Democrats like Jeffries spent the entire election calling Trump a fascist threat to democracy and now they can’t figure out why people expect aggressive opposition

i’m sorry, i’m tired of this shit. there was no pronoun policing. i have encountered exactly three or four land acknowledgments in like ten years, and the most you’ll hear about “intersectionality” is in liberal nonprofits. this is just freefloating resentment masquerading as analysis.

This is what a deal with the devil looks like👇

@housegop.bsky.social JUST VOTED TO CUT Medicaid, SNAP benefits, school meals, & housing assistance all in exchange for giving corporations & billionaires a tax cut all at the  expense of the middle class.

Absolutely heartbreaking.

No one––especially a child––deserves to face this much cruelty over their family’s immigration status.

Measles outbreak in Texas rises to at least 58 cases — the state's worst in over 30 years A measles outbreak in Texas​ has led to 58 confirmed cases, making it the state's worst in over 30 years — and local health officials say additional cases​ are likely to occur.

In 2019, RFK Jr visited Samoa to spread anti-vax lies, spurring a measles outbreak that led to the deaths of 83 people - mostly children.

We can’t let that tragedy repeat in Texas. The MMR vaccine is 97% effective at preventing measles. Let’s stop the spread.

today's free social media advice for sitting legislators: you gotta stop logging on to say "this is unacceptable" unless you are prepared with a CALL TO ACTION or to tell us what YOU are CURRENTLY doing about it. saying "this is bad" but louder helps nobody.

When I say they *want* you to **** yourself, I'm being literal. The most progressive, black block anarchist, radical thing you can do right now is stay alive. Ask for help. Your community will step up. Just stay alive.

Hey! @elonmusk your doge minions just fired me and my colleagues at CMMI. We were working on improving maternal health outcomes AT LOWER COSTS so that less pregnant women would die in this county. I thought that would fit nicely into your agenda?

The admin told media yesterday that the HHS cuts were "targeted" and didn't included scientists or people working on Medicare & Medicaid.
Well I know of scientists who got fired and I work on Medicaid.
Just wanted to point out when you get things wrong
- like you requested.

47,000+ Palestinians killed. 111,000 injured.

Trump’s response? Forcibly expel Palestinians to make Gaza “a real estate development for the future. A beautiful piece of land.” 

No. Gaza must be rebuilt for the Palestinian people, not billionaire tourists.

When social media exposes traditional media’s deceit, it’s time for independent journalists to investigate why the press is backing a president who undermines free press—and is it coordinated?

BREAKING

A judge has temporarily blocked Trump’s order to end birthright citizenship.

Judge Coughenour said:

“I've been on the bench for over four decades. I can’t remember another case where the question presented is as clear as this one. This is a blatantly unconstitutional order.”
