I’m twisted. (Okay, I have severe scoliosis, so…that explains PART of it.) I’m a liberal, a mom, an animal lover, a fan of the planet, believer in science, and not a supporter of organized religion.
Why do most people’s food pics look like piles of dog vomit? I’m not gonna share anything here because I’m not trying to shame individuals. But damn. Before you post first look at your pic upside down. Despite how good it may smell, if it doesn’t look like food when it’s upside down, don’t post it.

That’s a man who has had a stroke, likely followed by many mini strokes. This is a National Emergency: Congress MUST ACT.
PRO TIP: If you're going to lash out at reporters for questioning your stamina, don't fall asleep mid-rant.

On this #ThanksgivingDay let's take a moment to remember the true reason we have this "holiday". Today, this country is actually celebrating the INDIGENOUS PEOPLES OF THIS LAND, THAT HELPED IMMIGRANTS, WHO FLED THEIR HOMES FOR A BETTER LIFE...TO THEIR LAND.🪶

The History of Thanksgiving from the Native American Perspective
The real history of Thanksgiving from the Native American perspective tells a different story than you may know, making it a complicated holiday for many.

I’ve discovered the BEST Black Friday Deal: DON’T PARTICIPATE. If you must buy please buy local. If you must shop online avoid Amazon! Buy directly from small businesses. Go to their websites!
We Ain’t Buying It: Nov 27-Dec 1 (at least!) Send a message to MAGA with your wallet.

Musk's X briefly introduced and then immediately rolled back a new profile feature that automatically displayed users' country of origin, due to doxxing large amounts of MAGA accounts as foreign operated. The feature was intended to increase transparency and combat bot accounts . It backfired...

These posters started popping up ahead of next week’s We Ain’t Buying It boycott.
From Nov 27 - Dec 1, folks are stepping back from corporate chains like Target, Home Depot, and Amazon. People are done being squeezed, so they are using the leverage of their wallets 💥

The Epstein files are about so much more than the disgusting, criminal dealings of one man.
They're about how the rich and powerful are rigging our entire system to give themselves money, cover, and influence.
Buying elections. Warping our economy. Subverting justice.
Enough.

Poverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable. Remember: We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few.

In a new phase 3 trial, people randomly assigned to receive a flu shot made with modified mRNA were 34.5% less likely to be diagnosed with an influenza-like illness than people given a standard flu shot made with inactivated virus.

Most of us have no idea how bad it is inside ICE detention centers because they have kept it hidden. Then a truth teller shows up and says it plain.
The conditions are filthy. The treatment is inhumane. The abuse is Systematic and routine.

Sad but fucking true. Late stage capitalism is bad for your health.
Here’s the thing about healthcare premiums about to skyrocket: they will never come back down, short of a complete overhaul of our system for universal healthcare. Which clearly won’t happen bc of all the money tied up between health and politics.
