leftist midwesterner Michiganders vote for Dr. Abdul El-Sayed for US Senate! my house is an unofficial cat rescue🐈 🐈‍⬛🐈

Husband’s job (a hospital system) sent out an email about “free family flu shot clinic.” He fwds it to me without looking at it so I can have the info. I click it and it’s just a phishing test 😡 That’s on us for thinking a hospital would actually do something to help its employees & their families.

It’s very simple and it’s been said over and over but I guess it needs saying continuously: if you deem one group too small to have equal rights you are enabling fascism, not fighting it. The people saying Dems are GREAT on trans rights are not paying attention and/or saying stuff like this.

The Democrats defend the Kennedy Center but not trans people.
A building.

@treewarrior.bsky....
maybe because defending everything about a super small minority of the population is not worth losing to fascists

the republicans are wide open on several fronts, historically unpopular president, unpopular war, record high gas. any dem throwing trans people under the bus at this moment is doing it because they want to. not like they need to, do they. even if it worked as a vote winner, which it doesn't

I was in 1st grade on 9/11 & my mom was a government employee. All the gov buildings closed & sent everyone home. She picked us up early from school. I was allowed to jump on my neighbor’s trampoline (normally forbidden) while they watched it all happening. All in all a good day for me.

Rep. Hillary Scholten (#MI03) is one of 33 Democrats who voted with the Republican majority to pass a bill to cut federal funding for colleges and universities that engage in boycotts against Israel.

wish I could title my research poster “murdered by RFK” instead of “subdural empyema presenting as Salmonella bacteremia following foodborne illness”

Yesterday I posted that, "The anti-Black, anti-Arab, and anti-Muslim hate from centrist "vote blue no matter who" Dems rivals that of MAGA fascists." Today we see even former Rep MTG defend Angie Nixon against Laura Loomer's racist attacks before any centrist Democrat steps up. Just beyond pathetic

The average Nepalese person produces 0.5 metric tonnes of CO2 per year. The average American produces 14 metric tonnes. Climate change is harming most those who deserve it least. But at least oil companies and billionaires are making record profits. 😐

Abdul El Sayed won the democratic nomination & centrist Dems are refusing to endorse and threatening to leave the party. The anti-Black, anti-Arab, & anti-Muslim hate from the centrist “vote blue no matter who” Dems rivals that of MAGA fascists. We need to call it out for what it is. 2/2

The media environment around Hasan Piker and getting Dems to condemn him over stuff he didn’t even say does not bode well for 2028. It’s clear that conservatives (and centrists) can just use smear campaigns to distract from real issues and get whatever they want. Backbones need to be developed

REMINDER: Mitch McConnell hasn’t been seen or heard from in now 73 days. Yet he still: •Has his job •Gets paid, and •Gets free world-class healthcare The man who voted against a living wage, against universal healthcare, & against guaranteed paid leave—gets all three as he needs it most.😐

As a tribute to Dolly, why not donate a book? Leave one is a free library. Give one to a friend or neighbor or child. Buy one for a teacher’s wishlist. If you have book donation ideas, add them to this thread. Dolly would love to see people getting books!

Fascinated by the geography & climate implications of how in Animal Crossing New Horizons that the dodos with an airplane can only take me to nearby islands but somehow a turtle with an outboard motor can take me to faraway places experiencing different seasons and/or time zones. #acnh

My biggest Loser opinion which I nevertheless believe to be true is that early morning wake ups are a disease which should not be encouraged by society. 8 AM should be the equivalent of the crack of dawn in the new utopia

The individual reasons why I can’t take any of my 3 cats to a hotel: Cat 1: is terrified & anxious of all things, would be paralyzed with fear whole time, probably cry loudly Cat 2: Is really weird about blankets & thinks blankets are sentient??, attacks them, hisses & growls at them, a lil feral
