There has never been a greater threat to American democracy than Donald Trump and MAGA.
Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.
Opportunities are everywhere.
Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

If you’re a straight, cis person who has ever posted some version of a rainbow with “you’re safe with me” or similar, it’s time to back up the words with action— contact your reps and ask them what they’re going to do to protect trans people from this administration, particularly trans kids.

Transgender people don’t transition specifically so they can infiltrate bathrooms or sports, but a criminal and his oligarchs did specifically run for President to avoid consequences and to prioritize profits over people.
Remember that when they tell you who to hate.

I am hopeful the Trump administration won't walk back Biden's recent permission for Ukraine to shoot missiles into Russian territory. I don't know why I said "hopeful," because he's already hinted that he'll reinstate the restrictions.

The plane reportedly carrying oligarch dictator Bashar al-Assad has either been shot down, crashed or carried out an Emergency Landing to the West of Homs. Rumors are swirling around Syria as people await information about the fate or whereabouts of the murderous Russian / Iranian backed tyrant.

I just found out that around 20% of the neanderthal genome still exists today in living people!!
No individual person has more than 3 or 4% but we don't all have the same bits. If you add up all the bits we've found, about a fifth of the Neanderthal genome is still present on earth today.

Absolutely love the Green brothers and the good they do for society.
I was just talking to my daughter about how Black Friday sales and fake scarcity are just attempts to hijack psychology for profit and she was like, "But you have a Black Friday sale," BUT THAT'S DIFFERENT ALICE BECAUSE WE ACTUALLY HAVE A LIMITED NUMBER OF GOODS ITS ALL GOING FAST good.store

Insane article. The vast majority of this increase is because we were exposed to burn pits in Iraq and Afghanistan. It’s our generation’s agent orange.
As a burn pit veteran myself, the economist is absolutely wrong here. My guess is there were no burn pit vets on the board that wrote this
