Here's a few 1. promulgating the MAHA branding 2. validating it 3. adopting the "everyone has been corrupted" and both-sides framing. It is the open funnel mouth of a pipeline into a world view that ends in a pile of measles.

They/them/e/em/eir If I can't tell why you followed me (e.g. never interacted with a post) I block on sight
Saw could have all been prevented if he just saw a therapist specializing in cancer smh (finally watching saw x)
I see where people got confused when folks like AOC said voters wont support Republican-lite policies. She meant that voters wont support *centrists* who are Republican-lite, leftists being Republican-lite will work out great surely.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez@ocasio-cortez.house.gov · 2d agoThere is pervasive corruption across our healthcare and agricultural systems that defy party lines. I meet with MAHA activists because a lot of their concerns are bipartisan issues that major corporations paint as partisan. The fight isn't left and right, it's top and bottom.
She didn't even need to do that because it's not like woo bullshit science doesn't exist on the left lol which is what makes this worse because there are many Dems and leftists that also believe you can treat autism with a specific diet and shit like
THE LEFT: Unlike those dirty centrists, we won’t sell you out for the approval of pompous pricks with Substacks. ME: Really? Neat! THE LEFT: We’ll sell you out for the approval of sweaty dumbasses who hit shit with hammers and the woo granola types.
“It’s not a fight between left and right, it’s between top and bottom. Which is why I met with a bunch of plague cultists for the most powerful man in the entire world.”
Weedle@weedle.bsky.social · 2d agoSure the MAHA activists want to make it illegal for trans people to access hormones but they're so authentic and populist about it so
The health woo is portable. Even if we woke up with a socialized single-payer healthcare system tomorrow, we’ll simply find a new way to explain away why Hospitals And Doctors Bad
Literally any flaw in the system will be used to market why you should shove these supplements that totally aren’t a placebo or aren‘t chock full of questionable ingredients down your gullet
Health woo is a *market* more so than just a simple A-B societal reaction, even if you gave everyone free access to primary care tomorrow, you’ll still have to fight it. ”This One Trick To Cure COVID” wasn’t just limited to the US!
I maintain that Andrew Wakefield should be imprisoned for his role in this.
MAHA do not have bipartisan concerns, they are stupid morons who what to feel special by "doing their own research" (watching youtube videos made by complete idiots) and their king is a guy who is probably, as we speak, eating deep fried chipmunks out of a brown paper bag

Never Trumpers purposely didn’t bring back measles, man.
the abbot of unreason (an archaeologist)@merovingians.bsky.social · 2d agoI don't like this, at all. But I get it. it makes more sense than courting never trumpers
The ‘anti-corporate’ angle of this is so fucking dumb too; congratulations, you are lining the pockets of quacks and small time con men selling ‘alternative treatments’ instead of Big Pharma, how virtuous

when chomsky dies i am going to foia his fbi file and i will give you 2:1 odds he is an fbi informant
The most generous take I can give is that she wants to peel away the "Concerns about food safety and medicine pricing" part of MAHA away from the "Vaccines gives you Super AIDS" part. Problem is I don't think the former was ever a major part of MAHA to begin with.
I don't think you can court MAHA and also oppose RFK Jr considering he's the reason in the first place like im all for coalition building and shit but idk man i literally went in the closet at dr offices bc I know what maha want to do to autistic trans people. I'm safer just being autistic like
Ma'am these people think autistic people should be put in work camps

You're telling me a social media company CEO wants to expand their user base. This is new and shocking information.
Good lord I wish some of you could read on this text based social media website.
The Verge@theverge.com · 2d agoBluesky's new CEO Toni Schneider on the platform's reputation for being a liberal bubble: "Yes, we definitely want that to change. It is already changing. It certainly wasn’t designed to attract one specific group of people."
"I have made two of the most right wing freaks in the world bend the knee to a liberal Black woman based on their commitment to a democratic system of government" was pretty solid!
Faster heartbeats. Non-stop sweat. Endless rage. Get that dog blood today.
Guys, the best weapons to protect your neighbors from ICE are NOT GUNS They are CAMERAS, WHISTLES, and a well-organized RAPID RESPONSE AND NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH SYSTEM. ICE is better-armed than you'll ever be. But they like to rely on secrecy, and you can make it much harder for them to be secret.
Jesus Christ these guys are supposed to stand up to people committing genocides and Rowling threatens a lawsuit and they simply decide we aren’t worth it
Lee Hurley@hleehurley.com · 5d agoAmnesty have issued an apology to JK Rowling and the rest. Adjust your expectations, and donations, accordingly www.amnesty.org.uk/latest/an-ap...
Plenty of ethical uses for this that people aren't seeing. For instance: telling your boss you will be late to work because you exploded
Joseph Cox@josephcox.bsky.social · 5d agoNew from 404 Media: Google Earth has introduced an AI feature that lets anyone fabricate completely bullshit satellite images. In our own tests, we added a “bomb blast and crater” to an area of Los Angeles. This is a misinformation time bomb, will 100% be abused www.404media.co/google-earth...
This is why the number one thing liberal con law people should be working on is arguments that Trump’s pardons are not valid. Obviously none of this can happen without court packing but once the new liberal court is in place, there need to be arguments ready to hand them.
Mikhail Gorbaechev@mikhailgorbaechev.bsky.social · 5d agoI think that not only is this good politics, but the stability of American society depends on it. Liberal American normies are out for blood, but *everyone* is in an anti-system mood. If we don't feed that beast some sacrifices, it'll find someone who can, and those sacrifices will be innocent.
People want a Wicker Man to make the harvest good again. I think we should put the Nazi guys who deserve to be burned alive in the Wicker Man.
wilp@youaretraffic.bsky.social · 5d agoif voters think democrats are weak on crime, one weird trick to fix it and other problems would be burying miller under the jail
