We live in a sad time when the CDC is no longer a credible source of scientific information. We need as many credible sources as possible in this absolutely stupid timeline.

I hate this country.

Also WHY IS EVERYONE CAPITULATING TO THESE IDIOTS??

A painting of a bird beside the text "i'm fuckin exhausted from being angry all the time"

This deal to reopen the government is fucking disgraceful.

Tens of millions will lose their healthcare. Trump will be emboldened.

This is exactly what’s wrong with Democratic Party leadership and why we need more people in Congress who will actually hold the line.

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?

OpenAI pirated large numbers of books and used them to train models.

OpenAI then deleted the dataset with the pirated books, and employees sent each other messages about doing so.

A lawsuit could now force the company to pay $150,000 per book, adding up to billions in damages.

Did you know that the GOP Congress has worked less than 20 days since July?

Yet we’re still paying their full salary.

Zohran Mamdani ran on freezing the rent in NYC.

Abigail Spanberger ran on supporting fired federal workers and lowering the cost of living in VA.

Mikie Sherrill ran on lowering utility bills in NJ.

Ensuring people can afford to live a decent life is the path forward.

I feel like America is the way it is because not enough white men got punched in the face when they deserved it.

The image is an X post by Acyn (@Acyn ) from 13 hours ago, quoting Pritzker: "He's saying that Chicago is a war zone. None of that is true. They're just making this up. And then what do they do? They fire tear gas and smoke grenades, and they make it look like it's a war zone." The post includes a screenshot from CNN's "State of the Union" showing two individuals discussing, with a chyron indicating DHS officers fired at a driver who rammed their vehicle, later determined to be someone trying to storm the Presidential Palace, as the South Caucasus Coalition.

This is like planting evidence and then making an arrest.

Photo of two X posts. The first post by Asha Rangappa (@asharangappa_bs ...) from 20 hours ago states: "I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. I know we are 'used to it' but it is absolutely insane." The post includes a profile picture and a verification badge. The second post by George Conway (@...) from 11 hours ago is a quote of the first post, featuring emojis (fist, U.S. flag, fire) and a profile picture.

This is what Trumpism has wrought.

CTA Red Line Extension funding frozen as Trump administration withholds $2.1 billion from Chicago Two major Chicago transit projects are in jeopardy after the White House froze $2.1 billion in federal funding over an investigation into racial preferences in contracting.

At a time when federal agents are sowing chaos in Chicago, the Trump administration is holding bipartisan funding hostage.

It’s attempting to score political points but is instead hurting our economy and the hardworking people who rely on public transit to get to work or school.

Photo of an X post by FactPost (@factpostnews ) stating: "Republicans are postponing the swearing-in of Adelita Grijalva, the newest Democrat elected to Congress. Her day one promise was to be the tie-breaking vote to release the Epstein files." The post includes two images: on the left, a smiling Adelita Grijalva wearing a denim jacket and necklace, and on the right, a person with blonde hair being sworn in, with another individual adjusting their tie. The post features a profile picture and verification badge.

It’s the Epstein files shutdown.

@netflix.com if you cave to Musk's anti-trans bullshit, I'm canceling my subscription. I'd encourage everyone to follow suit.

It worked for Kimmel.

Elon Musk Leads Campaign To Force Netflix To Remove Shows With Trans Characters Musk's posts have been seen by tens of millions of users, and many conservatives are now attempting to force Netflix into a removal of LGBTQ+ content.

It's 90 degrees in fucking northern Illinois, and its almost October...

YouTube video by Hank Green This Autism Stat Makes No Sense

In case anyone needs this or needs to show this to an ignorant relative: youtu.be/BdpSfrD3Nzs?...

Put Jimmy Kimmel back on the air, you nazi cowards.

This is a fair point.

There’s only one person he cares about.

It’s almost like there’s a pattern we should watch for more carefully.

My, my, my. How the tone has changed.

Kirk's life won't matter until trans lives do. Fuck him and everyone who defends him. 🏳️‍⚧️

This is * chef’s kiss *

Does anyone know is this true?

Finding bought-out politicians in the halls of Congress..

Post from Donald Trump on Truth Social: A really deadly weekend in Chicago. 6 dead, 27 hurt in crime sprees all over the city. Panic stricken Governor Pritzker says that crime is under control, when in fact it is just the opposite. He is an incompetent governor who should call me for help. Mayor Johnson is no better. Make Chicago great again!

According to federal data, 13 of the top 20 cities in homicide rates have Republican governors. None of those cities are Chicago.

8 of the top 10 states in homicide rates are led by Republicans. None of those states are Illinois.

And yet Trump is sending troops here.

Hi authors! Please remember to file a claim!

I've seriously considered this whole issue of the "Gen Z stare" and I've come to the conclusion that release the Epstein Files.
