Every single day, someone in MAHA demands that scientists do something that violates the ethical principles that resulted directly from the exposure of the Tuskegee study.

The only hope of uniting this country is in our shared hatred of health insurance companies. We should lean into that.

I would love to see an absolute shitstorm massive blowup in kindness. Like... a pandemic of niceness. A massive worldwide effort to do multiple kind things for strangers and neighbors and family every day. A trend so big it takes over social media and makes even the right wing news take notice.

There's no excuse for the Vice President of the United States to use a heinous killing as an occasion to baselessly frame political opponents as accomplices to murder while threatening to use the power of the government to attack them.

This dangerous rhetoric will only fan the flames.

"Trump's tariffs have created a drop in sales of various agricultural exports, including soybeans. Data shows the US is losing out on billions of dollars in purchases from China, which spent over $3 billion on soybeans in the second quarter of 2024. So far China has spent $0 this year."

ONLY MASS VACCINATION WILL SAVE KIDSβ€”Cases of Hepatitis B in kids and teens dropped 99% in the 1990s only after the CDC recommended universal vaccination at birth. Trump/RFK Jr now wants to reverse that, despite hard lessons from 1980s that casual vax wasn’t enough. www.statnews.com/2025/09/11/n...

If we’re going to get serious about ending this horrific political violence then let’s get serious. Your friend and our friends were both gunned down this year by madmen, Mr. President. This cannot be ok.

Very empty flight heading from London to NYC. Have never seen it this empty before. Probably due to the US being a dumpster fire.

Very empty flight heading from London to NYC. Have never seen it this empty before. Probably due to the US being a dumpster fire.

This was my flight approximately 2 weeks ago heading back to NYC from London.

It was less than half empty when they told us that boarding was complete.

I guess people really aren’t coming to the US like they used to…

Of note: I’ve taken this flight before and I’ve never seen it this empty!

Americans have been duped.

Every other advanced country has universal healthcare, universal education, paid family leave, paid maternity leave, at least 6 weeks paid vacation, living wages, and a commitment to green energy.

That’s how you make America great.
