I cannot even begin to express my rage at this lie

reading this through me back into my pandemic EMT life, attempting to resuscitate a child experiencing a cardiac arrest secondary to COVID while a father says “we heard that the vaccine was riskier than COVID for kids” and a mother wails in agony

MAGA stands for freedom of speech for Nazis—but not anyone who opposes them.

That’s…not called freedom of speech.

That’s just simple, old fashioned fascism.

Post text: The fact doomers have gone from “America is over” to “Dems won’t hold anyone responsible when this is over” can actually be read as an optimistic signal imo.

This whole thread is one of the most horrifying things I’ve read this year, which is beyond wild when you think about everything else that’s happened this year

Columbia and Northwestern are the academic homes to the most prestigious journalism schools in the country and they are the two universities that caved to the Trump administration’s extortion demands that are directly connected to the First Amendment. Just gonna sit with that for a while.

When Columbia, Cornell, and Northwestern send material asking for donations, do they include links to a Trump SuperPAC so donors don't have to bother with a middle man?

Kind of a stupid decision not to kick the field goal there, but it most likely won’t matter
