If this person sat next to you on a bus or train and started ranting about Bruce Springsteen in this way, you would get up and move to a different seat. In the United States, we have him the nuclear codes.

Oh dear Donald, such a fragile ego you have.

An easy sitting target - the move no doubt intended to put fear into other people.

Hi, it's me, a younger scientist, not feeling supported

What do we know about the GOP tax cut for billionaires? Hardworking Americans pay for this extreme give away to GOP billionaire donors! GOP is cutting Medicaid & food assistance to pay for billionaire tax breaks! Millions of Americans will have higher costs & lose health care! #DontMessWithMedicaid

Nothing to see here except cadet Bone Spurs talking to the dictator who had a journalist sawed into pieces talking to the guy who bought the US election, talking to a guy that owns big shares of X. Totally normal. #USDemocracy

"You are not refugees. You are just a case study of white flight dressed up as martyrdom. You are not escaping violence, you're escaping equality."

“I worked out a big beautiful deal. Qatar gave me a plane to use and I get to keep if if I ever decide to leave office.” - Klepto RICO

It’s a violation of the constitution readsludge.com/2025/05/12/f...

Ha, ha, ha...

So many layers of corruption.

Quatar said "What? we didn't say that at all, it's just a temporary loan"

Bribery in plain sight.

Speak Truth to Power...

The foreign emoluments clause was written to prevent exactly this. Blatantly unconstitutional

I could be wrong but I think that is an HPV test rather than a pap smear. We had a trial here in Canada a couple of years ago.

This is what ICE does: just like they stalked the family’s car and smashed the windows in to kidnap them. They attack people on the streets grab them and take them to concentration camps. Entire neighborhoods gather to protect little babies & their moms from being separated & kidnapped.

ICE agents *know* what they are doing is probably illegal, which is why they try to conceal their identities with scarves and sunglasses. #AmericanGestapo

This absolutely would've backfired (and did). But it's also easy to understand why they don't realize why it would backfire. These people don't believe in anything and think nobody else believes in anything either. But the cardinals are men of God and they believe in God.

And the likelihood of that happening is?

Mexico has sued Google for changing the Gulf of Mexico’s name to “Gulf of America” for Google Maps users in the United States, Mexican president Claudia Sheinbaum said on Friday.

If I tried that I'd be in jail. I guess there are no consequences if you are rich enough.

Not just immigration!

Absolute fact! 👇👇👇

I think that's probably the whole idea.

I guess they just don't know wheat a 'memorandum of understanding' is lol.

I'm right there with you.

I’ll bet you ten bucks that — at this very moment — Trump is trying to come up with some way to take credit for the first American Pope. ✝️ 🇺🇸

I’m not a social media influencer Surgeon General but this seems not good.

Agreed. I believe it's just a 'memorandum of understanding'. Just trump trying to effect capitulation from all.

"The end result here is most likely exactly what they want: a science-challenged, bureaucratically hamstrung EPA, largely incapable of developing regulations but more than ready to attempt to roll existing regs back, 'unleashing' corporate America back to its glory days of smog, soot, and ruin."

MERKLEY: Are you gonna launch an investigation of the reported violation of the due process of several hundred people? P: It is not for me to call the balls & strikes M: You haven't read the Constitution? It says 'all persons'...it concerns me you're not familiar w/the core concept of due process

Fact :

Dear Keir Starmer, give a bully an inch and they will take a mile. Your bully does not want a mutually beneficial trade agreement, he wants complete capitulation. Once he believes he has that the demands will not go down, they will increase exponentially!

Supreme Court .....DO YOUR FRIGGIN JOB so lower courts dont have to do it all the time.......Great Job Judge Murphy.....👏👏👏

Anti-vax imbeciles along with the worm brain running the HHS have successfully brought measles back.

BILL GATES: “The picture of the world’s richest man killing the world’s poorest children is not a pretty one.” @financialtimes.com www.ft.com/content/bdd9...

Sickening - what the heck is wrong with that man. EVERYBODY knows that giving in to a bully just emboldens them even more and results in bigger demands!

When Pete Buttigieg came out of nowhere (at least for a lot of people) he was just a guy with a funny name. But now he's known as one of our most clear thinking, truth speaking, intelligent and also a very good, person that we have in the public eye. He's right. We need to show the alternative.

Attacks on secularism threaten liberal democracy. @andrewcopson.bsky.social writes about the upcoming St Isidore vs Oklahoma US Supreme Court and what it could mean for American secularism and the values of liberal democracy around the world. humanists.uk/2025/05/07/f...

Chicago is on to something.

The overwhelming majority of jobs at the two biggest companies in America pay less than $20/hr. Meanwhile, the heads of those companies are some of the richest people on the planet. See the problem?

Linda McMahon, Secretary of Education, sent Harvard a letter. They graded it. Bwahahaha.

Good, he should actually be in prison for illegally accessing sensitive data and personal info. I hope he’s shamed and shunned forever. FAFO.
