If you’re cheering for a South African sociopath to fuck over US military veterans then you should probably stop with that America first bullshit.

From United Humanists on FB

Just moments ago, I received this message from a female Ukrainian soldier. It made my eyes get damp. Please, every day of your life, post and express support for Ukraine, and nothing but condemnation for Putin. As you can see, our support…matters.

I think it was a one-off for "Greenery Day" on May the 4th (go with you) 2016... www.oneearth.org/the-newspape...

I will be seeing James in concert in Washington in May 📸Sam Thomas

Better not call it a “vaccine” or it might not get approved. Maybe market it as a recreational drug.

WATCH: “What are you going to do to rein in the megalomaniac in the White House?” An @reprichmccormick town hall in a red GEORGIA district erupts in cheers - then boos loudly as he tries to invoke Biden and both-sides Trump’s actions. Full video: www.instagram.com/reel/DGUf45s...

New #coronavirus with potential to cause #pandemic discovered in #China | Daily Mail www.dailymail.co.uk/health/artic...

We've come a long way from "I will lower prices on day one"

A new bat coronavirus that has the capacity to spread to humans, similar to the one that caused the COVID-19 pandemic, has been discovered by a Chinese researcher. Good thing we are completely prepared this time. www.newsweek.com/new-coronavi...

I can sense this in my community. People who were devout Trump followers have taken down their flags, removed their bumper stickers, abandoned their red hats. They’re talking to friends about how they feel duped and betrayed. They’re also talking to us, the “libs” they thought they’d owned.

😭😭😭

Some updates: 1. A federal judge extended a restraining order blocking the National Institutes of Health from cutting research funds until she rules on a permanent injunction. 2. The IRS will not allow a member of Elon Musk’s team to access individual tax returns.

You can see the two spots on Stephen Miller’s forehead where he was dehorned ...

THIS IS HUGE! Researchers at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center say results of a Phase I trial of an mRNA vaccine aimed at preventing pancreatic cancer show promise. The vaccine PREVENTED the cancer from coming back in patients who had already received treatment for MORE THAN three years. 🧪🧵⬇️

How it’s going for America’s vice president…

In which a recently demoted ex-president suffers from ‘rigger mortis’ for the umpty-billionth time…

Teachers teach. We need a leaderful movement, and there are leaders all around us.

This is really something

Mars Karen is just like Leatherface except his choice of murder weapon is second-hand embarrassment.

Mr Fox is the 3rd dog I ever started feeding in Thailand. He lived on his own in the jungle but loved all humans. His greetings were always the best. I still can’t believe when footage of him in his new home comes through…. (1/6)

If you’re ever in public while high on ketamine, this DEA pamphlet suggests you might want want to wear sunglasses, even indoors. www.dea.gov/sites/defaul...

listen to this. Elon can barely form a sentence right now.

In other news, Elmo is currently ghosting baby mama #3. This comes after ghosting baby mama #4 earlier this week🍿 But but but… they are “ThE pArTy Of FaMiLy VaLuEs”🤣

wearing sunglasses inside and following an event where he at times had a hard time speaking coherently, Elon Musk walks off the CPAC stage waving around a chain saw. this is the guy currently running our government. Congrats, America!

I appreciate everyone’s messages of support, I’m trying to get through all my mentions but as you can imagine, it’s been a bit of a busy day :) Remember - peaceful civil disobedience, and no kings, no tyrants. Not ever.

Trump is now blaming Ukraine for being invaded by Russia. This is what you get when a rapist occupies the White House.

Welp, it’s happened. The cows have come home, hell has frozen over, and we’ve stepped through the looking-glass in the manner of Alice. Let it be known that on this day, in an unfathomable turn of events, I have found myself agreeing with Steve Bannon. 🤯

🚨Senator Tammy Baldwin: "Last night, the president said 'I'm not touching Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, VA, I'm not touching them.' By this morning, he endorsed House budget resolution & paves the way for massive cuts to Medicaid." Medicaid affects 70M+ Americans. THIS WOULD BE DEVASTATING!🚨

Dark Pence is back.

Just now picking up my daughter’s Claudia’s Corgi, Gracie, from her spaying procedure from Friendship Animal Hospital in northwest DC. It turns out they are doing something amazing for people victimized by the insane government purges 👉

Jamie Raskin: "Given that I was marching at age 3, you know I’m not letting any coup-plotting, election-denying, insurrection-supplying autocrat, kleptocracy, plutocrat or theocrat, or any techno-feudalist Silicon Valley broligarchs aspiring dictator, turn me around now.” Amen!!
