It’s one thousand years since Al Hazen, and I am still struggling to figure out how vision does what it does. Proud graduate of Forest Hills High School (NYC) and addicted to humiliation on Duolingo.

I'm dumb. I can't figure out how to end world hunger. But I do promise that I will continue to change healthcare in this country and make it more affordable, possibly setting a path towards Universal Healthcare.

The NY Times’ headline tells us that Bannon’s nazi salute has been “likened to a nazi gesture.” So, I guess the orange I ate for breakfast can be “likened to an orange.” Thanks for the Ted Talk, guys.

in the trump administration, “merit” is pronounced “white” like how strom thrumond said it.

It's strikingly similar to the white supremacy campaigns in Reconstruction North Carolina, as described by Gregory Downs in Declarations of Independence (p.192), where Black employment in government jobs was framed as prima facie evidence of anti-white discrimination.

Brown had to go - he was serving his country while black.

Casually bringing this back… #OCanada 🍁

Let's be very clear that Pete Hegseth absolutely has his job because he is a white man.

A pundit tried to argue with @jamellebouie.net just yesterday that Trump isn’t trying to resegregate the bureaucracy. But this stuff would make Woodrow Wilson proud.

I bet the (White) US secretary of defense got the job because of HIS race. “Trump fires Black joint chiefs chair Hegseth accused of promoting diversity”

Needed a keyboard to use with my iPad. Happy to eschew Bezos’ company, to go with a company I like, B&H in NYC. I care where my money goes.

America is Healing 🇺🇸😄💯

I think anyone who hates the DOGE team shouldn’t get the $5000! 😆 🤣 😂

for the love of God. fucking honestly. “controversial salute.” it’s a nazi stiff arm salute. literally everybody knows this. “controversial” is a chickenshit word generally (what purpose does its use serve? hint: an editorial, not journalistic one) but when we’re talking about public nazi shit gah

Did you know that 72 MILLION Americans rely on Medicaid for healthcare? The Trump Administration and MAGA Republicans in Congress want to take it away to give tax breaks to billionaires. Don't let them take away our healthcare. Let them know you didn’t vote for this shit.

This. #CanadaSky 🇨🇦 #CdnPoli

One does wonder why the airlines are being quiet about this, considering that their asses are on the line here.

Donald Trump and Elon Musk have fired “multiple FAA lawyers whose job was to help prevent pilots with drug and alcohol problems from getting in the cockpit.” Musk and Trump want you to die in an airplane crash. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Not being funny or anything but if I was an American who had lost family fighting the Nazis I would be /beyond pissed/ that the President of the US literally doesn't know when Victory in Europe Day is.

My warmest greetings go out to the wonderful people who built their careers sniffing out “Ukrainian Nazis” under every stone in Ukraine for tasty headlines that fueled Russian war propaganda on this-is-why-Ukraine-must-be-dealt-with, only to get Nazi salutes normalized in their own country.

1st not 51st ❤️

The breadth and scope of cowardice amongst our scientific leadership is staggering.

Once a solid ally, the US now threatens Ukraine as tRump blindly parrots Putin's lies while he fakes brokering peace. Ukrainians are enraged by tRump's daft claim that their president is a "dictator," rallying around Zelenskyy, who boldly decries tRump's Russian rhetoric. www.msn.com/en-us/news/w...

This lady has got fire! And Boy does she let them have it! Jasmine Crocket, you’ve got a brilliant career ahead of you if you keep speaking truth to power like you are. I’ll vote for you any day over the spineless, cowardly, ignoble Republicans lying through their teeth for power at any price.

JT Miller coming in there like Han Solo at the end of Star Wars to send this game to overtime. Holy crap. This is the best hockey. #4NationsFaceoff

YAY! CANADA!! www.nbcnews.com/sports/hocke...

the Canadians leave America victorious

Karma??? In Boston tonight, Team Canada beat Team America in the finals of the Four Nations hockey tournament.

gravedigger of american democracy. a more malign influence than john c calhoun.

Prolific chameleon Pollievre morphs into whatever guise serves him best. Don't be fooled. He is totally onboard the Trump cartel train with the same Christofascist backers.We are not Belarus! #Resist. Hold the line, Canada. Never vote for #Pollievre #cdnpoli #CanadaStrong

I don't think the Dems can stop the firings. But why aren't they proposing legislation that assures those that took the buyout get paid , and that all that are fired, get at least a year severance and health benefits? And any one with a health condition is covered the entire time they are sick?

Fight like Zel!

Canada-Russia hockey final tonight, just like old times.

PSA: If you’re going to go around referring to yourself as the “king” of America you sure as fuck don’t get to call a democratically elected foreign leader a “dictator.”

I have only one question for PP, why have you not submitted to your security clearance?

Ontario, the country is counting on you. Ford has robbed you blind, done nothing for LTC, nothing for healthcare, we can better than conservatives we must defend against the convicted felon rapist south of us. Ford is a sellout! VOTE HIM OUT!

We need solid economic policy, we need a PM that has good diplomatic contacts in this world, PP is not that. #anythingbutconservative
