It is utterly insane that a deeply unpopular, extremely illegal and economically devastating war is obscuring news about credible allegations that the president of the United States raped, physically assaulted and then blackmailed a child.

When you have dementia you keep playing the scripts you are most familiar with. My mom would revert to saying how much she loved her dog. Trump talks about the ballroom and covering his crimes.

"God is nonbinary." I'm starting to understand why Republicans are terrified of Talarico. He's using Christianity to expose the moral failings of the right.

Over 160 schoolgirls are dead. Anthropic and Palantir executives must immediately testify and tell the public whether their AI is responsible.

The last photo of third-grader Mikaeil Mirdoraghi, waving to his mom before he left for school. He was killed shortly after in the U.S./Israeli strike on a primary school in Minab.

Exactly! I am not trans either but it is human rights, safety and dignity for everyone. It seems an easy clear message and the only one I will support.

It’s looking increasingly likely that Kristi Noem and Lewandowski funneled almost 200 million in government money to a company that is run by her friend and that nobody can give an address for.

Oh, and it was 8 days old when it was awarded the contract.

Watch this.

19 minutes and $12 to get meds at a public Chinese hospital. Without insurance.

As we slash Medicaid to start unnecessary wars and cut taxes for the rich. πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ

Bad Internet Bills All of the bad internet bills. One website.

THREAD: Whenever imperialist governments go to war, they become more authoritarian at home.

That makes censorship bills like KOSA, ID checks, and attacks on Section 230 even more dangerous.

Online protest, documenting war crimes, even news articles could be suppressed.

I wholeheartedly second this! Go get the HPV vaxx! I finished my set of shots 4 years ago (got them at Planned Parenthood!). The age limit is 45 now, so if you're a Millennial who missed out on the vaxx when you were younger, there's still time!

When Putin needed pretext for creating "The Red Web", Russia's authoritarian system of online censorship that effectively bans LGBTQ speech, he did it through the EXACT same moral panic about social media and kids that liberals and many leftists are spreading today.

WELL NOW, would you look at that?

BLM Announces Plan to Fell Oregon's Last Great Forests One billion board feet per year... 30 days to make your voice heard.

You only have a short time to comment. They are trying to destroy our forests to enrich a few logging company executives and the politicians they’ve paid off.

I think I am understanding. If that protest vote was in WA or CA it doesn't make a difference due to the winner take all structure of the electoral college. Some states a protest vote makes no difference in another state it makes a big difference.

The largest group every election is non-voters. Over 1/3. Your vote is designed to not matter, which de-incentivizes voting, through the structure of the electoral college. The protest votes or non-votes only matter based on the state. Thank you electoral college. /s
