This was fun! I joined @gerkie313.bsky.social and Christian Hotchkiss on the for St. Pete’s Sake podcast for a direct conversation about the Trump administration attacks on #equality generally and the #transgender public specifically.

HHS also includes the Administration for Children and Families, which houses vital offices that oversee early childhood programs (ie Head Start) and the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ie services for unaccompanied immigrant youth) among other things to keep children safe. A catastrophe, indeed.
Public health experts and scientists say RFK could do "infinite" damage if he's appointed to lead HHS. It's not just vaccines or fluoride: it's Medicaid and Medicare funding, drug development, cancer research, funding for Indian Health Service... it's endless. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
Trump's nomination of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is “a genuine catastrophe.”
As Secretary of Health and Human Services, the “damage he could do is near infinite.”

Did the Nazis vote for the white rich guy who wants to deport people or did they vote for the biracial woman we're not sure
CNN's Dana Bash on the neo-Nazis marching in Columbus: "We don‘t know what side of the aisle this comes from. I mean, typically, neo-Nazis are from the far right. You had protests from the far left at your house as a Jewish member."

Be fucking serious with the American people. Tell them that the Speaker of the House wants to hide the fact that Trump’s nominee for Attorney General engaged in sexual misconduct. Tell them that Republicans want to force another sexual predator on the country. Fight for a better country. My God.
As Mike Johnson works to bury the Gaetz report Hakeem Jeffries is talking about - checks notes - bipartisanship.

The House of Representatives should follow the precedent it set with Rep. Bill Boner by releasing the Matt Gaetz ethics report after a member resigns.

Yes, there really was a guy named Bill Boner and Matt Gaetz is really going to share his fate.

Florida man is out Florida-ing himself this time.

For years now, the right has been accusing Democrats of running a shadowy conspiracy to protect politicians who are sex predators.

Democrats need to scream "WHAT ARE THEY HIDING?" until they force the report's release.

This is the guy who told the United States Supreme Court that the President could dispatch Seal Team 6 to assassinate a political opponent and have immunity when doing so.

“Women for Trump” and the pie from The Help have a lot in common. They might seem sweet, at first…but ultimately they’re just a baked crust full of sh*t and sugar.

BlueSky is filling a void that 35+ up been looking for. Social media should be a cool distraction. Not stressful and annoying. Folks wanna laugh and have healthy banter and wit and sarcasm. A feeling of community. Not all these bots and ads and weird ass algorithms and engagement farming

NEW: Part of the DOJ probe into Gaetz focused on a party at an Orlando-area home in 2017. Witnesses said that Gaetz attended the party, where young women, including the minor, were given drugs and bedrooms were made available for sexual activities.

My paternal great-grandfather was a doctor for what became the CIA during WWI. Shortly after the war he abandoned my great-grandmother and grandmother and was never heard from again. No obit or anything. Family lore is he went underground for the govt and who knows what happened then...
Give me one interesting fact about your family history that you learned.

The reason we know about RFK Jr’s brain worm is that he mentioned it during a divorce deposition, to argue that he was cognitively impaired and therefore had limited earning potential.
Now he’s up for a cabinet post

Stories like these seem quaint at this point since this will not matter at all. It might elicit a slight grimace of concern from Susan Collins, but there are few Republicans left who care about people pal-ing around w/ genocidal white Christian nationalists. Trump ate dinner w/ Nick Fuentes, FFS.

Stuff like this really helps me understand why the right is always calling white liberal folks virtue signaling. Because there is an emotional and moral inconsistency that is just wild.
