Remodeling the U.S.?! By some definition of remodeling.

In 1900, 31% of all deaths were children under the age of 5. Today it’s 0.7%. Vaccines, medications, and modern science are the reason why. Trust the science, it’s been proven to work safely and efficiently time and time again.

A review for a Little Caesar’s somewhere by Kevin S: Stopped into this Little Caesars just trying to get a $6 pizza and ended up in a full on action movie. Just as I grabbed my order, this furious dude barges in yelling about how I cut him off in traffic earlier. Before I can even respond, he throws a punch but then out of nowhere the guy behind the counter jumps over it like he's been waiting for this moment his whole life and just beats the living hell out of the guy. The guy ran off and the cashier just dusted himself off. I said "are you ok man" and he looked me dead in the eye and said "B*tch, this is Little Caesars. We always hot and ready." Five stars. Will absolutely return.

I AM SHRIEKING 💀🤣

Forget the statue at City Hall, this guy is the *real* Spirit of Detroit. 🫡

I don’t think the Democrats should choose the dude who lost the 2010 midterms over all the trans people in America.

If you agree, I happen to be running for Congress: bethfordemocracy.com Help convince ambitious transphobes keep their weirdness to themselves again!

Public radio saves lives. Period.

Last year alone, PBS transmitted 11,000+ emergency alerts — floods, fires, tornadoes, evacuations. Cutting its funding means silencing the alarms.

This isn’t politics — it’s public safety.

Deb's right. I love this framing. And to "expensive, polluting" I'll add stinky and gross.

Government can’t function without people working in it, folks.

UTAH… this is not a game…

I so enjoy not being bothered by missing out on all the sweet, sweet Amazon prime deals. The freedom of wanting very little is an amazing freedom to possess.

YouTube video by Robert Reich The Shady World of Surveillance Pricing (Ft. Lina Khan)

Should corporations be able to weaponize your personal data to rip you off?

Well, they may already be doing that thanks to a shady tactic called “surveillance pricing.”

Former FTC Chair Lina Khan explains what we can do about it. youtu.be/-cbtUYshYM8?...

It's almost as if there's some kind of physical reality that no amount of ignoring or looking away from will change.

this is really important. FEMA is effectively already being shut down.

"Anybody could make up anything they wanted; sound, moving pictures ... there were machines that did just that. You could ... effectively paint whatever pictures — still or moving — you wanted, and with sufficient time and patience you could make it look as realistic as the real thing, recorded with an ordinary camera. You could simply make up any film sequence you wanted. Some people used such machines just for fun or revenge, making up stories where appalling or just funny things happened to their enemies or their friends. Where nothing could be authenticated, blackmail became both pointless and impossible..."

Cynthia Olivera is a Canadian who’s been living in the US since she was 10 She’s in ICE custody, after being grabbed at her green card interview. The 45 year old wife & mother has been moved between facilities while her husband begs ICE to let her get on a plane to Canada. 🧵 They’re willing to pay. She’s willing to leave. But she can’t escape. This is why we call them concentration camps. There’s no due process. Some people go in and never come out.

Reports that a Canadian citizen who has resided in the US since age 10 was abducted at a green card interview.

Her husband is begging ICE to let him fly her back to Canada and they refuse to release her.

Last night in Riverside, CA, what 6 months ago would’ve been on every new channel, was only on local news. A man drove his vehicle into protesters. At least one woman screamed that her sister had been ran over. /

cop: do you know why I pulled you over?

me: because you had an emotionally distant father, an overbearing mother, married a woman just like her, your kids hate you, and you’re taking your anger and frustration out on me?

cop: [holding back tears] because your gas cap is open
