I love how finding out the head of HHS doesn't believe in germs isn't the craziest part of that fucking sentence

just listened to a chunk of this interview and in addition to radiating hitler particles this keeperman guy is a dumbass with mommy issues (many such cases)

Honestly this is just incredible content.

It's. A. Cult.

“Children will be taught not to bully me. Children will be taught that I have a completely normal size and shape of head. Children will be taught not to say I look like if Pinocchio was made by Heinrich Himmler.”

I get weary of being told how scary our crime-riddled cities are when it’s always been kind of the opposite 😬

A couple weeks ago, I wrote that the MAHA movement does not want to eliminate chronic illness- it wants to eliminate the chronically ill. Since then, RFK Jr’s actions and statements have only reinforced my belief that his HHS will target disabled and sick ppl. www.thegauntlet.news/p/rfk-jrs-ma...

I now believe that some of my problems in later life are due to food dye in the heroin I was consuming for 20 years. by Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.

Can we maybe start by impeaching this motherfucker

Americans really do grossly underestimate what a difference “walking everywhere” makes when they travel like yeah the walking is the reason you lost weight while eating bread in Italy, it’s not because Italian bread is imbued with magical nonna sprinkles that give it fewer calories

Happy 80th anniversary of Hitler killing himself in his bunker to all who celebrate, which, as I now understand it, is not everybody

Your kids get a max of two toys and then grow up to work in the same factory as their father and grandfather screwing in tiny screws. It’s called The American Dream.

This exchange is so very telling. Trump repeatedly claims the photoshopped MS-13 on Kilmar Abrego Garcia's knuckles is real, Terry Moran keeps telling him it isn't, prompting Trump to say this: "I never heard of you. I picked you. You’re not being very nice. He had MS-13 tattooed... Just say yes!"

Woman from Haiti died in ICE custody at a for-profit immigration detention center owner by GEO Group 👇

With CBC now having called all ridings it's time for the land-vs-people-vote animation.

Consumer confidence is dropping faster than my standards at 2 a.m. on a Friday night.

This, from a woman in Oklahoma talking to her local news station, is better than the vast majority of political speeches you'll hear today.

Dear god let this man cook.

It's pretty funny that Trump has engineered a geo-political game of chicken between two societies - the US and China - where the winner will be the society most willing to withstand economic pain and inconveience in furtherance of some future national collective goal. Not really a US strong suit!

The "moderate" position of only $500 billion in cuts to health care to fund tax cuts for the ultra-rich.

they're building the camps. they're telling mainstream reporters they'll invoke the insurrection act to use military assets to effect arrests once they've built the camps. it's all happening here, right now.

Please highlight this story. ICE stormed into the wrong house, trashed the place, and made women/girls stand outside in the rain in their underwear. ICE also stole phones, laptops, and cash savings from the family, who moved to OKC two weeks ago. kfor.com/news/local/w...

Labour MP asks for the prime minister to regulate who is allowed to play at Glastonbury festival based on their level of support for Israel.

The guy who claimed Indigenous bands “asked for” residential schools has a seat in Parliament. Ugh

1. Clay Jackson, a Texas lawyer, provided basic legal advice to an immigrant family fearing deportation Then, two officers visited him at his home, accusing him of "obstructing an ongoing immigration investigation" Then, after speaking publicly, he was fired from his job at a Fortune 500 company

So you’re saying we could solve all the financial problems of 379 million of us and impact just 19 households. What an interesting fact. Fun little bit of trivia.

Freedom = options. Getting to choose between walking, cycling, taking transit, or paying a lousy $9 to drive an SUV into Manhattan is about as free as most Americans can hope to be as far as transportation goes.

Eat shit, fascist Milhouse. Eat shit.

The fan mail has just been rolling in today.

“For decades, MS-13 thugs have identified themselves by wearing black gowns and carrying around wooden hammers with which they could enact their sick sense of gangland justice,” said FBI director Kash Patel theonion.com/fbi-cla...

White House says Amazon's decision to desplay tariff-based price increases on products is a "a hostile and political act by Amazon," who they accuse of working with "a Chinese propaganda arm."

What a picture.

Canadian Voter: I think who I voted for would be the best to take care of Trump, because Trump is, I’m sorry to say, an asshole.

Funny how after Pelosi did everything she could to stifle AOC, now the guy she shoved in front of her has resigned, and AOC is more powerful than Pelosi can imagine.

So it’s an executive order that implements a police state is what you’re saying.

NEW: Per multiple sources, the National Cancer Institute’s Board of Scientific Advisors has been entirely disbanded.

NEW: State offices in Mississippi are closed to commemorate the men who died fighting the U.S. government to protect the institution of human slavery. The majority white Legislature once again killed a Black lawmakers' bill to end Confederate Memorial Day and replace it with Juneteenth Freedom Day.

hahahahahahahaha www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

Canada would like a word…

I love my echo chamber where everyone values the humanity of other people and enjoys the arts.

Before April 22, I would not have believed a Supreme Court justice would flat out lie- but as the author of the children's book in question, I can confirm that he absolutely did. Thanks @jaywillis.net for reporting on this- more people should be.

Multiple articles have been written about Bluesky being a dangerous echo chamber while the world’s richest and influential men are having their brains cooked in increasingly extremist group chats

They pushed out AOC for a 75 year old guy with cancer. 4 months in, he has to step down. AOC should be the next ranking member of the House oversight committee.

Trump post about Canada No I don't understand any of it

Left: The original headline of the NYTimes article on 11 April Right: The way that same article appears in the online NYTimes today. No idea what the story is here...but the headline rewrite is interesting.

The iron cage of fascist dictatorship is being built around us in broad daylight.
