NEW—I got an exclusive excerpt from a USAID whistleblower's new book that made me gasp multiple times. It details Trump's dismantling of the humanitarian aid agency & his team/DOGE's shocking ignorance to public health.
'Into the Wood Chipper' by Nicholas Enrich is out tomorrow. Read excerpt here:
Another day, another sick and twisted impeachable act.
Congress must step up NOW.
Contact your reps. Demand action. Demand impeachment.
The President of the US has now, multiple times, expressed interest in using the US military to commit war crimes.
Congress, dont be complicit through silence
Christina Koch’s facial profile backlit by Earth in the background, through the spacecraft window
So, to sum up, a couple of days ago Christina Koch became the first woman to see Earth in its entirety, and today – right now, in fact – she is the first woman to see the Moon up close, and the first woman to see the far side. 🥹
And still... nothing about masking. 😤 Ridiculous
This is going to keep happening and keep happening until we start putting these Nazi terrorists in the ground like we used to do.
Jesus. These effing buffoons. 😤
When you see someone wearing a mask, do you think they're being silly?
Do you think they're being a bit masochistic?
Or do you think they're being smart?
Please look at the end of the letter, see who signed it and who endorsed it.
Something to think about...

This is important for us all to watch, absorb, save, and rewatch. I trust Marc Elias and others at Democracy Docket. They have been winning in the courts throughout Trumps many assaults.

Things just keep getting more unhinged. The rhetoric coming out of the MAGA is fueling dangerous escalation. Democratic state lawmakers who left Texas to block the GOP’s redistricting scheme had to be evacuated from their suburban Chicago hotel due to a potential bomb threat, according to police.
Beautiful 🖤
Prayer for Werewolves Written by Stephanie Burt Someone will probably love you for who you are.    If not, you’ll still find friends, friends who, given time, or given warning,    will probably gather around you, hold your hands, and wrap you in soft coats and blankets till the violence    inside your body ends. Someone will probably love you for who you are,    not just for who you labor to be. Maybe you’re lost in your skin today. Maybe you’re burning    and wish you could tear it all off. Please don’t. You are variously a marvel, an athlete, a wilderness, a source of warmth    and a way to learn from fear. When you have claws, your claws are yours, your ears    bristle and are yours; your irises are citrine, pure, and yours. They let you see    through smog and pine thickets and into the future, where you need no chains to feel secure,    and someone will probably love you for who you are: then you will know each other’s scents    and nuzzle or lope together. But for now, you have friends,    who are not going anywhere. Please stay here.

They did that the last time he was in the White House, too. But at least it's consistent with his hatred of beautiful things
Do these task forces ever include doctors who work in hospitals, or just the laptop class YouTube doctors?
Oh, you know it! {♡}
Boy, he surely did. Prescient.
Bwaaahahahaha!!!
I had seen that info too. Maybe bad or incomplete information? I had such hopes... for about a day.
So, the current state of social media sandboxes:
BlueSky users: Building homes, castles, families, animals and cities connecting them. Everyone is sharing their snacks.
X users: Shouting at BlueSky users to come back, so Xers can break their cities and eat their snacks.
Wow every day there is a new reason to tell you we are going to have to do this ourselves so here’s a new podcast called Public Health is Dead full of people who know things giving us more guidance about how to stay alive than the government has or will! Coming Nov 29 www.publichealthisdead.com
Hey Bill!
That's adorable!
Covid is no laughing matter.
"The scale of the problem that Covid is posing for individuals and society appears to be on a par with climate change: too big to tackle, so we look away"

Hey you! ♡
I know nothing about prescriptions for hrt for trans folks. Have pharmacists asked for ID for these? I am VERY worried for my friends. Will they be able to get their scripts? 😬 Will the scope of P2025 remove these meds? If Healthcare goes away, will any of us be able to afford... anything?
