This isn’t a common topic for me, but I am going through a rough time with some pretty serious medical issues. I am starting to see that our insurance system doesn’t just “delay, deny, defend”… they actively impact HOW medical professionals practice. Expertise stifled for profit. #underinsured

Elon a few weeks ago: “Empathy is a weakness of western civilization.”

Elon in the F.O. Stage: “Why does the left hate me? I thought Democrats were the party of empathy.”

How many of the people screaming about “protecting women’s sports” have ever been to a women’s sports event beyond one their daughter played in? How many could name 3 WNBA teams? 1 pro fast pitch softball team? It’s just another spectacle to hang their bigotry on. Period.

For the 1000th time… Introversion isn’t shyness. Thanks for coming to my TED Talk.

He could say, “I am Hitler. I am a fascist.” MAGA will just say, “It’s not fascism because you don’t like it.”

How can people think that the nation that entered WW2 before us, and birthed ice hockey, are a bunch of pushover?

I support, affirm, love, and will fiercely defend trans people. I no longer care to play with the “define a woman” and bathroom arguments. I will fight for my trans sisters, brothers, and others. Period. #transrights #humanrights

Sometimes I feel like this has to be an experiment to see how much bullshit he has to pull before his supporters get wise. “We’re slashing frivolous spending at USAID. And also, we’re giving 80 million in new contract to Elon, and buying 400mil in armored Teslas.” Face, meet palm.

Curious is anyone knows… how much of what DOGE has “uncovered” was already available via a FOIA request? #doge #elon

Now watch carefully what happens in American schools. The right built the lie for years that schools were indoctrinating kids. They said schools should not teach ideology. But we are stating to see the push for their ideologies to be pushed into curricula.

Fuck yeah, Lincoln Heights.

It’s hard to stand on principles, but if I am the enemy that JD Vance says I am, simply because I teach, then so be it. I won’t bend to tyrants who do not want the inconvenience of truth.

Something that gives me some grounding is the fact that Trump won by a smaller margin this time than in 2016. Rather than focusing on his emboldened supporters, remember that even a few of them changing course wins in the long run.

Hilarious that so many fellow Americans concluded long ago that Canada, the country that entered WW2 before us, and invented ice hockey, had no fight in them. Glad to see the Maple Leaf rising up. #canyouadoptme

All of the anti-DEI moves are a smokescreen. Trump is trying to take complete power, to dismantle and privatize the government for the benefit of his cronies. DEI is bread and circus for his supporters, so they don’t see his motives.

Will that tide ever turn, though?

These dummies put stickers on gas pumps on day one of Biden’s term.

But also, we don’t have to take the high road. Mob them in comment sections. Laugh at them. Don’t wince at their barbs. Robert’s Rules of Order aren’t something a bully fears. Call them out for the fascists, racists, sexists, homophobes (etc.) that they are.

Keep speaking up. Our opponents are a bully mob, and want our self-imposed silence. They have name calling and straw man arguments. We have truth.

Even if we could find iron-clad, irrefutable evidence that it was stolen, then what? His supporters certainly won’t accept it. The Repub. Congress won’t accept it. SCOTUS won’t accept it. It’s a lost cause, IMO.

Half of the SK population can’t foment armed revolt on behalf of their cult leader. But the sentiment is correct here.

Of course he is. But not at this exaggerated angle. Many commenting here that this is doctored, and posted the original photo.

Right? It sucks to have to put qualifiers on everything. But I totally understand and sympathize/empathize with the feelings people have.

If you see someone cheating on an exercise at physical therapy, no you didn’t. #snitchesgetangrylooks

It’s also refreshing to have some honest dialogue. I got assassinated with downvotes on Reddit for asking this.

Wouldn’t put it past him.

MAGA just pounces on these types of things. Gah!

Ah. Great catch. Thanks.

It’s just that in this photo they seem to be at the exact same angle. But the horizon is flat, so… dunno. I just feel hyper vigilant because MAGA pounce on this type of thing.

Is it possible this is edited? Melania and the Airman behind him seem to be leaning also.

Honest question, not support for T-bag.
