For historical perspective, it's common for rhetoric like this to end with public executions of the rich following show trials.

RFK’s belief system should not affect my healthcare

This is literally the Big Pharma conspiracy theory of my lifetime!! That they were suppressing cures because the treatment is more lucrative! Mr. Anti-Big Pharma conspiracy theorist RFK Jr. is literally helping them turn the made-up nefarious scheme real!

Primary prevention is ALWAYS better than secondary prevention.

Two of the offices without senior officials are Houston and Tampa, which, whew, that’s not good. A slow moving catastrophe that won’t be widely understood until it’s too late.

Trump’s HHS just released an anonymous report filled with despicable lies and disinformation about the evidence-based healthcare that trans youth and their families need. We aren’t fooled by MAGA’s attempt to rebrand and promote conversion therapy, a dangerous and discredited practice.

I just think it’s funny that the president thinks making everything more expensive will be no big deal in a nation that exists because its ancestors overthrew their government rather than pay an extra tax on tea

With all the talk of product shortages , I think it should be said that products will first find their way to densely populated areas first and everywhere else, last This certainly will hurt all those red counties. How they react to their shelves being everything will define the midterms

Annual reminder that not everyone has access to or can afford to be seen by a doctor: stop being dicks to people asking for medical advice on the internet.

Jeff Bezos: proof you can have billions and still be a coward. He’ll crush workers, dodge taxes, and kiss authoritarian ass—but stand up for truth? Never. #BezosTheBootlicker

in hindsight it may have been a mistake to put the entire social media industry in the hands of absolute weirdos

Zuckerberg: Everyone thinks I’m a robot. 😢 Also Zuckerberg: Instead of having real friends, you should be friends with robots.

As a clinical psychologist, I've sat with grieving loved ones of people who've died from opioid overdose because Narcan wasn't around. We need every tool at our disposal to help people who experience addiction. Narcan saves lives. You can’t Make America Healthy Again if people are dead.

Happy May 1st. The value of your labor belongs to you and the actions of the state are best understood as as a coordinated effort to distract you from this. The state fears an organized and unified proletariat like it fears death and rightly so. Power to the workers and power to the people

Friendly May Day reminder that cops aren’t workers! FTP!

Civil asset forfeiture is a blight on our society. It allows the government to act unjustly and with impunity And, if you don't follow Billy, please do. He was a favorite on the other app so I'm glad he is on here for all of us to learn from Keep up the great work, @billybinion.bsky.social 👍🏻

Happy 80th anniversary of Hitler killing himself in his bunker to all who celebrate, which, as I now understand it, is not everybody

Former heroin addict turned HGH guy with worms in his brain who plays around with roadkill and only drinks raw milk: Everyone else is stupid and, frankly, their teeth work too good.

So…there are greater consequences for an assistant coach failing to keep Shedeur Sanders’ phone number secure than for the secretary of defense failing to keep attack plans secure

NEW: Judge Xinis DENIES an additional request by the government to further stay discovery in the Kilmar Abrego Garcia case.

it really is astounding that a presidential administration crashed the growth trajectory of the wealthiest country on the planet in basically two months

yeah i am pretty much on the side of primary everyone

scroll up for excellent thread

You don't have to worry about a $60 million dollar jet falling overboard at sea when you've cut Meals on Wheels, SNAP and cancer research.

personally would like to see every store show what part of the price increase is due to tariffs bc if these tariffs ever come down, i need to see that price go right back down

The people who whine on about how the country is "full" so we can't allow any more immigrants in and THAT'S why they don't want it, promise, are often the same people who whine on about how young people aren't having children anymore and the birthrate is falling.

Here's more proof that the right-wing fantasy of “wealth flight” is not a real thing 👇 "Despite previous concerns, Massachusetts' 'millionaire's tax' hasn't seemed to deter high-earners from continuing to live here, according to a new study from the Institute for Policy Studies." #TaxTheRich

BREAKING: An appeals court dismissed the Guam attorney general's effort to reinstate a total abortion ban. Abortion remains legal in the territory.

I think I take a lot of the RFK stuff pretty personally because as a Dipshit-American I have a lot of quasi-magical beliefs about how my body works and it really pisses me off to see someone turn this joyful practice to evil

ICE agents are lawless, sociopathic shitbirds. Treat every one you encounter accordingly.

Just heard @ryanclancywi.bsky.social call for abolishing ICE on @npr.org. Host @steveinskeep.bsky.social acted like it was his first time hearing about the idea. Please invite more people to share about abolition. We need it! www.npr.org/2025/04/28/n...

Asylum seekers, legal residents and applicants with dates in an immigration court are NOT UNDOCUMENTED IMMIGRANTS. Being a non-citizen does NOT make someone undocumented.

You're welcome, Canada! May other nations also be so inspired by our cautionary tale

Just because 99/100 scientists agree that it's bad to open a portal to the hell dimension doesn't mean we should immediately discount the opposing views of the scientist employed by Open A Portal To The Hell Dimension Inc.

Nothing to be scared of here in political terms. One of the least popular presidents is now even less popular than he was in his first term. People need to come out from under rocks.

Also I’ll add that when Trump was a criminal defendant he frequently filed motions over statements made by prosecutors or public officials that were FAR less inflammatory than this.

"ICE is a rogue federal agency operating with impunity-destabilizing families, terrorizing neighborhoods, and eroding the very principles of justice it claims to defend. What happened yesterday ... is not an accident-it is the deliberate outcome of a system sliding deeper into authoritarianism."

i genuinely want to know what the hell is wrong with this guy. he is a total monster and i am a little interested in how he got to be this way.

I'm 70ish and doing the same! READ don't BURN!🔥

Stealing kids and secretly shipping them to a foreign country is the definition of child trafficking, isn't it.

Not sure who needs to hear this but the tighter you try to control leaks, the more likely there will be leaks, especially in a bureaucracy as large as the US Government's.

“Deporting” someone is sending them back to their country where they are free to live as citizens. What that asshole is doing is NOT deportation. It’s kidnapping and human trafficking. It’s illegally sending people to USA-funded off shore concentration camps.

ICE is kidnapping people and disappearing them to death prisons in El Salvador, so is it any wonder the people they are targeting are being "combative" Full story: www.providencejournal.com/story/news/p...
