Put this on a billboard.

A panel of antivaxxers in charge of vaccine recommendations, approvals, and insurance coverage…to gatekeep vaccines from Americans. The goal has always been to take away all vaccines, and it is disgraceful that so many in the media and in power pretended it could ever be anything but that. For shame

PASADENA, CA: Peaceful action at the Westin Hotel NOW. Bring water, masks, glasses, hat/helmet. D&D nerds: bring cleric supplies. Bandages, hand sanitizer. Just in case.

A Thursday afternoon getaway day Dodgers game draws at least double that.

wait wat

Are we really fucking doing this. Had nothing happened to Senator Padilla at all, what she was describing is a federal takeover of a major city by military force with no specified end-date, with no legal authority. Do not let the fascists talk their way out of that.

The best time for Schumer to completely grind the Senate to a halt would have been six months ago. The second best time is right fucking now.

She will not. They will promote her if they can. As such it is up to Democrats in the House to file articles of impeachment [I KNOW THEY WILL FAIL] - FILE THE ARTICLES and keep bringing them up ALL OF THE TIME. Tell folks that you will impeach her if you have the majority in the future.

More Americans voted for Senator Alex Padilla than for 48 of the 53 red state GOP U.S. Senators combined.

This third point is not getting enough outrage.

Very importantly, it is not a "sign of the rising political tensions," it is "sign of the increasingly authoritarian approach of the Trump administration." Fucking say so, cowards.

21 games over .500? 21 games over .500.

They lie constantly.

this is a good wake up call for elected Dems to realize what’s happening and what’s going to happen not generally, not in the abstract, but to them personally shut it all down and start acting like you’re in immediate danger, because you are

Randomly remembering when the FBI asking nicely for months and then finally searching Mar-a-Lago in plain clothes when they were sure Trump wasn’t there was the biggest outrage in history.

And Bundy supporters showed up armed to the teeth and were openly sighting in on federal employees. None of this seemed overly troubling to those on the right. Imagine if these images were of LA protestors aiming in on LAPD officers.

Is anybody working on a book about Trump’s cognitive state?

Once again, punch a fascist and they back down.

if you don't like bluesky then don't use it, it's not that deep

I told you we’d be back

this is so emblematic of the differences of the centrist democrat and the leftist democrat. centrists have nothing to offer and have to rely on fear to gain power while the left actually has a vision for a better world, this is why centrists have to resort to this rhetoric

Siri, what form of government is this called?

we’ve gotten this kind of Q a lot and here’s what I can say [mini 🧵 incoming] ideally, it is always best to fill all five ballot slots with candidates because that will ensure you have a voice — and your ballot is not ‘exhausted’ — if there are many rounds of tallying however!!! …

Why is the Grand Hyatt Manchester San Diego completely sold out 7/29-7/31? That's a couple of days after SDCC ends and it's available the two days before that.

leftists: that thing you teach us in school to be terrified of is happening historians: that thing is definitely happening star wars: here is a beat-for-beat breakdown of how the thing happens, but with pew pew lasers. we know you watched it news outlets: these protesters are out of control

u have been kidnapped and a character from the last tv show u watched is trying to rescue u who is coming to save u Pilot and Moya have my back. The rest of the crew too. (Currently watching just took picture now.)

oh god we are going to get the civility handwringers out in force because trump got some boos at the kennedy center

I wonder if LLMs would have even taken off had Google not degraded search. For years they used questionable ranking metrics which rewarded SEO slop over useful content. It's not surprising fast but inaccurate information was more attractive than sifting through a 10,000 word essay to find a recipe.

Hey Tigers lost. That means the Mets have the ... best record in the majors?

A CG SHO? In this economy?

the word "constitution" does not appear in this article nor does any indication that the Trump regime's actions might be illegal it does however note "White House officials maintain that the president is ... standing up for 'law and order' as Democrats go soft on violent agitators."

this feels accurate

"likely to draw an uproar from pro-vaccine groups" like the opponents are a tiny special interest group and not "literally all doctors and 95% of parents"

RFK Jr’s ACIP pick, Martin Kulldorff, said one of the most disturbing images from the pandemic was a toddler crying about having to wear a mask. I see toddlers cry about everything all the time, and I found it far more disturbing to see refrigerator trucks full of body bags outside of the hospitals…

Since Jan, Trump administration members have 1) endorsed the Confederacy, 2) endorsed white Afrikaner attacks on the post-Apartheid South African government, 3) given a Nazi salute at the inauguration, 4) endorsed the neo-Nazi party in German elections. There's a pattern here, but it's subtle.
