Fire him.

I really hate it when scientists keep saying that “we need to rebuild trust in science,” because it implies that scientists are to blame for the mistrust rather than the millions of dollars of dark money that have funded political attacks on science in order to advance a far right agenda.

I am BEGGING these people to take one healthcare economics class.

i'd say it did. the public put a group of thieves, vandals and extremists in office last november and they promptly went about destroying everything that might work to limit their ability to loot, steal and inflicting pain on the people they hate

In the last chapter of Alice’s memoir, “Year of the Tiger,” she wrote her own future obituary.

The wonderful “oracle, storyteller, cyborg, trouble-maker, activist, night owl” we loved so much closed it with:

“Enjoy all of Alice’s good shit, and may you create some good shit as well.”

A quick sketch of Alice Wong, an extraordinary writer, editor, organizer and disability revolutionary. She's beautiful, middle aged, leaning against a power chair headrest, with a ventilator tube attached to a tracheotomy at her throat. wearing vivid purple and a bright red lip. I tried to capture the expression she often wore of joy mixed with an inner amusement and determination.

She was extraordinary, and extraordinarily generous. Alice Wong: I am so grateful to have been alive in her lifetime. She was one of our species' best. She deserved better. My her legacy be for a blessing.

So many vulnerable people were hurt, harassed and raped by these ghouls and now—I’m worried—it’s gonna become hehe haha lurid internet circus instead of a long overdue moral reckoning. I’m scared of who we all are becoming. That man has brought us ALL low.

I have also had this experience since becoming a mom in MANY spaces ! Dental hygienists, hair dressers, people at the park, once a chiropractor when I was on the table - it’s like “oh you’re a mom, you must also dehumanize people under the pretense of “safety””.

Every "population crisis" article in western media is just "WHERE ARE THE WHITE BABIES" in disguise and we absolutely do not have to give any credence to any of them

Trump Administration to Drastically Cut Housing Grants

This is far worse than anyone expected.

Trump's HUD plan would cut *two-thirds* of permanent housing and push as many as 170,000 formerly homeless people back onto the street—redirecting funds to work mandates, forced treatment, and encampment sweeps.

All as mass internment camps are being built.

Folks, the reporting is that Trump is making PERSONAL CALLS to Mace, MTG and others about the discharge petition. Would you be doing this if you had nothing to hide? Let's please all be serious here.

The Oversight Dems timed this exquisitely - credit where credit is due.

I taught myself to cut my kids hair when my stylist upped their rates to $120 before tip. 🫣

Not that he didn’t already know, but now Trump knows for sure he can roll the Dems every time and there’s no need to negotiate for anything

thinking back to when eric cantor got knocked out in a primary in 2014

How about we shut down the government for this very popular and specific goal and then, hear me out, we hold out for like a month and a half and then, ok this part is important, after a watershed election where we ran the table, ONLY THEN, fold and don't get the one thing we said we wanted.

My family has been without half our income for 40 days. It has been.. very hard.

We are willing to feel that pain so people can have health care next year, or to undo these illegal recissions.

We are not willing to have been put through this for NOTHING.

Stop patting senators on the head unless they are calling for schumer's removal. Everything else is just in the script

Ocasio Cortez/Lander sounds so much better than Schumer/Gillibrand

Senator Schumer is no longer effective and should be replaced. If you can’t lead the fight to stop healthcare premiums from skyrocketing for Americans, what will you fight for?

They aren’t drawing them into a deal. They’re giving political cover but it’s not gonna work. It’s actually gonna make us trust none of them because we don’t know what No votes wanted to be Yes.

Assume all the yes and no votes from Dem senators are strategic and not sincere votes. The party caucus made a decision. No way to know how many were in favor. Then the caucus decided who would vote yes and no based on what would protect each of them politically the most. That’s how this works.

i think this is key. taking the deal would amount to taking the blame. it would turn a clear political victory into an unambiguous defeat.

Can we all get behind a ban prop bets plank on all platforms. This form of gambling ruins sports & ruins lives

On the one hand you have the Seahawks crushing. On the other, you have the potential for a shutdown ending “deal” that has no ACA save (a vote in December AFTER this years open enrollment ???!! So guess we’re calling senators while watching football.

Love having multiple sports teams not suck in the same year
