Almost nobody is ok with it. But was it on your local news today? If not, nobody is going to know about it in order to not be OK with it.

Ppl oppose almost everything this administration is doing, when they’re told what those things are. But most people aren’t!
I don't get how anyone can possibly be okay with ending the WHI. This study has accrued decades of data from 42000 women and it is still going. It helps to address critical research gaps that have been allowed to go unfilled because of durable misogyny and provides invaluable insight into aging.

Maybe the real tariffs were all of the immigrants we disappeared along the way.
Man he’s completely giving up

*TRUMP SAYS ULTIMATE CHINA TARIFF WON'T BE NEAR 145%

The whole fucking point of "due process" is that everyone gets it. Everyone. All people. Timothy McVeigh and Mark David Chapman and Ken Lay and Harvey Weinstein and also guys who stole candy bars from 7-11 and ran stop signs. The worst monsters on earth and the most angelic sweeties. Everyone!
The problem with … the two problems with .. AMONG the problems with people like Natalie Jackson is their credulous and sheeplike willingness to accept the government’s narrative about who is a “hero” or a “villain” based on dubious claims,

The Gilded Age is Trump's ideal--let's check the stats, shall we?

--most Americans disenfranchised
--most Americans in extreme poverty
--most Americans worked 12 hour workdays, 6-7 days a week
--most Americans consumed unsafe food, water, medicine

The Gilded Age was great only for the rich folks
Trump: "We were the richest relatively -- think of this -- from 1870 to 1913. That was our richest. Because we collected tariffs ... we had so much wealth. Of course, now we give it away to transgender ... everybody gets a transgender operation."

I am nonbinary. The gender that no longer officially exists in the United States. I was offered the chance to change my gender designation to "X" on my passport and driver's license in 2023. I decided not to and here's why.

Guys it wasn't a Nazi salute. Does he retweet a bunch of Nazis all the time? Yes. Is he currently serving under a President who openly courts Nazis? Sure. Were there Nazis in the crowd? There were. Did the physical movement exactly replicate the Nazi salute? Of course it did! But what you don't unde

Fewer cars in cities is good, and municipal governments should do everything it can to limit them.
this is incredible stuff. most state DOTs would spend tens of billions on highway expansions to try and see numbers like this (that wouldn’t even pan out anyway thanks to induced demand lol)

ALL firefighters are required to maintain their hair in accordance with fire department codes which require that hair must not fall below the collar and must not interfere with personal protective equipment. But you know, homophobia.

America elected a right-wing authoritarian so we all know what that means: Time to pre-emptively blame the organizers and activists who are the best chance to stop him.

This cannot be overstated: if you've seen anything about trans people via the newspapers, BBC, government ministers, or even bookshops - most of it isn't merely inaccurate, it's deliberate, calculated, malicious lies and propaganda, or baseless bigoted conspiracy theories at best.
If you're cis, one thing I'd like to impart with regards to trans people is that you are being lied to on an almost unfathomable scale, from billionaires like Musk, to religious fundamentalist groups, to print and broadcast media, to entire governments, they're committed to spreading malinformation.
Literally this.

If you are a cis person, even if you are an expert in some field that affects trans people, and you *think* you know some facts about trans people, I can almost guarantee you believe some things that are insanely wrong.

i’ve said it before and i’ll say it again, vaccines, antibiotics and pasteurization are the three most important inventions in the last 200 years, and the nut jobs are against all three 😭 (the rw freaks don’t believe in germ theory)
A reminder that vaccinations are quite literally the most important innovation in human history. RFK Jr is a terrible human being and I sincerely hope terrible things happen to him. Anyone who supports anti-vax BS are also terrible and should be shunned from society at a minimum
After many dozens of children died preventable deaths of measles in Samoa, a vaccination campaign was successful. Families hung signs saying "Help!" "I want to live!"

RFK Jr fueled the anti-vaxx mvt there & now he's in a much more powerful position here. www.nytimes.com/2019/12/19/w...

Everyone is going to focus on his deranged support for raw milk, but it's maybe funnier to consider that he thinks the FDA is suppressing vitamins.
