The desperate need to accumulate more and more at the cost of everyone else’s wellbeing should be classified as a mental disorder, and I will absolutely die on this hill.

World Polio Day 2025: A Defining Moment It is time to pull through on efforts to rid the world of polio once and for all.

For #WorldPolioDay, here are five facts about what it will take to #EndPolio it once and for all:

I don’t usually have much of a connection to patriotic iconography, monuments, the flag, etc. generally, but I’ve been surprised by how emotional I feel when I see photos of the demolition. It’s just so disgraceful, wasteful and fundamentally selfish.

Pretty much every goofy-ass defense of nazi tattoos I've seen on here has been a screenshot from X which is one of the clearest signs yet that staying on there desensitizes people to nazi shit. You're gettin pickled in the nazi juice dummies!

It’s so deeply, deeply embarrassing in a way that feels new to me. AI allowing us all to visualize his dumbest, ugliest impulses.

Not to be all "if Biden did this" because the hypocrisy is the point, but people would rightly call for the man to step down if he had done this. And I'm not even talking from a political perspective here.

Really happy I took my son today. He’s too young to understand why it was happening, but he could appreciate the excitement and positivity of the moment.

UNRWA has enough food outside #Gaza to supply people there for 3 months, amid desperate need. Our teams stand ready to deliver it.

But despite the #ceasefire, the Israeli Authorities’ block on UNRWA bringing any supplies into Gaza still continues.

Let us get aid into Gaza at the full scaleΒ needed.

I was a little skeptical about the overall impact of the first No Kings march (even though I participated in it) but credit where it’s due: it’s clearly struck a nerve this time around.

That episode has its issues (pretty much assumed with an Apu-centric story), but it was a real political awakening for me. It’s hard to imagine something so pointed on network TV in this climate.
