A deadly shooting at the CDC shook its scientists. Now they want answers from RFK Jr. CDC Director Susan Monarez convened an online all-hands meeting of the agency division that focuses on vaccines, and employees called out Kennedy’s rhetoric specifically.

Exclusive: CDC Director Susan Monarez met with its vaccine-focused center to talk about yesterday’s shooting. I listened to a recording. Scientists and officials are shaken & pointing fingers at RFK Jr. Many said his vilification and misinfo turned them into targets. www.msnbc.com/opinion/anal...

democrats are going to be dealing with anti-trans hate until they either

- nut the fuck up and defend these people from bigoted attacks

- concede to every republican attack on the issue, inevitably leading to the total eradication of trans people from all public life

literally the only 2 options

The memecoin grifters may be manipulators able to change their way to sex, but the dildo stuff is absolutely symptomatic of the broader misogyny that makes the average bro a poor partner to women/femmes.

And there may be other factors at work with dude "loneliness," but misogyny undergirds it.

the tyranny of boys who've never been punched in the face

If you need to smile today, think about Andrew Cuomo and Alan Dershowitz believing anyone is on their side.

The CEO of a a multi-trillion dollar company went to the White House, openly handed the US president a gift made of gold, and his company got a special exemption to tariffs the president has illegally imposed.

Also, the Founders took bribery so seriously the Constitution bans it 3 separate times.

There's probably a French word for what I experienced reading his posts today, but this version of Andrew Cuomo is what Trump would've sounded like for the last ten years had people in positions of power shut him out of public life instead of enabling him.

Oh, are the lines why they're having a bad time visiting? Is that the problem?

Green Dildo Coin. An amount spent on masked thugs and themed concentration camps that could house and feed every homeless person in America. Cage fights on a paved-over White House lawn. It really all boils down to losers who want to replace our society with a different one that just fucking sucks.

Anyone who belongs to any minority group needs to be aware that what is being done to trans people can and will be done to them. In a decade we have been stripped of our rights to exist in public spaces by a press campaign and a well funded lobby.

"We're all throwing dildos at women athletes to promote our memecoin" really puts a fine point on not just how sexist, mean and stupid so much of right now is, but also the grim degree to which we're just inundated with Stuff a 15-Year-Old Dipshit Would Think is Cool. A confederacy of Beavises.

It's not meant to disrespect women athletes. It's just a fucking stupid and disrespectful thing that we, a bunch of shitheads, are only doing at the workplace of women athletes.

"We don't believe in erasing American history—we honor it," says the guy working for the government that mandated that the website for the Stonewall National Monument erase all mentions of the word "transgender."

This is the thing! Another thing is that, you know, a lot of life, most of it, is uncomfortable and/or unfair and/or a pain in the dupa. That's...life! It just is! We can have compassion for ourselves and each other about that, and should, but the best way around "...uch, annoying" is through, sorry

Aside from the part about other countries being laughably untrue, the biggest proponent of woo woo bullshit in America right now is Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., a man who was born with a platinum spoon in his mouth and a concierge doctor on call.

What a fun read! (and ftr a big part of the staying power is that HBO ran it umpteen times a day one summer) www.indiewire.com/features/int...

Helen Slater, one of the many HBO aunts and uncles who raised me. Fair is fair!

this work saved millions of lives in 2021, won the Nobel Prize in 2023, and is cancelled in 2025

On this Chairteenth, we celebrate the good folks of Montgomery, especially our guy AquaMayne. Special shout out to the folks who, within 72 hours, recreated this in their apartment complex. A COMMUNITY!! 💀

every writeup of some AI cheerleader makes them come across as the biggest assholes in tech which if u know anything about tech is quite a fuckin achievement

As end-of-empire scenarios go it is so much more dignified to get your capital city sacked by the Visigoths than to have a bunch of illiterate rich people in their 70s doing it through a series of incomprehensible tantrums because their brains were defeated by their phones.

Imagine being the most embarrassing alumnus of a show that produced Puck. bsky.app/profile/poli...

“Scumbag” is a protected class now

"trans women are taking over women's sports! Protect women's sports!"

Ok w/o googling...Name 10 cis women athletes (can't use Serena, CC, Sabrina, Angel Reese, or Simone Biles). Now name 10 pro women's teams. Now name 10 trans women athletes (can't use Fallon Fox or Lia Thomas).
