If your business model doesn’t work without breaking the law, then you’re not in business. You’re in organized crime.

Trump and Speaker Johnson say they’re not cutting Medicaid. David Sacks is the latest to admit they are. Because they are. By almost $1 Trillion. #TrumpsTrillionsTransfer www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

My husband and I have had, more than once, drawn-out Death Note debates on “I would make it incredibly obvious that some terrible, unknowable power was intentionally mowing people down by the dozen” vs. “I would make every murder feel believably coincidental and achievable by the average person.”

Hinckley Times doing more actual journalism than most of the mainstream media and platforming an actual trans person.

Today, I was denied access to seeing my constituent, Mr. Kilmar Abrego Garcia. If there is nothing to hide, cut the crap. Let his lawyer and I check on him.

The best Memorial Day speech is only 271 words and wasn't delivered on Memorial Day, but on November 19, 1863. Read it carefully, it's the most important speech in American military history (and maybe all of American history).

I want to offer a public apology to FDA head Marty Makary for calling him an ignorant piece of shit in a post last night. I just learned he is an islet transplant surgeon. Yes, the cells that produce insulin. I was wrong. He is not ignorant. This piece of shit knows *exactly* what he is doing.

"She was also Gaza’s youngest influencer, offering practical survival tips for daily life under bombardment, such as advice on how to cook with improvised methods when there was no gas. 'I try to bring a bit of joy to the other children so that they can forget the war. '”

Oh hey Bluesky is dead? Sweet what am I posting on

Anyone who's seen what human breeders have done to dogs has ample reason to be against eugenics You know what happens when we try to control human procreation? Habsburgs, y'all. Habsburgs.

Ok. Then let it die. Because theft is theft. And even worse if you’re profiting from the crime.

Oh the police are tired? Let's give them less to do then.

it's pretty damning when it's all laid out like this www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...

This is a work of art

We're not mad at their impotence, we're mad at their refusal to try to do anything at all They won't even buy us a drink let alone try to make it to the bedroom

this is chickens of eugenics and fatphobia coming home to roost. this is the consequence of building a society that enshrines hatred of the fat, disabled, aberrant, and ugly. it will never stop with fat people, or disabled people, or whatever group comes next. the thirst for blood is ceaseless

“Medicine doesn’t treat the root cause, they just treat symptoms.” —Every wellness grifter Marty Makary, RFK Jr & MAHA allies claim they’re going to “fix” American health by focusing on “root cause medicine.” Reality? They’re using the FDA to spread wellness propaganda. 1/

I can't love the Irish anymore than I already do (which is massively), but y'all are going to force me to invent a new category of love at this rate.

Bluesky is really dunking on popularism right now (cool). But let me offer a corollary challenge to primary election voters: endorse and support candidates who inspire you, not who you think will inspire a theorized median voter

young men everywhere in the world need to get off the fucking internet

In case y'all missed it - Utah Republicans ordered a study on transgender healthcare, expecting it to come back unsupportive. Instead, it found that trans youth care was safe and effective, and that transgender youth need it. Whoops. www.sltrib.com/news/politic...

Reposting with alt text, and the editorial comment: it's about damn time, let's see more of this.

Republicans in Utah commissioned an investigation into gender-affirming care for trans youth after banning it in 2023. They're now rejecting the findings of that investigation which showed access to care reduced suicides and improved "positive mental health and psychosocial functioning outcomes."

Billionaires should not exist. And we need to make that happen before they kill us all.

We’re all looking for the guy who did this.

There are a lot of people, especially in America, for whom two deaths is an atrocity but 40,000+ isn't It shows

Eek
