I had a Dr appt this week. They now added a question to the intro (have you been out of the country, fever etc). They now also ask if you have been around anyone with measles 😢

Congrats everyone — we are at the point where The Onion and real life are indistinguishable from one another. 😳🇺🇸 theonion.com/ice-agents-w...

It was 1993 when Congress passed a law requiring women to be included in clinical medical trials. From 2019-2023, 6x more money went to studying erectile dysfunction than to study endometriosis. And don’t even ask about mental health medications… guess who was left out of those studies? 🤬

You can’t say criminals don’t deserve due process when due process is the thing that decides if they're criminals. Otherwise you're just kidnapping people you don't like.

This is only the beginning. Due process in non negotiable.

Caring about “human rights” only when an issue affects people who look like you, act like you, sound like you, earn like you, have similar health risks as you, doesn’t mean you care about human rights

My parents didn't seek a diagnosis for me, even though I was probably autistic, because I did have an IEP, the gifted and talented class. Those are gone now, so parents have to get a diagnosis to get any kind of support for their kid.

This. No shame in backing down… but only if you let someone who will stand up take your place. If you can’t take the heat, get out of the kitchen.

Dear senators who think you can’t do anything, Today, Senator Van Hollen - through diplomatic pressure - got a meeting with Abrego Garcia in El Salvador. So that thing you’re thinking about doing? DO IT. ~ All of Us

I really don’t like it when people use rape as an allegory (the country has been raped etc) and I *really* don’t like it when men use it. I can’t describe how strongly my body reacts to it. Yuck! This is a subtweet or whatever we call those on here

Our whole problem right now is that the very small number of people in a unique position to take real action aren't doing so.

Beginning to think this whole stock market thing is some made-up bullshit.

Can we stop calling these atrocities "deportations." These people sold to El Salvadorian prisons were not deported. Deportation is a process that did not take place. They were rounded up and removed with no process. They were kidnapped, not deported.

OMG 😂🤣😂

Hope it was worth it to stop a few of us from peeing.

Yes, the stock market may be tanking and our national security apparatus has never been more vulnerable and we're on the verge of both economic collapse and war, but it was all worth it to keep pronouns out of email signatures.

“In 2012, in Arizona v United States, the highest court in the land ruled that “as a general rule, it is not a crime for a removable alien to remain in the United States”. Got that? Not. A. Crime.” From my new Guardian op-ed:

My oven is a pretty standard thing but it has this feature called "rapid preheat" where it will run both the broil and the bake elements together until it's within 50° of your target. This feature is approximately 700X more useful and interesting than having it connected to the internet.

It's always puzzling to know how to disagree politely with someone who states their opinion with complete confidence that everyone holds the same opinion.

This is SO much worse than Hillary‘s emails—it’s not even in the same universe. Don’t let them make that bullshit comparison. She wasn’t sharing war plans. She wasn’t in an unsecured text group sharing classified documents and state secrets. She was actually qualified for her job and not a traitor.

Shout out to Jeffrey Goldberg for reporting on this now instead of waiting two years to put it in a book.

This script would never be accepted as a movie, it’s just so unreal. But thank god we didn’t get the email lady 🤬🤬🤬

Jeffrey Goldberg thinking he was being pranked and then realizing he was actually just in the war plans group chat is such a good microcosm of how it feels to be alive right now, everything seems fake until you realize it’s actually real and incredibly stupid

Schoolchildren are routinely slaughtered by AR-15s. Hundreds die. [*crickets* "Thoughts and prayers" *crickets*] A couple unoccupied cars are set on fire. No one is hurt. ["THIS HORROR WILL NOT STAND!!! We MUST act to STOP it from ever happening AGAIN!!!!" We will pass new LAWS BANNING IT!!!]

Governor Tim Walz is doing exactly what Biden and Harris should have been doing. He's speaking out. He's holding Town Hall meetings. He's doing the news shows. He's condemning Musk and Trump. He's DOING what great leaders do.

I blame so many things for why I can’t put my phone down and why I can’t handle doing only one thing at a time. That is so much easier than admitting it’s just too hard to have time in my head.

You mean like Bud Light?

People need to be crystal clear about something: The requirement that the government ANSWER to a court on the legal basis for detaining someone is literally the core liberty right (habeas corpus). If the government says they don’t have to do that bc “national security,” YOU can be disappeared.

One problem with the idea of reserving due process for law-abiding people is that due process is how we figure out which people are law-abiding.

BREAKING: A court overturned Ohio's ban on gender-affirming care for transgender youth. This is a critical victory for trans rights.

Astronauts are home!!! ❤️❤️❤️

One of the best photos I have seen in response to “why don’t you wear a suit”

The distance between a legal resident who's not a citizen being deported without due process and a citizen being deported without due process is a hell of a lot shorter than many folks seem to believe, and when it does happen to a citizen, just remember it started here and who was quiet in response.

You don’t know who we just disappeared to El Salvador. Think about that.

Signed on to the work computer. It’s barely 8am on Monday and I am too overwhelmed to start. How can I have this many emails/voicemails!?! And nothing is a clear priority?!? ☘️ I just want to drink green beer and be outside, being a responsible adult is dumb ☘️

I can’t blame him, I am happy for him and his family, but… DAMN IT! I hope he reconsiders in the future. I am holding out for President Buttigieg someday ❤️

I never learn my lesson. Parked in a different spot in the parking ramp today to be closer to the elevator. Obviously I forgot where. Got my steps in by the time I found the right level on the 3rd attempt 🤦‍♀️

Epic idea

Too bad Uvalde Elementary didn’t sell Teslas.

The way people act like they won’t actually cut Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security gives similar vibes to when they acted like they wouldn’t actually overturn Roe Stop underestimating them

In a world of Gavin Newsoms, be a Tim Walz.

In Minnesota, we value the people who care for our veterans, even if DOGE doesn’t. If Trump fired you, come work for the State of Minnesota and help take care of our vets.

Why the fuck did even one Democrat vote to censure Green?
