Feed the poor, house the homeless, protect the vulnerable, comfort the afflicted, afflict the comfortable.

Don’t tolerate the intolerant; spread love and practice empathy.

Be skeptical, research the issue and demand evidence.

2) What I want to know is how in the fucking hell can we make him blink and change his mind about all the horrific policy decisions he’s made. that have led to illegal deportations, suspension of 1st Amendment rights for the unchosen, and firing thousands of workers, etc., etc.

1) He blinked under pressure from Wall Street. Huh. Guess we never saw that one coming…not. A classic move like so many in his first term.

The Ineffable Trump…let’s all send him some effable F’s.
There is this notion by some that Trump can't be this stupid about...everything. Therefore, he must have a plan the rest of us can't see and he must be smart. But he has proven over and over that yes, he really is that stupid and heartless.

We need counter programming. Every week. In primetime.

Susan Crawford was handed a golden opportunity when Musk went to Wisconsin to campaign for loser Brad Schimel, who “played bass with his classic rock cover band at his election night party…covering songs by the Allman Brothers, Tom Petty and others.”—Now that’s a travesty of justice.

Schumer defied his effin’ base.🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
Schumer setting up “Trump defies the Supreme Court” as the moment when we must fight authoritarianism is incredibly stupid and dangerous.

1. Trump has already unconstitutionally defied Congress and Schumer didn’t do anything.

2. Why should we expect this Supreme Court to limit Trump?
Schumer: "If he defies the Supreme Court, then we are in uncharted territory ... our entire democracy is at risk. I believe that if Donald Trump should defy the courts, the public will rise up. Democrats will fight it in every single way ... autocrats only succeed if the public lets them."

Studies have shown that vitamin A is helpful in preventing measles—among populations who are *Vitamin A deficient*. That isn’t so in the US general population. If a child already receives sufficient Vitamin A, overdosing them may lead to acute and/or chronic health issues.

Did you hear about the new "study" on people who say they were injured by the COVID vaccine? Well, it's actually 1) a preliminary look at 42 people 2) who all self-reported their symptoms and vaccine history 3) and it hasn't been peer reviewed. Oh and it's terrible

No, a New “Study” Doesn’t Prove COVID Vaccines are Unsafe
Over the past few weeks, I’ve noticed a few comments here and there asking me what I think about the new COVID vaccination study. And it was weird because I tend to be generally aware of research i…

I’ve saw MAGA post on FB saying since liberals hate DOGE we shouldn’t accept a $5,000 check from the government, if that happens (I’m doubtful) Fine. I’ll do that on the day they reject all Social Security Income.

The Supreme Court, in its first ruling on President Trump’s use of executive power during his second term, decided that he cannot, for now, dismiss the government lawyer leading the watchdog agency responsible for protecting whistle-blowers.
