The day America decided to ignore Jared Kushner's $2 billion from the Saudis, and put an insurrection-inciting convicted felon back in the White House, is the day I stopped giving a shit about any "moral high ground."

I hope President Biden takes his "presidential immunity" out for a fucking spin.

This is getting overlooked, but the whole premise of Trump's threat of tariffs is based on a lie. He's claiming Mexico must be bullied into stopping migrants. But Mexico is *already* doing this. That's a big reason crossings have dropped. 1/

“70% the illegal weapons seized from criminals in Mexico come from your country. We do not produce these weapons, nor do we consume synthetic drugs. Tragically, it is in our country that lives are lost to the violence resulting from meeting the drug demand in yours.” - President Sheinbaum to Trump.

At the end of the day Donald Trump knows “the economy does better under the Democrats than the Republicans!” He said so himself.

Denver gave people experiencing homelessness $1k/month. A year later, nearly half had housing.

They also had fewer ER visits, nights spent in a hospital, and jail stays.

The report estimates that this reduction in public service use SAVED the city $589k.

Please, please use alt-text on pictures.
It takes just a few seconds & means visually impaired users of BlueSky have the same experience as sighted people.
Also, capitalise words in hashtags so screen reading software, for visually impaired people, can make sense of hashtags.
Thanks!

Last year, when I was at MSNBC, I did a 10-minute deep-dive into RFK Jr's anti-vaxxer role in the measles outbreak that killed dozens and dozens of kids in Samoa.

I hope every Senator voting in his confirmation process for HHS knows about this crucial and awful story:

This should terrify every American. It doesn’t matter where you stand on immigration. Using our military as a domestic law enforcement tool at mass scale will destroy its core purpose, turn the American people against them, and damage the institution for decades.

Deranged chaos agent RFK Jr is a very dangerous person and the only reason why his bombastic idiotic conspiracy theories are given a platform is because his last name is Kennedy even though the entire Kennedy family despise him.
