Rewatching Stranger Things in preparation for the new season and this senior basketball player turned anti satanism preacher is such a young Republican. Really hits different these days πŸ₯²

A large (maybe 3 feet wide by 5 feet tall) sign on the end of a row of bookshelves that tells the β€œaddress” of books that have sensitive content.

Sometimes I think it’s going to be the librarians who will save us all.

Art. I of the Constitution gives Congress the power to make rules and regulations for the armed forces β€” including codes of discipline and strictures against following illegal orders. You can’t punish members of Congress for articulating those rules. Also protected by Speech and Debate Clause.

If you see them, tends to be black sedans and SUVs with tinted windows this is the hotline that will take it from there.

There are 50,000 food insecure children in Maine and 2 trans athletes. Every single candidate running for office who can drum up concern about the latter but has nothing to say about the former is telling on themselves. They don’t care about children. Only power. And they’ll hurt kids for it.

The military has a duty to refuse unlawful orders, but Congress has a duty to remove from office a president and secretary who would issue such orders. There is something off about members of Congress talking about the former while refusing to say the latter, the part that's actually their job here.

We always see a surge of infectious disease, including COVID, RSV, etc etc around Thanksgiving and Christmas. Unless you want to gift your fam with a few weeks sick this year, mask up as you travel!

A reminder as we enter the holiday season:

You celebrate in whatever ways make you feel comfortable, loved, and bright through winter, even if that means not observing holidays in a traditional sense or at all. You protect you, darlings, and have a wonderful wintertime ❄️

There’s nothing normal about expecting family members to be in the same room when one has abused the other. This is abnormal. This is harmful. This is perpetuating more abusive patterns. When you elevate family traditions over protecting the abused, you are re-creating the abuse

ICE is terrorizing people across the country, including in our backyards. Our neighbors deserve access to due process.

I think it’s good to be hard on and expect more from our elected officials. This isn’t normal! We shouldn’t be acting like it is.

Totally and not saying he could just snap his fingers, but would love to see stronger language condemning the illegal and unconstitutional actions of the trump administration- and what democrats plan to do about it.

Friendly reminder that dishwashers made after 1995 or so are so water and energy efficient that even if you ran them twice fully loaded it would still use less water than handwashing the same load.

So many "green" things feel like sacrifices. Dishwashers are not one of them.

The header "Vaccines do not cause autism" has not been removed due to
an agreement with the chair of the U.S.
Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee that it would remain on the CDC website.

RFK Jr. apparently promised Senator Bill Cassidy that he wouldn’t delete the statement β€œVaccines do not cause autism” from the CDC website.

Instead, RFK Jr. published a litany of lies claiming that vaccines *do* cause autism, left the statement with an asterisk, and added this:
