Classic Mr. Roger’s!
I’ve been near tears all day with the new of the resignations and walk out at the CDC. Public health has saved more lives than any other medical invention and we are witnessing the intentional destruction of an agency that was previously the envy of the world. How awful for us all.
Welp, it’s happened. My small business buys cork fabric from Portugal and now I’ve got a 20% tax on my invoice - previously 0%. Thanks a lot #TrumpTarrifs there goes my profit margin
Pretty advanced attack for a toddler
This book is exactly what you describe! Well written, captivating, and a great survey of geology starting from the Big Bang.
At this point I could be convinced that a time traveler keeps going back to 2016 to try and fix it and just keeps unwittingly making it worse
In case it’s helpful, when women are called back for additional screening, the likelihood they’ll find cancer is about 0.5%. So out of 200 women with an abnormal mammogram, 1 will actually have cancer and 199 will find out that everything is fine. Here’s hoping you’re one of the 199!
If you're a Marine or other service member being mobilized to Los Angeles and you'd like to apply for conscientious objector status, call the GI Rights Hotline to get some guidance on your options: 1-877-447-4487
Honestly I’m surprised he used the word ‘atrophied’ correctly in a sentence.
So sorry this happened! FWIW, when a woman has an abnormal mammogram, 0.5% will ultimately prove to be cancer. Which means 199 times out of 200 the subsequent work up shows “not cancer.” Here’s hoping you’re one of the 199!
This is how you do it.
Why would a leader tank his own country's economy? It's a key part of the aspiring autocrat's playbook. Tariffs & chaos mean more power & control for Trump. But America has no king. The Republican-led Congress can stop this at any time. Let your reps hear from you. 5calls.org/issue/trump-...
I have tariffed the penguins that are on Heard Island and which you were probably assuming did not export goods forgive me they were taking advantage of us so cunning and so cold
This was….five months ago
“I insist on being shocked. I am never going to become immune. I think that’s a kind of failure to see so much of it that you die inside. I want to be surprised and shocked every time.” ― Toni Morrison
Whaddya want to bet the advisory went out *because* the chuckleheads at the top were using signal to plan wars?
I sent you the war plans that were in the group chat and which you were probably saving for select eyes Forgive me they were juicy and and I was shitfaced
"The gang leaks war plans."
Ugly cry… 🫶
when exactly do you plan to START fighting? Cuz so far you’re just a bunch of hot air. Checks and balances don’t work if you don’t CHECK and BALANCE
CALLS ARE WORKING - it has bought us precious time, but we NEED to keep the pressure up. Tomorrow is the cloture vote. KEEP CALLING: (202) 224-3121 ☎️☎️☎️ Tell your Dem Senator to vote NO on Cloture and NO on the Republican spending bill. Do NOT assume your Senator will be good on this. Trust me.
Get in loser, we're tanking the economy
Haven’t read Briar Club (yet) but I did enjoy her other historical fiction novels, esp The Rose Code
Used to go weekly, last trip was maybe a month ago? I’m all in!
JUST IN: USDA probationary employee was terminated last month and reported to us that they were told by their State Unemployment Office that USDA reported the employee VOLUNTARILY RESIGNED, when in fact they had not. Who else is in this situation and what advice might you have? Quick advice is ⬇️
What he said about Social Security payments has been repeatedly debunked - so the question isn’t whether he’s lying about this, the question is why. What is this a pretext for? He and the GOP have long shown interest in going after Social Security. What are they going to try?
Lemme guess, only white people need apply
When the Nazis took power and gutted the Weimar era civil service in government, they also claimed the need to increase efficiency and to ensure loyalty to the nazi party. They did it through the law for the restoration of the professional civil service. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_for...
Apropos of nothing, this seems like a good time to remind everyone that the US anti-vaccine movement started as a bioterrorism attack by Russia. pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...
Just damn. Trans friends and kin stay with us. You are loved, wanted and needed.
Hey queer and trans authors, Please write your books. Now more than ever, our stories need to be told and published en masse. Don't let them erase us. Don't let them kill us on the page, in history, and in our minds. Signed, A queer and trans author who will not let them kill me.
How about a restraining order against those goons, keeping them out of government buildings and away from government data?
The higher costs from Trump’s tariffs will be felt by the nurse in Philomath and the firefighter in Coos Bay. Not by Trump, Elon Musk or their billionaire buds.

The BCG vaccine is used in some other countries but not here in the US - it’s not highly effective, can cause false positive TB test results and generally the incidence of TB isn’t considered high enough to warrant its use
Being a person with deadly, incurable cancer who is nonetheless still alive for an indefinite timeframe gives me an interesting metaphor that helps me deal with things like large-scale corruption in government or commerce. Bear with me for a second while I try to explain.
SHARE WIDELY. KNOW YOUR RIGHTS. With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights. You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one. (1/3)
For anyone following the #googlyeyes saga in Bend, Oregon I would like to inform you of a recent escalation.

“…if they’re going to die, they’d better do it and decrease the surplus population then!” #muppetchristmascarol or #dickens maybe
I think the real question is why is Pluto changing colors? Planetoid chameleon? Glow up?
