when i see how easily people struggle to discern between *obvious* lafufus & legitimate labubus, i am starting to understand why they have such a hard time doing the same with disinformation online.

A Florida weatherman telling his viewers he can no longer be confident in his forecasts due to cuts to atmospheric science is the kind of resistance content I’m here for.

Jonathan Joss (Comanche, White Mountain Apache) did not simply die from a gunshot. He was murdered in a homophobic, racist hate crime by his former neighbors. He died saving his partners life. Honor his legacy-- both queerness and Indigeneity are inextricable to why he was targeted.

It's really not. When Dems bother fighting back with arguments, they easily win this issue every time. When they stick their head in the sand and ignore it, they lose.

It is amazing to me that Dems are pressured to water down their messaging in order to avoid alienating 'centrists,' but Republicans can round up and deport sobbing children without fear of alienating 'centrists.' Says a lot about what we mean when we say 'centrists'
my kingdom for anyone on the “dems should take culturally moderate positions” to explain what this actually means in practice? www.thebulwark.com/p/hard-calls...

Democrats want to win over more moderate voters. But are they willing to adopt moderate positions?

Reminder that wellness grifters like Trump’s new Surgeon General Casey Means spread misinformation about vaccines and health because it is extremely profitable for them to do so.

Jamie Dimon says the *best case* scenario for the US is now a recession.
Cool, cool. From the best economy in the world to a self-inflicted recession in 4 months.
Gotta be some kind of record.

I will never forget in the late 00s reading a book written in the first half of the decade about fast food service workers, and how to give them a $1/hour raise the cost of a burger would have to increase…$0.01.

Your child is more likely to die from measles than get beat by one of their trans peers in an athletic competition, and I wish our government's actions would reflect that.

I have been working on this project for about 14 months now: I’m finally to the blocking phase for these 6 10-stitch modular squares. Now I get to figure out how I want to put them together and work on sashings + a border. I’m hoping to finish before the year is up.

Middle age + chemo destroyed my ability to raw dog my neurodivergencies and function on an acceptable level. I’m putting a stupid amount of brain space + effort into constructing a rigid external structure to hold myself up so I don’t spend every day smoking out my ears having accomplished nothing.

In this interview Schumer is so delulu and out of touch and wrong. I vote in CA but if you’re a NY voter, I hope you alll can find someone to primary him. He is unfit for the moment as are many of his colleagues.
