What can you do? CALL. WRITE. SCREAM. The bill is up for a vote THIS WEDNESDAY. Call your Senator. Dem. Republican. Whomever. Right now, it's a solid R bill, but they're looking for Dems to take it across the finish line. Let them know how badly it stinks. www.defendonlineprivacy.com/screen/

The sitting president of the United States got his accounts closed for money laundering and its barely news 🤯
I have, with my own eyes, watched my tax dollars in the form of missiles as they hit buildings inhabited by civilians. I'd much prefer subsidizing a grocery story I don't use.
USA TODAY Opinion@usatodayopinion.usatoday.com · 2d agoOpinion: Mamdani's idea may sound appealing, but it's NYC taxpayers who will take the hit, subsidizing discounts they may never even use.
The gaslighting is off the charts with this one. Every word is a lie. His actual approval rating is the second worst in modern presidential history, behind only Nixon’s 24% just before he resigned.
The President of the United States just told a reporter to “don’t ever talk again”. What do all the first amendment advocates think of this?
Its embarrassing how many grown ass adults live in these fantasies where people work for some nonsense like the artificial cultures oligarchs manufacture over survival.
I mean this in all seriousness, this is a severely mentally ill & delusional person who not only should be removed from office under the 25th amendment, but he should be in a psych ward. This is pure insanity on so many levels. He lives in a fantasy world. He is unwell & has lost touch with reality.
Last drawing for #DisabilityPrideMonth is Nicolás/Nicholas, who has Down syndrome, from the 2020 Mexican animated film #ACostumeForNicholas! He gets a costume from his mother every year, and in the chest that contains his costumes, he's transported to a magical world #UnDisfrazParaNicolás #MyArt
it’s not something i doom about because i can’t control it anyway, but we are going to be very, very lucky if we make it through this admin without a major mass casualty event
Lindsay Beyerstein@beyerstein.bsky.social · 5d agoThis is a crisis of federalism. Tim Walz is asserting as fact that Iran attacked water infrastructure in Minnesota and several other states. And Trump is saying it's Minnesota's own fault they were attacked as part of a war he started.
Ok BUT Miss Piggy would spend the entire time complaining that she SHOULD be playing Helen.

This is what we should have done with "efficiency experts." From the beginning. Meanwhile they grift agencies and companies for their cash while making everything worse. You want efficiency? Treat employees with dignity and pay them enough to live. They'll do better work when they don't hate you.
The fact that after receiving classified briefings about COVID, Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue downplayed the virus to the public and invested in BODY BAGS should have been a bigger a story.
Bill Grueskin@bgrueskin.bsky.social · 7d agoRunning out of body bags, using forklifts to transfer corpses into makeshift morgues, a mortician conducting 200 funerals in a month when he usually does 30, crematories running at double capacity… And these senators just want to memory-hole it all www.nytimes.com/2020/04/30/n...
Hey.... like we said, age verification laws would be used as excuse to attack queer content, I just didn't expect it to be used this way, but hey more evidence for why you should be against it.
Mike Stabile@mikestabile.bsky.social · 7d agoThe Missouri Attorney General is threatening librarians with arrest over an LGBTQ+ story hour for kids, suggesting that a picture book about gay dinosaur dads is "pornography." The Secretary of State says he'll pull funding if the event happens, citing the state's new age verification law.

Data Centers are not "job creators." They are resource extractors, siphoning off our water and power.
All the posts of (well deserved) praise for "Weird Al" Yankovic for him turning down a $5 million offer to do an ad for alcohol in 1990 keep leaving off a very important piece of information: His friend actor Trinidad Silva was killed by a drunk driver in 1988 during the filming of Al's film "UHF".
Do you know why airlines are so safe? Because we regulate the ever-loving shit out of them. You don't have to like government regulations. They can be annoying. I promise they have saved your life. They happen when people get hurt or die. Every single one is written in blood.
I worked at Disney a while ago. Do you know why theme parks are so safe? Because OOSHA reps can walk the track on any ride at any time and any safety violation they see is a $10,000 fine. Each. Theme parks are not safe because the company cares. They're safe because it's cheaper to comply.
Jon of The North@krauza.bsky.social · last wk.Turns out that food companies were only checking their food because the government told them to, which is exactly why we need government regulations.
Folks, if you live in a state that allows mail-in voting, that state probably also has ballot DROP BOXES. Do not trust the USPS to deliver your vote securely! USE A DROP BOX or vote in person!
