Two people have died in the cyclospora outbreak in Michigan, state health officials announced Monday, the first deaths confirmed in the U.S. related to the microscopic parasite.

They wear all minority group issues as a shield against criticism. It sickens me that they co-opt and infest legitimate movements and cause to spread their BS. Like political HIV....

Two senators on their way out the door. Nothing left to lose. Total leverage. And they traded it for a memo. A piece of paper. Cornyn and Tillis folded like lawn chairs, and everybody knew they would. Again.

💯🎯 Another pandemic will happen - question of when, not if. The mortality rate for next 1 could be significantly ⬆️, which means ⬆️ innocent lives will be lost. Among those who will die in ⬆️ numbers will be selfish people, those who weren't willing to set aside their personal wants for greater good.

Hey Fauci haters, his decisions saved lives. Including mine. | Opinion

Turning the COVID-19 pandemic into a culture war political battle trivializes the suffering of those who lost loved ones. And those who survived it.

OK, people. It’s time for a serious heart-to-heart. It’s crucial we be honest with ourselves and start acknowledging the part we play in the divide and conquer of oppression. I don’t care who you are; if we can’t pull it together by midterms, we’re staring down the barrel of authoritarianism #Pinks

Was the point of Max Miller doing that video today to make him look even more guilty? If so, mission accomplished.

The Secret Handshake moved its 10-foot-tall gold “Iran War Participation Trophy” to Foley Square in Manhattan. The satirical protest piece features a giant #1 and a plaque awarding Trump a participation trophy for his “enthusiastic involvement in the Iran War.”

Yeah, sorry, but some folks on here just got straight-up outrage farmed by the Verge. This is fine!

Good lord I wish some of you could read on this text based social media website.

Anyone supporting for ANYMORE criminal Trump LOYALISTS is supporting the massive damages done, massive criminality, digging into our pockets for SOCIAL SECURITY, MEDICARE were not going to be a part into corrupt politicians that should be in prison not running governments!

Anyone who supports Donald Trump is a stupid asshole.

Personally I would love to see Bluesky expand. It shouldn’t just be the app for leftists who can’t stand Matt Yglesias! It should also be the app for liberals who can’t stand Matt Yglesias. And apolitical folks who can’t stand Yglesias. And, yes, even conservatives who can’t stand Matt Yglesias!

Reminder: Todd Blanche has… -Weaponized the DOJ to persecute Trump’s political foes -Purged hundreds of career DOJ lawyers -Botched the release of the Epstein files and ignored victims’ wishes He can’t be trusted and has no business being Attorney General. The Senate must reject him.
