A problem with praising RFK Jr "for being right" is that he's a eugenicist out to murder disabled Americans to purify the gene pool as a result, any marginally not-awful statement he makes will not just be walked back, but will be torpedo'd inside of 3 business days. meanwhile, you've praised him

How was your day? I listened to Joan Baez sing Imagine to 36,000 people and tell us all how this moment in time is more important than Woodstock.

Trump just denied North Carolina’s request for FEMA relief from Hurricane Helene, calling it “unwarranted.”

The only way to interpret this is that the Trump administration is trying to close public schools. Which has been an open goal of conservatives for decades. They want to privatize education to resegregate on race and gender. And to ensure some people can’t access education at all.

AOC: We must acknowledge the terrifying moment we are in right now. What we are hearing and seeing with our own eyes is, in fact, happening. We are watching our neighbors, students, and friends being fired, targeted, and disappeared. It is real.

Trump: Rips legal residents away from their families and sends them away to torture camps. Bill Maher: Well, he's always been nice to me so...

The thing I’ve always thought about Bill Maher is that goddamn he’s one ugly dude

Bill Maher saying the fact that he met and had a *nice" conversation with Trump doesn't mean he's gone all MAGA before introducing tonight's guest...Steve Bannon. You can't make this shit up

Bill Maher can go eff himself.

Some horrifying details on the white supremacist book purge at the Naval Academy library: www.nytimes.com/2025/04/11/u...

A president who has the power to send an innocent human being to a foreign concentration camp, but claims he lacks the power to bring them back, is committing the crime of false imprisonment.

AOC: How can anyone possibly make an objective vote on healthcare, energy, or war when their personal wealth is tied up in pharmaceutical, oil and gas, or defense company stock?

Which article aged better? The one on the free site? Or the one with paid subscribers? @gorskon.bsky.social has my vote.

The dream is dead

THREAD: Some folks have asked why Donald doesn’t just pick up the phone and bring Abrego Garcia back. Besides the cruelty, what’s the point of defying the lower court’s order? Basically, he wants to see if he can get away with it. 1/

Ah, America. You were good for a while.

Oh good, it’s been almost two weeks since I’ve seen coverage of the bonneted baby maker, I was getting worried.

Imagine the TDS accusations against anyone who might have predicted something like this 6 months ago.

Thank you so much Norway 🏳️‍🌈🌈🏳️‍⚧️🫶🏼🥰

This is the worst season ever of The White POTUS

72M Americans rely on Medicaid. 41% of US births are paid for by Medicaid. Medicaid is nursing home care primary payer, affecting patients & their adult children. Estimated 36M could lose healthcare coverage as a result of the Republican bill. Protest! app.sosha.ai/s/9QPU2czj

🚨BREAKING NEWS: IN UNPRECEDENTED MOVE DONALD TRUMP TAKES BLAME FOR CATASTROPHIC TARIFF DEBACLE🚨 “I don’t blame China for happened. I blame the people sitting right at this desk for being stupid, incompetent or not having courage.”

RFK Jr. says through the magic of MAHA that “we will know by September” what causes autism, when he has already determined the conclusion—the deadly, long-debunked lie that vaccines are responsible. The Secretary of AHA has a plan to kill your kids. www.mind-war.com/p/we-will-kn...

Through DOGE, Elon Musk has already managed to largely disable the Social Security system, but now he wants to shut down regional service & make the elderly log into X to get information. He wants to kill undesirables. It’s Soylent Green except for rockets. www.mind-war.com/p/turning-gr...

An order by #SecDrunk Hegseth’s office resulted in a purge of books critical of racism but preserved volumes defending white power Gone is “I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings” by Maya Angelou chronicling struggles w/racism & trauma. Two copies of “Mein Kampf” by Adolf Hitler is still on the shelf.

The 🍊💩 stain has ruined our economy and really everything that makes America great.

Americans will die because of this man, a few probably alreadhave

Are we sure this isn’t part of an RFK Jr plan to add poop to butter?

Update: I just listened to the audio of this. Trump: “If the Supreme Court said bring somebody back, I would do that. I respect the Supreme Court.” Reporter: And the lower court as well…? Trump: “Oh no, no. I’m not talking about the lower court. I have great respect for the Supreme Court.”

This seems right, and all of this is WRONG.
