i think it is hard for some people to really their heads around the reality that kennedy is staunchly anti-vaccine and thinks that people should suffer through disease and that those who die deserved it and that those who survive are a better order of human being

this work saved millions of lives in 2021, won the Nobel Prize in 2023, and is cancelled in 2025

They LITERALLY want dead women to have to carry fetuses to term but live babies to die of preventable illnesses. That’s a GOAL of theirs, not a side effect.

I HATED that ad! I thought it was horrifying and I refused to buy CK jeans because of that ad.

Florida officials warn about risks of drinking raw milk after 21 infections There have been 21 cases of Campylobacter and Shiga toxin-producing E. coli infections linked to raw milk from the same farm, health officials said. Of those, six have been in children under the age o...

🛎️Simply put... Pasteurization kills bacteria (germs) in raw milk.

🛑Stop drinking raw milk. Raw milk can make you sick. We said before, JUST SAY NO to diarrhea, vomiting, & stomach cramps.

RFK Jr's messages are hurting our children. 6 of those sick in FL are under the age of 10 yrs.

it's so simple!!! show up to a library board meeting (or even run for the board), join the Library Friends group, tell your reps at every level that you only vote for politicians who support your community's library and library workers.

I needed a laugh this morning…thanks!

Not fleeing: New report shows more wealthy residents in Mass., 2 years into 'millionaire's tax' Despite previous concerns, Massachusetts' "millionaire's tax" hasn't seemed to deter high-earners from continuing to live here, according to a new study from the Institute for Policy Studies.

MA put in a 4% millionaires tax 2 years ago, & the GOP said we'd miss revenue targets & millionaires would flee. MA collected TWICE the projected revenues, & the number of millionaires went UP 40%.

Those of us who study immigration policy for a living have watched with dismay at the politicians' handling of the issue. I'm not a messaging expert, but I'd like to see a full throated defense and celebration of immigrants by the Dem party, not a cowardly retreat or "we won't do what he did." fin/

The idea that President can negotiate/dictate bilateral “deals” by using the full force of the federal government to punish and humiliate his perceived enemies goes against the whole idea of the rule of law. That should be the story, rather than normalizing this authoritarian behavior.

Do you receive benefits from SSA? Do you like getting a cost of living increase every year? Did you know that that increase is based off of the reports put out by the BLS??? Yeah. One more unintended consequence of discouraging BLS to release accurate data that makes the Orange Overlord angry is

Three Wisconsin Indivisibles in bathing suits holding a towel, a beach ball, and a sign that reads “NO ONE CAN DROWN OUR DEMOCRACY.”

After three Wisconsin Indivisible groups heard their GOP representative was using sprinklers to disperse peaceful protestors outside his office, the Tom Tiffany Beach Bash was born. Rather than run from the petty waterworks, Indivisibles stripped down to their bathing suits and kept on protesting! 😎

Right-wingers are so insecure and covetousness that after they gathered public goods, land, economy and education for themselves they wanted the one thing we had: the story of oppression.

They want this more than anything else b/c of the powerful narrative & culture we created from it.

This guy just said out loud that the whole point of what the Republicans are doing in Texas is to win Congress.

Albert Pike wasn't just a random Confederate general but an active leader of the anti-Catholic Know Nothing party who advocated deporting free Black people from Arkansas, attacked his commanding officer in the Mexican War, & was arrested for insubordination, corruption & treason by the CSA as well!

Articles keep ignoring this point - yes, gerrymandering happens. Yes, mid-cycle gerrymandering has happened.

This is different. Rs drew the maps. They want to draw them again. This sets a precedent for those in power to consistently redraw lines to maximize power. Politicians picking voters.

ICE is offering up to $50,000 in signing bonuses to recruit 10,000 new agents in 2025. The new campaign includes student loan forgiveness and enhanced retirement benefits. If successful, ICE would become the largest federal law enforcement agency in the nation. The effort is backed by the One Big Beautiful Bill and promoted by DHS and Secretary Kristi Noem. Recruitment is targeting cities, college campuses, and law enforcement communities nationwide.

Guess who is eligible for #StudentLoanForgiveness? First responders? Healthcare workers? Teachers?

No.

#ICE agents.

Your tax dollars at work.

Boston Children's Hospital says it won't be bullied into abandoning trans youth - LGBTQ Nation The hospital has faced bomb threats, hate campaigns, and threats to funding over the years but has never wavered in supporting gender-affirming care.

"We are here to affirm, uplift, and advocate for transgender and gender diverse youth...and we remain committed to doing all we can to support their care and well-being.”

An easy thing to do from home is to send a note of appreciation when an organization or institution refuses to comply.

Okay; not piling on this account, but I'm going to fact-check the below.

First, they're wrong; the Trump admin claims current removals are ~150,000.

Second, the Obama and Clinton numbers are not comparable. Both include rapid border turn-arounds, and are mostly Border Patrol actions, not internal.

The goal of a nuclear reactor on the moon is a heady one for an administration full of people who can barely bang two rocks together

Scotland should announce plans to build a golf course on the moon, just to see how mad he gets

Before you see a hundred or so posts saying that Texas has issued arrest warrants for the absent Dem legislators, you should be aware that they are civil warrants issued by the House that are not effective outside the state
