Cutting Medicaid funding means innocent people will die. Republicans RIGHT NOW are scheming to take away healthcare from millions of Americans including children, the disabled and the elderly, all to pay for tax cuts for corporations and the rich. Call your Representatives TODAY: 202-224-3121

Anti-DEI is your racist friends and neighbors trying to make segregation a thing again, pass it on

Wanna own one of my books? It is legal to do so and possibly enjoyable! It's a review of all things science from the perspective of a weirdo creationist. Kindle version available here: https://t.co/fjwD9Y2SFy

The government censoring scientists is horrific. But what is even more horrific is that many non-government scientists and institutions are self-censoring themselves because they are scared of the government and losing funding. Authoritarianism wins when we comply in advance!

Yep, or actively hate and oppose the idea of rights for everyone. They'll come for all of us eventually and to varying degrees; throwing various groups and rights under the bus doesn't help us.

"stop asking for too much, you're scaring potential voters" if wanting people to be treated as equal humans is asking for too much what good is your party anyways

Trump Claims He Can Overrule Constitution With Executive Order Because Of Little-Known ‘No One Will Stop Me’ Loophole theonion.com/trump-c...

Sorry to be earnest, but yeah, we cis leftists absolutely have to shut down the idea that struggles around identity aren't part of class politics. Trans workers are workers. Black workers are workers. Female workers are workers. And their oppression is a barrier to everyone's freedom.

Because I'm kinda proud of myself doing cooking and food prep for healthier eating of stuff I can actually like, I felt like sharing this veggie side concoction.

capitalism filters the most short-sighted and cruel members of society to the positions of greatest power, those qualities being necessary for prioritizing short-term shareholder value over less important things like the planet not going on fire

I don't know if this is an autistic-brain thing, but one of the thing that really freaks me out about the current reality is that I really deeply and fundamentally don't understand why anyone would ever choose cruelty over problem-solving.

Elon Musk: Why isn’t there enough water in California? Grok (burning through an entire lake to generate an answer): Wokeness

Loving the reposts and likes! It would be even cooler if folks read this. You think you "know" what it says, but I've been researching this topic for years and have analysis that goes deeper.

No one wants to hang out with me anymore ever since I got a bad personality and became evil

BlueSky is trying to monetize so let's show them some numbers: Reskeet this if you refuse to pay for BlueSky+ until trust & safety decides to prioritize marginalized users. That's $96 / year of lost revenue for each reskeet...

“Scientists don’t know everything and have sometimes been wrong before” Does not mean “random nonsense you just thought of is as likely to be correct as something overwhelmingly endorsed by experts and supported by evidence and should be treated with as much respect.”

People have very justified hatred toward insurance company CEOs because these executives are responsible for an unfathomable amount of death and suffering. As someone against death and suffering, I think it’s good to call out this broken system and the ppl in power who enable it.

If you're talking about COVID in just the past tense, you're doing it wrong.

It’s all part of the same fight. 👇🏻 They keep us playing whack-a-mole but it’s really ONE issue.

Seeing some takes that are like "Rufo isn't an evil genius" and like one of the biggest things people are going to have to understand about the coming years is that wielding power and harming others rarely requires cleverness or intelligence to do.

Masks should be mandatory in all clinical settings just IN GENERAL and that medical staff opt not to is wild to me U literally work in the germ factory

Do not normalize Trump's dangerously unqualified nominees. Normalizing charlatans kills people.

even if it weren’t the case that attacks on trans women hurt others, defending trans women from these attacks would still be the right thing to do but if that doesn’t motivate you for some reason:

If we listened to this Pod Save America host we would have rejected women’s suffrage and the civil rights movement

RWers maintain a lot of their sense of self in being 'normal' and 'reasonable', and the further right you go it seems the more obsessed you become with idealized images. Perfection that isn't achievable. So (for most) the biggest weakness is reckoning with the oddness of their habits.
