I like it here but there are some accounts that act as left-wing hysteria mongers in a way that reminds me of how big right wing influencers on x whip up their bases remember: a good journalist will make it clear how they source claims (no, there are not only 3 staffers at yosemite right now)

Calling it now: if you live in the Portland Metro Area, you're going to get used to hearing the phrases "legally-required duties" and "minimum legal obligation" in relationship to what local government has the financial capacity to do in the upcoming fiscal year.

Yes. Please folks. Exercise caution and compassion in posting.

Elon and the white supremacist women who have children with him won't be the ones affected by this

PRAMS is the source of data for basically every effort to limit infant mortality and all the health dangers mothers face before and after birth. So a pretty big deal the Elon and Co decided to cancel the program.

I am very sad to say that I would have said this is a straight line from exactly what the signals were online, and nobody was listening to the whole cohort of folks shouting about this for about 10 years straight while having their lives ruined for mentioning it

drugs have taken too many beloved celebrities from us over the years but drugs also have a rare chance right now to radically rehabilitate their image

Idk maybe it's just me but instead of detailing the many benefits to x agency you should just say he's doing crimes

On top of everything else it's excellent data since the post office scans every bit of mail

The Algorithm: I see you have been watching a lot of Star Trek lately. Can I interest you in this random episode of Enterprise? Me: The only good thing to come out of the Federation's synth ban in 2385 is that abominations such as you will no longer be permitted to ask me such questions

Elon’s busy schedule today is claiming astronauts were left in the ISS for political reasons, getting corrected by an ISS astronaut, throwing a fit where he calls the astronaut a slur, then complaining that we should deorbit the ISS

Oh yes, Homer’s famous “Tes Thdpssssps.” 👍🏻

CAN CONFIRM: "we need to lose the theory that these Dems are 'spineless' and just don’t understand how to wage political war. We know they can be vicious because we’ve seen them execute that kind of operation against the left."

The important thing to remember about everyone defending the constitutionality of Trump's Executive Order on birthright citizenship is that they all are trying to bring back Dred Scott. Every single one.

new app, "uber with guns" for private security they're gonna rape and kill so many people

What if I told y’all that race is, in fact, not an immutable characteristic? It is a construct created to parce power, opportunity and economic advantage. A person racialized as Black might be 10% African or 100%, but regardless of genetics, they share a common history of exclusion.

Trump regime tweets this wordless video—nothing but the hum of an engine & the clanking of chains—comprised of closeup shots of a human being shackled for deportation. This is, no hyperbole, fascist fetish porn.

Why does Gmail want to offer me help from AI to edit my email to be "polished" when all I want is to sort by sender for the last 15 years 😭

because the nazis say it's because of SOY and SEED OILS and that's why we're all gay now. it's not that complicated

hello cis friends this is what people mean by trans genocide if a type of person does not officially exist, then any harm against them cannot be measured or reported this headline change isn't even being caused by an executive order it's simply the NYT editors deciding we don't deserve to exist

Like think .. We’ve still not had Trump for a full month They have gutted DEI in all ways and forms We KNOW what it means And NO ONE including your Non Black faves and your Black leadership has unequivocally come out in unambiguous terms supporting civil rights

This guy does not understand the concept of a chronic condition. Yes, it turns out that when there’s a medication for a chronic condition, and it’s available, more people will seek diagnosis to get help with their chronic condition.

What these parents are doing is refusing to allow their child to receive lifesaving treatment. That is the sort of thing that *routinely* prompts state child welfare agencies to remove children from their parents' care.

Worlds best newspaper nailed it yet again

they really think they’re saving the world

Mom, can you help me with fractions? Me: *thinking about buying weed in quarters and eighths* Sure, I know a little

taking black kids away from their parents and putting them on farms seems really familiar to me! what could it be?

I think it’s important to analyze this activity in terms of power: 1. They are threatening current & future federal employees about what happens if they don’t follow orders 2. Creating openings for loyalists 3. Creating opportunities for privatization 4. Raiding for resources, money and info Etc

what my kids need to understand is that the unwatchable trash from my childhood is precious, while the unwatchable trash they love is the killer of minds

On Friday night, HHS ordered CDC to take down all flu vaccine campaign materials from its website. Materials are starting to come down. For example, a campaign explaining that flu shot can reduce flu severity from "wild to mild" is now offline. Left image is from Friday, right is now Meanwhile...

Someone snap me out of my revenge procrastination and make me go to bed.

People who voted Trump who are feeling pissed off right now about broken promises are an organizing opportunity, not a gloating opportunity
