Reading the story about the woman in Georgia who is brain dead and on a vent but not allowed to die with dignity because she was 9 weeks pregnant when she was declared brain dead. Even in death, our bodies are not our own.

What happened to all that outrage when Republicans were pissed at DEMs for not standing to clap when trump used a cancer survivor kid as a political prop?
Y'all are pretty fucking quiet after he deported that 4 year old cancer patient, you fake Christians.

These people just lie and lie and lie and make up stuff.
The ridiculous Pamela Jo Bondi claims that fentanyl seizures since Trump retook office have saved 258 million lives (the US only has a total population of 340 million.)
The *truth* is that from Jan 2025 (Biden) to February 2025 (Trump), fentanyl seizures were DOWN 41%.

Today I saw a video of some politician in some hearing about how the constitution works (re: moves to impeach judges) kind of stumbling over her words, and sounding like she said President Chump instead of Trump. Probably not intentional, but accurate 😂😂

I'm not Catholic, but i had a lot of respect for this pope.
The pope was a strong advocate for the poor and the environment and a towering figure on the world stage, addressing not just Catholics but the men and women of our time.
Pope Francis, who reached out to the margins of society, has died at 88

Merriam- Webster's social media posts always crack me up
The “in effect; virtually” meaning of 'literally' is not a new sense.
It has been in regular use since the 18th century and may be found in the writings of Mark Twain, Charlotte Brontë, James Joyce, and many others.

Dr Peter Marks, "Vaccines have been studied very extensively for being potentially associated with autism"
"That theory has been debunked"
"One study in Denmark, over 600,000 children. It shows that if anything, children had a lower rate of autism than unvaccinated children"

Y'all should read this thread
The House just passed its budget resolution, so reconciliation is now officially underway. This is their bill to destroy Medicaid and SNAP while cutting taxes disproportionately for the rich.
THIS IS VERY REAL and can be enacted even if all Ds vote no.
Thread on what's to come and WHERE TO FIGHT.

Using prayer as protest, Tenn. clergy disrupt debate to deny education to immigrant children
The bill nevertheless earned the vote of 8 Republicans to advance out of a Tennessee House committee Monday

A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die.
Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.

Elon Musk’s departure from his government advisory role has been framed as voluntary, yet under U.S. law, special government employees are limited to 130 days of service. His exit was not a choice—it was a legal inevitability.

Seriously, the LR couch with the heated throw has been my best chance for a long, deep, Sunday afternoon nap in recent months. It was an emotional week and I'm glad I got the chance to catch up on some sleep today. Now if only I could fully wake back up!
