Those saying the US is too big a country to achieve such gains… Here stands China.
The prevalence of firearms in the U.S. – not mental illness – is driving the surge in gun deaths across the country, a new study concludes. The research led by an Oregon Health & Science University professor looked at mental health conditions and firearm
Ghislaine Maxwell's deposition was not under oath. She was not video taped, which is very unusual for a deposition. And there are many cuts where they stopped the audio tapes so lawyers could confer with her off-the-record. None of that stuff is the way you do a deposition.
The oldest fossil evidence shows that humans originated in Africa about 200,000 years ago and would have had dark pigmented skin to protect them from intense UV rays. So if you're a believer in "God," and believe man was created in his image... then it stands to reason that God is a Black man.
I have to have them every 2-3 years. Shortened the prep by fasting for 2 days and then laid back and enjoyed the meds.

If you honestly believe the Russians hit the EU delegation in Kyiv by accident, I don't think you should be allowed to operate heavy machinery and I frankly question if letting you dress and bathe yourself is a violation of our collective duty of care.
Anyone who has held a dying child knows that prayer helps people feel God’s closeness and love but that it isn’t a solution to humans killing humans
The new ICE song by Jesse Welles nails it. ICE isn’t recruiting heroes, it’s recruiting the bitter, the rejected, the ones desperate for a badge to cover their failures. Losers with power become the most dangerous kind. (c/o Caroline Codsi)
Just in case you forgot…
“the spokesperson said in a statement, ‘Across the country, DHS law enforcement are arresting and removing the worst of worst including gang members, murderers, pedophiles, and rapists that have terrorized American communities.’” All I see are parents, workers, harvesters, and cooks. DHS lies.
When I reported for duty at Naval Station Great Lakes, I never imagined that some day a US President would seek to use it as a base for surveillance and enforcement activity on American soil. Our military was not set up to cater to the whims of a would-be American dictator.
Performative Ass!
Don’t look away
"Literally no one thinks prayer is a substitute for action." Then why is prayer, literally, *always* the substitute for action, you willfully obtuse asshole?
Children have to deal with mass shootings in schools while certain adults can't even handle a logo change.
Vaccines do not cause autism.
Denmark summons US charge d’affaires over alleged attempts to interfere with Greenland’s status – Europe live
If you believe that a white woman who is a convicted child sex abuser and trafficker is innocent and honest, but a Latino father who had to be released because they could find no evidence against him is guilty and a liar, then it isn't law & order you believe in, it's child abuse & white supremacy.
I know this is not a unique observation but public health was basically created to deal with the Spanish flu, and then a century later COVID hit and killed twice as many people and our response was to destroy public health
On this day in 1916, President Woodrow Wilson signed the Organic Act, officially creating the National Park Service to protect and preserve America’s natural wonders and historic treasures “for the enjoyment of this and future generations.”
one sign that the “unitary executive” is less the restoration of an older constitutional order and more the imposition of a radical new one is that allowing the president to act untethered from most legal or congressional limits has largely just served to plunge the country into disorder
If I hear “boys are falling behind!” one more gd time FINISH THE SENTENCE falling behind WHOM, motherfuckers? SAY IT SAY AND OWN THAT YOU THINK IT’S UNNATURAL FOR GIRLS TO BE BETTER AT SHIT THAN BOYS
Epstein survivor Sarah Ransome on Ghislaine Maxwell. Listen to the survivors.
How did we get a party of Susan Collinses?
This is objectively hilarious.
👇👇
Perfect tat. I love this for both of you!
MAGAts hate the gays and certainly aren't brain surgeons! Jesus.
Here’s what was NOT released today: - the proffer agreement between Maxwell and the DoJ - the agreement transferring Maxwell to club fed - communications showing who waived Maxwell’s sex offender status allowing her transfer and possible work assignments outside prison - the Epstein files
The last US Civil War was between people who believed some people were not human, and could therefore be treated inhumanely, and those that believe all are created equal. This US Cold Civil War we are in now, is the similar. It's about inhumanity vs humanity.
Imagine posting that it’s impossible to know the perspective of a marginalized community while screaming at that marginalized community that they have to vote for someone who has already thrown them under the bus.
I’m looking for my next bumper sticker. Elderly White Hippie: Protesting since the Sixties.
Mockler: They say that they oppose it at a 79% rate, 61% of them feel less safe… So the question that I then want to ask is, why don't we mobilize the National Guard to the eight out of ten red states that are the highest homicide states?
I wish more politicians understood how the economy is rigged against regular people the way Bill Burr does.
Because you all needed a Turtles meeting... 🤣🤣 #bluesky
Because nothing says “you should feel free to come visit Washington” like standing in front of dozens of armed soldiers next to a guy who thinks women shouldn’t be able to vote 🙃
Trees communicate with each other. Everything is connected. Everything.
Settler colonialism and slavery are the twin sins on which this country is built If your history museums don't make grappling with them a core part of their programming, it's not history. It's propaganda.
The clear assault on Black women in public leadership happening right now is an alarm. In #TheDoubleTax, I discuss Governor Cook's rise to power and how there was a concerted effort to discredit her. Believe me when I say if they can oust Governor Cook, Jerome Powell is next. #econsky #blacksky
We had male cheerleaders at our high school and at least one did the same at his college.
Trump opposes postal voting, claiming inaccuracies, but many countries use the system.

