That’s not how you science.

Tweet from Republicans Against Trump says: “RFK Jr: There’s no proof that Tylenol causes autism. We’re doing the studies to make the proof.” Below is a photo of a White House meeting showing RFK Jr., Marco Rubio, and Donald Trump at a long conference table.

I know everything is getting worse and Trump is trying to dismantle America, but all of this is a sign of a very weak, desperate Presidency that realizes it's unpopular and has lost the majority.

The economy sucks, the Epstein Files aren't released, and people didn't vote for a MAGA dictatorship.

I mean, you keep the kids from dying. Anything else you do on an emergency like this is gravy. They don’t need clean pjs when mom is in the ambulance.

Poor little pup Daniel thought he was finally going to get adopted and have a family of his own - but the folks never showed! Can you help this sweet little guy out? Please share to spread the word - or apply to adopt or foster him at @ahomeoftheirown.bsky.social (DMV/DC metro area)!

Would it not make more sense to worry about all those women denied a legal abortion not loving their children, rather than one who could have aborted but chose to?

wait it's possible to move from pilot studies to permanent implementation of basic income? please tell everyone except Andrew Yang about this

Mike Sowden @mikeachim.bsky.social · 4d

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:
www.citizensinformation.ie/en/employmen...

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."

When Trump is about to do something awful, he signals ahead so that people can get acclimated to the idea. It reduces the likelihood of a blow up from people due to the shock.

Brace yourselves America. You put him in power. Get ready for the road to fascism to accelerate at a fast pace.

This article manages to name her husband before it names… her.

Article reads:
Woman named as Archbishop of Canterbury in historic first

The 63-year-old archbishop-designate is married to Eamonn Mullally, with whom she has two children. Originally from Woking in Surrey, she was the UK's chief nursing officer from 1999 to 2004.

It's easy to scoff at Trump designating as a "terrorist organization" something that's not an *organization* at all.

I have different view.

When you declare an idea rather than an organization to be terrorism, you can declare *anyone* a terrorist.

And that is what he will do.

This is horrifying.

I think they’re using trans people as their lead Other — the focus of hate and fear, which is very politically powerful, as the Nazis knew.

Evil Orc Heart @evanurquhart.bsky.social · 23d

I believe this to my core. They're using trans people as a test case to dismantle individual rights in the US.

Racheline Maltese @racheline.bsky.social · 23d

Trans rights are not the rights of a tiny minority, trans rights are everyone’s rights to self-determination, control of our bodies, and a society where opportunity and aesthetics are not restricted by sex assigned at birth

You should support and defend trans people because trans people are people

Fast forward a few years, all these same dipshits who refused to rescue women, refused to take women to hospital, refused to stop assaulting and murdering women, will be wailing at the lack of women.
Unfortunately don't think robot women have made it there yet.

And let's dive even into the numbers, the majority of Korean American women in Georgia voted for Harris 78.9%. That being said, Korean American MEN fell over their feet to vote for Trump not only due to bigotry, but their deep seeded misogyny stemming from strict cultural patriarchy.

Two government officials report that Pete Hegseth's rationale for the murder came together after the fact. Trump murdered 11 people. #3E
