Is there a group of these photos of people enjoying retribution coming to Nottoway after 165 years? Because this made me giggle.

conservative men be normal about me once challenge (difficulty level: impossible)

This is fucked up. A pregnant woman is brain dead, but under the GA abortion ban her family must pay for her life support for 32 weeks to finish developing the baby she was pregnant with. Her brain-dead body is an incubator. Not even a sci-fi writer would have come up with something so morbid.

This is pure evil. We watched and read dystopian fiction about this stuff. Here they are doing it in real life.

This is not a serious administration and it’s also filled with bad people

Breaking WSJ: The newly appointed head of FEMA acknowledged in private meetings that with two weeks to go until hurricane season, the agency doesn't yet have a fully formed disaster-response plan. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

This is horrendous. And also purposeful. RFK Jr. wasn't put in charge of HHS to Make America Healthy Again. He was put in it to control our bodies, spread misinformation, and make our health system even worse than it is. The cruelty is the point. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Please check in with your fed friends. It's kinda stressful here You’re fired You’re rehired You’re refired You’re staying but your team is fired Your team is staying but your funding’s cut You’re moving across the country, maybe Restraining order 🛑 Restraining order against the restraining order 🔙

They're gonna turf out every slightly effete gay man and ignore the hyper-masculine 25 year old who is inexplicably friends with every woman in the unit ask me how I know.

So, you might be wondering: does it matter if Covid shots are recommended? Yes, yes it does. 1. Insurance won't cover them if they're not recommended. That's a HUGE challenge for a lot of people. 2. If more people skip the shots, manufacturers will make fewer doses, making them harder to find.

Just so we're clear, they're sending innocent people to die in a hellish pit in El Salvador and defying SCOTUS orders to bring them back and have plenty of time to pitch and develop a Hunger Games for Migrants

Lead Republican tax bill writer says the quiet part out loud. This “big beautiful bill” CUTS health care for millions of people.

A thing I think is kind of messed up is that we’ve stopped considering ‘being evil’ to be a moral failing in a person

THREAD: We recently heard that the Trump administration was leaning on the government of Gambia to help Elon Musk. For weeks, our team made phone calls, wrote letters and knocked on folks’ doors to try to confirm it. But we were stuck. So our reporters got on a plane to Banjul. 1/

Credit scores should be abolished

Evil. Pure evil.

never let anybody tell u that evil does not exist

love that the NYT op-ed page is giving space to RFK and Dr Oz to call for throwing people off welfare

This is just not true. The majority view among researchers at this point is that work requirements do not work. There is a reason they do not cite a single study here.

Not to beat a dead horse, but this is the kind of shit that Democratic Party leaders should be screaming about from the rooftops. We're turning into a gestapo state, and most Americans have no fucking idea that it's happening.

GOOD NEWS: Our campaign volunteer Discord server is now public! If you have ideas or skills you think could help our campaign, we want them! Not only to win, but also to materially improve as many lives as we can along the way. Join today! discord.gg/h4dYsfa5zF

Talking about meeting voters where they are, I think this is the first I've heard of a candidate having a Discord.

How is this even a hard question? Yes, the constitution applies to everyone. Sorry if that answer didn't occur to you

May is Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) Awareness Month. Funding for research, lifesaving government funded support systems and more are under attack. We are under attack. #millionsmissing #mecfs #longcovid #savemedicaid #savetelehealth #pwme

The Dems saw that David Hogg was anti-gerontocracy and said his PAC might primary currently seated Dems (something a majority of Dem voters agree on rn) and they said "Fuck off forever" almost immediately, and got rid of him in a way almost custom designed to lose voters and empower the right lol.

The Racist MAGA Grift Corrupting America Raising 750K for a white woman who used the N-word, accepting luxury planes from Qatar, welcoming white South Africans "refugees" - it's a racist grift & MAGA is laughing all the way to the bank. With @parkermolloy.com open.substack.com/pub/thelefth...

REFUGEE: "We'd like asylum in the United States." ASYLUM HOTLINE: "We're full. Not taking any more." REFUGEE: "We're white." ASYLUM HOTLINE: "How soon can you get here?"

No Matt is right: When your country is descending into fascism, the most important role for journalists is to constantly police the tone and messaging of opposition movements.

This pup just started their fitness journey and could use a spotter. And a little encouragement. 12/10

I think this is my favorite part of the Hasan Piker story. One of the reasons I will never be a famous influencer or commentator is I lack the people skills or sharp insight to realize when the cop interrogating me is actually secretly totally on my side.

Gavin Newsom Sits Down For Podcast With Serial Killer Who Targets Homeless

You know...it's actually worse now...when everybody is 100% aware of the endless lies...and still nobody stops these monsters

The reason people constantly suggest that Dems "adopt moderate social positions" (which... end up not being "moderate" at all) is because they think that Dems won't lose votes by moving to the right. They are wrong in thinking this.

I have ME/CFS, and I am in solidarity with those protesting in DC and at home today for #MillionsMissing! We are sending out a #DisabilitySOS 🆘. Save our Support Systems💔. Save our Science 🔬. Save Our Society 🌍.#MillionsMissing #MECFS @meactnet Learn more: www.meactions.org/millionsmiss...

Hey @darthbluesky.bsky.social Minerva is my first cat so I have a newbie question: does she stare at random spots on the wall just to freak me out or is she capable of seeing particles invisible to humans?

Favor to ask! Today is #MillionsMissing, recognizing the debilitating neuro disease I have, ME/CFS. It has no approved treatment and is NIH’s most underfunded disease by impact. Could you help us change that by joining this call for funding? Takes 1 min, open globally, wins my eternal gratitude <3

#MillionsMissing SOS #MECFS stole my life. #MECFSis my cage. I have moderate to severe ME. It is a serious, chronic, multi-system, complex neuroimmune disease. My quality of life is low. There is no cure. Very few doctors know how to help. We don't have any approved treatments or diagnostic tests.

🌠On #MEAwarenessDay we fight for visibility, research, and justice. 🛌Millions are missing. We deserve to be seen, believed, and treated. 🧪We need urgent biomedical research to make progress. #MillionsMissing

World ME Day - May 12, 2025 We need good health care, up-to-date medical education and immediate research funding! I have suffered from ME/CFS since 2009. #StandByMEcfs #StillSickStillFighting #MEcfs #EndMEcfs #MEAction #MillionsMissing #TeachMETreatME #pwME

This #MEAwarenessDay, I'm sharing an artwork inspired by my beautiful partner and a hero @me-cfs.bsky.social ! REST IS RESISTANCE. Cure ME/CFS, Cure Long Covid. I dare to care and I ask you to care. I am with #MillionsMissing who are #StillSickStillFighting for an another #WorldMEDay

Seventeen years ago, I got a virus and never recovered (Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/ME). The 2026 budget completely scraps the CDC's research on my disease. Today on ME Awareness Day, we're asking to save our science and save our support. #MEaction #MEawareness #DisabilitySOS #MillionsMissing 💙

It’s almost May 12, almost #millionsmissing What’s that? Millions of people r missing. Missing fr work, fr school, fr their families, fr their own lives. Where r they? Home, sick; struggling; some r homeless. Some can’t care for themselves. They r hoping tomorrow’s better. Help us get there!
