As of today, there are more kids infected with measles than there are trans athletes playing in college sports in the U.S.

Senator Chris Murphy took to the Senate floor on Friday to break down the corruption flowing from the WH. He connects the dots, and makes a clear argument regarding who what where and why Shitler and Muskrat are destroying our govt!! This needs to be shared far and wide!! youtu.be/hycoCYenXls

I remember learning about the Irish potato famine in school, and how the tone of the textbooks was like, “that’s what happens when you rely on one crop for all your food!” And only later did I find out that the people of Ireland had been forced to send all their crops to England, and so with the

Trump's USDA is halting funds for the Local Food Purchase Assistance Program, which provides money to states, tribes and territories to procure and distribute local and regional foods. Funny way to show how much he loves his farmers! www.farmweeknow.com/policy/natio...

Explaining to centrist Dems over and over that moving right doesn't work, am I confused or was this the same group that loved Hamilton? "If you stand for nothing, Burr, what will you fall for?" is the line of the moment

The way to build hope is by creating norms for empathy, belonging and safety. Sometimes that means speaking up bc you don’t get to say that you are empathetic by tolerating toxicity.

I keep thinking about the argument I had with my 7th grade religion teacher (Catholic school) where the core of the lesson was that we're mandated to simply have faith. No argument behind why, we just have to. My autistic brain couldn't cope. I know looking back it's a core tenet of their

Crimes on crimes on crimes

An interesting turn

Unfucking believable as CDC is suddenly launching a study into exploring possible links with MMR and autism. I wonder who might have initiated this? 🤔 to be clear There is NO link and this has already been debunked in massive studies 🧪🧵

Me: oh weird they cast ray ramano in this? My partner knowing full well it's the dude from Friends: mhm ☺️

hey, can one of the reasonable centrist writers condescendingly explain to me again that it is overblown to call these people segregationists?

I realized recently I'd forgotten audible in my purge!

Civil servant source says DOGE has made agencies much less efficient: "Work has ground down to a stunning degree and management is spending a significant amount of time responding & preparing to respond to the chaos incited by the never ending barrage of EOs & accompanying memos" Many make no sense🧵

“…if you really want to proceed to censure the gentleman from TX for talking about no mandate to cut Medicaid, then certainly we're going to have to move to censure the President for using a racial & ethnic slur against a sitting US Senator." 💥⁦‪ @raskin.house.gov

We're at the "French University is offering grants to refugee scientists censored by the regime" stage of our country www.404media.co/french-unive...

"The left is losing because it is too left" motherfuckers, y'all been crawling to the right on your hands and knees for decades and all it got you is rug burns.

1. Democrats railed against an anti-trans omnibus bill in Georgia, calling it an attempt to turn the state into a theocracy. It targets trans people in every aspect of public life, and redefines the word "equal" for transgender people. Latest from S. Baum. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Important clarifications from a colleague on “transgender mice.” No, this wasn’t a simple case of mistaking “transgenic” for “transgender.” Although not “transgender mice,” the research examined the effects of hormone therapy on biology and health outcomes, relevant to transgender health. 1/2

Wait countries arrest people for that? I thought they elected them president.

Today, the House GOP censured me for speaking out for the American people against @POTUS’s plan to cut Medicaid. I accept the consequences of my actions, but I refuse to stay silent in the face of injustice. #WeShallOvercome x.com/repalgreen/s...

Land acknowledgements and respecting pronouns are not extremist concepts and the so called progressives responding to conservative attacks by dismissing them as fantastical are part of the problem

RFK Jr. managed to convince swaths of Americans that Trump would take on industrial agriculture and promote small, organic farmers Now, small, organic farmers are suing Trump for putting their operations at risk at the start of the growing season heated.world/p/organic-fa...

Two BIG wins in Motnana! We killed two anti-trans bills today (a drag ban & a bill requiring CPS to remove trans kids from parents). I'm so grateful for Montana Democrats, who have stood unwavering in their support of trans rights. And grateful to all the Republicans who said enough is enough.

Farm chicks just came in, ratings by breed:

This is genocide: - Killing members of the group - Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group - Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part Trump is committing genocide.

The US Attorney in Washington DC is investigating Georgetown Law School, demanding that "if DEI is found in your courses or teaching in anyway [sic]," the law school should "move swiftly to remove it" Federal prosecutors don’t control the classroom. This is a dark abdication of the First Amendment.

Good god

Breaking News: A federal judge extended his block on President Trump’s efforts to withhold billions in congressionally approved funds from states and said the White House put itself “above Congress.”

Freedom of speech, freedom of expression, etc.

The thing I'll always remember about Al Green is that he was the first Democrat to introduce articles of impeachment against Trump in 2017, after Comey was fired. He also argued that Trump was impeachable for his bigotry alone. This was completely out of step with most Democrats and party leaders.
