I can't believe how often I have to fact check because real life is more outrageous than satire these days.

Tell me you know nothing about foreign affairs without telling me....

It literally sounded like RFK was reading the script of that old horrific Autism Speaks commercial

Holy Shit. I can not explain how... wtf this is. Never thought I'd be on the same side as Autism Speaks

Eric Michael Garcia @ericmgarcia.bsky.social · Apr 17

Wait, Autism Speaks, ASAN and the Autistic Women and Nonbinary Network all pushed back on RFK Jr.'s comment? People do not realize how much RFK Jr. stepped in it for this to happen.

This is the budget resolution that Republicans have voted for.

Another reminder that we have socialism for the rich, harsh capitalism for the rest.

The 500 richest people in the world added $304B to their combined net worth yesterday after Trump's tariff pause.

Meanwhile, retirees, small businesses, and workers are still reeling from the mess.

Trump's actions feel chaotic until you see who really comes out on top.

Ffs America. What are you allowing?

Do you think polite daytime marching (while you still legally can) is going to fix this once they have cronies in all military and government positions?

This is the truest statement that all people need to hear.

It's why so many Canadians are demanding our government doesn't try to play nice.

We know it buys only temporary reprieve at great cost.

This guy is in one of the worst prisons in the world with no way out and may spend the rest of his life there because, it appears, he has an autism awareness tattoo in honor of his little brother.

It took me 4 minutes to debunk this as it spread like wildfire on social media.

I studied journalism decades ago and believe in fact checking. Many journalists... however, apparently do not.

I'm as left as it gets, but the left can be as vulnerable as the right to believing without evidence

Mike Meyers goes on SNL and manages to help unite people with a t-shirt, his elbow and a couple of silently mouthed words.

Dems in the US can't find a single person to inspire unity because they are so busy censuring those who use their voice too loudly. Pathetic.

Dems ARE the reason I don't have hope

Ask any oppressed group - resistance isn't polite. It's hard fought. It isn't holding tiny signs and censuring your own for being too bold

We know from history what happens when the opposition remains too polite to fight tyranny.

Awwww. Is the poor billionaire upset?

Sadly my bucket of f***s is empty.

I've found myself having to use an unusual amount of them on seniors, trans folks, children, Ukraine, Canada 🇨🇦 Palastinians, disabled folks, women, POC, and vets.

And I'm Canadian. Shame red voting Americans don't care.
