👏 Canada 👏 Post 👏 is 👏 a 👏 public 👏 service 👏
Nothing proves how capitalism has brain rotted everyone than thinking the post office, hospitals, public transit, libraries, etc. need to turn a profit to be worthwhile.
Thank you for clarifying, I was unaware. I was definitely not also being rhetorical.
😜
Beginning? What took you so long?
Big abortion win in PA today - the ban on Medicaid funding is unconstitutional!
AND there's a fundamental right to abortion!
We won!
(Though this Commonwealth Court opinion can be appealed - we'll see what our AG does.)
“Pancreatic cancer mRNA vaccine shows lasting results in an early trial. Scientists caution that more research is needed, but nearly all of the patients who responded to the personalized vaccine are still alive six years later.”
This is why we should fund science. 🧪
SCOOP --> Paramount, Meta, and X are refusing to say what happened to their huge contributions to Trump's presidential library after Sen Elizabeth Warren raised questions about its fund getting dissolved. Ds say tens of millions remain unaccounted for.

SEN. JOHNSON: "We are getting ripped off by the military industrial complex."
Even Republicans agree there is waste, fraud, and abuse baked into the Pentagon's budget. So why are they primed to give Trump a $1.5 TRILLION military budget this year?
Actually, I’ve explained this MANY TIMES
This generation of Black ppl vote MORE than any generation since we got the right to vote
But after the 1st Black was elected, WHITE PPL began turning out in historic numbers to vote for Trump. As this graph CLEARLY shows…
The “crisis” is white people.
Amazon, which saved $4B in taxes under Trump's Big Ugly Bill, has cut 30,000 jobs since last October.
Verizon, which saved $2B, plans to cut 15,000 jobs this year.
Meta, which saved $3B, plans to lay off 20% or more of its workforce.
Trickle-down economics is a cruel joke.
so something even "deadlier" happened about 2 years ago?
and we are not going to do anything about this?
it is mind-boggling that lives are valued less than firearms. even childrens' lives.
The victims ranged in age from 1 to 14, according to Cpl. Chris Bordelon of the Shreveport Police Department, who spoke at a news conference. He said the shooting appeared to be domestic in nature.
God I wish we were rid of the "domestic" euphemism, which softens a brutal type of violence and makes it sound like a private affair. "Man shoots eight children, all family members, at three locations across Shreveport."
10 children were shot today in Shreveport, LA and 8 of them died. The police chief just doesn’t know how something like this could ever happen. But I think he knows exactly how something like this could happen and it has to do with the > 393 million guns in this country w/ very little regulation.
Mary Oliver Of The Empire We will be known as a culture that feared death and adored power, that tried to vanquish insecurity for the few and cared little for the penury of the many. We will be known as a culture that taught and rewarded the amassing of things, that spoke little if at all about the quality of life for people (other people), for dogs, for rivers. All the world, in our eyes, they will say, was a commodity. And they will say that this structure was held together politically, which it was, and they will say also that our politics was no more than an apparatus to accommodate the feelings of the heart, and that the heart, in those days, was small, and hard, and full of meanness.
Posting Mary Oliver for no reason whatsoever
Extremely normal and fine for a company to put this in a public statement
It's crucial to remember that RFK Jr isn't just doing all he can to roll back vaccination & drive up childhood infectious diseases in the US but also WORLWIDE & he's especially targeting children in the lowest income countries
He has suspended US funding to Gavi, which supports global vaccination
🧵
It shocks me how many businesses still don’t seem to get that Trump’s cultural revolution did not actually happen
Honestly, if more public servants were cross-dressing the world would be a better place
that beep beep beep sound you hear is the president and his family backing a truck up to the US treasury...

hey, the situation is fluid
As long as he *says* he's winning...
On Monday's episode of Posting Through It, we'll speak with @amandamarcotte.bsky.social about JD Vance and why we don't think he's the guy to inherit whatever's left of MAGA after Trump. Call it a "hillbilly eulogy."

This detail provoked an involuntary eyebrow raise on my part.
Aled Damien Carbonell-Betancourt is the 17th Reported ICE Detention Death of 2026
A 27-year-old man from Cuba died on April 12, one day after the 16th death of the year. The pace of detention deaths holds at an average of 1 every 6 days.

When scientific findings threaten entrenched economic or political interests, science becomes the target. @michaelemann.bsky.social & @peterhotezmdphd.bsky.social identify 5 forces that generate sustained pressure on publicly funded science—plutocrats, petro-states, pros, protagonists, & the press.
“Discharge petitions almost never work. They require 218 signatures — a majority of the full House — and party leadership in both chambers typically treats them as threats to institutional order. On immigration, they have historically died well short of threshold. This one didn’t."
More perfect union: BREAKING: The Senate just passed the legislation allowing the devastation of the Boundary Waters. The motion passed 50-49, and now goes to Donald Trump’s desk.
Republicans just handed the Boundary Waters to a foreign corporation.
For the GOP, it’s foreign billionaires first, America last.
Not only did the sons probably call ICE on her, the day after her husband died they took their dad's cars, leaving her housebound. Then they rerouted mail, causing her to miss a visa appointment & the utilities to be turned off. Tony and Gary Ross are going to hell.
