This is so true. Nothing brings me more joy than looking at the books that I have chosen to have on my book shelves.

Nice shirt!! 😂 Correct answer: d

Yes. Yes we do.

What a condescending fuck. What a heartless cunt--and that is not a word I use lightly. In fact, I take it back. Cunts are lifegiving. This piece of shite? She's just part of the Republican Death Party who wants everybody who doesn't think/look/believe like her, dead. Vote her out.

That would be awful. Don’t share this.

As much fun as the TACO memes are, don't forget what that stands for: TRUMP ALWAYS CHICKENS OUT. It would be a shame to ignore the chicken memes that are there for the taking. Here's a little Starter Kit you might need. ENJOY!

i have begun to use “wicked” to describe these people. it is old fashioned but captures the active nature of their malevolence. they are *agents* of evil

If you thought they actually saw their constituents as fellow human beings, this should disabuse you of that. Your problems don't affect them so they couldn't care less. Stop voting for these assholes.

This begs to have the line flooded with folks claiming they were abducted and probed by green men. Get to it.

Trump gets bullied by Wall st, Elon ran for the hills, Stephen Miller’s wife ditched the White House, Bongino is a shell of himself, and Hegseth is anxiously wiretapping his own office. All while Putin and Xi eat our lunch. MAGA’s “Alpha Men” are nothing more than a pack of cowardly sissies.

Well, I was just approved for Medicare. Let's see if I can keep it.

SpaceX goes 💥, but… 🌏 United Launch Alliance 🌎 has delivered OVER 150 🚀 government payloads into SPACE since 2006 with a…. 100% SUCCESS RATE 🌎 💫 You don’t hear much about them because their CEO isn’t a raging narcissist who needs constant attention. 💁🏻‍♂️ ☄️ 🌒

Capitol Police chief blasts Jan 6 conspiracy theories: “My folks were here on Jan. 6.. They were assaulted.. Many of them were injured. They know exactly what happened on Jan. 6. For somebody to make up some story that, 'Oh, it wasn't that bad’..it is just not true” www.cbsnews.com/news/capitol...

Hey, wouldn't it be a shame if nobody came to 🍊💩🐒's parade? There are tickets. Remember K-pop fans' rally massacre? where they got all the tickets and nobody showed? Do that here for the Self-Aggrandizement Dictator Parade: Get free tickets, come to the No Kings event near you instead.

Right after "Don't use semicolons," "Don't use adverbs," "Don't use speech tags beyond 'said' and 'says,'" and "Always delete the word 'that,'" my favorite piece of writing advice is "Don't listen to people giving writing advice who are incessantly telling you not to do things."

If you’re feeling despair about what’s happening, one way to regain control is through action. Here you’ll find steps you can take to resist the Trump regime’s unlawful actions and help protect our democracy.

‼️ ATTENTION SENIORS REPUBLICANS are gonna CUT $500 billion from MEDICARE Yup, Republicans' "Big Bill" has a hidden poison pill in it that triggers half a trillion dollars in CUTS TO MEDICARE Call your Representative and Senators and demand they remove the Medicare poison pill (202) 224-3121 1/2

The more people who are denied care and left to die, the more profitable it is for health insurance companies. Your reminder that for-profit healthcare isn't healthcare. It's an exploitation of sick people and transfer of wealth from the working class to the mega-rich.

George Floyd should be alive today. He should be raising his daughter, living his life. 5 years later, we owe him more than thoughts and hashtags. His daughter said, “My daddy changed the world.” Let’s stop failing her, and him. Congress must pass the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act.

@nyctransit.bsky.social why is this bus stop always a garbage dump?

Phang: It’s time for federal judges to acknowledge that they have lifetime appointments—and that should give them the courage to uphold the rule of law, but also to put some damn teeth into the court orders they’re issuing. it’s time that we start seeing action from the judiciary. Grow some balls

This is so awful. What's happening in Gaza is so awful. Fucking stop hating each other. All of us.

The fight for democracy is the fight of our generation. It may not be the battle we wanted, but it is the one we face. The state of our democracy and the future of our country depends on our willingness to take risks, ignore the naysayers, weather setbacks and fight fiercely for democracy.

This bill the Republicans passed is a literal assault on the health and wellbeing of citizens in this country. It is a power grab and an attempt to turn us into corporate and government serfs and kill the rest of us who can't be used to make them richer. FIGHT BACK OR DIE.

dingdingding! And too many mediocre people are in Congress.

This is absolutely terrible news. With the shifting regulatory climate (i.e., antivax ratfuckery), Moderna has withdrawn their application for their eagerly anticipated COVID-flu combo vaccine. This vaccine offered better protection than getting each shot separately. h/t @merz.bsky.social

Boyle: We just verified with the congressional budget office and of 13.7 million Americans who will lose their health care because of their bill, exactly zero are undocumented immigrants

The GOP Tax Scheme is top-down class warfare by the richest people in the world against everyone else.

This bill will kill people. The sick freaks who passed it do not value any human life but their own, do not value anything but power and money. They should not be in government or have any power over other people's lives. Get them out before they kill more people. General Strike now.

A VERY important point -- this bill is not final, not at all. It will now go to the Senate. If the Senate makes changes to the bill (they likely will), it will go back to the House for another vote. The House passed it last night with ONE VOTE. We can stop this. We have to.

Billionaires and CEOs know Trump and Republicans are gutting Medicaid and SNAP to pay for their tax cuts. So where are the billionaires who should be saying, “Wait…don’t cut my taxes if it means kids go hungry or die from treatable cancer”? This is why the rich are villainized by every day folks.