It's official: Former Senator Sherrod Brown has launched his bid for U.S. Senate in Ohio.
I think it's worth pointing out that the right has, for the last, what, 30 years?, embraced the idea that if masked men approach your car you should shoot them. All of them. And have legislated that way with "stand your ground"and "castle" laws.
Holy shit.
I must confess that is kind of how I write my sermons.
💙 MEN….SUPPORT WOMEN!!! 👇👇👇👇👇
@gavinnewsom.bsky.social: "He's a wartime president. He's the head of a war party. War on women. War on voting rights. War on Hispanics. A war on this state. War on institutions. Now he wants war on history."
We’ve been watching it since January.
EX AMBASSADOR TO RUSSIA MCFAUL: “Putin doesn't look at all of this stuff as a sign of strength. He looks at it as a sign of weakness. He had to do absolutely nothing to get this meeting. Putin has gained everything and given nothing in return.”
Since @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social is so concerned about @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social housing maybe he should address his own property tax bill of just $213 a year thanks to a sweetheart deal he supported when he served in the state Assembly that will last through 2032. nypost.com/2022/01/23/r...
And while deploying troops against his own people! 🙄
Don’t forget the salami!
@rokhanna.bsky.social Please have the victims bring photos of their 14 year old selves to hold as they speak. America needs to see how horrible this mess was. #Epstein
A president deploying troops against his own people doesn’t deserve any kind of prize much less the Peace Prize.
Here’s a big problem in the United States: Half the country thinks Kyle Rittenhouse is a hero and a guy who threw a sub should be jailed for life.
Well, he is dead to me…
People who want to protect "The Sanctity of Marriage" are always people who voted for a man who raped his first wife, deserted his family of three young children to run off with one of his mistresses, deserted her and their child for another mistress, and then cheated on her with a porn actress. 🤔
🧵1/6 Hours before a gunman fired nearly 500 rounds 🔫 into CDC HQ — killing Officer David Rose 🚔 and forcing hundreds of us into lockdown — RFK Jr.’s hand-picked vaccine advisor posted a gun photo with this caption: “Five out of six scientists have proven that Russian roulette is harmless.” 🎯
I don't know what's happening in this video?? But, i support it... 👀😅🤣 #bluesky
Every time I’ve ever tried to journal, someone has found it, read it, and used it to humiliate me. That’s a big nope for me.
Not enough people are talking about the chilling subtext and imagery in the messages being sent by the official DHS accounts
Inslee: If you need more energy, the dumbest thing you can do is disallow access to wind, solar, and advanced batteries—three of the most productive ways of producing new energy. And yet, that’s exactly what he’s done.
Welp
Expose them! That is the diff between Dems and the GOP. We are saying so be it, they say let’s hide it.
Tawdry and nouveau riche. No class at all.
If they agree to actually pay taxes, sure. If they are going to loophole their way to 0, they should already be paying $25/hr plus benefits. How much is the CEO paid?
🧵🧵🧵 In this thread, I lay out more than a dozen facts about Trump and his child-molester friends Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. I challenge you to read the whole thread and then decide what the odds are that Trump did not abuse girls or tolerate his pals Epstein and Maxwell doing so.
Our parks are in survival mode and they need more staff!
Abbott wants Texas Dems to be removed from office for "abandoning" their voters for 10 days. Yet my Congressman Sylvester Turner died on March 5th & Abbott didn't call for a replacement election until November with an expect runoff in December. I'll go 10 months without representation. Weird, right?

Yeah so throwing dildos at women athletes on the court is an actual example of gender-based violence against women in sports—one that transphobes and acquiescent Dems will surely make 1000% less noise about
Give them no peace!
As Democrats wrestle with the question of retaliatory gerrymandering they should remember that it is the Supreme Court has driven us to this moment. open.substack.com/pub/sherrily...

They are just admitting that the GOP will lose elections if they don’t cheat. They know they are committing atrocities and that will lead to their downfall.
It’s a concept of a boom.
The social ostracism from being associated with ICE has to become overwhelming. We have to show that anybody associated with them cannot be a part of regular society again ever
Someone has to ask: is this because you think he will lose with the original lines? Didn’t he win the last election with those districts? Does this mean you believe his popularity is waning?
It’s mind boggling how many additional people this administration is killing. “I have been in this business for over 50 years on the front lines of public health…And I can say unequivocally that this was the most dangerous public health decision I have ever seen made by a government body.”
Should have told him that Obama jumped from that spot and made a perfect landing.
Grocery stores that have been eating the cost of tariffs are about to pump the brakes. Some are looking to be more transparent about the coming price hikes. Starting tomorrow, new tariffs of 15% to 50% hit a wide range of food items. If you’ve got a household food budget, this is a must-watch.
Well said, @voteannjohnson.bsky.social Love what the Texas Dems are doing to fight for our democracy.
Ghislaine Maxwell doesn’t want grand jury materials in her case unsealed. Lawyers for Maxwell, a longtime associate of Jeffrey Epstein, in court papers opposed DOJ’s effort to make the materials public.
Re-upping this from November. Some of us have consistently tried to warn about what was to come. Many of us were treated as hysterical.
