Thank you for everything. 💚💚💚 Tomorrow, there will be more of us.
Surprising fact: We are actually NOT seeing more food recalls this year compared with recent years. What we’re seeing is an increase in the number of illnesses caused by contaminated food. This is the largest ever cyclospora outbreak & third-largest foodborne illness outbreak of any kind on record.
Reposting as an expression of my admiration for the colorful – not to mention highly accurate and useful – personal insults. Kudos. 🏆 Also because Shady Vance and Trump’s band of misfit idiots failed to read the room again and tripped over their oversized Florsheims and I just love that for them. 🫠
Hey Pilsbury DoucheBoy… if there is one thing you don’t understand, it’s Canadians. Canada just said no trade deal & we are also punching back with our own 50% retaliatory tariffs. Go pound sand & suck it you arrogant submissive buttmunching douche-canoe. #ElbowsUp 🇨🇦
Stroke of genius tbf by Trump to attack merica's obesity epidemic, by sacking all the 'experts' and inducing a kind of vomiting plague on the populus. 5d chess.
www.nbcnews.com/health/healt... The food illness outbreaks continue unabated. Today, it's alfalfa sprouts. Yesterday it was granola, and the day before that dog food. And we've got the continuing jalapeno peppers, lettuce, and blueberries problems. #FoodRecalls #FDA #FoodTesting #Trump 1/2

Neutrogena’s stock is plummeting and are reporting nearly a billion dollars in market value loss amid a massive boycott following Hayden Panettiere’s tragic death and their termination of her contract after 10 years for speaking publicly about postpartum depression. Good, fuck them.

Essential reading, considering that most reporting is ignoring or glossing over the very serious national security implications, and every social media platform is overrun with amusing catering cart memes.

Thank you for the summary! Have decided to skip reading the Axios article in favor of getting back to my summer book(s). 📖 📚🍹🌾

The catering cart memes are doing me in ☠️😭 Please add any I missed in the replies. We need this laugh.
So Trump used a bunch of journalists and even some of his own staff as human decoys to possibly get murdered in mid-air so he could live on and make more money
