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.

He's the guy who's afraid to ride on the NY subway but
he expects us to trust our lives to AI

And Heaven in a Wildflower,
Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand
And Eternity in an hour.”

So disgusting. Their ancestors came here from someplace else.

Hoo boy, that was a tough listen. Two women in a department store, browsing racks right next to me, discussing 'immigrants'. I had to walk away when one said '...and you know what? We'll never get them all out of here either'.

There's just no helping some people. 🙄 #Its2026

Did American voters really think it was cute to vote for someone whose thing is to call people names? It’s something we’re taught at an early age not to do.
Minor in the scheme of things, but such a telling characteristic.

When Trump loses power, his assets should be liquidated and returned to the American people.

Not only is her recovery complete.

Soon Sienna will be heading off to her very own family.

After years on the streets and endless puppies taken from her she will get the life she always deserved!

You guys are the cutest!

89 candles would have set off the sprinklers, so we settled for one — and one perfect slice of cake (with @bradtakei.bsky.social on ice cream duty). Thank you to every friend, fan, and fellow traveler who has made these 89 years such a joyous voyage.

The media’s failure to cover Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner’s ongoing conflicts of interest as he gets billions from the Middle East while being Trump’s negotiator is insane.

(Especially after what they did with Hunter Biden)

This is exciting! Best of luck to you.

Y'all I made my first two major purchases for my bakery.

A convertible refrigerator/freezer and a Bosch mixer with an extra bowl.

I'm excited. I'm also a nervous wreck.

Ask trump about marital infidelity, Squeaker Mike. He's an expert.

Kevin Warsh just lost me. He argues he's going to be an independent Fed Chair, but refuses to acknowledge that Trump lost the 2020 election. If you can't state simple facts when you're in the political spotlight, you aren't independent. You're a coward.

I want them to ask Warsh how he’ll react when Trump starts to abuse him on Truth Social, as he most surely will.

He’s a complete moron.

He still hasn’t “won” Iran.

Someone give Pawpaw his meds and put him back to sleep.

Peace Talks Day is off to a great start.

🤷🏼

The USA has faced thousands of nuclear weapons in Russia and China for decades.

So why should we be terrified of the idea Iran might get one nuclear weapon?

When did an Iranian leader declare an entire civilization would die never to return?

randomly remembering that I checked out A History of Witchcraft from my elementary school library between 4th and 6th grade, so many times that the librarian sent me to the school counselor and then removed the book from the research section.

Yum!

Goodbye and Good Riddance, Madam Secretary of Labor!

You've disgraced yourself and a great department, and it's Trump's fault for nominating you in the first place (Robert Reich)!

Of course, this could be said about any of his Cabinet

1. ICE doesn’t follow rules.

2. Congress’s plan: Give ICE more rules.

3. ICE doesn’t follow rules.
