Here's something everybody should be paying attention to: Congressional Republicans are trying to weaken the Affordable Care Act and put millions of people at risk of losing their health care. Call your Senators and tell them we can't let that happen.

Something spicy & delicious as a taco has gotten under Trumplestiltkin's thin tangerine skin. Seems the master of mean, juvenile nicknames can dish them out but when directed towards him, he can't take it, angrily calling it "nasty."🤣 Good to know. (you know what to do!) 🌮🌮 🌮🌮 🌮🌮 🌮🌮 🌮🌮 🌮🌮 🌮🌮 🌮🌮 🌮

Hi this is leftover crab. He’s doing his part by eating his leftovers and also his roommates leftovers. Leftover crab doesn’t let any food go to waste. As a crab, that’s in his nature, but it could be your nature too.

Evasion of peer review is a hallmark of pseudoscience. But even more insidious is the obviation of scientific scrutiny by publishing in pseudoscientific journals that exist to provide an illusion of scientific legitimacy. There’s nothing new about MAHA’s propaganda tactics.

It's #TrilobiteTuesday! Large Paradoxides trilobites—some over 12 in (30.5 cm) long—like this specimen are frequently found amid treacherous sea-side cliffs in Wales, making their collection nearly impossible.

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security. Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations. Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

RFK Jr. is reportedly going to forbid government scientists from publishing in the world’s most respected medical journals — the Lancet, The New England Journal of Medicine, JAMA, etc. It’s going to take decades to repair the damage done by this administration.

Since I speak fluent Trump, let me explain this. Trump announced his Golden Dome thing without checking with Canada. He can’t do it without Canada’s cooperation. Now Canada is using it as leverage in trade negotiations. So dumbass Trump is clowning to find a way to make it work.

Say no to the golden handcuffs. This is a multibillion scam that will force Canada further into the military "protection" of the authoritarian regime in Washington. It is about making us a vassal state. We need to put the protection of our interests as top priority for military investments.
