BRAVO to Newsome’s Team #teamGavin
I’ve spent a good chunk of my career relying on American science and engineering to keep me alive. Yesterday, RFK Jr. testified at the U.S. Senate Finance Committee. It was sad to see him try to destroy the life’s work of so many American scientists. He shouldn’t be in this job.

What about the 65,000 innocent Palestinians killed just since then? And the countless thousands since 1948 that led to the reaction on 10/7? Not worried about that, hey? Why not?
I wonder what percentage of Fox viewers know that Fox paid $787.5 million for spreading lies about the 2020 election. I'll bet it's a low number. They don't know because they watch Fox.
Rise up America 🇺🇸

If the country is at war, he (thinks he) can suspend elections and declare martial law.
From the Mayor's office to the court room, pro-democracy resistance stands guard in Chicago. "If Trump invokes the Insurrection Act, the AG has promised immediate legal challenges, warning: 'Authority is very limited, and none of it applies in Chicago.” www.tealandorangereport.com/p/the-front-...
Kuvin: He didn’t keep a list of these people. What he would do is get calls from powerful men — men who lived in Palm Beach, for example. They would talk to Ms. Maxwell, and she would send a girl out. If you really to know who was involved, you would look at his phone books
Wikipedia's resistance to enshittification is fascinating to me.
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.
Bennet runs out of patience with RFK Jr and yells at him that "I'm asking the questions on behalf of parents and schools and teachers all over the United States of America who deserve so much better than your leadership! That's what this conversation is about."
I’m not exaggerating when I say millions of $$ are going down the drain to fund Trump’s National Guard stunt in LA. Let's do the math: $71M for food and necessities $37M in payroll Over $4M in logistics supplies $3.5M in travel – the list goes on. It’s time to wake up, America.
REP. @aoc.bsky.social : “It complicates their ability to ask voters to support any nominee later” The key point. @schumer.senate.gov & @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social are showing *the left* party loyalty is a one-way street.
Support for vaccinating kids against infectious diseases dropped from 81% in 1991 to 51% last year We are getting dumber as a society
PULTE: Public officials shouldn't be exempt from scrutiny SORKIN: Speaking of that, Ken Paxton has at least 3 examples of alleged mortgage fraud. Are you looking at that? PULTE: Unless it's been made public, I'm not going to comment on any specific situation S: Why wouldn't you make it public?
They’re ‘Science skeptics, Truth skeptics, they are ‘Reason skeptics’, Which means they are “Thinking’ skeptics.
Denying coverage is how they turn a profit. Your suffering IS their business plan.
Losers then, losers now.
I hope their list is hard copy back up
Rand Paul: "The reason we have trials & we don't automatically assume guilt is what if we make a mistake and they happen to be people fleeing the Venezuelan dictator? ... off our coast it isn't our policy just to blow people up ... even the worst people in our country, they still get a trial."
As a survivor, I can't think of a more fitting metaphor than a rapist creating loud noises with planes as a survivor tries to tell her story. I mean... just wow. Nevertheless, she persisted.
"Stay tuned for more details" -- Epstein survivor announces that survivors are creating their own list of Epstein-related abusers

After today's #EpsteinSurvivors press conference, nobody has any reason to be afraid of #PedoTrump Anyone protecting him now should be publicly shamed every day And let me remind you that this felonious adjudicated rapist pedophile blocked me 10 years ago This useless coward🤬 #ImpeachTrumpNOW
When you stand up and fight; sometimes you lose and sometimes you win. But do you know what happens if you don't fight at all? Nothing.
Just listened to an interview with The New York Times' Sheryl Gay Stolberg. Someone who attended prep school with Robert F. Kennedy Jr. recalled watching him place metal cutlery under the dining hall table and holding a lighter to them. This was so the boy clearing the table would burn his hands.
🤣🤣🤣
"For so many years, it felt like Epstein's criminal behavior was an open secret." “We’re not going away. We’re not staying quiet. We’re not going to give up.” Annie Farmer (Epstein survivor)
It doesn’t matter if you feed your kids organic foods, MAHA moms. It doesn’t matter if you lift every day, bro. It doesn’t matter how many supplements you consume. When polio, diphtheria, measles, mumps, and whooping cough come a calling, all that matters is if you are vaccinated or not.
Photographer likely put the pup down there?
i cannot overstate how extraordinary it is for federal civil servants to do this
Why didn’t some of the Epstein survivors speak out earlier? “I thought someone was going to kill me,” one explained. As another asked, “Why did the government work so hard to protect Jeffrey Epstein and not victims like me?”
The big announcement is that Space Command is moving…..to Alabama?
Massie: "The Speaker of the House just offered a fig leaf to my colleagues. They're gonna vote on a non-binding resolution today that does absolutely nothing ... they're allowing the DOJ to curate all of the information that the DOJ is giving them ... the perpetrators are being protected"
🚨🚨🚨”What we heard today is a cover up. And it is a cover up of epic proportions. A cover up involving the US government, the justice system, rich and powerful individuals… and yes, a cover up by republicans in this chamber.”
This guy needs to get off the pot, seriously, what is wrong with him. #DumbAsABoxofRocks www.ctvnews.ca/politics/art...
So far, four House Republicans have defied Trump and signed a discharge petition to force a vote on the release of Justice Department files associated with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
COMMENTARY: If this was happening in another nation, we'd call it by name. It's authoritarianism.
other98 Wild how the people yelling, "Don't force your lifestyle on my kids!" ...Are the same ones trying to make sure their god, their guns, and their 6th-grade-level opinions run every classroom.
USA destroyer fires on, and violently explodes PRIVATE BOAT in the Caribbean, SUSPECTED of having drugs on it. ELEVEN PEOPLE DEAD, identities unknown. J. F. C. Why can’t the MSM say that?
🧵 Jess Michaels, a survivor of 27 years, just spoke with unshakable courage before the world: for herself, for Virginia Giuffre, & for every survivor silenced for too long. Her voice broke through decades of denial. The survivors will be silent no longer.
Hearing an idea and adopting it is the antithesis of thinking. Considering an opposing idea is still just comparing. If you don’t like the confusion of grey areas, then you don’t like thinking.
Mango mobster……hold my beer.

