Whooping cough is a horrible way to die. An infant can’t breathe. Kentucky had 3 infants die from whooping cough in November 2025. All unvaccinated. This is the legacy of RFK jr as well as Senators Cassidy and Tillis.

Reddit post from Inside-Specialist-55 in r/povertyfinance: "I have always went here when things were bad. This year our family could not afford anything nice for christmas dinner so we turned to a local church food bank. I have never seen the line this long at this food bank, This is 4x the size of every previous year. We have only been to this one 4 times since 2017 but this year the line wraps around the building a second time to the left behind those rows of cars. Everyone is freezing and an older lady in line had to be taken inside because she looked like she was about to pass out from being too cold and shivering. If this is a sign that America isnt doing well IDK what is. I am in a small town in Kentucky with a population of less than 4,800 people. Literally 10% or more of the county residents are here. This is insane."

If you've ever been to a naturalization ceremony, you know they're filled with people whose palpable love of this country is twenty times stronger than the pinched "patriotism" of any native-born MAGA chud.

Just unspeakable assholery.

If only Bill Cassidy had been in a position to prevent this.

“And then they made him a fake trophy because he kept whining and moaning and wouldn’t STFU.”

Such hateful, petty, bigoted trash bags. Their hate will never erase the history she made.

What a moving tribute to an extraordinary man. Sending sympathy for your loss.

The foreign-born fraction of the US population was 15% in 1890, and in 1910. America thrived.

That fraction is 16% now.

The difference is that in 1890/1910, >96% of immigrants were from Europe or Canada. Today that's less than 10%.

It's best to be honest about one one is actually afraid of.

I swear maybe once a decade in public, and this is the moment. This fucking racist and all the gibbering racists nodding along behind him are the ruination of our country. Our fucking job for the next fucking year is to fucking destroy them in the next election. Fuck them.

Democratic politicians need to stop accepting Trump’s white nationalist premise that immigration is bad and proudly and loudly make a positive case for why America’s identity and history as a nation of immigrants is so important.

The stream's language is older than silence.
It threads through the green tangle,
past the fallen and the standing,
the dead feeding the living.
I kneel to drink
and taste glaciers,
taste time,
taste the cold truth:
the forest does not need me,
I need this.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ #photography #patagonia

Pete Hegseth says he’s going to court-martial me for saying the same exact thing he said 9 years ago. What changed for Pete? Well to start, he spends all day thinking about how he can suck up to Trump. When Trump says jump, he says how high.

When a judge issues an order in any case, that is literally the law in that particular matter

Full stop

It can be appealed, reversed, stayed or amended-but until that happens (if it ever does), all parties MUST follow the ruling

So-Kristi Noem just admitted to contempt

There must be consequences

REMINDER: President Biden NEVER cut SNAP payments, never even had a government shutdown.

In fact, he cut child poverty in half.
He cut child hunger, too.

I miss having a REAL President.

Anyone who goes through an MRI without knowing the reason is incapable of making decisions for the United States for a *variety* of reasons.

A fair question. 😕🇺🇸

Woman deported from Maryland shown on video being dragged in Ghana Rabbiatu Kuyateh was detained this summer at her annual ICE check-in, her son said. She moved to the D.C. area 30 years ago as she fled civil war in Sierra Leone.

🧵This 58-year-old nurse from Maryland is seen being violently dragged along the ground by officials in Ghana.

Trump deported her there.

This abhorrent & disgusting abuse of a woman who saved American lives and cared for injured and ill Americans for 30 years.

All the details below are worse.

A sub-field of science looks at whether the Atlantic ocean circulation #AMOC has weakened. Direct measurements suggest yes but only started in 2004. So people look at temperature and salinity data.

Behind First Nations headdresses: What you should know | CBC News What is the significance of the headdress and who should be allowed to wear one?

www.cbc.ca/news/indigen...

Love so many of your posts but this one misses the mark on so many levels. Today is a day of mourning for Indigenous People, continent-wide. Secondly, our clothing, our traditional regalia - reduced to "costuming" however well-meaning, just misses the mark as well. Research more - do better, yakoke.

I admire you and your posts, and, I respectfully suggest you educate yourself about the role and meaning of Indigenous headdresses. These are sacred and political items that have been banned, stolen, and trivialized as "costume." Please reconsider this particular photo to illustrate your message.
