It's not over. It's not even slowing down. Don't take your eyes or your mind off of Gaza. www.bbc.com/news/article...

If I had to reregister to vote, post SAVE Act, I'd need: a $25 copy of my birth certificate, a $5 copy of my name change, a $3 copy of my marriage license, and an $89 drivers license. OR a $165 passport. Not only is it a poll tax, it's also a pink tax.

Think first…👇 Really think about it. Don’t. Be. A. TRUNT. 😎✨

I just read something that said it hasn't even been 100 days. I checked: it has been 83 days. (But it feels like 283 days.)

It’s been lost in the tariff news but the fact that the U.S. government can accuse you of a crime and send you to an El Salvadoran prison without trial, is legitimately scarier than the most hyperbolic claims of fascism made by the left during the election.

36k people showed up in LA for Bernie and AOC’s rally. In the off year. Americans are pissed — and anyone ignoring that is making a big mistake. -Keith Edwards

As of today all foreigners in America are required to carry proof of our status with us at all times. Print off your i-94s uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?r...

Called my congressman who voted for the SAVE act. Me: What documents will I need to vote if this passes? Staffer: a DL and birth certificate. Me: The documents don’t match Staffer: Then a marriage certificate. Me: Will my husband need the marriage certificate too? Staffer: No Me: See the problem?

This includes the Mattel starter packs!!! 🤯🤪😵‍💫😤

I think the lives of people who are not “healthy” also have value

Did you know? The word “trumpery” appeared in the 15th century with the meanings “deceit” or “fraud”. 100 years later, it was being applied to objects of little or no value. Then in the 1900’s, it came to mean “showy but worthless”. — Today, it is equated with “fascist shit”.

“I never thought I was going to lose this much money this fast.”

Vaccines save lives. And no, they do not cause autism.

With the SAVE act passing through the house I would like to remind everyone that it took the Taliban only 3 years to ban women from speaking #waronwomen #SAVEact

The true cost of canning supplies should be shared often. I own all my own canning supplies and this is an investment. Please be truthful with your following. Deceit and flaunting expensive solutions is not helpful for someone on public assistance, eating from food banks, and making $15 per hour.

JUST TO CLARIFY…👇 Any Questions?!

I'm going to start saying "art of the deal" every time I do something really stupid and then start backtracking

I am begging someone to primary Mark Warner

fuckin hell you gotta hand it to him "Orange Monday" slaps

I wrote about this a bit in my last book but it really shakes me that a defining feature of this catastrophic era is that we just keep going to work. We work through pandemics, we work through natural disasters, we work through economic calamity, we work through coups, we work, we work, we work.

I just started a newsletter on Substack. I'm calling it: "History is Present" It's about how we see the world, land, time, all the good things. First though, an update: jordyyager.substack.com/p/life-updat...

Truly devastating conclusion of an essential piece by Israeli-American genocide scholar Omer Bartov. www.nybooks.com/articles/202...

🚨 Influenza B is categorized as “High" in #wastewater nationally. Influenza B is one of many pathogens that WastewaterSCAN monitors across the country. We share #wastewater data on influenza A and B, along with the H1, H3, and H5 influenza subtypes. Check levels near you: data.wastewaterscan.org

We hope to see you there!

Our biggest problem as a society is we've decided wealth is a proxy for intelligence -- when in reality, an overabundance of money causes your brain to cease functioning

Trump is next to an indicted war criminal. In almost an hour, NOT A SINGLE QUESTION from any journalist about the bombing of schools, starvation of Gazans or last week’s mass murder of paramedics by Israeli forces. If you wonder how genocide is allowed to unfold, this is how.

Measles is not trending on Bluesky. But it's quickly spreading in the US. Likely way more cases than the 600+ the CDC reported last Friday. Why do I think that? Well, measles kills on average 1 per 1000. We've seen 3 deaths. It is highly likely that we're undercounting this tightly knit community.
