"I'm not advocating f-" Well I am. I think it should happen to all CEOs actually, effective immediately. The other wealth hoarders can go too while we're at it. And pigs, we don't weep for traitors/executioners. Complacency in the face of violence is only an option when you can afford to look away.

I have a friend who really wants to leave the country now and he's not considering the UK because working for the NHS would be such a massive pay cut but good to know that some in the UK want to make the NHS even worse.

Grandpa definitely needs to go back to the home now, if he's being told mail-ballots are 'dangerous'. Also, isn't he supposed to be the President? www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...

Having a discussion on testing "hygiene products" with actual blood over tinted water, and one of the girls said "Hey, step away from your penis for a little bit and think, maybe?" She followed that up with "You HAVE a dick, just don't BE a dick." I mean...she's not wrong. :D

When a disabled person asks for an accommodation, the response shouldn't be: You'll need to - Meet with us for multiple unnecessary discussions. - Run an advocacy campaign. - Join a committee. - Promote it for us and ensure it's popular. Quit putting unpaid labour on us. Just do the thing.

SO glad to see Trump’s head exploding today because a Governor from Maine stood up to his bull. I have issues with Gov. Janet Mills for her obstinacy on Indigenous sovereignty. But I applaud women who get to “be in the room” and clap back at his toxic, thin veneer of royal craptocracy. Dirigo! ❤️🌈

And we got finger-wagged by a New England journo "expert" for not staying in our lane and sticking to our knitting (his words) and leaving hard stuff to (paywalled) NYT and Wapo. So we were right, and we did the right thing, and we didn't need anyone's permission to make our own news decisions.

The firings from the CDC and FDA are devastating. Just looking at how they gutted the medical device review part of the FDA. We already have an issue with medical devices not being appropriately scrutinized. Will we be able to trust any new devices going forward?
