I dream of living in a world where flooding your friends' social media posts with "jokes" about sexual assault actually set off alarms *before* the person did a shooting...

Wealth taxes NOW.

It’s patriotic to do your part and fund society for the workers you exploit in order to get this rich.

James Dobson Is Dead, Was A Monster | Defector James Dobson was a nasty dude. He liked to beat children and dogs with a belt and to rain misery and punishment on the vulnerable; we know all of this about him because he said as much in public,…

Trends in US Children’s Mortality, Chronic Conditions, Obesity, Functional Status, and Symptoms This study aims to determine how US children’s health has been changing from 2007 to 2023 using multiple data collection methods and a comprehensive set of health indicators.

I heard this study being discussed on NPR a few weeks ago, I wonder how they intersect: jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

Homemade Life board game with homemade playing cards

My 8-year-old made their own version of the game Life, and it's way more accurate than the original. The path is convoluted. The rules change on a whim (but always in favor of the game's creator). The real estate is outlandishly expensive. The jobs pay either $9K or $999,999K. The goal is unclear.

And yes, Derrick Van Orden is the one who told Punchbowl "We're not a bunch of little bitches around here, okay?" #WI03

Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the secretary of Health and Human Services, and Brooke Rollins, secretary of Agriculture, have suggested that bird flu virus should be left to "rip" through poultry farms across the U.S. — but experts warn that this approach could hasten the beginning of a new pandemic

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott vetoes summer lunch program for low-income kids

Entitled Child Expects To Eat Lunch Every Day

Does it not start with cooked chicken?!?

World War 3 kinda sucks, but you know, it was either this or pronouns

I mean, I know these guys dodge taxes, but does he really not know about the IRS?

for all of the praise of law enforcement we've seen since Saturday, it's now clear cops had at least two opportunities to prevent Vance Boelter from murdering Melissa Hortman and her husband but failed to do so.

Seeing all the protests and voices today and over the past 6 months is a reminder that the right won by a sliver. Dems take note. The country did NOT shift right so you shouldn’t either!

The New York Times front page.

I'm sorry but the largest protest of my lifetime is not the 7th or 8th biggest news story in the country behind "what does Gen Z want from Instagram?" This shit is humiliating. Rearrange your layout to meet this moment. Omitting the thing happening in every American city is malpractice.

Especially if you're on the fence about it, protest today. Fascism is isolating and lonely. Its very goal is to make you feel like you're the only person unwilling to accept a cult of personality. On days like today you fully realize there are more of us than there are them. You will feel better.

I’ll be in Menomonie for Pride this afternoon. Say hi if you see me!

3. "ICE agents are wearing masks as an intimidation tactic."

I think it's the other way around. THEY are intimidated because they don't want their identies known.

Mostly because they know all decent people regard their actions as evil, and they don't want their spouses/kids to face that disgust.

Joni Ernst says “we’re all gonna die” so we shouldn’t worry about Medicaid. Easy to say when YOU get taxpayer-funded health care, Joni.

As a US Senator, she enjoys top-level private insurance that’s 70–75% subsidized by you and me.

Her cost for a family plan? Approx $250/mo.

(She earns $174K/yr)

Did your room have a bowling alley?

I'm telling you, that "they did the best they could" being unraveled by one question "did they show grace to others that they didn't show their children " has healed me

Palestinians gunned down while trying to reach food aid site in Gaza, hospital says Witnesses say Israeli forces opened fire on people near distribution point run by Israel-backed foundation More than 20 people were killed on Sunday as they went to receive food at an aid distribution point set up by an Israeli-backed foundation in the Gaza Strip, according to a hospital run by the Red Cross that received the bodies.

Anyone who wants to honestly report on estrangement should recognize HOW SMALL the things are we’re requesting of our parents. There’s a bunch of these in the comments here. Like “please be 10% less hostile to me” is all that many of us need to come back to the table.

That’s amazing!

That sucks! It’s been several years for me, and I honestly feel less confused than ever about myself. Creating distance was hard, but the distance has given me so much capacity to figure out my own needs.
