Pathetic, @nytimes.com

I will take the chicken if you also give me the vaccine to combat the bird flu.

We all need some happy dawgs

The different spellings of Zelenskyy’s last name have been bothering me for a while and so I went digging and I’m glad to see that dropping the second Y isn’t a show or signal of disrespect. www.cnn.com/2022/03/17/p...

Everyone, can y’all please spellcheck the honorable Ukrainian President’s name? Let’s stand behind him and also get his name right. Don’t drop the second Y and Americanize it. It’s Zelenskyy!

NEW: A searing editorial in the The Kyiv Independent. “It’s time to say it plainly. America’s leadership has switched sides in the war. The American people have not, and they should speak up. “A president just disrespected America in the Oval Office. It wasn’t Zelensky.” @kyivindependent.com

Science matters 🧪 this is good news!

When you lose Laura Loomer …

They just fired hundreds of FAA employees.

All probationary federal employees at NOAA’s EMC that’s responsible for keeping all US weather model systems running have been fired with 1 hours notice. And that includes me and colleagues. We will not go quietly because we care about the NOAA mission to protect the public.

I’m in.

This news truly breaks my heart. We are calling on HHS to take immediate action. Secretary Kennedy needs to bring back weekly measles tracking from the CDC, rehire the health experts, and roll out a serious vaccine campaign. Our kids' safety is on the line! abcnews.go.com/Health/1st-m...

"There is a very specific group that does have to worry about their immunity from vaccination. People born after 1957 but vaccinated before 1968. At that point in time, they were using less effective vaccines."

Hi Florida House district 6 peeps (St. Augustine to Daytona Beach): special election 4/1/25 for Congress. Here’s how many people would lose Medicaid in the district if the Repub wins: 161,874 - many are elders who will be evicted from nursing homes; would cost $2.03 billion of economic benefit to us

He’s wearing the mark of the Beast on his head.

Former Wash Post top editor Cameron Barr severs ties to the company He writes that Bezos’ revamp marks an “unacceptable erosion of its commitment to publishing a healthy diversity of opinion and opinion” www.linkedin.com/posts/camero...

So increasing the minimum wage to a livable wage is “socialism”? But Amazon union busting, keeping wages low, and forcing workers onto public assistance while its founder increases his net worth by $7.9M an hour is the "free market"? Perhaps this could be a WaPo opinion piece.

Looks like tomorrow will bring votes on a Republican plan to fund tax cuts for the rich by slashing Medicaid. So this is a great time to contact your Member of Congress.

Heyyyyy, good news!

This looks like SS behavior. This is fascism. This is unacceptable. Stand up.

REMEMBER: THIS Friday, February 28. NOT 1 PENNY SPENT. We can DO this. I'm IN, are YOU?

@chrismurphyct.bsky.social why are you not posting on here first ? You have some great things to say. You are trying some great things. Yet you post on X where 100pct of the replies are meaningless and hateful. It's not all roses here, but the engagement has depth and real convos happen

Great cover…sadly

I find it incomprehensible that so many Democratic politicians post on Twitter but NOT on Bluesky. I post on both platforms whenever possible, but I’ll post on Bluesky FIRST. I mean, WTF? 🤬

Listen to @radiofreetom.bsky.social! "Now that Trump has captured the intelligence services, the Justice Department, and the FBI, the military is the last piece he needs to establish the foundations for authoritarian control of the U.S. government."

And here we go again.

We are now finding bird flu in deer mice and house mice in Washington State. H5N1 is advancing along the evolutionary ladder—affecting birds, mammals, and humans. This is not speculation; it’s a timeline.

My patient told me today that there’s a silver lining to being old and having metastatic cancer: she’s not going to live long enough to see the aftermath of this administration. Excuse me while I go cry now.

He’s Goebbels or Himmler. Can’t decide.

Censorship. He is trying to make us sicker and dumber. Resist. Rebel.

Democratic leaders: I think it's abundantly clear at this point that simply going along to get along ain't gonna work. Trying to negotiate ain't gonna work. Being collegial ain't gonna work. What you're doing right now isn't working. Take your gloves off and punch back. Hard.

Done.
