James, not Jim (He/Him)

Chemical castration of autistic children leads to the downfall of Dr. Mark Geier One of the most persistent myths is one that's been particularly and doggedly resistant to evidence, science, clinical trials, epidemiology, and reason. It's also a myth that I've been writing about a

Just in case you didn't think RFK Jr's obsession with #autism was of a eugenic persuasion. David Geier is Kennedy's top guy on this, and if you don't know Geier's background, here you go.

Donald Trump's Executive Order Restores White Supremacy The whitest executive order of all time is a perfect example of how fascism starts.

That would be awesome. I'm not on Threads anymore and miss your posts there.

Disney plays both sides of that. IIRC, their Florida division prioritizes GOP support while their California division supports more Democrats.

That and their CEO failed to speak out quickly against Florida's “Don't Say Gay” law. He only came out against it under massive public pressure, and was eventually fired.

Are You Tired of the Whining Yet? Trump's attacks on democracy are also an assault on the ears...

“I do whine because I want to win, and I'm not happy about not winning, and I am a whiner, and I keep whining and whining until I win.”

Donald Trump, 2015 (on CNN)

A screenshot of Larry Middleman from the TV series 𝘈𝘳𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘋𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘭𝘰𝘱𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵. Larry is wearing a dark blue ballcap emblazoned with the word “SURROGATE” and a phone headset, similar to Trump's red MAGA hat and phone headset in the photo from the original post. In 𝘈𝘳𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘋𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘭𝘰𝘱𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵, Larry Middleman acts as a surrogate for convicted felon George Bluth, similar to Donald Trump, who acts as a surrogate for Russia's Vladimir Putin.

I don't know, but that look is giving Larry Middleman. I guess he's Putin's surrogate so it makes sense.

🪦 New Yorkers are in front of the New York Stock Exchange for a mass die-in to symbolize how these devastating cuts will destroy families & take lives.

Deep spending cuts to programs like healthcare, food assistance, and education is a matter of life & death for millions.

I overslept the totality but was able to get this around 4 a.m.

There's a theory that Disney made a Hillary Clinton animatronic in 2016 and had to rush to change it to Trump. I believe it.

I'm skeptical. Is this real?

Congressional Democrats are the political equivalent of pro wrestlers. They don't want to fight for real, but they sure pretend like they want to.

10 Dems voted to censure Rep. Green. Jeffries and other senior Dem leaders called Reps and Senators who protested in the joint session into a meeting to scold them. Senior Dems are working for Trump now.

TIL Amtrak is public transportation

One surefire way to thwart an authoritarian or fascist government is to be ungovernable

Dems in both houses should have stood with Rep. Green and shouted. They can't remove them all.

I don't want the old America back. I want a new America. People already chose Trump's version over the old version. Why would we go back to that? We need a new path forward if we're going to win hearts and minds.

Pro tip

Yep. Time to stop trying to get the old America back and start charting a new path forward.

This was in France but still cool

Can they at least rescind accreditation, membership, or otherwise recognition of state bars?
