We could have avoided tonight’s #Republican fiasco had #Democrats won just 6 more seats. That’s why I’m launching an initiative to help the races we need to win to take back the #House. We can’t do it without you. Can you BOOST and donate even just $5?
Thank you!
@SusanBee @BlackAzizAnansi I was in a CVS pharmacy a couple of days ago--wearing an N95 mask--and the guy in front of me took off his mask in order to cough and then put it back on when he was done. WTF?!
ICE made over 142,000 arrests this past fiscal year — nearly double the number conducted in the previous year, when apprehensions dropped to pandemic-era lows, according to government figures.

Not-so-slowly but surely, being on #Twitter feels like sleeping "just one more time" with that abusive ex, long after realizing the relationship has turned toxic. Now I come to Mastodon for the real news, instead of watching a bunch of fascist-enabling dorks jacking each other off.
Glasgow University is 572 years old today.
This means that when it was founded in 1451, the Aztec Empire still ruled Mexico, the Incas still ruled Peru and the last remaining part of the Roman Empire (the Byzantine Empire) still ruled modern day Turkey.
Modern English had not widely replaced Middle English and trebuchets were still being used in battle.

CPAC leader Matt Schlapp has been accused of sexual assault by a Herschel Walker campaign staffer. CPAC is disgracefully blaming “the Left.”
Unfortunately for them, there are tapes.
Hear the new audio directly from the Walker staffer: https://youtu.be/ux8ubxJF12s
A football player has a heart attack and every station talks about it for days, it headlines the papers. A teacher gets shot in the face by a student and ... there's a little article. No follow up today. WTH America? #sportscenter #CBS #npr #cnbc #press
Confirmed. The deal that McCarthy struck with the insurrectionists includes holding America’s economy hostage using the debt ceiling so fascists can cut Medicare and Social Security to the sick and elderly.
This is a vicious cult that not only does not care about human beings, it is aggressively trying to kill us.

If McCarthy wins tonight, it will be because - on January 6, of all days - he put members who were implicated in J6 in positions of great power. Will the so-called "moderate" Rs object, or will they simply repeat the "silence of our friends" mistake they made 2 years ago?

What's happening in Washington is strategy rather than "chaos," and it's a glaring reminder of the fact that there is no middle ground between authoritarianism and democracy. #J6

I collected this rock core back in Nov. 2021. Bringing samples from rocks like this back to Earth for closer study could be really revealing.🔬

Five down, five to go, as I lay down my backup set of 10 samples.
In this tube: a core sample from a rock that formed from magma, then was altered by water several times. It could help scientists understand the early history of this area, when life may have been present. 🔎🪨
#PerseveranceRover
Meanwhile, here’s more on what my team learned from early studies of this rock and others like it: http://go.nasa.gov/3s848ml

@GottaLaff pretty sure they're connected. How about working on catching the insurrectionists.
"The homes or offices of five elected Democratic officials in #NewMexico, including the new attorney general, have been hit by #gunfire over the past month, and authorities are working to determine if the attacks are connected."#news
