Because I am almost positive that Mitch McConnell is never returning to the Senate and/or is already dead; this message goes to every other Republican out there! #SocialSecurity #Republican #MitchMcConnell #Refunds #VoteBlue2026

Over the past month, as the Trump administration pressured ICE to accelerate mass deportations, ICE agents shot and killed Lorenzo Salgado Araujo in Houston, Texas, and Johan Sebastian Guerrero in Bid...

Disappointed in number of stories about Fauci that neglected to point out that the attacks on him are part of an on-going effort by Trump and GOP to distract from their catastrophic mismanagement of the pandemic, mismanagement estimated to have caused hundreds of thousands of unnecessary US deaths.
If I were a parent (which I cannot be) I would homeschool for two reasons:
I homeschooled my three. My son was coding computers at six while one daughter was reading Dickens at eight and my youngest started wildlife rehabilitation at seven. It’s sad people think homeschooling requires parents to “teach” subjects when if you allow kids to explore they eagerly learn.
My parents felt the same. The most valuable lesson I learned was how to educate myself. They encouraged me in my interests and provided the resources I needed. College was a breeze and I have often heard remarks about my ability to educate myself quickly and thoroughly on any subject I chose.
Co-signed on Depp, but I want to talk about the glasses. Specifically, the intimidation factor. In the US, wannabe J6ers show up at their local public services—particularly libraries—and harass and provoke staff in an effort to get them to “violate” their First Amendment rights.
Kat Tenbarge@kattenbarge.bsky.social · last wk.There’s an even more sinister angle to Johnny Depp’s ongoing “comeback” tour as the new Scrooge—it’s a Paramount production and part of a slate of Ellison-backed conservative cultural takeover attempts. It’s angled around MeToo rejection and the manosphere. spitfirenews.com/p/johnny-dep...
The establishment goons want to make this about everything but the policies. They do this because they have no policy. Don't get distracted. Just talk about the policies.
Remember when Donald Trump illegally demolished a third of the White House and everyone just shrugged

The death toll from the latest Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo has surged above 1,309, an extraordinary rise of more than 40 percent in just five days, government figures show
Here’s the thing with cyclospora that I don’t think folks have considered yet. Cross-contamination in kitchens-commercial and otherwise. I’m not about to bring something into my home that might have cyclospora; I don’t care how long I plan to cook it. I have a box of disposable gloves…
Whew, the editors of @science.org are getting real.

Paywall. Nobody can subscribe to every fucking newspaper on earth individually. I'm sick of this shit.
Remember that time Nixon invited Woodward and Bernstein over for a friendly game of golf shortly after he resigned, and they all had a good laugh about the whole thing? I don't either. #WHCD
The fact of the matter is & has long been: anyone attending the WHCD in this day & age absolutely knows exactly which bed they're in, who they're in it with, & are quite comfortable with all of that. That is to say - they're no longer "journalists" in any meaningful sense.
My revulsion at the mainstream media for participating in the WHCD tonight can’t be overstated. They’re laughing at his jokes and shaking his hand? Fuck off. The corporate press is an enemy addicted to access. And this was true before the Ellison’s started their takeover.
