ask RIGHT?

If you're 60, 69.1% of all job growth since your birth occurred under Democratic administrations. If you're 45, that number is 74.7%. If you're under 28, the number is 100%. Happy Labor Day.

Trump says museums focus too much on the “negative aspects” of American history, like “how bad slavery was.” And plans to purge cultural institutions. But be clear: he’s not talking about alternately uplifting Black inventors, builders, and leaders we were never taught about…

New prank show idea: A Black man wanders into pools, parks, and apartment complexes, demanding white people show ID. He accuses them of trespassing, pretends to call the cops, fake cries, the whole bit. Then we can all reflect on why videos like that do not exist, but the reverse is so common.

They did sign up to be told what to do, though. Today's orders are to pick up trash. Yes, it's embarrassing to see the military being deployed this way, but it is technically what they signed up for. Furthermore, they can quit. It's just a job.

Think New Mexico isn’t fighting for patients, they’re fighting for private equity. There’s a doctor shortage because Wall Street buys up community hospitals, guts staff, and turns ERs into cash cows. Patients wait 16 hours for care while profits soar. Private equity is strip-mining hospitals.

The first step is acknowledging the problem. The real problem, a common thread amongst a vast majority of mass shooters isn't guns but rather their connection to extreme racist ideology. Until that part is 'acknowledged', this incident is part of a continuous loop.
