Did you see this really exciting news: A team at Memorial Sloan Kettering has been working to improve those outcomes by developing a new mRNA vaccine for pancreatic cancer. Let’s just hope that RFKjr doesn’t try to ban this vaccine 🤞🏽 www.sciencefriday.com/segments/pan...

Russia launched an unprovoked full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February of 2022. Since then, thousands of Ukrainians have perished. Entire towns and cities reduced to rubble. It will take them decades to recover, if at all. For Trump to casually flip the narrative via tweet is beyond disgusting.

Today, I found out that the Department of Defense banned the Well-Read Black Girl anthology by Glory Edim. I was one of its contributors. I'm really hurt right now. So if you have it in you, please buy books by Black women from independent bookstores.

Opportunity alert: Looking for 3 reasonable Republicans in the House of Representatives to stop the tax breaks for billionaires in the “Big Beautiful Bill." Perks: Protect Americans' health care and food for kids. Be on the right side of history.

Go f* yourself. We have a constitution, and Zelenskyy is the only legitimate president until Russia stops occupying our territories. We will hold elections immediately once Russia goes to hell and leaves Ukrainian land.

Remember the days of "No one is above the law"? Seems quaintly constitutional now.

Doing great 👍

The CFPB has returned $21 billion to 205 million consumers who were scammed at the hands of predatory banks. You can root out waste, fraud, and abuse... or you can eliminate the CFPB. But you can't do both.

PLEASE SHARE.

The fact that you see how wrong this all is, means your faculties are intact, your mind is fully right, and your heart is working properly; you still have a soul doing what souls are supposed to do: keep you deeply human in profoundly inhumane times. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/dont-gasli...

Elon—the richest man on Earth—is gutting the world’s largest provider of food aid. He could end world hunger single-handedly and still be the richest man alive. But he won’t. Instead, he spent 40 million on Super Bowl ads attacking USAID! Stand with USAID: share this counter-ad…

Nazis get your swastikas before they go out of business 🤣🖕

Is this who we are? Never mind, don’t answer that. 🫤🇺🇸

The real scam: making you fear the “the other” while the rich rob you blind. I wish every American understood this.

A case of tuberculosis has been confirmed at a Michigan school. Just as the Senate considers an avowed anti-vaxxer to lead our nation’s health agencies.

If you have an encounter with an immigration enforcement agency like ICE, know your rights.

It’s pretty insane that a private citizen can come in, hijack federal government servers, fire people, and steal their PII.

Oh myyy, they are the very letter of it!

This needs to STOP 🛑 Republicans need to pull up their big boy pants and grow some balls and do the job that they were VOTED INTO OFFICE to do FOR the AMERICAN PEOPLE‼️ NOT for any president wanna be dictator 💯💥😖

Dr Mohammad Zakaria was performing surgery when Russia attacked Chornomorsk, Odesa region The blast wave shattered glass in the operating room, the surgeon was injured. He didn't pay the slightest attention to explosions and flying shards of glass but continued his surgery. 📷Oleh Kiper

Do you know why a president would do all the most evil and heinous shit via Executive Order? Because his party can't easily make it law. And if they can't make it law, they can't make it last. Don't let anyone make you feel like this is The End. Do not let them demoralize you. Live to see them die.

TikTok took it down, so let’s share the shit out of this reading list. #HolocaustRemembranceDay #NeverAgainIsNow #BookSky #StateMediaCensorship

If you're feeling overwhelmed, it's intentional. They're calling it "flooding the zone." The intent is to overwhelm and exhaust us so we can not effectively resist. Something simple you can do right now now is to make sure to take breaks and rest.

The USAF has reversed itself "after uproar." We must continue to pay attention. We must continue to preserve & share the stories of the Tuskegee Airmen & the Women Airforce Service Pilots. I promised them I would always tell their stories. You can too. Knowledge is power! www.msn.com/en-us/news/u...

Pritzker: "President Trump ought to be calling that out. If he doesn't agree with Elon Musk, if he doesn't agree with two Sieg Heils at his own rally and backing a party that backs Nazis, then he ought to say so. Why isn't Donald Trump speaking out?

Excellent post

This is exactly how I feel. It's a moment to practice radical kindness.

They shall henceforth be referred to as swasticars by me too. 😂

HELL YES: Illinois Governor JB Pritzker just SLAMMED Trump for bowing to Elon Musk: "If he doesn't agree with Elon or two Sieg Heils at his own rally and backing a party that backs Nazis, then he ought to say so. Why isn't Trump speaking out?”

HELL YES: Michael Steele delivers a genius game-plan to absolutely DERAIL the GOP. Democrats need to STOP helping Republicans. “Let them choke on (their majority).” His words were BLUNT: “Y'all need to chill on this, all this kumbaya partisan bi-partisan crap.” He added. 🔥🔥🔥

Want a great slogan for midterms? "If you FAFO and are struggling because of Trump policies, we understand. The Dems are here for you. Tell us how we can help you " You get the point. FAFO will be the theme. Be the solution.

Remember when you thought SCOTUS wouldn't overturn Roe v Wade? Well, now Idaho is asking SCOTUS to overturn Obergefell, the case that makes same-sex marriage legal www.nytimes.com/2025/01/24/u...

Donald Trump is daring us to stop him. He is daring the courts and Congress to STOP HIM. If they don’t stop him right the fuck now, they will never be able to. Congress — STAND UP. Do your fucking jobs!!!! I’m calling my pro-Ukraine Republican Rep right now.
