I think it would make a big difference in our health if we banned Pharma ads from America like the rest of the world does.

Amen to that.

We knew no promises of reducing inflation would be meaningful/sustainable but tbh I did think at least for a minute they’d make it look like they did. Instead they’re promising secret free range bird flu. Both want chickens& don’t want chickens at the same time www.instagram.com/reel/DFTwxP9...

Just so many people thrashing around and I understand that people are disoriented. But if you know that you are lacking clear thinking right now, it's ok to just be silent and to deliberate for a few weeks.

The USAF removed Tuskegee Airmen & Women Airforce Service Pilots of WWII from basic training curriculum. For 30 years I promised these women I would not let them ever be forgotten again. We worked for decades to have them remembered. The Airmen too. Knowledge is power. 🗃️ www.msn.com/en-us/societ...

Not for nothing, two common autistic traits are hyperempathy and a heightened sense of justice.

I don’t believe one person in his cabinet that says they will respect marriage equality as settled law and leave it alone. Three Supreme Court justices said the same thing about abortion and lied.

I really don’t care what anyone else thinks. I think Joe Biden was a damn good President, and I think the Biden-Harris administration was one of the greatest in American History. Generations from now, they’ll get the respect they should have gotten during their tenure.

Pass it on. Text your friends, family, and neighbors.

"Look for the helpers." Friend, you are forty two years old. You are supposed to be the helper.

I’m so grateful that @hcrichardson.bsky.social wrote and recorded this piece about what’s been happening in N Carolina. I think it deserves way more eyes on it. I think this is going to start happening nationwide.

They should put a breathalyzer lock on Hegseth’s pentagon office door.

You can blame Garland if you want to — and I agree that he has faults — but reading through the Smith report on election interference makes one thing clear: Voter apathy saved Trump from real accountability for the first time in his life. I hope everyone who stayed home is happy.

Unpopular to say, I'm sure but individuals being overly concerned about the "scale" of their actions often get in their own way. The "scale" matters less than you ACTUALLY taking considered action. Our cumulative actions are barely perceptible to us in the present but they matter if only to us.

Merchan made it pretty clear that if Trump hadn’t won the election, this sentence would have been different. This time, voter apathy saved Trump from prison. Hope everyone who stayed home is proud of themselves.

If you dislike who we dislike but in signaling your dislike you choose to be sexist, transphobic, racist, fat shaming, or honestly any form of insulting based on physicality or other immutable characteristics, even as a """joke""", we are just gonna dislike you too. Fuck off.

If you don’t have a local library card, it should be your New Year’s resolution to get one. It’s an easy resolution to keep and you’ll actually use it, trust me.

Trump can’t legally own a firearm, but he’s about to be given the nuclear launch codes. Very normal country we have.

Biden subtweets Trump during his eulogy for Jimmy Carter

How it started. How it’s going

I will now magically predict the future: We're abuzz with Panama/Greenland/Canada nonsense right now. News cycle captured. When it comes time to actually act, suddenly there will be a new outrageous nonsense. News cycle captured. We forget. Repeat ad nauseum for 4 years.

SCOOP: Instagram blocked teens from searching LGBTQ-related content for months. Posts with LGBTQ+ hashtags were hidden under Meta's “sensitive content” policy which restricts "sexually suggestive content", Meta said they are fixing this “error” after I reached out for comment.

THREAD: In 2023, I received an envelope with no return address. Inside was a flash drive containing tens of 1000s of secret files. It came from a vigilante with a tumultuous past, who'd conducted a years-long undercover operation. He didn’t tell the FBI or his family. He only told me.

quietly passing this note to the rest of the class….

Holy Shirt Balls you guys, this is an incredible account. I don’t know what this man’s dopamine tolerance is like after this experience but it should be studied.

After the shooting, someone said a lot of the CEO’s are afraid to return to work. Read that and now think about how our school-aged kids feel!

Reminder—If the U.S. had had a single-payer universal health care system in 2020, nearly 212,000 American lives would have been saved that year. In addition, the country would have saved $105 billion in COVID-19 hospitalization expenses alone.  ysph.yale.edu/news-article...

A request for cis allies: Report and block Jesse Singal. In addition to his highly problematic history in journalism, he's now actively calling on his Twitter followers to harass trans women he disagrees with on Bluesky.

Can confirm. Do recommend.
