The visual juxtaposition of joy and optimism vs cruelty and violence can be very powerful. I am enraged with the current administration and am trying to channel that energy. I personally won't be dancing, but I do understand the rationale for it.

Spy magazine! It was so hilarious. Trump was featured constantly. And yes he is a cheap greedy bastard.

Streisand effect activated! Now people will want to read the passages in question, and Melania will be even more closely tied to Epstein's name.

Has anyone checked in with Justine Bateman lately to see how well she's breathing in this exciting new era?

Justine Bateman feels like she can breathe again in 'new era' after Trump win

Justine Bateman feels like she can breathe again after the presidential election. She's not alone – though many disagree.

It appears Bloomberg News has also missed the big point, as well as several smaller ones. 🖕

Another GOP clown from Ohio. In my advocacy work I no longer agree to meet with his office. His staff have ghosted scheduled meetings, and times when they did show up didn't even have the courtesy to turn on their video for Zoom calls. Very disrespectful and worthy of disdain. Vote him out!

Why are we being subjected to this? Why? Please leave it alone. Aside from the *very freaking obvious* differences between these men, Malcolm X was 60 years ago before the internet, podcasts, social media, not to mention that Kirk has the entire federal executive pushing him on us. Please just stop.

PFAS forever chemicals cause kidney cancer, & service members are exposed to these hazards at higher rates than civilians. Congress must reinstate funding for FY26 for Kidney Cancer Research Program through DOD, after eliminating it entirely for FY25. It's outrageous!

Perfection

I wake up each morning pre-annoyed, and each day my mood is justified before I have finished breakfast. Dems expect so many of us to be unconditionally loyal, but they throw Black women, trans people and others under the bus for the absolutely stupidest reasons. (As if there were any good ones.) 🤬

Thanks for posting, Sid. I read this first thing this morning and have shared it far and wide. No mention of CDMRP or KCRP (Kidney Cancer Research Program) and the appalling cuts for 2025. Very curious to see what happens with the 2026 budget...

Require all health insurance companies who sell policies in Ohio to provide no cost COVID vaccines to all policy holders. Period. Ignore the CDC and protect the health of Ohio residents.

I wrote to Moreno from Ohio & got this reply "Individuals who do not meet the age or medical eligibility criteria for a COVID vaccine should consult their physician to determine if they are able to obtain a prescription to receive it." My wife has stage 4 kidney cancer but I can't get the shot. 😡

My wife is a zodiac cancer. And she has cancer. And we live in Ohio. This is a little too close to home!

The question was about "trans drugs" (whatever those are?!?) and RFK Jr answered with SSRIs. Do Fox viewers know what these are and that they have absolutely nothing to do with being trans? Of course not! What a sick and slick trick to conflate the two. All intentional and totally disgusting.