Pritzker: "When did we become a country where it's ok for the US president to insist on national television that a state should call him to beg for anything? Especially something we don't want. Have we truly lost all sense of sanity in this nation that we treat this as normal?"
I hate when I hear people in my area say "nobody wants to work". 🙄
This was misrepresented by the media--it happened to Carsten Breue last year and he just described the incident today German military chief describes GPS jamming after EU plane targeted www.yahoo.com/news/article...
Hours after trying to assassinate the EU Commission president, Russia tried to assassinate Germany’s military's inspector general, Carsten Breue, the highest-ranking general in the Bundeswehr. His plane was also jammed once over the Baltic Sea and once over Lithuania.
Though there was about 1500 at the Indivisible event yesterday, I am disappointed that there wasn't many, many more. What, in the fuck, is it going to take, to get people to destroy Orange fascism? Someone tell me, cause I don't understand...
BREAKING: MASSIVE RALLY FORMING IN MAINE AGAINST SUSAN COLLINS.
This is my 95-year-old neighbor. He's been living alone since his wife passed away from cancer, and not long ago, he also lost his loyal companion dog. Now, every day, our chicken Hei Hei escapes the yard just to visit him. She sits with him, accepts treats, and lets him pet her like an old
He never counted on Canadian patriotism. He didn't realize we know tariffs & trade. He didn't count on Canadians resisting his BS. He didn't think we had economic cards to play. He sure as fuck didn't see Elbows Up! He didn't see us not travelling there. Nor buying squat of theirs. He didn't see.
Rounding and bounding are very powerful for mental math. Find a similar problem that is slightly less complex. Can you draw it out? Round it. Recognizing what is a reasonable solution can eliminate being cheated.
Kressly: I expect in the next couple of weeks, this is going to get worse. You’re going to hear from the same administrative people who have gutted the expertise needed to promote child health — pushing false narratives like, “we need to look at the link between vaccines and autism.” That is a lie.
I don’t know if you all remember, but Sharice Davids was reelected in Kansas even after the GOP gerrymandered her district…
Today's a good day to learn Colbert found a new job. Hope it's a good one for everybody! #HappyLaborDay
Also: complaining about cheap goods from India and also that American Corporations are unable to sell things to impoverished Indians is pretty ridiculous.
“This is the lesson: never give in, never give in, never, never, never, never—in nothing, great or small, large or petty—never give in except to convictions of honour and good sense. Never yield to force; never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy.” —Winston Churchill

"Nobody wants to be a cop [in DC]. They were abused. They were spit on." "When you when you say they were abused and spit on, I'm assuming you're talking about January 6th, correct?" "All you guys want to do was bring up J6 about the answer to everything."
And Chump is The Chief Spy among Us,or Krasnov,if You're Boss Putin.......
In Democratic areas. They cut the polling places only in Democratic areas. It is my goal to do the same to them. I'm not asking for Republicans to be decent any longer. I am demanding we treat them no better than they treat us. Call your blue state governor and demand reciprocity.
And they spent FEMA money to build it, so now THAT’S GONE. Typical Republican balance sheet.
You will hear professional racists imply that Haiti is an example of (and clearly they mean something else when they say this…) anti-imperialism being Bad, and that Haiti would have been better off not freed, when clearly the horror it experiences now is an obvious example of a) why imperialism is…

Evangelicals spent 60+ years screaming about the Antichrist coming, then when he showed up they started wearing his merch.

Beavers pause while chewing trees to listen for movements so that the tree doesn't fall on them.
"She did not die defending the Constitution. She died trying to overturn it. She was not protecting lives at a gate in Iraq; she was forcing her way through windows in the Capitol to stop the peaceful transfer of power." New from @markhertling.bsky.social:
Yes. I'm empathetic towards ALL the people he is hurting.
go.bsky.app/B1u7UwZ 47 has taken away Harris’ secret service. This is how 47 is making retribution against his opponents. We need to stop this. 47 hates opposition. I oppose this liar, rapist and fascist. Follow and find a veteran to protest with.
The sitting President of the United States raped children and he’s in no danger of being held accountable for it.

RFK Jr looks like he’s been sampling the diseases at the CDC
WHAT is it going to take to get the outrage up to "let's fucking ACTUALLY DO SOMETHING" levels? The entire world is watching the USA circling the moral drain while they watch their favorite program. Come to think of it, we've been watching this for 7 decades.
