Think we’ve forgotten about the time that Elon was booed so badly by fans of Dave Chapelle (of all people) that he locked himself in his office and Twitter employees considered calling the cops to do a wellness check. What I’m saying is we can go harder.

Trump claimed the Biden administration spent $8 million "making mice transgender." The White House tried to back up this number with records of funding for research into cancer, asthma, and HIV, some of which used transgenic (genetically modified) mice.

Ronald Reagan murdered thousands of his own people. His legacy has killed hundreds of thousands, if not millions more.. He should be remembered alongside the other monsters of history. "Feel it, motherfuckers"

The fact that “neutral” pundits continue to carry water for the lie that a majority of Americans support what is happening to trans people is further evidence that “neutrality” isn’t journalism at all. It’s not holding power to account. It’s reinforcing power and repeating propaganda

It's not that they are incapable imo, it's that they just don't want to. There are too many elected Democrats who are beholden to interests that require them to continue to support the status quo which benefits the rich.

Of note: Gavin Newsom just issued a major return to office order for California state empoyees. These kinds of mandates hurt ALL workers and, ultimately, their workplaces as well by pushing great people to resign.

Public health urging people not to hold “measles parties” This is what years of covid minimization & pro-infection policies has caused. We now think the way to health is to get infected. Kids with measles used to be locked in closets to protect them from sunlight AND to protect other children.

“If covid were that bad we would see an increase in other diseases” How many of us heard this when trying to educate on the immune damaging potential of Covid? It’s been 5 years & we’ve got outbreaks of TB & measles. The worst flu season in over a decade. Can we talk about how bad Covid is now?

old Soviet joke for our times: Guy stops by the newsstand every day, scans the front page, doesn’t buy the paper. One day the vendor asks what he’s up to. Guy says: “looking for an obituary.” Vendor says “those are towards the back of the paper, comrade.” Guy says: “not the one I’m looking for.”
