After my post on vaccinating my children when they were babies, I got asked to have ‘nuanced’ convos with antivaxxers. No. I’m not platforming lies that led to the drop in vaccines, sick children with lifelong impacts and dead children. Vaccines save lives and protect health. Period.

This is one of the most evil things this thing has done.

I assume all the same right-wingers who went after Harvard's president will demand resignations here, too. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/29/w...

If they are actually going to enforce deportations in FL at job sites then the construction industry in FL will grind to a halt. Until they can replace those employees with US-born workers willing to work outside in the summer in 100 degree heat & humidity. Should be no problem.

Moving to the country from a city improved my QoL in ways that are hard to explain. Most gastroenterologists are blown away that my Crohn's disease is in full remission while not taking any immunosuppressive medication.

WTF!

True or false?

Wow. Avelo airlines has covered up their logo to hide the fact that they're helping with mass deportation. Avelo's customer service number is (346) 616-9500. Feel free to give them a call and tell them how you feel about them.

This is a very big deal.👇 www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

I absolutely agree with this! It’s so sad that millions don’t. #Pinks

In San Antonio today, plainclothes ICE officers (not masked this time) arrested, handcuffed, and zip-tied a family of five (yes, ALL of them, including the little children) coming out of their immigration court hearing — which ICE had just had dismissed. www.mysanantonio.com/news/local/a...

ICE turned back in Somerville So many Somerville community members came out that ICE simply retreated. Nonviolent resistance works when communities come together to protect kids and families.

Biden is not POTUS. A septuagenarian in cognitive decline IS in the Oval Office, and the public is taking notice. "A YouGov/Economist poll, conducted last week, found that 45% felt Trump had been “not at all” or “not very” transparent about his health.. www.thedailybeast.com/trump-shows-...

Canada has seen a surge of American doctors seeking to move north in the months since President Donald Trump returned to the White House.

No. Universities do not have to be "in sync with the administration and what the administration is trying to accomplish." They are institutions of learning led by scholars who follow their research in search of knowledge. They support free inquiry and learning. They are not political pawns.

A group of military contractors led by Erik Prince of Blackwater just pitched a TWENTY FIVE BILLION dollar project to mass deport 12 million innocent people from the U.S. before the 2026 midterms! We’re talking about processing camps for innocent civilians on military bases & inhumane practices!!

Trump commutes the federal sentence of a notorious Chicago gang leader, who continued to run the gang from behind prison walls. His state sentence still holds. "Mr. Hoover... “was the undisputed leader of perhaps the largest monolithic criminal organization that this country has ever known,” ...

A form of violence against Americans? How are these people not deemed a threat to themselves and others and treated accordingly? www.npr.org/sections/sho...

Truth!

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security.    Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.   Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

“The Trump administration has launched a comprehensive attack on knowledge itself, a war against culture, history, and science,” @adamserwer.bsky.social writes. “If this assault is successful, it will undermine Americans’ ability to comprehend the world around us."

Treating a new Covid strain like a crime and not a public health issue is deranged.

This is despicable We must never forget We will never look at them the same way as before

i think there is a chance for recovery, mostly because i don't think any other power is going to be adept at capitalize on us stabbing ourselves in the dick, but it'll require a decisive and active majority in congress that are sustained for more than just a single congress and thats a big if

He's going to break truth social within the hour.

Breaking: The Federal Trade Court blocked the Felon from imposing sweeping tariffs on imports. The ruling from a 3 judge panel at the Court of International Trade. Lawsuits argued that the Felon exceeded his authority leaving U.S. trade policy dependent on his whims unleashing economic chaos.

absolutely wild to spend years concerned about regional brain drain just to end up with this

Beyond parody.

Fuck Trump!!! www.bbc.com/news/article...

Literally condemning the elderly to premature deaths.

Since I speak fluent Trump, let me explain this. Trump announced his Golden Dome thing without checking with Canada. He can’t do it without Canada’s cooperation. Now Canada is using it as leverage in trade negotiations. So dumbass Trump is clowning to find a way to make it work.
