RFK Jr. showing his eugenicist beliefs. Here he is today at The City Club in Cleveland: "The average American who died from COVID had 3.8 chronic diseases. So what was really killing them? It was almost impossible for COVID to kill a healthy person. It was killing people who were already sick."

If you were horrified watching elected leaders run & scramble because of gun violence, just imagine how my daughter Jaime felt in school running from an active shooter before she was killed. Now, become a part of the solution & only vote for people determined to address gun violence in America.

Idk man, I think the journalists who have been traumatized the most were not sitting in that room tonight. The feds gassed the shit out of us, knocked us over, sent in the local PD to harass, detain, and hurt us, shot a teenaged photographer in the face and he lost an eye, and that's just in LA

Donald Trump called Somalis “animals.” He said Haitians eat dogs and cats. You fucking journalists had a party with him and now you want our sympathy. Fuck off.

Ew Moleskine used genAI for their Lord of the Ring collection by mentioning they used it, then entirely removing the claim after some backlash. Incredibly shitty of them for a brand that claims human creativity. cjleo.com/blog/moleski...

This will upset many powerful Texans, but it is absolutely necessary. The Eastland family has no further business having children in their care. And the personality cult around them must be broken to ensure the safety of all current & future campers in the Texas Hill Country.

This is why we need public scholarship. As soon as the @cbsnews.com.web.brid.gy newscaster asked about Trump saying the image was him as a doctor, @candidamoss.bsky.social cites the 2000 years of historical iconography that indicated to everyone that the AI image was meant to cast Trump as Jesus.

As big as a fascist loser as Orban is, he's conceded. Trump wouldn't. In fact, he is still too much of a coward and twerp to have conceded 2020. Trump's last words will be "I will live forever"🤦🏼‍♂️

Probably JD Vance's highest profile week on the world stage, and he has completely fucked it up. Orban not just defeated, but annihilated, and absolute diplomatic failure in negotiations with Iran. Just a stain of a man.

I've now seen several posts from Democratic US Senators and House Reps calling for Congress to return to DC, and my only reaction to seeing these is: Do it. Just get on a plane and go back to DC. The House is in Recess, not adjourned. There was a pro forma session today. Go. Lead by example.

The President is openly threatening genocide. A crime against humanity. He must be removed from office. The 25th Amendment must be invoked. If not, Congress has to do our damn job. Speaker Johnson, call us into session. War powers & impeachment. Remove this man from office.

Donald Trump has lost his mind, and his threats to wipe out the Iranian people should be taken seriously. He’s out of control and his cabinet and those around him must be loyal to the Constitution and invoke the 25th Amendment. He must be removed.
