The reply was for Republicans, because they have convinced everyone that DSA = Communists = Open Borders, blah blah blah. I bet if we ask Welker to define DSA, that would her answer too, not that DSA are for universal healthcare, childcare, affordable housing, living wages, higher social security…

They are going to make this a triple threat aren't they for London.

Money is always there for corporate handouts, tax cuts, wars. But for healthcare, housing, or kids? Suddenly we're broke It's not about affordability. It's about who they choose to fund Fiat currency means Congress doesn't need our tax dollars first Stop believing the myth. #DSA #Democrats

Money out of politics. Money in your pocket. Medicare for All. Michigan... We won. I am so proud to be your Democratic nominee for US Senate. Let's win in November.

The first antibiotics came out of the synthetic dye industry in Germany. Paul Ehlrich pioneered the drug salvarsan as an effective antibiotic for syphilis in 1907.

Elon Musk spent years warning that AI could end humanity. Then he decided he couldn't stop it anyway, so he just joined the acceleration club instead. That's the ultimate grift: manufacture concern, claim powerlessness, profit from chaos. Watch the full video: youtu.be/ztEHE6N5kHM

No idea why one goes and makes a claim, then when asked to back it up does this.. then blocks. I mean I know why, but..

What is "Grade inflation"? Never heard this before and the author doesn't have replies to ask them directly.

Dominique Baker@bakerdphd.bsky.social · 2w ago

Feds want unis: "reexamining admissions practices, hiring more conservative faculty, cracking down on student protests, combating grade inflation, reducing foreign donations and lowering tuition." Some faculty will fall for this nonsense. The bigger worry is that boards and presidents will.

If flooding begins where you are, move to higher ground immediately. Stay out of flooded streets, and never drive through floodwaters.

New Yorkers: Tonight's forecast calls for potentially life-threatening flooding, especially for those living in basement apartments and neighborhoods that have flooded before.

Happens every time. Black father kills a man who tried to rape his daughter & media posts his solo mug shot. White father murders his wife & children & media posts his smiling picture with the woman he murdered. Make no mistake—this is how media normalizes white supremacy & extremism. Reject it.

Russ Vought wants bureaucrats traumatized. Unable to work, defunded agencies failing. The genius is, when services collapse, you blame the person in front of you, not the saboteur. This is the crisis of confidence opening neoliberals have been waiting for. Watch the full video: youtu.be/HTciDEqUlUU

If only DNC/DEMS knew why they didn't vote for Harris.. and IDK have the them address those massive flaws in their strategy to correct it. It's not like the DNC did an autopsy which told us all that the left was correct... again or anything! 😏 We just have to hope ppl VBNMW... Right?

Amendment 4 takes all the power away from Missourians and gives it to directly to politicians controlled by rich donors. Why would Missourians vote to destroy their constitutional rights with special rules that ZERO other states have? Vote NO on Amendment 4 this August 4th!

Congress must follow the lead of our City, pass the Wadee Act, and recommit to the work of rooting out hate in all its forms to honor our shared humanity.

As the lead sponsor of the Wadee Act, I welcome the unveiling of “Little Palestine Way” and “Wadea Al-Fayoume Way,” recognizing the contributions of Palestinian-Americans and honoring the life of six-year-old Wadee who was murdered in 2023 in a hate crime.

From ‘Outstanding’ and a good reminder that investing in the arts is a win-win, not a lose-lose, proposition.

Less than a week since Lorenzo’s murder, ICE fatally shot another man in Maine. The murders at the hands of ICE aren’t one-offs, they’re a pattern. DHS and ICE can't be reformed, they were built to violate our rights. We must abolish ICE and dismantle DHS.
