It might get me labeled as a Crazy Bluesky Radical, but I don’t think it’s great that our nuclear arsenal is at the disposal of a demented old man who’s just an exposed nerve of grievances and hatreds with absolutely no impulse control.

It says a lot about our political media environment that Democrats are called upon to defend things they never said and Republicans are allowed to emerge unscathed for things they're literally recorded saying.

There's no evidence Trump has ever driven a damn car.
He has never mowed a lawn.
He has never shoveled a walk.
He has never changed a lightbulb.
He has never washed dishes.
He has said he never ever changed a diaper and he has four children.

something you have to understand about Trump & his weird comments about the economy is that the dude hasn't paid for anything like a normal person in decades - never pumps gas, never buys groceries - so he's completely & utterly out of touch with what life is like for most of us

when RFK says he wants to “end chronic disease,” what people hear is “he wants to cure us” but what he means is “i want to cull the weak”
Republicans are waging a generalized war on science, but I think many of them don’t fully grok that RFK isn’t at war with science alone or per se: he’s at war with sick people, and of the view that only the lucky should be allowed to survive into old age. They are know nothings, he is Mengele.
RFK Jr. has now officially stated that he will dismantle the United States Preventive ServicesTask Force (USPSTF).

The obligation to help mitigate the effects of climate change are on all of us but rest much more heavily on the wealthy and corporations that have been poisoning the planet for decades than it does on you not wanting to sit in a 90 degree apartment and don’t let anyone gaslight you otherwise

Yes, temperatures are rising. But more and more AC means more and more CO2 – and then more and more global heating. Let’s have some long-term thinking instead, writes Guardian columnist Emma Beddington

The Times is committed to a specific kind of journalistic kayfabe, specifically “objective” journalism, a relatively recent phenomenon born out of the wake of newspaper consolidation that began in the 1950s.

Imagine if the Democratic Party actually helped Zohran instead of trying to kneecap him at every step. A better party is immediately possible if they stop shoving money into the anti-trans combination Racism Dial/Money Toilet and instead get behind candidates people actually want.

The main symptom of the human virus that is Donald Trump is that he makes it impossible to go a full hour without thinking about the thing he just did that's horrifying and stupid and dangerous
It’s tough because I largely agree with people saying we should have a better balance on here between politics and other things but then the President declares war or a bunch of people get kidnapped and it feels a little silly to finish typing out “what’s your favorite Futurama episode”
