The Trump administration has been spreading anti-vaccine propaganda for months. Tonight, Trump's physician announced he just received a flu shot and a COVID booster.

aaand we are officially in the hide-your-neighbors stage

Justice for All - Truthdig To restore the rule of law, Democrats must enforce the constitution with brass knuckles like there’s nothing to lose. Because there isn’t.

As Democrats contemplate a 2026 or 2028 run and wonder what message will most motivate voters, they need to understand that the minimum opening bid is vengeance.

Everyone should subscribe (and pay for) @fartsandwich.bsky.social's foodisstupid.substack.com, not least for the suffering he went through in tasting today's "cock"tail sans ICE. We all need a laugh in these times.

Not that Cillizza deserves a response, but—in the sense that hes deeply representative of the intellectual & moral rot at the heart of political news media—its v indicative of their mentality that he doesnt consider murdering ppl in the Caribbean or disappearing ppl domestically an affront to peace

a shitty post even by chris Cillizza's standards: "What if...Donald Trump actually deserves the Nobel Peace Prize?"

you could walk through Times Square buck naked with one of those car-dealership inflatable men tethered to your head, setting off bottle rockets as you go, and you would not be as desperate for attention than this sweaty twerp

JK Rowling pledges to keep up fight against SNP trans policies Author vows to bankroll campaigners after Scottish government fails to pay group's legal fees in Supreme Court equality case

It cannot be made clearer.

If you continue to support the Harry Potter franchise in any way, you are directly funding the removal of trans people's human rights in the UK.

We Can't Live Like This Trump's ICE agents are wantonly breaking the law across the country, while he sends the national guard to forcibly occupy blue states. It's up to the good citizens of this country to oppose this uncon...

For my newsletter, I wrote about how wantonly illegal and unconstitutional ICE is, how it must come to a stop now, how it's up to all of us to stop it, and how we will need to develop a way so the federal government can never do this to us again.

Already raved to my friends last weekend that they needed to read this gem. Now raving at the interwebs: this was so good, get it, read it, sit with it, and love it.

If only Iowa's senior senator was in any position to stop the nomination of the guy who selected RFK Jr or to vote against him as HHS nominee.

Not a single member of the so-called opposition party bothered to object to honoring a racist.

Thank you, from a fellow Iowan!

I am taking a mountain of shit right now. I can't go home and I can't be with my partner. If nothing changes I will be satisfied in my decision, but Christ i hope I'm opening room for some folks to be brave.

it's just a matter of what type of "political violence" you can ignore or justify and what is visible to you

I'm really having trouble processing the relative silence from Barack Obama about a colleague who he'd hosted at the White House, the Minnesota State House Speaker, being assassinated, but rushing to get out a weepy statement about Charlie fucking Kirk.

I don't think it's cruel or "too soon" to suggest that we actually remember Kirk for who he was. As Voltaire wrote, "The living deserve our respect. The dead deserve only the truth."

Yeah, honestly: “parental rights” are starting to sound more like “property rights.”
