GOOD NEWS! Researchers have developed a cancer vaccine that has shown STUNNING results, PREVENTING up to 88% of MULTIPLE aggressive cancers by harnessing dual-pathway nanoparticles that train the immune system to recognize and destroy tumor cells. In some cases, it COMPLETELY prevented metastasis.

Every bit of this mess that we’re currently enduring is because rich people need more money & they dgaf if you’re hungry or homeless or dead in order for them to get more money

Sure, you can fight. I prefer the trans community get the help they need to thrive right now, not 4 years down the road.

White women didn't either. 52% for the rapist. Not interested in an argument. We agree, but I believe there's a smart way to do something that's more effective than picking a fight.

I'm talking about *this specific thing* i.e., gender affirmingcare, Debbie. Fewer men voted for MVP because of the right-wing conservative weirdoes who took over social media. They presented lies along with politics that ultimately lead to loneliness for these men. It's not just one reason though.

The future of the Democratic Party must be rooted in investing in the American people — not Wall St., corporations, and consultants.

Otherwise, Trumpism will continue to use cynicism, racism, and distrust to divide America.

It's not an opinion dumbass. It's not whether you like country music or heavy metal. JFC. Gender affirming care covers a huge spectrum of services which are all necessary and important for young people.

They should just do it. Don't campaign on it. Just do it. Campaigning brings out small-minded and ungenerous thoughts turned posts from some.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.

The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.

Read that back.

When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

On this date, Matthew Shephard died 27 years ago. He was beaten, tortured, and left for dead on fence for being gay. Please keep him and his wonderful mother Judy in your thoughts. And let's all work for a world where such horrific things do not happen to anyone. ❤️🏳️‍🌈

Hey @jaketapper.bsky.social, I'm no expert on cognitive illnesses, but it feels a bit detached from reality for a sitting POTUS to forget that he was in power during an attack on the U.S. Capitol, doesn't it? Do you know anyone in journalism with experience covering dementia-like symptoms?

This two-parter below is exactly why it's hard to make clothes in the United States.

Let's look at how much it costs to produce a button-up shirt in the US. 🧵

Someone on Twitter replies to me: "meh. buy american or stfu."

Two hours later, in a separate thread, the write: "$30 for a single button-up is ridiculous unless it is decent quality silk."

They don’t know that high profile citizens are being arrested.
They don’t know that people are being treated inhumanly.
BUT, they know they bombed cartels in boats and they KNOW, by sight, an undocumented immigrant to kidnap.
Isn’t it their job to know? 🤔

Two pairs of large, weathered hands hold small piles of fine white granules between thumb and forefinger, sprinkling them downward in symmetrical streams against a warm, dark brown background. The left stream appears as salt, the right as sugar, both indistinguishable in appearance. Centered below the falling granules is white text on a beige overlay: "Be careful who you trust. Salt and sugar look the same." The composition evokes caution through visual similarity and subtle wordplay.
