The current mayor of NYC is literally doing podcasts with violent antisemites but a socialist wins the primary and all of a sudden Jews are unsafe? Get the fuck outta here.

People in wheelchairs are getting arrested right now in the Russell Senate Office Building in DC. They showed up to tell Congress not to cut their Medicaid, because they cant afford health care without it. If you look closely you can see the zip ties on their hands. #WeWontGetOverLosingMedicaid

Imagine fearing for your family’s safety. Homan should ask the families he’s destroyed for advice.

Vaccination schedules on the CDC website have already started changing under RFK Jr. So we published a guide to the evidence-based vaccine recommendations in place *before* all 17 members of the advisory panel were abruptly dismissed by the new admin. www.scientificamerican.com/article/see-... 🧪

Dear young people, you are allowed to enjoy when horrible people lose for at least a few hours. Revel in it. Tomorrow is soon enough to start picking everything apart. lol.

BREAKING: Andrew Cuomo concedes New York City Democratic mayoral primary to Zohran Mamdani. apnews.com/article/andr...

i am simply asking the press to cover the government sending masked thugs to rip people from their crying children and shipping them to a foreign concentration camp with the same ferocity they cover a trans kid playing jv tennis in sheboygan

Amazon buying farmland, "de-watering" it to lay cable, creating energy demand double what state currently needs, getting $8 billion in tax breaks. All for whatever Anthropic's next AI model is going to be. This will never be worth the tradeoff.

More than 50,000 new people have signed up to run for office since Trump's election in November, an unprecedented spike in young Democrats interested in seeking public office for the first time, says the progressive group Run for Something. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

Our Greenway’s fairy house is getting more elaborate every day. I’ve never seen anyone add anything and no one has ever seen me. It’s all done by the fairies and it makes me so happy.

They’re going to try to make you feel insane for opposing this war. They’ll ignore protests and downplay any opposition. They’ll try to strongarm you into submission. They did it with Iraq and they’ll do it again. And then a few years later they’ll pretend they were with you all along.

No more wars.

Trump thinks 11 federal holidays out of 260 working days in a year (4%) is too much But he had no problem spending damn near 25% of his first 150 days back in office golfing Truth is... he's a racist who wants to erase Juneteenth & MLK's Birthday from the federal calendar

Trans rights are human rights. This wrong decision by an illegitimate Supreme Court* allows cis minors to get gender-affirming care, but denies that same care to trans kids — an unconstitutional double standard that treats trans people as 2nd class citizens.

1. There are almost no stable jobs for humanities professors anymore 2. Most of us at state schools with decades under our belts earn less (a lot less!) than first year business or med profs.

New in PN: Judge rules that anti-woke is just racism “'I’ve never seen a record where racial discrimination was so palpable,' Judge Young fumed. 'I’ve sat on this bench now for 40 years. I’ve never seen government racial discrimination like this.' *More of this, please*"

Melissa Hortman was only 55 years old. She had a lot more to do. It is so bitter and so sad that her life was taken - assassinated for fighting for what she believed in. It will now be up to us to carry on these fights.

So proud of our small city’s No Kings rally: peaceful, joyful, and righteous

Stupid excited for @cp25atlanta.bsky.social in just 2 weeks! Even better: talking about Chucky with @iheartfatapollo.bsky.social, Matt Boyd Smith, and Kristen Galvin! This is my favorite power point slide (which took way longer to put together than I anticipated]
