I don’t know how many times we have to say this, but the U.S. government is not a business and shouldn’t be run like one. It’s a service—for the people.

Cretin gutting social services with a chainsaw calls bureaucracy uncaring. Racist who became a billionaire on US tax dollars lectures us on how to spend our own money. 🖕

This shit needs to stop. These guys going to destroy every wild space they don’t want to buy for their private residences. Despite what the ignorant say, wild spaces provide more to humans and all else than oil ever will — in terms of ecosystem services alone.

Aside from the fact that anyone can get seriously ill from COVID, a key point they are deliberately hiding when removing access is that COVID vaccines reduce transmission. People choose to get vaccinated to protect other people. It is wrong and harmful to take that choice away.

This guy stole $10 million from the employees of his nursing home to buy himself a luxury yacht and Cartier watches. He PLED GUILTY. And because his Mom gave Trump $1 million, he just got a pardon. And this story barely makes the news today. WTF. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/27/u...

Tonight in my kid's homework, one question was: Who do you see when you are sick? She answered: "the doctor". And another question was: What makes you sick? And she answered "germs." So a 7-year-old knows more about science than half of the voting public, as well as the guy running HHS. Cool.

F-MAGA: “Say you’re in a room with 400 people. 36 don’t have health insurance. 48 live in poverty. 85 are illiterate. 90 have untreated mental illnesses. And, every day, at least one person is shot. But 2 are trans, so you decide ruining their lives is a priority. That’s what’s happening right now.”

My heart hurts today, and every day, about where we could have been. Fuck the entire Trumplandian Universe. We had our joy destroyed.

I don't want Canada, the Panama Canal, or Greenland. I want PBS, Social Security and the Smithsonian.

I do understand that Biden’s inner circle covered up his decline. Got it. What I don’t understand is the same journalists and pundits pounding that story are ignoring this psychopath like it’s normal. I accepted Biden was old all along. I can’t accept this lunatic leading us.

Every year on Memorial Day, I share this video of French caretakers who take sand from Omaha Beach in Normandy, and scrub them into the letters to give them the gold coloring. They do this for all 9,386 US soldiers who died. France also gave us this land as American soil.
