it's incredible how many stages of fascism you can avoid succumbing to as a voter by simply asking not who this plan hurts but how it helps you

On the one side, I do not love being a Jew in a country now ruled by explicit Nazis. On the other hand, this is all amazing ad footage for the Dems in 2026.

🚨BREAKING: Federal Court GRANTS sweeping nationwide injunction against Trump DEI executive orders finding that they violate First and Fifth Amendments to the Constitution. A huge victory for @democracyforward.org and its clients. A stinging loss for Trump.

The Horrific Approval of Anti-Arab Hate As you read this, ask yourself why this isn't headline news nationwide, and what would happen if the roles were reversedβ€”then take this meaningful action for justice

Mordechai Brafman shot at two Jewish people 17 times & hit them b/c he thought they were Palestinian. He faces 15 years & no hate crime charges.

Briana Boston said "delay deny defend" to Blue Cross. She faces 15 years on terror charges.

This is Florida.

HHS has ordered CDC to stop its influenza vaccine β€œWild to Mild” media campaign. This is an award-winning campaign that effectively explains how influenza vaccine may not prevent infection but does decrease illness severity. We are currently having one of the worst influenza seasons in 15 years.

No, but if you’re looking for one, I am aware of a guy you work with that was indicted four times and convicted of thirty-four felonies.

Nearly every medicine we benefit from started with NIH-funded research. Early discovery work starts in academia.

Immunotherapies?
Gene therapy for rare diseases?
Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s medicines?
Vaccines?
Novel cancer treatments?
Psychiatric medicines?

You betcha.

Instead of saying "I didn't understand the halftime show, therefore it is bad art" maybe try and understand why you didn't get it and think critically about the presentation, symbolism, etc. This is part of the beauty of art and creativity.

No, Lesbians and Black People Having Jobs Didn’t Start the Fires Basic fact-checking has entered the chat.

Diversity and inclusion has never started a fire, but profound ignorance of climate change and a refusal to fund the government’s ability to address it certainly have.
