Showed my 4yo photos of what his class did all week, but he’s been home sick. He burst into tears and said “this looks so fun, I miss school so much.” In case you’ve been brainwashed by the fake trad wife crowd, you do not need to SAHM to be a good mom, you do not need to homeschool.

Like all conspiracy theories, this one has a kernel of truth in it, which is what makes it so insidious & dangerous. There are often multiple causes of death listed on a death certificate. Some ppl who died during the height of COVID died “with” covid instead of “from” covid. V hard to disentangle

DOGE has been sending their mass emails from a misconfigured server, causing DOGE emails to fail SPF (Sender Policy Framework) validation. This means that agencies are probably marking DOGE emails as spam.

Watched Conclave last night. Really enjoyable film. But nowhere near Ralph Fiennes’ best role & Rossellini’s nomination is a joke, esp when placed alongside Zoe Saldana’s role (which of course is also category fraud). Why are the voters falling for these dumb machinations by producers & actors?

I truly think people don’t realize how many universities and colleges — especially public ones — may shut down if restrictions on and withholding of federal funding persists for even one presidency We are facing the demolition of American higher education

It is disproportionately women standing up to him, there’s absolutely no doubt about it. I want men to sit with that for a minute.

there's something sinister about the way people on here always leave out Liz Warren. It's blatant and it speaks volumes.

Honestly I find the map showing the change from 2020 to 2024 to be far more useful. You can put in your zip code and see the % change and the East Bay (easily one of the bluest places in the country) is illuminating www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Seeing calls for an economic blackout on February 28th. And then I’m seeing people recommending buying stuff the day before in order to “make it through”. No. People. That’s not how this works. Renounce whatever you would’ve bought on February 28th.

Malcolm X was assassinated 60 yrs ago today. See his timeless wisdom on the true meaning of “progress.” “If you stick a knife 9 inches in & take it out 6—that’s not progress. Progress is healing the wound. They wont even admit the knife is there.”

This was the scene that really left me SHOOK...and it led me to form a theory (I'll post in the next skeet in case you don't want to know)

"As repulsed as I am by Trump, I find myself much more repulsed by people like Dr. Drew. These are people whom I once found smart and talented, only for them to join Team Evil the second they saw profit from it."

US Republicans are a great example of how it is possible to be a nationalist but not a patriot.

Also for Jews who have been drawing false equivalences for the past 18 months, invoking pro-Palestinian protesters: wake the fuck up and join the resistance! You owe it to your ancestors.

I feel so sick. Enough with the lies, enough with the games. They know exactly what they're doing. This is a neo-Nazi movement. Proudly so. The only reason they've kept it coded up until now was to take advantage of those who didn't want to believe it. No more looking away. Face up to what it is.
