The destruction doesn't make for a photo-op like tearing down the East Wing of the White House or bulldozing the Rose Garden, but it's every bit as bad. Generations of American children learned to spell and count, learned the Preamble to the Constitution, from watching shows produced by the CPB.

As a SA survivor, these new Epstein photos triggered me far beyond what I would’ve expected.

My fellow survivors, take care of yourselves❤️

Video of Boat Strike Shows Survivors Waving Before Fatal Follow-Up Attack

Murder.

My kids were both born with a rare immune deficiency, Selective Antibody Disorder. Novel use of vaccines saved their lives. Fuck RFK Jr and his panel of charlatans.

They’re killing people as a twitter joke. It’s depraved. Can’t let yourself lose the capacity to be appalled and disgusted and outraged by this.

Stoke fear. Exploit desperation. Suspend the rule of law. Fan brutality.

Every time the stronger brutalize the weak, it’s fundamentally the same playbook.

Our duty is to stand up to brutality.

Our moral obligation is to protect the vulnerable and hold the powerful accountable.

Clinicians' lack of adoption knowledge interferes with adoptees' patient-clinician relationship, analysis indicates Researchers examined health care challenges faced by adult adoptees and how being adopted affects relationships with their clinicians. U.S. adult adoptees completed a mixed-methods online survey. A…

A new study finds many adult adoptees face challenges in health care because clinicians lack training on adoption and its lifelong impacts, highlighting the need for adoption‑competent care. 🥚

I guess it’s clear why the lawmakers needed to make that video

To put a finer point on this whole thing: "Two people with direct knowledge of the operation" — presumably uniformed military leaders — are accusing the U.S. Secretary of Defense of personally ordering specific war crimes. That's a historic accusation.

With no evidence whatsoever I stand by my theory that they’re terrorizing some small time drug traffickers to benefit some bigger competitor.

Dictators need war to stay in power.

So tough on crime. Very hostile to foreign narcoterrorists.

When our country targets astronauts who exercise their freedom of speech,
When heroes are no longer safe,
And most of our citizens still stay quiet,
It's time to face the fact we may have lost our country.

Chuck Schumer Faces Pushback From a ‘Fight Club’ of Senate Democrats

Wow — Senators Van Hollen, Smith, Murphy, Sanders, Warren, Markey, Merkley, Heinrich have created an official internal "Fight Club."

They're challenging Schumer & Gillibrand's leadership, arguing the party is using an old, corporate-friendly playbook insufficient to take on Trump or win elections.

This Billionaire Called Trump A Possible Psychopath, Epstein Release Shows Once America’s richest person, Gordon Getty has donated to anti-Trump PACs but kept quiet about the president. Now Epstein release emails show exactly how he feels.

Once America’s richest person, Gordon Getty has donated to anti-Trump PACs but never spoken out publicly against the president. Now emails from the Epstein documents release show exactly how he feels.

I’d sure like to read essays by some constitutional scholars about whether the U.S. is now post-constitutional. Tariffs, bribes, emoluments, etc., OKed without justification via the shadow docket. What’s the meaning of a constitution if it isn’t enforced?

I need y'all to help me today. Zach Wahls is running for the U.S. Senate to replace Joni Ernst. He has a good size following on other social media platforms but hasn't gotten much traction here yet.
We can change that today!

Give @zachwahls.bsky.social a follow and repost this, please. Ty! 💙🌊

Responding to a 2017 message that Trump was 'so gross', Jeffrey Epstein said Trump was "worse in real life and upclose."

ChatGPT encouraged college graduate to commit suicide, family claims in lawsuit against OpenAI | CNN A 23-year-old man killed himself in Texas after ChatGPT ‘goaded’ him to commit suicide, his family says in a lawsuit.

I fully believe in the corporate death penalty and believe we would be a better world if OpenAI lost its corporate charter and was forcibly dissolved.
