In February 1777, General George Washington ordered the first mass immunization campaign in American history by mandating that his troops be inoculated against smallpox. He protected the Continental Army from an epidemic that was deadlier than British forces.
249 years later, we have this idiot.
Is that bad? Seems bad
This illustrates the need for broad and comprehensive reforms with money in politics. We need an international “No Dictators Day” before he steps up his attack on the nation he was supposed to govern, not humiliate. 😱🤬
This man is our nation’s enemy. He must be impeached. The world is watching.. 🤺🇺🇸
🍾 That’s something to celebrate. Ukraine's GUR hit two large Russian landing ships in occupied #Crimea while they were sitting in Sevastopol Bay.

Covid is officially airborne!
Why aren’t all clinically vulnerable eligible for vaccines?
Why isn’t everyone? We have over 3 million with long covid. ONS is out of date. No screening in place, no testing. Very high priced unaffordable private vaccines. No wonder we have
What was Johnson’s sloganism all about “learn to live with Covid”? He destroyed infection prevention with this one phrase, the most damaging piece of propaganda in our countries history. It seems innocuous doesn’t it. The concept of moving on as a country but this isn’t the only take.
This isn't a win. The people who knowingly caused the problem received no consequences for their actions. CEOs need moral hazard. They need to be punished for their crimes same as anyone else. They need to go to jail.
Amazon will pay $20.5 million to settle allegations that two of its Oregon data centers helped contaminate groundwater.
This is exactly why communities across the country are organizing to stop data centers — and winning.
Never doubt your power to change the system.
Oh shit it's Peggy Rockbottom! 🤯
Did the South Park writers know about this somehow?? The tits are uncanny.
Too little, too late. The damage has already been done to the East Wing, Ballroom, the Rose Garden, and the Kennedy Center…
“He is not the owner”
A Bush judge. Wow.

The latest Covid strain is more immune evasive and the Covid inquiry stated last week that the guidance was flawed, that Covid was airborne. Many of us have campaigned for years and been ignored. There is a mountain of research and many millions of children globally 🧵
Putting his signature on currency.
Imbecile reminds me of a dog pissing on everything to make his mark.
"Call it democracy, or call it democratic socialism, but there must be a better distribution of wealth within this country for all God's children." —MLK Jr.
Celebrating the 250th anniversary of the United States with the dumbest, most corrupt president ever in power is a bit like celebrating a wedding anniversary after your spouse murdered all your children and drained your bank accounts.
It's absolutely gendered. Black women have figured out the moral stakes of an election and vote the right way every goddamn time.
And now they are correctly fucking tired of doing the work and not being listened to or platformed the way whining white men always are.
that got refracted through the 2016 dem primary to become much more gendered
it also stopped making sense - the normielibs *have* shown up in the trump era - this is what we wanted! we can't be mad at them for putting in the work
i could at least understand that attitude a bit, say, 15 years ago
when i was young & starting as an activist there was a lot of work put in by the left that wasn't recognised - people felt a certain way about comfortable liberals who said the right thing but didn't show up
it's a bit of a challenge of language as liberal can mean either of those, sometimes i think the lib haters aren't sure themselves
but when they start on "being at brunch" & other gender dog-whistles, it becomes clear they're not just venting against the dipshit columnists
if the 'normielibs' you hate are matt y or klein, fine, good even
but that's not it - i think they mean the pussy hats, the warren voters, the grandmas protesting ice
& fuck off - they've done 1,000 times more than edgelord posters
A question you have to ask yourself if you’re going to approach politics as a responsible adult is whether your goal is to improve material conditions and achieve changes that reduce human suffering, or whether it is to look really cool in front of your friends online.These are not compatible aims.
It’s not the biggest problem but one real reason why no left-liberal popular front has emerged in America is because of a loud and highly visible cohort of not-that-young-anymore leftist edgelords who refuse to be in coalition with their moms.
Look, sometimes when people say they hate “liberals,” they mean “women.”
The Trump administration is rushing the approval of mining projects on tribal lands. The admin approved a uranium min in Utah in 11 days–when the approval process usually takes years. The dept gave tribes only 7 days to respond to the request for comment. www.wyomingpublicmedia.org/open-spaces/...

This should be an impeachable offense. I understand that we’re way past any of that, but that shouldn’t stop us from naming it.
I also, sadly and to our shame as a nation, don't think the "I can't vote for someone unless they promise to oppose genocide" voting bloc is anywhere near as big or as powerful as the "There's just something about that woman I don't trust 🤔" bloc.
We need to be a better people. In a lot of ways.
Yes, I know that failing to condemn the Gaza genocide cost her votes.
But between 2016 and 2024, when two of the most qualified women in American history both lost to the least qualified man ever to run, we can't kid ourselves and pretend that sexism wasn't a massive part of Trump's victories.
Misogyny doesn't work out so well for everyone in hindsight, does it?
