The Overton window has shifted too far right for centrism to be actually in the center.

PSA: Everyone please make sure you are getting annual skin checks and checking yourself regularly for dark or changing spots. I got diagnosed with Stage 1A melanoma this week and thankfully it was caught early enough and I’ll be fine. PLEASE wear sunscreen and watch those moles!

What form of sociopathy required them to need a court order to stop doing this?

"While the wildfires were raging in California, Ben and Ted Cruz had a podcast where they just attacked Governor Newsom and Karen Bassβ€”that was while the fires were still raging. So spare us the grandstanding and virtue signaling about how this stuff shouldn't be partisan."

The worst chief justice of all time Move over, Roger Taney and Melville Fuller.

β€œAmerican history has no shortage of legendarily bad chief justices & disgraceful decisions. But Chief Justice Roberts has overseen the wholesale corruption and capture of the Supreme Court, and history should look back on his tenure with revulsion.” @atrupar.com

If Christian Nationalist parents are allowed to have their kids opt-out of any books that dare mention anyone gay, then all the other parents should be allowed to let their kids opt-out from the Ten Commandments.

I'm still not over yesterday's obscene SCOTUS decision that our government can deport people to prisons in countries they're not from. How is anyone walking around going about their day?

Today in history, 1963: The Supreme Court rules 8-1 in Abington v. Schempp that mandatory religious activities in school, such as reciting the Lord’s Prayer and Bible readings, violate the Establishment Clause of the Constitution. /1

For 3 decades we've been told that more regular & deadly mass shootings is price we pay to keep personal military weapons, necessary to check an authoritarian government: but as masked unidentified thugs kidnap people off the streets, our "well-regulated militia" does nothing to protect our freedom.

MAGA doesn't realize we live in a world.

Tourism is down, Republicans are attacking immigrants, scientists, & foreign students. The best & brightest are leaving.

RFK JR is attacking vaccines, which means diseases will spread.

White supremacy remains undefeated when it comes to self-destruction.

Today they have crossed a deep red line.

We, the people, must hold the president and his appointees accountable for this outrageous abuse against American liberty.

I need y'all to get it out of your heads that Indigenous societies were primitive and simplistic.

That's colonial thinking, perpetuated to justify the creation of the colonial state in order to "uplift" and "educate" Indigenous folks

It's pure BS

The Gutting of America’s Medical Research: Here Is Every Canceled or Delayed N.I.H. Grant Some cuts have been starkly visible, but the country’s medical grant-making machinery has also radically transformed outside the public eye.

"Tanner, a chemist at the Univ. of Mississippi working to develop a novel approach for treating glioblastoma, was notified in April that the grant was terminated.

β€œI would like to cure brain cancer,” Dr. Tanner said. β€œI think that's not particularly controversial.”

Lyft driver picked me up from UNC, turned out he was a medicinal chemistry post-doc in a building near mine, until his grant got cut last month.

Worked on novel antivirals.

This isn't about Left and Right.

It's about low to no Empathy having people terrorizing folks with Empathy because it's entertaining.

And at some point, for our own survival, we're going to have to start a conversation about how to keep the Empathetic folks safe from the emotional terrorists.

1/2 Misogynist Trump just rescinded Biden’s emergency abortion protections under EMTALA. This is a death sentence. More women will die in ERs because hospitals are no longer required to provide life-saving abortions. Trump made it easier to turn patients away.
