SARS-CoV-2 did not come from a lab. There is no evidence pointing to laboratory origins. There’s been a massive disinformation campaign to convince the public otherwise. It’s scary how effective that campaign has been.

Please REPOST there are so many Americans that are not aware of these cuts to Medicaid and SNAP. It’s so crucial to create as much awareness as possible.🙏
Peter Morley ♿️@petermorley.bsky.social · 22h agoI spoke with @deluzio.house.gov regarding the $1 TRILLION Medicaid & MAJOR SNAP cuts that will begin on January 1, 2027 from the BIG UGLY BILL. His POWERFUL response: "people who are eligible are going to lose out...these cuts will take away healthcare & food from people & we gotta repeal it"!

Getting upset over a “Black autistic & proud” shirt and asking “why bring race into it?” ignores that we don’t experience autism separately from being Black. The shirt isn’t excluding anyone. It recognizes our lived experience with racism and ableism. We are allowed to be proud 🤎🖤
Ooh, that's super important. John Deere had the shit sued out of them over this.

Black women in America are more than twice as likely as white women to have a stillbirth. Getting physicians to take their concerns seriously is one reason for this disparity, they say: “If you’re a Black woman, you get dismissed.” From the archives:

Ooh, yes the Gardner Museum heist, but I really want to know *for sure* who Jack the Ripper was. And yes, as a longtime horror fan and speculative writer, I do have a Jack the Ripper story, lol.

So Kansas votes tomorrow on whether to elect its Supreme Court justices. In 2022, Kris Kobach said doing exactly this would let Kansas “slowly and quietly” put anti-abortion judges on the court. Now it’s on the ballot. If you know somebody in Kansas, they should know this is going on.
The Senate is considering a bill that would empower the federal government to spy on customers at retail locations across the country. This isn’t about countering theft, it’s about getting our data and aiding the Trump administration’s deportation campaign. Tell your Senators to vote NO.
Don't Give DHS More Power to Spy on Us
Congress is trying to give DHS and ICE more power to spy on us, all disguised as a "shoplifting" bill: CORCA would let federal agencies track anyone shopping at stores in our neighborhoods. Mass surveillance does not keep us safe. Stop CORCA now.

SpyTalker@spytalker.bsky.social · 2d agoHuge holes remain in the deal Blanche made to get his AG nomination back on track—a deal not endorsed by Trump’s lawyers, just for starters. Then there’s his immunity from tax audits. Cornyn and Tillis not only have nothing to celebrate, they-and the entire GOP – should be ashamed.

Its a lib "bubble" because MAGA can't stick dick opinions in my face without a block. People like bluesky because unlike Twitter you can curate/filter out stupid bullshit. The only reason conservatives hate it is because they cant force you to pay attention to them. That better not fucking change.

This is absolutely insane disinformation. It could not be more inaccurate. And yet, it also reflects the wider disinformation about this initiative. Let's walk through it: First, an ID isn't involved at any part of the process of buying groceries at these stores. At all.
