And for all you Musk stans thinking "I don't like Elon either! But Mars tho!"🤡 China has a Mars mission scheduled for 2028 to return rock samples. That's before our next mission. China already has rovers on Mars. China has their own space station. And China didn't defund their own science research

As we watch the GOP dismantle the federal government with swift urgency, we must acknowledge the reason we are here is Dems do not move with that urgency. When Roe was overturned, Dems held the House, Senate, and White House. Instead of codifying Roe, they fundraised off of it.

You know what really bugs me? If we manage to turn the car around and avoid becoming a failed state, the Average Voter will get Y2K amnesia and say "see? It wasn't that bad" and use it as an excuse to keep voting for billionaire failsons with pseudoephedrine addictions

truthout.org/articles/mod... Kamala wasn't going to reform shit. Biden helped create the prison industrial complex and Kamala continued the racist policies of all previously in her role. You will literally daydream a reality that had four years to happen. The thin blue line is a fascist symbol.

Just before the CEO got shot, a man walked onto the playground at a tiny religious school in Northern California and opened fire. Two five year old boys remain in critical condition. @adriennelaf.bsky.social did not consider that a critical breakdown of society. But oh no the CEO.

I grew up being told that corporate CEO's were fearless, bold and powerful. Now, I understand that many of them are pathetic, scared, cowards. That is something their money won't wash away.

11yo’s class had their final D.A.R.E lesson today. Apparently the cops promised ice cream to the class with the most kids wearing D.A.R.E shirts - my kid’s class - and then they just… didn’t give out any ice cream. So thanks, D.A.R.E, for teaching my kid the most vital lesson of all: that cops lie.

UnitedHealth officials are pointing to their CEO's murder as a reason they cannot comment on an unrelated @propublica.org investigation into the company's practice of strategically limiting access to critical treatment for kids with autism. "We are in mourning," a spokesperson wrote.

As a person who's been involved in the development of numerous codes of conduct and an observer of shifting norms...offsite behavior should ABSOLUTELY be considered when evaluating abuse reports. It's common to organize harassment offsite, often very transparently.

It should be said that @anniewaldman.bsky.social asked UnitedHealthcare for comment over a month ago. Asked again 11 days ago, a spokesperson for the company said “we are in mourning” and that they could not engage with a “non-urgent story during this incredibly difficult moment in time.”

When they talk about privatizing Veterans’ care and Medicare, they mean allowing companies to provide healthcare for a profit. But how do companies make those profits? By denying care to many who need it. Don’t get fooled by the “privatization” label. It means “for profit” and YOU are the cost.

We shouldn’t accept that a CEO killer must get a national manhunt when cops don’t solve most murders at all. A migrant teenager was just murdered in NYC, cops just killed a guy here — the lives of these other people are worth just as much as that CEO.

After I moved to Canada a couple of years ago I realized that I was no longer constantly running a massive stress routine in the background of my mind worrying about health care and guns. It was weirdly noticeable only when it stopped.

Those saying Joe Biden’s pardon of his son gives “permission” to Trump to issue wild pardons forget that Trump never asks or needs permission to do anything wild.

It is exhausting having to research and figure out everything from black plastics to best ventilation practices to COVID vaccine schedules, I know this is a wild idea but have we thought about creating publicly funded government bodies that could manage and regulate this stuff on our behalf
