“The ‘Othered’ Genocide: Sudan’s Suffering and the World’s Indifference

🔥 @RepJoeNeguse: “Most of 🇺🇸 will find this REPUGNANT. These senators are guaranteeing themselves million-dollar paydays.”

Bipartisan horror at @SenatorHagerty & @MarshaBlackburn’s greedy money grab snuck inside the funding bill— rewarding themselves for getting investigated.

Your employees showed up to work today after eight weeks of work from home. But that one file has been sitting on their desk in the US House of Representatives the whole time. The file marked Epstein.

The guy who literally survived a stroke because of accessible healthcare now parrots GOP talking points that healthcare is extreme. Fuck off, Fetterman.

Raskin: If this were to pass, this astounding provision would give eight Republican senators a personal payday of at least a million dollars each, paid for by the U.S. Taxpayers at a time when we are throwing millions of people off of their health care…

Snopes fact-check article titled “No, doctors weren’t warning about new ‘COVID-25’ strain with ‘very different signs’.” Subheading reads, “Different strains of the COVID-19 virus sometimes come with symptoms that are specific to them.” Below, a woman wrapped in a blue blanket sneezes into a tissue, illustrating illness.

"Different strains of the COVID-19 virus sometimes come with symptoms that are specific to them"

Two new SARS-CoV-2 strains circulated in 2025:

“Nimbus” (NB.1.8.1) causing a “razor blade throat,” and “Stratus” (XFG) causing a “persistent dry cough” and spreading much faster due to immune evasion.

No it’s important to listen to this. Because then you understand that many of them will do ANYTHING to keep power. Remember Musk got involved in the 2024 election after saying to Tucker “if she wins” I am definitely going to prison.

So we need to move knowing that nothing is off the table for them.

A monster who inflicts this on the world is not peaceful, FIFA.

Trump’s ICE goons dragged a childcare worker out of a bilingual daycare and preschool in front of children and parents.

This is who Trump claims is the “worst of the worst” — a woman who has dedicated her life to educating and caring for children.

The cruelty is the point.

Defining picture of this president.

Walmart and McDonald’s are among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps.

McDonald's CEO raked in $18.2M last year — over 1,000x the company's median employee pay.

Walmart's CEO pocketed $27.4M — 930x the company's median employee pay.

See the problem?

Andrew Eric Starkey (@mtlc83) on Threads Jeff Bezos paid $50M for a wedding. He just got a $16B tax break. He laid off 60k people. And you’re furious about a kid getting a free school lunch.

I don't resent poor people who use food stamps to buy another soft drink.

I resent rich people who take away the funds for food stamps to buy another yacht.
