Curious what would happen if we think for ourselves and mind our own business. Music, cats, science, travel.

So weird how this keeps happening. www.axios.com/2025/04/02/t...

Where are the Russian tariffs?

We do realize that there's 3,000 of them and 8,000,000,000 of us, right? Right?

I did not think @Disney would be the first to throw shade. #thetimeisnow

The institutional Democratic Party is guided by an almost pathological level of conflict avoidance in almost every direction. “What can we do to make the least number of people mad?” is just a bankrupt way to operate.

@schumer.senate.gov You’re gambling with my life and the lives of my family and community, and they are not yours to gamble. I will fight for democracy but I will not fight with you bc you have decided it’s not worth it. You made yourself irrelevant. Step aside and let somebody else lead.

I’d like to ask every single New Yorker who’s remotely left of center to get actively involved in your local Democratic Party chapter with the goal of driving Schumer, Gillibrand, Hochul, Adams, Cuomo and all the other dead wood into retirement.

Strongly suggest calling Schumer’s office. Vote no.

@schumer.senate.gov why did u cave? The GOP controls the house, the Senate & the presidency. Y’all just can’t give in like this. It would’ve fallen on the Republicans not the Dems. You guys are fucking spineless. How do you think all of us out here feel who are fighting for this country? Fuck!

Call your Senator. Ask them to put Schumer in a nursing home.

@aoc.bsky.social Now is the time. You need to primary Schumer.

This!! This is a leader. #resignschumer

@schumer.senate.gov vote NO to cloture on the budget bill. If you can’t stand firm, RESIGN!

What the fuck, Schumer?

"Privately, House Democrats are so infuriated with Schumer’s decision that some have begun encouraging [AOC] to run against Schumer in a primary."

Thou shalt fire Chuck Schumer.

www.nytimes.com/2025/03/13/u... Yes, it's behind a paywall. No, I haven't read the article. This headline is fucking terrifying. It will take decades for scientific research to recover from this madness...and people all over the world will get sick(er) and/or die in the meantime.

All of the steps required for a divorce should be every reason to never get married in the first place. #JustSayNo

Commander of Andrews Air Force Base tells military personnel not to respond to Musk's "what did you do last week" email. "Your chain of command is the only source that can direct you to take specific actions -- OPM is not in your chain of command." muskwatch.com/subscribe

Yo Dems- Could you do something about the onslaught of treason and the takeover of our government? Asking for myself and some friends 🇲🇽🇨🇦🇦🇺🇬🇧🇳🇿🇯🇵🇰🇷🇪🇺🇺🇦

⚠️ Measles and long-term effects: What you need to know ⚠️ 🧵: There are multiple measles outbreaks across the country right now, so we’d like to give an overview and talk about the long-term effects, which can include severe complications or death.

PLEASE SHARE.

Whenever you hear someone sneer about scientific research that seems useless to them — “they’re studying the spit of lizards?!” — remind them that’s exactly how we got Ozempic. globalnews.ca/news/9793403...

Kendrick Lamar managed to piss off all the right people. Well done.

Never before have I so badly wanted to be a black woman.

I'm late to the party with this. I have not read it yet, but it comes highly recommended from a European friend who's pretty knowledgeable about World History. What do you think? en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_End...

Maybe this is the Universe's way of telling Americans that it's our turn to be refugees. It would be very eye-opening for many to finally see a different part of the world and learn that we are not the greatest county. Great at some things, sure. But other places do a lot more a lot better.
