Character in the @cheriepriest.com novel I'm reading: "Okay, that's a relief. I'm not actually worried about getting murdered by deer."

Me: Good thing you're not in a @tkingfisher.com novel instead

Any Democratic votes to fund DHS later this month as Minneapolis is being terrorized by DHS is going to be a major slap in the face to Americans living here. Demand major reforms or shut the government down.

Screenshot of a NewsWire post on X displaying a headline stating that U.S. vaccination rates are declining and that no county in Idaho, Louisiana, Oregon, Tennessee, Utah, or Wisconsin has reached kindergarten herd immunity. The headline cites The Washington Post and appears on a plain background without an accompanying photo.

This is absolutely appalling. The US is going to be a breeding ground for preventable diseases. Children will die and many more will be permanently disabled - needlessly - as a result of the backwards health policies of our government.

Friendly reminder that Starbucks baristas are still on strike and still asking you to support them by not patronizing *any* Starbucks in the US.

Try a new place! Get a home coffeemaker and a thermos that will pay for themselves with all the Starbucks you won't be buying! Don't cross picket lines!

RFK Jr: It's gonna be the biggest infusion of federal dollar into rural healthcare in American history

BERNIE SANDERS: Yeah. You know why? Because you're cutting $150b for rural hospitals, you're putting $50b back. That's not an infusion. That's a loss of $100b.

Warnock to RFK jr: "For the first time, we are seeing deaths of children from measles. We haven't seen that in two decades. We're seeing that under your watch. You are a hazard to the health of the American people."

Note to self. When you have several people applying for the same job...don't hire the one who is a heroin addict, has had part of their brain eaten by a worm...and is artificially the color of an old penny that's been sitting in the back of a desk drawer for 40 years. Just don't.

More than 1,000 HHS workers demand RFK Jr. resign in new letter "Kennedy's actions are compromising the health of this nation," the Wednesday letter reads.

RFK Jr has taken a chainsaw to American public health and undermined the mission of HHS. It's no surprise the patriots who still believe in that mission are calling on him to resign.

He is a danger to Americans' health. He should be fired immediately.

Dude, you knew he was a vaccine-denying piece of shit whose plan was to dismantle the public health apparatus in the US when you confirmed him, don't try the "shocked, shocked" act now

People on the Left want the Epstein Files released, and we don't care who is on it.
We want all predators, rapists, and human traffickers to face accountability, no matter what party they belong to.

The Right?

Four panel cartoon. First panel has female presenting white person with long dark hair, glasses and a green shirt saying “today we are going to learn about insurance!”  Second panel has woman talking to the edge of a brown desk, with bubble that reads “hey insurance, I am injured and I need some of that money I give you for in case I get injured.” Third panels is the woman sitting at a desk with a nameplate reading “insurance.” She wears a black top hat and a gold necklace with a dollar sign, and piles of bags with dollar signs on them are behind her. The bubble above her head says “no.” The fourth panel has the woman back to regular dress saying “and that is how insurance works!”

Ouch…

Finished reading THE ENCHANTED GREENHOUSE by @sarahbethdurst.bsky.social and it was *exactly* what I needed. Especially the head librarian's words about choosing empathy and kindness.

I loved it. Thank you so much, kind author.

I have never seen so many public servants protest the mismanagement of a government. Trumpists will point to this as proof of the deep state, but the reality is that these are professionals who are desperately trying to get the public to understand how bad things are.

Virginia Giuffre's family: "The content of these transcripts is in direct contradiction with felon Ghislaine Maxwell's conviction for child sex trafficking. During DAG Todd Blanche's bizarre interview, she is never challenged about her court-proven lies, providing her a platform to rewrite history."

THANK YOU FOR WATCHING THE LYING LIARS & NEWS STINKERS OF FOX "NEWS" SO WE DON'T HAVE TO! IT IS VERY MUCH APPRECIATED BY THOSE OF US WHO VALUE HONESTY, INTEGRITY & DECENCY WHILE ALLOWING US TO CONSUME ACTUAL FACTS WITHOUT THEIR BRAINWASHING TECHNIQUES & ABILITY TO TRIGGER BOUTS OF VIOLENT NAUSEA. 🤮

That was one of the most batshit press conferences of Trump's public life. He brandished a photo of Putin and promised to deploy the US military to occupy Chicago, New York, and San Francisco. A sane country would be moving toward impeachment and removal right now.

Newsom: We can’t do things the way we’ve done. Let’s disabuse ourselves of that.

The Democratic Party needs to assert itself. We need to be strong again. Strength matters. People want conviction. They want character. They want a sense of intention and purpose…
