"We can't effectively carry out our core job functions if you won't let us be openly racist" is pretty much all anyone just joining us from 2003 needs to know about Immigration and Customs Enforcement

No one saw this coming, right? (Looking at you, Bill Cassidy.)

Kennedy lied his way thru his confirmation hearings so he could attain the power he needs to implement his reckless plan to undercut, if not destroy, the nation’s vaccine system.

This will cause deaths. Thank you, Trump voters.

We could have had cancer vaccines, and instead the United States will contribute nothing whatsoever to mRNA research, condemning millions of people worldwide to unnecessary illness and death

i think it is hard for some people to really their heads around the reality that kennedy is staunchly anti-vaccine and thinks that people should suffer through disease and that those who die deserved it and that those who survive are a better order of human being

I believe one of the new mRNA vaccines was expected to treat colon cancer, and another had the potential to keep pancreatic cancer from recurring. That’s what they’re taking away.

The pancreatic cancer vaccine trials have been so promising, this would have been a literal life saver for so many and now its gone. I cant tell you how heart breaking this is. Horror after horror with this administration.

TLDR:

we must treat boys with kindness rather than toxic masculinity

we must treat girls with kindness rather than misogyny

we can't address misogyny WITHOUT addressing toxic masculinity

or the children abused by gendered expectations grow up and pass on those gendered expectations

on and on

Rep. Crockett is right.

We must hold Republicans accountable for gerrymandering and silencing the voices of people of color.

Still thinking about how the recurring theme of Superman is "knowing injustice is happening and choosing to ignore it is as actively harmful to your soul as actively collaborating", which of course ties directly into the very clear analogy Gunn is making about certain geopolitical events.

Americans reject MAGA meanness as β€˜Superman’ soars Over the last few days, millions of Americans have gone to the movie theater to watch James Gunn’s new β€œSuperman,” making it the #1 movie in the United States.οΏ½ The movie’s success is ...

"For Trump, cruelty is the point. But for Superman, that is absolutely not the way.

Superman stands for truth and justiceβ€”the complete opposite of what MAGA is all about." www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...
