“Shhhh…we don’t talk about abuse of women and children by the head of household bc that’s a family matter.” Typical patriarchal BS.

The Washington Post@washingtonpost.com · 8h ago

Speaker Mike Johnson (R-Louisiana) said the House Ethics Committee will look into the allegations of domestic abuse involving Rep. Max Miller (R-Ohio), saying it is “not my business” to get involved in Miller’s family matters.

Really, Twitface? Tell that to a woman with 32 fibroids in her uterus. Or a girl whose pelvic organs are fused together because of endometriosis. FFS, the head of HHS cannot in any way adopt the perspective of someone other than himself.

Oh my god the dietician who is telling everyone in the White House to only eat steak and sauerkraut doesn't wipe his ass.

#Wovember. That’s what this election is about. Women standing up and saying enough of this fuckery, we are DONE. Absolutely done. We’re taking back body autonomy, we’re kicking you twits out of OUR govt, and we are green lighting an OBSCENE amount of funding for female health research.

Cornyn: "As to the idea it could be revived in the future, I think it's highly unlikely that could happen without the cooperation of the DOJ. And I think Mr Blanche gave us the assurances that it was dead and would not be revived and in this case we have no alternative but to take his word" 🙃

Whitehouse: "Today I think is a sad and embarrassing day for this committee as it looks like on a party-line vote we are going to advance out of this committee probably the most discreditable person ever to seek the office of attorney general. Let's start with the Epstein files ... "

Helping? That’s typically something one agrees to do, not forced to do. AI companies stole content. Regulate the F out of this industry.

Elizabeth Warren@warren.senate.gov · 2d ago

Do you use Instagram or Gmail? You could be helping to train AI. Big Tech has turned what all of us helped create into a trillion-dollar industry. It’s time to tax AI so you can share in its success.

Just girls, eh? It’s gross and creepy either way. But just come out and say you want to inspect naked girls like Donald Trump did at his teen beauty pageants. FFS, get therapy.

An initiative on the ballot in Washington state in November would require all athletes seeking to play girl's sports from kindergarten to high school to undergo "genetic screening, a testosterone-levels test, or an examination of their reproductive anatomy" before they can play

The whole point of the Bill of Rights is to protect the only true minority - the individual. It limits the governments power to harm the individual. The whole constitution is designed to limit the governments power.

I'm a full Professor of Immunology and fully vaccinated. I didn't get vaccinated out of obedience, but after decades of studying the immune system and evaluating all evidence. Calling that "lack of critical thinking" is not an argument. It's ideology masked as pretend intellect.

Trump’s tax immunity for himself, his kids, and his businesses is all he cared about. The slush fund would have gone straight to his pocket. But it’s not what he cares most about. No one is above the law.

Allison Gill@muellershewrote.com · 3d ago

BREAKING: Todd Blanche has released what he calls a rescission of the slush fund (left). The last lawsuit he mentions is mine (Gill v DOJ). This doesn't change the fact that the "settlement" setting up the fund is still in effect. On the right, Blanche is LEAVING IN PLACE Trump's tax immunity.

RFK Jr is a lunatic. Don’t treat him as if he’s a balanced person. He’s totally unhinged and a liar.

Dr. Lucky Tran@luckytran.com · 3d ago

I worked for New York’s largest medical center at the start of the pandemic. There were morgue trucks on the streets. They set up emergency medical tents in Central Park. Healthcare worker colleagues died. It is horrific that RFK Jr is on national TV lying that ICUs were empty.

I had a bizarre car shopping experience yesterday and holy shit, that world has not evolved. Lying, bullying, skipping right up to fraud with glee. I noticed something else a day later: not a single sales person was a woman. Not one. Another example of men thinking there’s only one way to win.

Max Miller is an abuser. We should remove all men who abuse women and children from elected positions. ALL of them. Including Donald Trump.

Ron Filipkowski@ronfilipkowski.bsky.social · 3d ago

Anyone who has worked with domestic violence victims know the answer to this is too often yes.

Imagine how thrilled Trump would be if no one could ever access his tax records again. He’s a mobster who’s been laundering money and hanging with Jeffrey Epstein. And people voted for this criminal.

Q: Can you rule out that Iran is behind the water attacks? TRUMP: I don't think so. I think that Minnesota is behind it. You know who is behind it? Minnesota. Because they're grossly incompetent. I don't think there was an Iranian cyberattack. I think Minnesota ought to get its act together.

Alas, women, we will continue to not know the role of the uterus when not pregnant, the causes of diseases like endometriosis, why Black women develop more fibroids…and we’ll be stuck with BC to treat these conditions. Women’s health is ignored by these men.

Kim Lane Scheppele@kimlanelaw.bsky.social · 6d ago

Terrific article about the govt's new "science policy" that shreds university basic research in favor of a tech bro approach to innovation. Little does the Trump admin realize that innovations from drugs to AI depend on basic research that the for-profit sector does not produce.

The lab theory is v hard to reconcile w/evidence: So, two (2 lineages initially) infected WIV researchers didn't infect anyone in their community or around WIV (invisible masks?). They went to the market to pet (?) mammals, left traces of SARS2, coughed on people. Then put invisible? masks back on.

Stephen Nuñez@socio-steve.bsky.social · 6d ago

I still don't understand the purpose of this conspiracy theory exactly. Why would everyone be trying to cover up that the virus (which was clearly not bioengineered) was loosed through a lab leak as opposed to spread in wet markets?

The Fauci hearing perfectly illustrated how living through a once in a century pandemic somehow made Republicans far worse on public health. God forbid we face anything like covid again during Trump 2.0. There will be no Dr Fauci around to try to talk sense to Trump.
