The abbreviation ANTIFA should be avoided, or restated after its use.

Yes, "Anti-Fascist."

Very little of the MAGA propaganda works when they are blaming ANTI-FASCISTS, aka the resistance, to FASCISTS Trumpworld / Project 2025.

The Dodgers and Blue Jays have each won 27 innings in the Series, but somehow the Blue Jays have a 3-2 lead. Fucking tariffs, man.

In Feb 2025, Louisiana Surgeon General Ralph Abraham ordered the state health department to stop promoting vaccines.

Now, the news comes out that the health department failed to inform the public or even healthcare professionals about the largest whooping cough outbreak in more than a decade.

Louisiana officials waited months to warn public of whooping cough outbreak

After a whooping cough outbreak killed two infants, Louisiana health officials waited months to officially alert physicians or do public outreach. That's not the typical public health response.

Despite 70% chance of Dodgers winning because they won last night's Game 3 going up a game, but Blue Jays seem to have their mojo back, and in Toronto their bats seem to find every Gap. Starting to think it's going to 7 if J's don't win it in 6.

I present the Nobel Prize wannabe. So peaceful, and at the same time a conservationist.

I just want to point out that I have NEVER called Stephen Miller "Satan's Butt Plug."

What I ACTUALLY said was that Stephen Miller's HEAD was Satan's Butt Plug.

And I wish people would stop twisting my words.

if Stephen Miller is “Satan’s Butt Plug” (credit John Fugelsang
(@johnfugelsang.bsky.social), then what do we call Emil Bove?

Noticed that but now forced to look closer, it's more a Mickey Rooney meets Jack Nicholson mash-up.

Never in the history of the US has any president openly and repeatedly called for the investigation, arrest & prosecution of his political opponents. While many continue to shrug these things off and normalize them, I will never stop pointing out that this is what autocrats do.

Cool we can fund SNAP, pay air traffic controllers, ACA subsidies, all kinds of stuff. Right when we really need it. When do we get the cash?

When referring to anything even tangentially related to politics these days, facts are what you say they are. Need not bother with the minutiae of reality.

My uber straight (cis) father died of breast cancer. With treatment survival rate is typically only 4 years if caught in time.
