Right wing influencers like Tucker Carlson are apologizing for getting Trump elected because MAGA is leaving & the money’s drying up.
Leftist/DSA influencers who also got Trump elected are doubling down on attacking Democrats/Harris bc that’s where all the money still is.
Interesting…🧐🤔
NOTHING! I love Breakfast burritos! And breakfast tacos!
Freedom isn’t free, and white supremacist treason worship shouldn’t be tax-deductible.

Vote YES today, Virginia.
Polls close at 7PM.
And even if he prevails against Collins, he'll be a turncoat like Fetterman.
But what I'm sick of is them never being able to argue for their candidate based on realistic policy, and not vibes. What they think someone might do, vs what they HAVE done. Past is too often prologue in politics.
1) Largest action on climate in history (of any country, anywhere)
2) MASSIVE investments in green and sustainable energy
3) Biggest support of unions and working people in history (first President to ever walk a picket line with striking workers)
4) Over $150 Billion in student loan foregiveness
5) Massive increase of protections for public lands and natural preserves
6) Worked with Congress to codify same-sex marriage rights
7) Massive expansion of healthcare subsidies and implemented a cap of $35 on insulin. Tens of millions more got access to affordable healthcare on his watch.
On what planet did any of that happen?
Harris ran a progressive campaign, promising continued progress on all fronts (education, healthcare, childcare, eldercare, housing, environment, climate, student loans, and more).
There was NOTHING she'd be worse than Trump on! That's crazy to even say!
Thank you, Shelley, for sharing your story — kids and families like yours are why I'm so proud that my Administration was able to make free community college permanent here in Maine.

Well since the Department of Education is gone. We might as well start fresh and bring back civics and reading and writing and math and science literacy back into schools from grade K to 12th grade.
Right?? I'd never even heard of it before that, and now I buy it regularly! 😂
Yes. Yes, I would have all of them in the same breakfast if I could. Yes.
That's not actually fair.
Biden had to thread a very tiny, very difficult needle on that issue, and I think he did it better than just about anyone else ever could have.
That too many perceive it as a failure is a problem, but that's mostly due to Media and Leftist Assholes (and Putin Propaganda)
Since apparently my fellow adults On Here have the research skills of fruit flies, here's Bird Nerd On Civics. No, Democrats in the minority can't impeach or do much other than let you know the truth (which, in this era of lies, should actually count). They are doing a lot but they don't have ...
#BirdNerdCivics cont'd: ... majorities. Democrats can't just get on TV either to tell you stuff because our media across our society is racist and in the tank for Trump. That should have been obvious by now. No, they can't just take cannons and take over the federal government, either.
#BirdNerdCivics If you want Democrats to do more stuff, you have to elect them to office in MAJORITIES. Republicans exist and HATE DEMOCRATS and everyone we represent. So you need to YELL AT REPUBLICANS and work to elect Democratic majorities. Not constantly snipe at Dems doing heroic work ...
#BirdNerdCivics cont'd: ... in the minority. Try yelling at your racist white neighbors who keep punching Democrats in the face to cut it the fuck out. Try talking to your relatives about racism and hatred and that they shouldn't let hatred rob us of everything good. Jesus Christ, learn something.
Wow:
More Corruption from the felon.
Screenshot from the website of Yale University Press showing praise for my book, Darwin and the Queer Origins of Life. It reads: “Evolution from an intersex ancestor? What a wondrous Darwinian idea! In this electrifying book, Ross Books helps us see the canon of natural history as queer from the very beginning. Sharp, clever, and as replete with evolutionary diversity as a history of biology could possibly be.”—Alison Bashford, author of An Intimate History of Evolution “Darwin and the Queer Origins of Life is an invigorating read pulsing with queer life. As politically essential as it is compelling, it's a rich counterhistory of biology which shows us how scientists always knew queerness was natural and nature was queer.”—Kit Heyam, author of Before We Were Trans “Ross Brooks’ smart new book is as fun to read as it is useful for rebutting all the bad takes on sexuality and gender that clog contemporary discourse. He has a delightfully ‘queer eye for the hermaphrodite guys’ of life’s evolutionary history, and more than a few arch words for Darwin and other biologists who’ve straightjacketed an abundance of animate forms into an unnatural binary.”—Susan Stryker, author of Changing Gender “Everything you need to know about sex and evolution, but were too indoctrinated by the cisheteropatriarchy to know to ask.”—Subhadra Das, author of Uncivilised “From Linnaeus to Darwin, Brooks brilliantly shows us how biology always has, and will always be, delightfully queer. A much-needed account of the queer history of natural history.”—Josh Luke Davis, author of A Little Gay Natural History “Few know of Darwin’s fascination with the queer biology of sex. This compelling, insightful, and original narrative illustrates Darwin’s (and others’) contributions and hesitancies in the enabling and restricting of queer evolutionary analyses.”—Agustín Fuentes, author of Sex is a Spectrum
Jacket design for Darwin and the Queer Origins of Life: A History of Sex and Science by Ross Brooks. It features a historical, drawn image of a gynandromorph gypsy moth, with distinctive female patterning on its left side and male on its right. Against a black background, the image and text (title and author's name) are brightly rendered in a spectrum of colours resonant of the Progress Pride Flag.
I'm bowled over by the first endorsements my forthcoming book has received. Such brilliant authors - WOW!
You will love it too . . . 🐟🌈📚

The Trump administration is making massive cuts to our science programs. America is a nation of ingenuity, invention, and progress. But when we lower our standards for academic and scientific research, we are only limiting our ability to succeed.
if you're under Porter you gotta drop (thanks Yee)
A slate of anti-trans bills in Nebraska has failed after the state legislature adjourned on 17 April without passing any of the proposed measures.
Be sure to block back!
"We didn't start this fight, but I'm saying to Virginia, we need to finish it." Quote from VA Del. Delores McQuinn
Virginians: Today's the last day to vote on an important redistricting measure.
I hope you'll vote YES—for Virginia, and for the entire country.
You have a chance to help level the playing field as Republicans seek an unfair advantage in Congress. Please take it. Get more info: IWillVote.com/VA
More evidence that "Wall St" is utterly divorced from reality, existing in a bubble of greed and delusion, and utterly amoral.
Sorry Steyer, no billionaires. Porter has a bad rap as an administrator and Becerra is the only one that is qualified!
The reason why MAGA was able to root and evolve as it did is that it started at the lowest level of power.
You got MAGA on school boards.
You got MAGA on medical boards.
You got MAGA congregations.
You got MAGA Boys and Girls Scouts leaders.
All of this before they took on elections...
While Regressives and Leftists are only concerned about the top-level.
The root is where you start to weed out MAGA.
MAGA shouldn't exist on school boards. MAGA shouldn't exist on HOAs.
😂🤣
