Seriously, why is RFK Jr worried about dyes in food when his department is cutting safety standards for milk and chicken?

Everyone paying attention here, folks? Safety inspections of milk doesn't sounds like waste or fat to me. WTF?

If Jesus had focused more on kitchen table issues and less on unpopular outcasts like lepers and prostitutes, he might have won more support from white working-class Judeans.

NEW: In a landmark ruling, Michigan's supreme court has struck down mandatory life without parole sentences for youth up to age 21. What this means: Nearly 600 Michiganders who expected to die in prison will now get a shot at a different outcome. I took a few days to write about what's next:

COVID didn't "turn out fine." Over 1 million people died in just the US. People are still dying. 100s of thousands of people are still dealing with the effects of Long COVID. And the entire country lost its shit and is still unwell. Tariffs will not "turn out fine." Effects will be experienced.

From big cities to small towns, postal workers organized hundreds of rallies across the country in the past week to defend a beloved public service—and the nation’s largest union employer—against privatization and DOGE attacks. Our editor Al Bradbury reports: labornotes.org/2025/03/post...

Saw a post on TikTok about Columbia taking away degrees backfiring, and it made me realize - taking Degrees is way as punishment demonstrates how these institutions believe that their mission is conferring privilege and not providing education.

I'm shocked, shocked to discover the Dem leadership is ineffective, self-interested, and willing to sell democracy to the highest bidder. It's not "what can we do to stop the fascists," it's "how can we cash in before the whole system collapses under the weight of our own incompetence?"

The people running our economy have never woken up the the middle of the night worried about a medical bill, never thought twice about the price of something, never bought their own groceries, never lost pay sitting in the pediatrician's office...This is a "let them eat cake" level of disconnect.

Laws restricting mask wearing are ridiculous. What also jumps out at me from this article is the fuckwit who wishes death on someone with cancer because maybe she'd rather die a month from now instead of today. I bet a dollar that person thinks he's a good Christian, and he'd say he's "pro-life."

9,000 grocery workers in Minnesota had their contracts expire in early March, and 7,000 of them are in coordinated bargaining. They're demanding better staffing so that they're not constantly overstretched and exhausted, secure retirement, solid healthcare, and fair wages. My latest.

We need a party of fighters who won't be bought and who aren't lazy-ass, never-retire, pocket-lining centrists who won't make a move without advice from milk-toast consultants & their biased polls. We need a party of rhetors and activists, a party by and for the vulnerable.

This is why I messaged ActBlue yesterday & then deleted my account. They care only about fundraising, so I'm out! I'll use the post office to send checks to liberals who will actually do something. The Dems won't stop Trump and Musk, so use the word "STOP" to unsubscribe to their fundraising texts.

I genuinely can’t get over this. Imagine serving your country through a brutal war only to have your memory DELETED by some boer piece of human filth, the richest man on earth, because his fragile ego collapses if we admit black people have contributed to America

The GOP's goal is to privatize most services so we all pay more for much, much less. Other services we rely on they'll just burn to the ground to show their painfully stupid voters how committed they are to "saving" money.

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

If you want to know what you can do for Long Covid Awareness Day—mask! Masking is a visible sign of solidarity with Long Covid sufferers, prevents the reinfection of sufferers, and prevents you from becoming a sufferer. Best yet—keep masking even after Long Covid Awareness Day!

To everyone criticizing Dems: Democratic leadership stumbled onto a bit of leverage and it made them stressed out and nauseous. Do you know what it’s like to be nauseous at work? These people have children, and dogs. I know you wanted them to fight for democracy, but they’re tiny little beans ok

Sent ActBlue a message and then DELETED MY ACCOUNT! Chuck Schumer isn't taking our calls, and he wouldn't listen to those calls if he was, so this seemed like the best/only way to let him and the Dem leadership know how I feel. #senatorschumer secure.actblue.com

This is it for me and the democratic party--the only party I've ever supported, the only party my family has ever supported--these worthless, spineless cowards are only too happy to bend the knee to the fascists. Chuck Schumer is a worthless, spineless piece of garbage.

@schumer.senate.gov If you vote for cloture you are a stain on this country’s history that will never go away. You are willingly passing power to a tyrant in waiting, and you are a disgrace to every oath of office any senator has ever sworn. Your legacy will be one of cowardice and contempt.

And honestly, as someone busy trying to teach people how to teach school, I should NOT be thinking about political shit beyond how best to teach people how to read, write, and think. I am tired of this. I have been a loyal Democrat for 25 years... Dems, do your jobs!

Yo @durbin.senate.gov, no one is picking up your Senate phone and you don’t even have a voicemail. Vote no on cloture and the spending bill or I will do whatever it takes to make sure the next Senator from Illinois has basic constituent services set up during business hours.
