wow

I made a promise to the women of Illinois — as governor, I will ensure your medical decisions will be your own.

Anyways, AIDS is going to be gone soon, this is a generic with FDA full approval.

there's an enormous amount of magical thinking going on with these private companies who think they're going to profit from selling the same services they sell today but without any of the raw data and material they've been freely taking advantage of for years

honestly I want so much more media hyping the Union and making the confederates look like dumb losers you should be embarrassed to root for

So, liberal parents who can ground their beliefs in religion (many do) can opt out of:

- abstinence only education
- Baby Olivia videos
- reading Ayn Rand
- any class that talks about Donald Trump or this Supreme Court

This is going to be fun.

(And by "fun" I mean "utter and complete nonsense").

"Invisible Monsters" would make such an interesting movie

The hardest rule of Beltway journalism is that Republican public officials have no agency and bear no responsibility for choices fully within their discretion

the red-faced blowhards have been getting most of the media attention lately, clergy-wise, but we do a rousing business in 5’4” soft-spoken men with the moral force of a sledgehammer here in these United States also

The Atlantic: The Magic Realism of Zohran Mamdani The socialist New York mayoral candidate's proposals don't hold up to serious scrutiny. Will that matter? By Michael Powell

so I have a lot of complicated thoughts about the specific issue at hand, but I have to point out that’s not what “magical realism” is

The rainbow flag draped over a bridge is the symbol of our imperium of liberty. The bigot must forever live under it.

Here, have some genuinely great news: In a unanimous decision, SCOTUS rules in favour of disability protections, and a reasonably low standard of proof for disability-based discrimination.

The God all these people claim to love, said "I am here to set brother against brother and son against father". He said "If your hand makes you sin, cut it off, and if your eye makes you sin, gouge it out; for it is better to enter Paradise maimed than to fall whole into the eternal fire."

especially when you have multiple red states NOW having to beg the fed government for resources

Right? Fundamentally, progressive Iowans need to understand they're the outliers and the electable Dems/progressives are gonna be pretty centrist compared to those in other places.

Is he going to work to strip people's rights away? No? He's already better than every single Republican

I'm so into voters being held more responsible. No more "uwu I'm just a low-info voter I can't be blamed for not knowing anything"

The United States Institute of Peace has been resurrected. Its staff, reinstated by a court ruling on Monday, have taken back their building. It turns out not all DOGE damage is permanent

"what does it mean that the guy who isn't President anymore and didn't run for President last time who recently stopped being President now has cancer" nothing, there is no information from this that is relevant unless you are the former President or his family, it literally does not matter. stop.

The House just passed its budget resolution, so reconciliation is now officially underway. This is their bill to destroy Medicaid and SNAP while cutting taxes disproportionately for the rich.

Thread on what's to come and WHERE TO FIGHT.

Good trouble in Des Moines

I saw a lot of Canadian flags at mine today ❤️
