Uprisings

H5N5 Bird Flu jumping from animal to person for first time is just as devastating to hear as H5N1 Bird Flu jumping to person-to-person transmission. Potential pandemics brewing to add to the ongoing Covid pandemic which is still killing & disabling.

Is this the back to normal you ditched masks for?

NYT headline: Judge Orders Trump Administration to Fully Fund Food Stamps This Month The Justice Department later said it would appeal, leaving the program known as SNAP in limbo.

The Trump administration is now literally *fighting* to deny food to 42 million people, more than a third of them children.

Read that again.

Or SNAP.

And RFK Jr. just walking away -- my other cat. But seriously -- how not to live.

Your cat when you're choking to death in your apartment

Uninstall Grammarly NOW. They've partnered with an AI company and actively scrape your writing to train its models.

And now, a physical metaphor for "LLMs can be just as good as human writers and artists!"

(And I know, I shared it twice. But it's just that nice!)

If your government thinks the Pope “doesn’t know what he’s talking about” when he defends migrants’ dignity, the world should see the warning sign. The US is no longer leading on human rights. It’s suppressing them.

Good things are possible and we don’t have to settle.

EAT SHIT BOOK BANNERS

Until 1964, an employer could refuse to hire someone just for being a woman. Until 1965, it was legal for a doctor to refuse to prescribe birth control for married women. Until 1972, it was legal for a bank to refuse to let a married woman get her own account. Until 1972, it was legal for a doctor to refuse to prescribe birth control for single women. Until 1974, it was legal to refuse to sell a house to a woman. Until 1988, it was legal for landlords to refuse to rent a unit to a woman with children. Your granny didn't stay married because her generation had a stronger moral compass than people today. She stayed because society LITERALLY stole away all her independence. Think about that the next time someone wants to go back to "the good old days". It was only good for men ..... and only for men of a certain demographic, if you catch my meaning. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

Too many today don't realize how recent women's rights and liberation really are. And we're on the cusp of losing it all.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 91st day out of the last 103.

12 days of work in 103 days.

With full pay and benefits.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

The SpEd system in this country is set up in a way that families know they're entitled to certain things but also know they have to fight tooth and nail to get what they deserve.

They're tenacious experienced fighters who'll do anything for their kids. These assholes just sucker punched them all.

"A" paper and "D" paper - good grief. And I do want to see him try a pushup.

Autopen ramblings, now favorite words. "Check the tariff shelf" -- they just "found" $31B?? Ships and "Victory at Sea." I just can't.

Yeah, he kept talking about "men."

Yet he just talked about "men" -- not women. Waiting for them to purge women.

This.

If you don’t remember it: NPR read the charges against the King from the Declaration.

Trump Went to War With the Ivies. Community Colleges Are Being Hit.

the trump administration is selling its war on higher education as a strike against the elites who have disadvantaged ordinary americans. in actuality, the administration is destroying advanced education for *everyone* in pursuit of its effort to deskill the american public

Just saw someone repost this so I thought I'd resurface it for everyone. It's still relevant.

Call your reps and ask them to push back against this

$200 million is enough to provide a year of Housing Choice Vouchers to about 13,000 low-income American families, enabling them to pay their rent & preventing homelessness.

President Trump's 2026 budget proposes slashing housing assistance programs by 44%.

Smithsonian removes Trump from impeachment exhibit in American history museum A temporary placard, on display since 2021, described the president's historic impeachments. Officials said the exhibit was restored to an earlier version following a review of legacy content.

Save hard copies of books. What LLMs don't erase from the internet, fascists will erase from public life. Nothing digital or temporary (like a museum exhibit) is safe. Keep hard copies of history. Slavery. The Holocaust. Civil rights. Everything.

Wingspan is fun -- and the art is beautiful.

Maybe the Trump administration should withhold federal funds from
Donald Trump until he proves he has addressed his antisemitism problem?

Trump’s latest policy announcement is aimed at women voters. It doesn’t stand up This is a ‘concept of a plan’ with no real economic backbone, experts tell Eric Garcia

Hey wait a second: Trump pledged that he would pass a caregiving tax credit during the final leg of the campaign. The One Big, Beautful Act DOES NOT HAVE THAT! He campaigned on that in the final days! I know! I saw him do it in Gastona, NC!

One of the most popular government programs in the history of government programs. The tax preparer service corporate lobby wins again.

Good thing the Democrats spent the last week melting down about Zohran Mamdani winning the NYC mayoral primary because otherwise more Americans might have known that the GOP was planning to fuck them to high hell and that wouldn't have been a good use of their time

oh wait
