‪Doctors say that vaccines protect children from dangerous diseases. A nepo baby who barbecues dogs and snorts cocaine off toilet seats says that vaccines make children vulnerable to 5G radiation. For busy parents, it can be hard to know who to trust.

I need a labeller for people who jump in with 'transit fares hurt the poor' when every survey of transit riders show they much prefer increased service over free fares and every time transit revenue gets cut so does service

easy slogan for the next democratic presidential candidate is “i will reform the corrupt supreme court and repeal citizens united”

Every photo from Minneapolis looks like this. Cops decked out with guns and full tac gear facing off against people in bathrobes, parkas, and sweatpants armed only with whistles and cell phones.

Yet every verified MAGA chode on X dutifully calls it a riot or violent insurrection.

People should put down their phones and pay attention in freshman social studies

a republic, if we can keep it. are you willing to fight to keep it?

don't carry maga's water for them. don't try to work out how there's some secret loophole in the constitution that magically ends democracy. there isn't. that's the whole fucking point you fucking dopes

I think collectively, we at least partially wanted the child at the Super Bowl to be Liam because the little boy on stage looked happy and healthy and our hearts want so badly to think these children can somehow magically recover from the evils our government is doing.

It should be pointed out more frequently that they fought and died for this country also.

It remains under-discussed in the media how much the current administration is spitting on this history. (same for our 🇪🇺 allies, same for refugees from the Vietnam War).

Painting showing men of the 65th Infantry in Korea.

“They don’t speak our language.” Well, nobody worried about that when Puerto Rico’s 65th Infantry deployed to Korea in 1950. By war’s end, six men had been awarded DSC’s, 130 were awarded SS’s, and 3,800 were awarded PH’s. They remain one of the most heavily decorated NG units.

Bad Bunny holds a football that says Together, we are America.

Unidos somos América.

The funny thing about that show? Not a word of it was in English, but it was one of the more patriotic halftime shows I’ve seen.

“The only thing more powerful than hate is love”

“Together, we are America”

in conclusion, statehood for dc and pr

they performed American Idiot

Using Mr. Rogers in a Super Bowl commercial for mortgages should result in prison time

The people who are saying they didn't know Green Day was political clearly know nothing about Green Day.

Downtown Atlanta: 1919 versus 2022. Ouch!

Pretty clear to me that all the good incentives that come from being able to make a billion dollars are wiped out in a few years as billionaires become people who mainly want to keep their billion dollars.

For years, a cottage industry of political observers has contorted itself to obscure and occlude the obvious. That regardless of what others see in him, Trump’s entire political career — from his embrace of birtherism to his hatred of birthright citizenship — cannot be understood outside the context of his bitter, deep-seated racism. Trump is not profound. He has been the same person this whole time. The question is why so many others have refused to see what he has never bothered to hide.

This, from @jamellebouie.net is exactly right. And I think so many folks have refused to see or admit what Trump is because admitting implicates them, or their families, so denial is easier.

"Epstein class" is terrific not simply because several of them are directly tied to Epstein's crimes, but because it strikes at the corruption, immorality and impunity of that entire circle.

Eliminating ICE is the modern equivalent of opposing the Iraq War, and right now there are two types of Democrats: those who can see where the ball is moving and go to it, and those who will be swept away because they refused to do so.
