Putting myself on a limited Facebook diet again. It doesn't matter where your political leanings are, make a tongue in cheek comment in a post and someone is going to go apeshit on you without even bothering to make sure they actually understand your response. Can you imagine if we all did this...

@gabrielurbina.com Just finished the Harbingers season a few days ago. You've nailed it again! My mind cannot stop pondering what season 2 is going to bring!
It’s gonna be a pretty solid weekend if social media is flooded with clips of Laura Loomer getting her ass handed to her in-person by Indian journalists. Shout-out to Rajdeep Sardesai for kicking off the festivities.
We should move all future state of the union speeches to the Ides Of March as a reminder.
I don't think she even pretends she's not a bigot. What I think is funny is how much gender affirming surgery she's had, for someone who is as transphobic as she is.

Basically, non-white south Africans, who absolutely could have treated white descendants of colonists the way white people treated non white people, have not done so. The racist idiots realized they didn't have it so bad and went home. Good riddance, but I'm sure they didn't really learn anything.
The land of milk and honey turned out to be expensive polluted water and stale bread. Many white South Africans who are repatriating reported "better quality of life" and "lower cost of living," while others say crime in America is the reason they’re going back to South Africa. #ETTD
Is anyone following me fluent in any Chinese languages? Over the years I've seen some hilariously bad translations from Mandarin or Cantonese into English, and it's always amusing how it turns out for some reason. So I'm wondering if the reverse is true too? Let me know!

📌We have learned tonight that Russia is in fact helping Iran target U.S. bases. Go ahead and tell me again Trump isn't Putin's puppet.
Sgt. Brian McGinnis is out of jail after he was arrested for expressing his opposition to the US war on Iran in Congress. Capitol Police officers and Senator Sheehy broke his arm as they removed and arrested him.
I had not considered this, but I think I may stick with it.
The greatest hack that I have for this? And it *works*? Keep your follow count LOW. If you follow a small number of accounts (I recommend a few hundred MAX), your social media feed can’t become an infinite scroll. If you go for more than a few minutes, you *will* start to recognize posts…
One of the things I'm realizing about myself, is that I allow other people to derail me too easily. My empathy is completely disregulated. Either I internalize everyone's feelings around me, or I compartmentalize in order to cope. The compartmentilization was helpful during patient...
Got a bit of time this afternoon while I work on some new writing. Anyone got any questions, anything they’d like to know, anything they want advice on? #AMA
Chlorine dioxide is an industrial bleach for lumber and freaks like RFK give autistic kids enemas with it. Kids die from the practice. These people just want autistic kids dead.
Chlorine dioxide, a chemical used for disinfecting and bleaching. Pressurized pure oxygen. Raw camel milk. Under RFK Jr., the FDA has taken down a webpage warning about these and other dangerous remedies claiming to treat autism.
Vinay Prasad has been an a noxious influence on public health and drug regulation. Good riddance. UCSF should not take him back. He should wander in the wilderness forever. www.cnn.com/2026/03/06/h...

I really don't think the California republican party has figured out how many conservative leaning people they've completely lost by continuing to support Trump's insanity.
@carepublicans.bsky.social if you all want ANY hope of having more than one seat in the house next year from California, maybe it's time you consider impeaching the failed president.
Honestly, I'm shocked it took this long for Trump to decide Noem was too much of a liability. Any other POTUS who saw their approval ratings drop THAT much thanks to a completely mismanaged branch of government would have done it months ago
When you slobber over any white man that stands up to the administration *online*, regardless of his politics, and pledge eternal fealty to him, yet kick and scream about how Jasmine Crockett “isn’t electable,” you know we see you, right?
To the Democrats: the midterms are coming up. Assuming trump doesn't succeed in his attempt to steal the midterms, you will have control of the senate and the house. The American people want blood. So don't fuck it up with your usual ineffective bullshit.
I'm hearing Barron Trump did some oil buying right before daddy bombed Iran. Does he not realize that when daddy is out of office he will face insider trading charges?
It kind of blows my mind how clueless this administration is. I'm 48 years old, and my country has been at war for my ENTIRE LIFE. We are tired of war. Younger gen xers and older millenials remember growing up with the tail end of the cold war fears, Panama, the Contras, Desert Storm, the...
Americans in Israel: uh, hey, there are missiles hitting the city thanks to our actions in Iran. I can't get a flight home, the border with Lebanon isn't safe to cross, and none of the "allied" nations nearby are safe either, can you help? US Embassy: ha! Good fucking luck, they're gonna kill us.
Wow. The U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem tells Americans they’re on their own.
Neither party uses evidence based approaches to solve social issues to the degree they ought to. This will be a thread, but before I start, please don't reply with examples where evidence based programs were implemented by either party. I'm well aware. PEPFAR comes to mind. Needle exchange too. 1/n
