On this terrible day among terrible days I thought I'd share a reminder of the beauty that still lives all around us. Sending love and strength out to everyone fighting the good fight, whichever part of it you have made yours.

We are illegally at war w/ Iran bc 47 r@ped kids & is scared to face any consequences & he won't win the midterms & will be impeached

Trump described his attack as “massive and ongoing” bc it’s a deflection in an attempt to save his own ass

Pray for our military being led by an incompetent admin

TRUTH 🤬🤬🤬

I pay taxes so they can bomb Iran to try to make us stop paying attention to the Trump Epstein files but my patients will be kicked off food stamps and Medicaid because a basic safety net is immoral and wasteful. Every time I think I can't be more enraged, they prove me wrong. Image fr The Guardian

The morally bankrupt Trump administration has partnered with another morally bankrupt authoritarian to declare an unprovoked war on Iran, already killing scores of civilians.

We need an immediate vote from Congress on a War Powers Resolution. Then articles of impeachment.

Great. Another war from the corrupt criminal orange monster who bludgeoned his way to being "given" someone else's Nobel Peace prize. He deserves the inferno prize.

So I parked at work this morning and half a dozen chickens come running over to my car like they're expecting a snack. I've never fed feral chickens ever. 🤣

Why don’t u be quiet i was told in 2016; trump will never win and u are not supposed to be political

Shush I was told in 2017 during metoo, change will come for the academic centers and hospitals but u don’t want it to blow back on your career

2018, dont speak out, we will hire a diversity czar

What RFK Jr.’s CDC Doesn’t Want You to Know The CDC is withholding critical information about vaccine-preventable diseases from the American public. Why?

Reminder: #VaccinesSaveLives and RFK Jr is trying to make money off of the backs of innocent kids.

Just a reminder to get involved in local politics as a way to fight back on some of the terrible stuff coming from the feds. Give testimony, talk to your state reps and senators, speak up. It matters!

Finally leaving the hospital after three very long days at max census. Beats seven days straight but I'm still soooo tired

Possibly only funny to doctors but what kind of a company name is this

Help save baby Juan Nicolas’s life! Please call Dilley Detention Center at 830-378-6500 (as soon as you hear the recorded greeting press zero and you’ll get a receptionist.)

Then call your members of Congress at 202-224-3121

Came here to say this

Yes. Totally true. Or quick 1-2 posts rather than a thread that's basically an essay.

I often think about writing useful threads and then my day fills up with tasks and responsibilities and deadlines and then I just don't actually do it. Everything is so exhausting these days.

Thank you for fighting back and standing for what's right no matter how much gaslighting they throw at the American people

Omg I cannot even

There is no way Senate Dems should vote for DHS funding while Republicans are threatening to nationalize elections and Trump is threatening to do it by executive order. ICE reforms are no longer enough. Their authoritarianism must be fought with every legislative lever available.

Article by Jason Berlin from Field Team 6's weekly newsletter about registering more Democrats to end fascism.

Whistle Beats Gun.

ICE is pulling out of Minneapolis. A huge win. Democracy beats fascism. Love beats hate. Whistle beats gun.

Fascism will end at the ballot box. Help @fieldteam6.org register more Democrats so we'll be ready to take back the House & the Senate in November!

Two hands shaking

Look at who’s shaking hands. 🤝 A candidate’s endorsements aren't just PR; they're a roadmap of their true priorities. When you see who is funding and backing the campaign, you see exactly which interests will have a seat at the table. 🗳️✨

BlueVoterGuide.org has your candidates' endorsements.

I don't know about you, but I can't wait to see what SNL does with that #PamBondi hearing. The skits literally write themselves

Wouldn’t be surprised if MPLS continues to be plagued by the same types of guys that have continued to cause a ruckus here in LA and the surrounding area—familiarize yourself with the Special Response Team patches and camo. They’re grade-A assholes, *in addition to* the local feds who stick around

Dear Pam Bondi, (A Letter From A Father) Dear Ms Bondi,

This, from @johnpavlovitz.bsky.social, is really perfect. open.substack.com/pub/johnpavl...

Another instance of a center director acting unilaterally to overrule other staff (which here also involved ignoring FDA's previous statements to the company).

As @reshmagar.bsky.social and I have argued, the bar should be much higher for such unilateral action:

Nothing more pro-life or more pro-child than spreading measles at an anti-abortion rally

Cool Bluesky posting tip:

When you’re creating a post on here, you can delete the string of characters for a link after the link auto-populates (the image fills in).

Same for manual QP links.

It keeps the link intact but makes for a cleaner visual and gives you more characters to write above it.
