As you watch Trump berate and put his hand on Zelenskyy just ask yourself one simple question: could you ever imagine him speaking to Putin like this?

What a joke this country has become. Far right Trump flatterers cosplaying as journalists in the Oval Office. Rubio sitting there rightly looking embarrassed.

This scrum of pot-bellied, sunken-chested betas trying to bully an all-black clad badass Eastern European wasteland survivor while dressed like Men’s Wearhouse mannequins is peak cinema.

A trifecta.

That's today, folks.

Being in the room with a man who is actually strong and brave — which MAGA only pretends to be — reveals Trump and Vance for the babies they are.

It’s great having a neurotype that both impedes executive function and makes me hypersensitive to injustice, it’s so easy to stay both alive and productive in a permanent state of “the smoke alarm is beeping and no one can turn it off”

My brain is scrambled and misty and I just realized that I have no idea how the words that come out of my mouth originated. #Autism #ADHD

www.commondreams.org/news/trump-c... By not regulating guns more strictly & now doing away with disease protection it is apparent that republicans are out to kill our children as well as us. #VaccinesSaveLives #VaccinesWork #Resist

Trans folks are more likely to experience homelessness than other groups. This is just evil.

From Bondi to Bove to Blanche to Sauer, this DOJ is literally (not figuratively) just Trump’s law firm—all top positions are held by his personal lawyers, and he’s asserted the “right” to corruptly plot cases with them—and not a whit more Any American who accepts this will understand what’s coming

Wow! Now that I have a new lens in my left eye, I can see how blurry vision is in my right eye. #cataracts

Cataract surgery went well. My eye hurts now.

So yesterday I shared a video about Dump's low IQ, and how his voters are just stupid. In contrast, I want to share this one about populism by one of my favorite thinkers, Hank Green. youtu.be/d8PndpFPL8g?...

Don't you mean the GOP reacts this way?

So doomscrolling is what we're all doing today?

Happy #caturday from the Queen.

I find myself doomscrolling just because our doom is all around us now

Instagram and Facebook have recently blurred, blocked or removed posts from two abortion pill providers. Instagram also suspended the accounts of several abortion pill providers and hid the providers from appearing in search and recommendations. nyti.ms/4h3PF1x

Never. Forget.

Grrr arrrgh!

Transphobia is immoral, horrible, and downright evil, AND it’s also not supported by science. Among other astonishingly ridiculous and clearly false crap released by trumpty dumpty today, as a trained biologist, I just want to say…

I'm 73. I marched to ban the bomb, for civil rights, against the Vietnam War, for the right to equality for all. This is the tradition I was raised in and raised my children in. I'm tired and disappointed.

I thought I'd lost my Medicaid. Turns out it was THIS!

EveryLibrary was proud to provide pro bono support for this bill, which takes a stand against book bans in New Jersey. www.everylibrary.org/celebrating_... via @everylibrary.bsky.social

The thing that keeps getting me about all the pieces fretting about Bluesky being too insular is that the argument seems to be that those of us who are most likely to be abused by the right (BIPOC people, trans people, queer people, etc) must put up with being abused for the sake of public discourse
