BREAKING: Americans died for the right to unionize. A Trump Executive Order terminated labor union protections for federal employees.

Today, for the first time, 20 House Republicans joined Democrats to nullify the executive order.

Q: How can this man be adored by millions?

A: "Think of how stupid the average person is, then realize that half of them are stupider than that"
—George Carlin

The ignorance & hate is hard to bear!

People need to open their eyes, though, because that hate & cruelty could end up hurting them.

This should be the biggest story in the country right now. The sitting US President was extorting state lawmakers from his own party by threatening to withhold public money if they didn’t gerrymander for him.

I don’t know how else to say it…

This is an impeachment offense, and if our press were worth half of a quarter of a shit, it would be all over every single channel, kind of like Joe Biden being a bit slow with a name now and then.

Deadnaming a former Assistant Secretary of HHS and selfless public servant on her official portrait is an act of cruelty and a clear violation of basic dignity.

Admiral Levine served this country honorably. Targeting her, and all trans Americans, is bigoted, cruel, and completely unacceptable.

I made a Chrome extension that swaps Times New Roman for Calibri on every site or just .gov. It also had Open Sans and Open Dyslexic, because f**k these people.

I’m waiting for Google’s approval for it to install automatically, but you can download it and install it in 90 seconds. Instructions 👇

Six months after ICE apprehended 47 people, including nine kids, in Hays County, Tex., County Judge Ruben Becerra said DHS has ignored his attempts to get answers:

“We’re not told why they took them, and we’re not told where they took them. By definition, that’s a kidnapping.”

We’re about to enter another election cycle, one that is going to be very tough. Everyone has different talents and different roles to play. Figure out what yours is and run with it. Sitting on the sidelines is not allowed. We all have to be engaged and do what it takes to win in November.
As we head into the new year, remember this. At some point each and every one of us will have to make a sacrifice to fight fascism here. Prepare your mind for it.

Prasad, Makary and others who claim that COVID19 vaccines killed 10 children are not telling the truth.

According to @jeremyfaust.bsky.social, the committee that worked on this question reported that there were ZERO deaths that they were certain were caused by the vaccines.

Well worth reading.
Scoop: FDA vaccine chief’s memo cited 10 pediatric Covid-19 vaccine deaths—but the agency’s own analysis found 0–7.
Dr. Vinay Prasad circulated a memo before FDA scientists finished their work. His conclusions overshot what the agency’s own analysts ultimately found.
