Republicans are EXPLODING the cost of health care for families in Oregon and around the country.

Call the United States Capitol switchboard at (202) 224-3121 and they will connect you with your senator's office.

If you're represented by one of the squishier centrists, be sure to make a call. Now.

There is something deeply broken about an economy that creates trillionaires while people get buried under the cost of living and 42 million go hungry. The ultra-rich should realize that my Billionaires Income Tax, aimed at ensuring they pay their fair share, represents the moderate path forward.

“What your frontal cortex does is, it makes you do the hard thing when that’s the right thing to do: self-control, discipline, impulse control, emotional regulation, all
that sort of stuff. And what kind of frontal cortex you have is the outcome of everything that happened in your life beforehand.”

don’t treat people like crap.

unless you want to treat them like *we* treat crap, with the transformative care, respect, and service-oriented attention it deserves.

a man in a hard hat and sunglasses stands outside holding a water-filled jar in each hand. the jar in his right hand is effluent treated at our sewage treatment plant. the jar in his left hand is tap water. while the effluent is not potable (fully treated and safe for human consumption), they both look exactly the same, clean and clear.

the jar of water on the left was sewage just 24 hours ago.

the jar on the right is tap water.

the man in the middle is shift manager Chad.

The strongest nation in the world can’t protect their children from gun violence so we are teaching them how to hide and fight armed assailants.

I think the ACA credit piece of it is a political win win for us - good if we win and good if GOP publicly repudiates it before premiums go nuts

Hopefully they will compromise at some point. Isn't that how governance works? Or is that "caving"?

Yeah, I remember "that time", maybe it was "normal" but my parents knew enough to teach me better and they were contemporaries of Watson. Being an asshole is normal unfortunately but we can aspire to better.

this has been my fav

let the falling leaves remind you that shedding old habits is natural & starting fresh doesn't need a calendar flip. you’ve grown, stumbled, learned & now you get to choose what stays

Levensgevaarlijk voor die arme hond

A black and white cat in a surgical collar stands on its hind legs. An electrical cord runs behind them, ending in an outlet on the wall.

So it turns out... the US air travel system was incredibly, deeply dependent on federal funding to just run day-to-day all this time, to the benefit of private airline shareholders, when everyone thinks that state-run trains are leeching off the government. Weird!

Good morning and happy Sunday 🐴 🥰

My Vague Nervous System: [pic of a sign in the door that says beware of - well..just beweare]

I still can’t get over the 100,000+ patriots in Chicago who protested against the orange felon during the No Kings marches last month. More of this.

JAMES WATSON'S PASSING DOESN'T ERASE HIS LEGACY OF MISOGYNY AND RACISM. LET'S HONOR ROSALIND FRANKLIN AND THE WOMEN AND PEOPLE OF COLOR WHO ACTUALLY ADVANCED SCIENCE. CELEBRATE THEM, NOT HIM.

One of the unacknowledged advantages of this awful era is that it's revealing for all to see the putrid connections between great wealth and great power.

The intentions of the oligarchs are fully exposed and more blatant than ever.

But remember: We outnumber the oligarchs.

I need you all to know that my mother sent me this. 🤣 That is all.
