I cannot begin to properly articulate how upsetting it is to have had people baselessly accuse trans people of being groomers and pedophiles only for it to come out that they were deliberately doing this as part of a project to provide cover to actual groomers and pedophiles in positions of power

Half of me is shocked that a decent candidate actually won in NYC. The other half is dismayed that it was even close.

Halloween tip: Don’t create a YouTube playlist of Halloween songs for a party for kids without actually listening to all of the songs. β€œHalloween Song” by Ninja Sex Party is NOT for kids. πŸ§Ÿβ€β™‚οΈπŸ¦΄

It’s a reflection of society. So many people are absolutely repulsed by the idea of admitting that they don’t know something. 😞

The Deadline for a Major Shutdown Casualty Roughly 42 million Americans may not get their SNAP benefits on Saturday.

Due to the ongoing government shutdown, SNAP is set to run out of money for the first time in its history. β€œIt’s not that the administration can’t pay up” to fill the gapβ€”β€œit’s that it has chosen not to,” @willgottsegen.com argues in The Atlantic Daily.

Any federal government website that currently sports an illegal, partisan, and completely non-factual shutdown disclaimer is no longer a credible source of information, imo.

Why haven’t the people bulldozing the White House been arrested? It’s not his house. He doesn’t own it. You can’t bulldoze someone else’s house.

Not being even vaguely sarcastic:

At some point, a journalist needs to ask Johnson β€œyou regularly claim you have no idea what your own government is doing. If we take you at your word, how are you so poorly informed, and do you this level of ignorance should disqualify you as speaker?”

I’m continually reminded of Chuck Palahniuk’s novel β€œAdjustment Day.” It was supposed to be fiction, but he predicted far too much of 2025 and what could come next.

I keep seeing ads for treatments that could be life-changing … but they’re out of reach, too expensive or too hard to access or both. It’s an absolute travesty that this is such a common experience.

America has to be the only allegedly-first-world country where people wish for access to health care like they wish for vacations or lottery winnings. The first question about any treatment is never β€œIs this the best option for my medical needs?” It’s always β€œHow much does it cost?”

Miller’s apparent elevation to shadow president and his seeming intent to declare an end to the constitutional order would, in any other administration, be treated as a executive branch meltdown that was immensely embarrassing for the president and requiring Miller’s immediate removal

My husband was detained by ICE today

Juan MuΓ±oz, an American citizen, father of 2, and local government official, was peacefully protesting w. other elected officials. He was assaulted and taken away

I have had zero contact or updates since

I’m not one to go for Starbucks’s β€œsecret menu” BS, but this iced caramel mocha they’re suggesting is incredible. It’s like a candy bar as a coffee drink. Certainly pricey and bad for you, but really good. πŸ˜‹

FACT CHECK: Acetaminophen (Tylenol) has no credible link with autism. Tylenol is the leading option to combat dangerous fevers during pregnancy β€” fearmongering around tried and tested medicine puts pregnant people and children at risk. #impeachthequack

It is absolutely insane to me that we're having a debate over whether or not the rightwing deploys violent rhetoric within days of a Fox News personality calling for homeless people to be killed by lethal injection. There is no excuse for this obliviousness. It's unacceptable.

Did some TikToker start a trend talking about lavender marriage, or something? Seeing a lot of people suddenly posting about wanting a lavender marriage, while not actually even understanding what they are and why they’re used.

A VAERS report indicating death after COVID vaccine. The description of the investigation into this death reads:

Adverse Event Description
On 1/23/21 the patient had a single-car accident, slid off icy road into snowbank. She was seen in our ER, diagnosed w/ trauma and L4 compression fracture. She was transported to Hospital for further trauma workup. We believe she was treated and released. On 1/31/21 the patient had a headache but did not seek medical attention. In the morning of 2/1 she became unresponsive and was pronounced dead on the scene when EMS arrived. Autopsy showed a left temporal subdural hematoma.

The Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System is getting attention bc RFK Jr. & his antivaxx goons plan to use VAERS to claim COVID vaccines killed children.

This is an actual VAERS report for a reported death after COVID vaccine. This is what these people count as data showing β€œdeath after vaccine:”
