Looking forward to learning all about how the right should move left to win elections tomorrow. They should maybe dye their hair pink, learn to love pronouns.

β€œawful people don’t deserve to be killed, but they don’t deserve to be praised, either” is apparently a thought too complex for the pundit mind

Hi, immunologist here:

(a scientist who studies immune & inflammatory processes)

RFK Jr is talking absolute bullshit when he says he can β€œsee in kids faces that they have inflammation”

That’s NOT how immunology works.

He is an anti-science profiteer.
Start calling him such.

Newly disclosed FEC records shed light on Ernst 'dark money' case β€’ Iowa Capital Dispatch Newly disclosed records detail election-law violations the FEC's counsel believed were committed in connection with Sen. Joni Ernst's 2020 campaign.

"The FEC records show that while the commission’s general counsel found reason to believe several election laws were violated in connection with the Ernst campaign and wanted to launch an investigation, the six-member commission was evenly split on the issue and so the matter was dropped." #iowa

A new analysis projects a 24% cut to Social Security benefits by late 2032. Trump's "big, beautiful bill" will cause sharp cuts to Social Security by late 2032, a new analysis says.

Seniors who paid into Social Security deserve to receive the full benefits they are entitled to. Too bad every one of Iowa's representatives voted for a budget that will cut those hard-earned benefits

It is fucking insane that we had a decade of people complaining about the dangers of cancel culture, and now literally hundreds of thousands of people are being purged from government jobs for ideological reasons, but that is not cancel culture.

When I was little, the U.S. military came to our home at gunpoint and took me and my family away. We were imprisoned for years in barbed wire camps simply because we were Japanese American. I have spent my life telling that story, hoping it would never be repeated.

Stop travelling to America.

It’s not safe & your tourist dollars shouldn’t support fascism

If you’re American, stop going to Florida

They built a concentration camp in 8 days

They’ve opted to kidnap and detain thousands instead of housing the homeless, feeding the hungry & providing healthcare

We now have a concentration camp in Florida.

Stop pretending any of this is normal.

If you claim to be a good person and you're not outwardly opposing this regime, you're not a good person.

Be human.

Half our elderly are trapped in Fox News fear, suspicious of everyone and full of hate while getting scammed out of their life savings and losing their health insurance. Good game guys.

So more shady investors with ties to criminal enterprises can now buy up the small amount of housing assets left for the majority of us. Perfect.

Iowa State Extension and Outreach may be a good one. Unbiased educational content is all over especially in their subject areas of ag, natural resources, community and economic development, and human sciences.

Jeff Bezos is worth $230 billion and is reportedly spending $20 million on a three-day wedding in Venice while sailing around on his $500 million yacht. If he can afford to do that, he can afford a wealth tax and to pay Amazon workers a living wage. Hello?

Social Security's insolvency date is now a year earlier. Here's how it could impact your benefits. Social Security is dipping into its trust fund to pay current retirees, with spending outpacing its revenue from payroll taxes.

Instead of CUTTING Social Security benefits, Congress should INCREASE payments by $200 per month and extend the solvency of the Social Security program by 75 YEARS.

How? Make the wealthiest Americans pay a fairer share.

I’ve got a bill to get it done.

A three panel comic from webcomicname.com.

Panel 1: A group of grey people tell "You do not fit here" to three pink people.

Panel 2: The three pink people get inside a small yellow square and say "okey we will make our own place".

Panel 3: The mass of grey people look at the three pink people inside the yellow box, and ask "why are you excluding us". The pink people utter a single "oh no".

I still can't get past the idea that people in America are now supposed to accept that this is a valid form of law enforcement and just assume it's fine when random dudes in groups with face-coverings, no ID, no warrant, & no uniform grab people off the street and force them into unmarked vehicles
