An underground right-wing cabal grooming kids to be Nazis in Gym Jordan's home state? Say it isn't so.

Republicans groom because reality turns kids liberal.

Bird flu continues its alarming spread to mammals. These include minks, cats, bears, and other species.

Dr. Isaac Bogoch claims, "This... has epidemic and pandemic potential." Let's hope "bird flu" isn't the next "mild flu" Elon and the #antivax crowd mock as people die.

Canceled a trip to Florida, for several reasons. One was not wanting to spend a penny in a state where extremists are in control and wrecking basic freedoms.

Ah, gotta love malicious compliance.

1/ Well, we made at a whole month into the year before getting a patently unconstitutional "for the children" bill. This one from UT Congressman Chris Stewart, who wants to ban anyone under the age of 16 from social media.

It's violent video games, comic books, and D&D all over again. Just another moral panic.

And he has insurance! And my sister is employed in the hospital he was in, so she had some tactical advantages. We're immeasurably lucky.

elderly care in this country is an absolute embarrassment

we've been trying to get my 86 year old father into an elderly care rehab facility after a three week hospital stay and it's just been the dumbest shit show imaginable on every level from insurance to just getting somebody to clip his toenails

I am so thankful to be on #Medicare. I receive expensive E#immunotherapy & because it's an approved therapy for a diagnosis I have, Medicare just approves it, no fuss no muss.

A private insurer would make life miserable for me. This story of a family that sued United Healthcare is a rare glimpse inside the dirty workings of an insurer. Nice work, @ProPublica

Education can empower women and girls against various forms of oppression, injustice, and misogyny.

With the Taliban’s education ban, this form of empowerment is attacked. #LetAfghanGirlsLearn

@KimPerales the hysteria over the debt and deficits when there’s a Democratic President, and the lack of concern when there’s a Republican, gives the game away. Republicans love to spend money, just on things that benefit the wealthy and connected.

House Republicans's priorities:

30% sales tax
Hunter Biden
Ilhan Omar
Gas stoves
Woke M & Ms
AP African American History
Socialism
CRT

What ever happened to fighting inflation?

It literally took the trust fund media elite decades to realize their white, affluent, pro capitalism definition of objectivity was flawed and easily exploited by corporations and authoritarians

Republicans are trying to use the legitimacy of the House to veil their bigotry. But the internet exists, and their documented racism toward Ilhan Omar is available for all to see.
