It’s finally infrastructure week, now that Biden and the Democrats did the infrastructure bill!

“250 million bees are now loose.” A tractor-trailer carrying 70,000 pounds of pollinator hives rolled over on a country road in Washington State on Friday, releasing an eye-popping number of honeybees, the authorities said.

The crazy is strong tonight

That would be awful. Don’t share this.

Harvard president receives standing ovation during commencement.

Let’s not forget: He picked these judges via Leonard Leo and the Federalist Society. And now when they uphold the law instead of sucking up to him, he’s crying “destroyed presidency.” That’s what losing looks like when you’ve rigged the game but still can’t win. 🤦🏻‍♀️

A federal grand jury indicted a former New Hampshire businessman this week on charges that he orchestrated attacks on the homes of journalists who had investigated claims of sexual misconduct against him.

This week gave us a crystalline view of the buffoons who hold our lives in their hands. RFKjr is trying to provoke an international incident over 400 disease riddled ostriches and his wingman Mehmet Oz wants to import the birds because we don’t have enough bird flu stateside.

Yea it is.

Apparently states’ rights stop the moment women board a plane with autonomy in their carry-on.

Andry left Venezuela for the US, dreaming of a career in cosmetics. Instead, he was mistakenly deported to a Salvadoran prison, where he still languishes.

Marco Rubio just announced that the U.S. will deny visas to foreign officials who try to hold social media companies accountable for disinformation—even if that disinformation incites violence or undermines democracy. 🚨 So now protecting the public from lies is grounds for punishment?

RIP Hot Lips. Loretta Swit did a wonderful Job as Major Houlihan on MASH one of my favorite characters! Always will think about the time she shot her Foot Locker in order to get a Replacement #MASH #ClassicMASH

You have your assignment. 😉

Next time someone in Congress glibly dismisses your need for healthcare, remember that they have some of the best healthcare in the country. And it was paid for by YOU.

Iowa constituent: "People will die" because of Republicans' cuts to Medicaid. Joni Ernst: "Well, we all are going to die." Holy shit. This chick needs to be sent back to castrating hogs. Nathan Sage, a Marine mechanic raised in a trailer park, is the candidate to do it. And we can help him!!

I really thought this flower was beautiful and that bee was a sticker! Just wouldn’t buzz off 😂 Couldn’t get 1 pic without him in it! #Photography #Flowers #Springfling

Finland. Our planet is rare and beautiful.

Happy crows 🐦‍⬛

here in the deep blue state of Colorado, our Democratic governor just vetoed legislation to limit algorithmic price-fixing schemes that help landlords rip off renters

No woman would or should willingly allow a small group of men in masks to accost them into an unmarked vehicle under the guise of "law enforcement." Men have no idea the fear women have been raised with of this exact situation. Don't let it happen to someone else in front of you, either.

Busting up big corporations and tackling Wall Street’s greed. Getting big money out of politics.  Strengthening unions and fighting for higher wages. Medicare for all, paid leave, universal childcare... This is the progressive populist agenda we need in America.

Raskin: This is a gangster state. This is not basically a legitimate government that is sometimes doing corrupt things. This is an essentially corrupt enterprise. It's like watching The Sopranos. Every day, they get up and they try to figure out how to plunder and pillage the people

I don't know if there is a more appropriate goodbye to Loretta Swit, than her last scene in MASH in the series finale. Loretta won two Emmy's for her role as Major Houlihan.

Is it just the ones who are inside someone’s womb? Asking for a friend. FFS.

😡😡

Systemic protections and guardrails are essential to a functioning society. Nature understands this even if oligarchs don't.

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

This‼️

If only they could speak human

Hey Savanah, vete a la mierda! 🖕

GOP Rep. Mike Flood faced loud yells from his constituents after admitting at a town hall that he hadn’t read parts of Trump’s budget bill that would make it easier for the government to defy court orders. “I am not going to hide the truth, this provision was unknown to me when I voted for that.”

You just know he's going to blow it all on squeaky toys & catnip.

Narrator: They are not considering the offer.

"Why attack universities? Why attack journalism? Because ignorance works for power ... With that done, power can rewrite history with grotesque, false narratives. They can make criminals heroes and heroes criminals." trib.al/oyBvPkF

Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said that he could bar government scientists from publishing in the world’s leading medical journals, instead proposing the creation of “in-house” publications by his agency.

RFK Jr. is reportedly going to forbid government scientists from publishing in the world’s most respected medical journals — the Lancet, The New England Journal of Medicine, JAMA, etc. It’s going to take decades to repair the damage done by this administration.

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
