Wake up Democrats (I'm looking at you, 'leader' @schumer.senate.gov), It's a fucking coup!!!! Do something!!! wapo.st/41qBKwR

Side note. There are eight members of the joint chiefs. the chair is black. the CNO (navy) is a woman. the other six are white guys. chair and the cno got fired tonight.

Trump’s threat of mass firing of roughly 5,000 employees across HHS agencies this week appeared sloppy and haphazard, with Kennedy and other officials backpedaling on multiple occasions after it became clear that firing thousands of workers would imperil critical programs.

Measles are contagious. Measles cause 1 in 4 people to be hospitalized. Measles can be deadly especially in children. Measles can cause blindness & deafness. Measles can cause brain damage yrs later. Measles can cause "immune amnesia". Measles are preventable with MMR vaccine. #medsky #IDsky 🛟 😷🧪

Hey Northeast friends! Please take this survey so those of us that live here can have the loudest voice about this incredibly dangerous intersection. Do you, like me, avoid walking or biking here? I even tend to avoid it by car.

ahhhh. and this is how he would “control” postal service, but most importantly, mail in ballots. gift article: wapo.st/4309Ysp

Others have remarked on this but the resurgence of the R word across the political spectrum is really wild? Like did I miss a memo about this? I expect it from some people but from others, you really can't come up with a better and more interesting way to describe people you don't like?

Lol

Wrote about how easy it is to claim you saved taxpayers billions when you just make shit up. But also how this is the Twitter Files all over again. The dumbest people don't know what they're looking at so it must be a conspiracy www.techdirt.com/2025/02/19/i...

Some Latino business owners say customers have been staying away out of fear of being detained and deported. Twin Cities business and city leaders are encouraging people to buy from Latino-owned shops this Saturday.

Brave individuals can get attention & make a difference. Someone should tell the Democrats.

“This is truly a national tragedy and one that is being executed by people who do not understand the value of scientific research.” 🧪 from @science.org

I mean, duh?

Perfect shitpost 10/10

A lot of locals were very surprised to get the notice from the senior center that they just lost a huge chunk of their meals on wheels funding. As this shit starts hitting people closer to home it’s going to be pretty radicalizing! I had a lot of raging grannies (complimentary) blowing up my phone.

The White House is posting literal fascist video of the deportations with gleeful comments from the official account. You are not going crazy they are Nazis and they are dancing at the the opportunity to murder anyone they want with impunity they are posting the cattle cars for clicks.

She just murdered Florida Man

Proof that Canada loves Minnesota and just wants to give us a hug.

I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what Trump did.

The United States as we know it is collapsing, which is bad enough, but what’s almost worse is the way that the leaders who are supposed to raising hell are absolutely convinced they can win by pretending it isn’t happening

The new constitution needs to send Mr. Beast to a camp on the moon.

As a political scientist who studies countries that managed to stop the slide into authoritarianism, I can assure you that ***refraining from provoking the authoritarian*** is not how it works. Without further ado, I will now go tear out another chunk of hair.

Can media start calling this what it is? Purging and erasure of Black people. Period, end of sentence. Just because Republicans call it an acronym doesn’t change what it actually is

The news reporting the torture and murder of Sam Nordquist separate from the government effort to erase trans people from existence is actually appalling. It’d be like reporting Ricki Lake’s house randomly burned down without mentioning the California wildfires

The number of states requiring Covid vaccination for school attendance: 0

Missouri's AG Andrew Bailey is suing Starbucks, arguing that its workforce is too "female" and "non-white" and as a result Missouri consumers “pay higher prices and wait longer for goods and services" because its workforce is "less qualified" This is a brazenly racist and sexist lawsuit.
