I'm so embarrassed to have ever backed or supported this πŸ‘πŸ‘’ πŸ’©πŸ€‘

He "disagrees" but is fine with harming vets and others. Disgusting. Shut the gov't down. It's better than the Sword of Damocles so many gov't employees are living under.

If there's anything the MAGA crowd is good at it's making sure that all forms of child abuse is legal.

Terrific.

Congress just approved the undoing of a department created by Congress and, by law, should only be able to be uncreated by Congress.

Which I guess they did, but not how they should have, because nothing makes sense any more.

Medical Error Is Not The Third Leading Cause Of Deaths The bad science behind a commonly-cited statistic

Medical error is not the "third leading cause of death". This is a lie based on a truly woeful paper.

I've unlocked the piece because apparently this disinformation is now being shared by RFK Jr. and the US federal government. Feel free to share!

I have some friends who I have not spoken to much for years. They are SchrΓΆdinger's MAGA only because I am afraid to open the box and find out if they voted for The Tangerine Terrorist.

An image of a superhero similar to Superman taking flight, with the words, "My work here is done. Pedantic Man... AWAY!!!"

Just to be pedantic, another fun fact: The first instance of DEI is often considered to be when, in the late 19th century, military veterans were given preference for certain government positions.

I agree 100%.

Fetterman made big waves in Pgh with his work as mayor of Braddock. I followed his career after I moved away.

I cannot imagine 2006 Fetterman acting like this. I'm disheartened & disappointed with his actions the past year+.

He's never been perfect but this is a total & scary 180.

Gee... I mean, it's not like the current president got SCOTUS to declare that presidents can get away with doing illegal things, or re-ran for office to avoid his convictions on 34 felonies or his punishments for the other legal cases he's lost...

Illegal is the middle name of this administration.

I can't find the screenshot or failed to take it, but someone else said that "DEI was created *not* to give jobs to unqualified minorities, but to hire qualified minorities for the jobs that would normally be handed to unqualified white men just because they're white men."

As boycotts start being organized, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE remember that some people do not have freedom to pick where they shop.

If it's the difference between their food budget lasting to the end of the month or people going hungry because they paid higher prices, please let them eat and survive.

From user rbreich (Robert Reich), a diagram of two overlapping circles. One labeled "Agencies impacted by sudden Trump firings" and the other "Agencies investigating Musk's companies".  In the overlapping center are a list of agencies: Transportation, interior, Justice, Agriculture, LRB, EEOC, CFPB, SEC, Defense, Federal Election Commission, Office of Gov't Ethics.

DOGE has started by going after the departments and orgs that were investigating mElon and his companies.

This isn't just about P2025. It's also about putting more money into mElon's pockets.

Social media is full of Dem Reps talking about fighting to win the latest disaster vote.

The comments demand to know why they let the vote happen at all.

South Korea handled their fascist fuckwad. We're weak and wimpy.

Hey, Dems: YOU CANNOT PLAY NICE WITH FASCISTS.

Grow a spine already.

Bream gives Hegseth every opportunity to bullshit his way out of it, and Pete just goes right ahead and says the quiet part out loud: lawyers shouldn’t be β€˜roadblocks to anything that happens’ β€” which is christofascist shitweaselspeak for β€˜we’re definitely going to be doing a lot of illegal shit, and the last thing we need is some lawyer telling us we can’t.’

fuck every Republican who voted to confirm this unhinged zealot. when shit goes sideways, and human rights end up on the wrong end of a firing squad, these fuckface Senators are never going to be able to wash the bloodstains off their hands.

That poor kid. She must live somewhere with horrible, if any, sex ed. And nobody's ever taught her about consent - I mean, *really* taught her what it means.

She needs to tell her parents and dump his ass. And if her parents won't support her, she needs to dump their asses, too.

Remember that everything in The Handmaid's Tale is based on something that has happened in the world.

In the book the country fell gradually. Lots of smoke & mirror, & small actions. People protested.

One day they said, "Hey, the Constitution is on hold for just a little bit."

And it was gone.

REALLY tired of the ignorance of SpaceX, which is mostly doing good in spite of mElon thinking he's in charge there.

Rockets exploding during testing is NORMAL. Always has been.

SpaceX shouldn't run the FAA because their rockets explode.

They shouldn't because ROCKETS ARE NOT AIRPLANES.

FFS.

Reminder that the crap they're spreading is that there are 150-year-old people collecting SS and it's all because the SSA uses software built with an older language called COBOL which calculates dates by counting seconds since 1875.

If they don't know a birthdate they put a 0. Do the math.

Growing up, there was The Bathroom & then the parents' bathroom.

After it was just my SisBitch living at home, the parents' bathroom became The Girls' Bathroom for mother & SisBitch, and the other was The Boys' Bathroom, for father & the (male) cats' litter box.

Anne Frank's family tried to get US refugee status and was repeatedly denied.

Some of the German part of my family managed to get to the US right after WW I; once some were here it was a bit easier for others. Others waited too long. Only a few survived the camps.

Let's make this clear:

The Space Nazi is incompetent with 0 training in engineering [or computers].

The SpaceX engineers are NOT incompetent AT ROCKET SHIPS.

Newly designed rockets can explode during testing. That's been true since, roughly, forever.

Rockets Are Not AIRPLANES.

My first question: Why is this critical data not also on off-site backups stored in a secure location that the Space Nazi isn't smart enough to know about?

There should be tapes in a vault somewhere that's in a guarded building. Seriously.
