This is a pitch perfect response from @aoc.bsky.social -- she mocks their whining, she brings the receipts and then she uses this move as a sign that Democrats are moving to offense now.
This is a FRAUDULENT paper, AI-generated. My name was used as an author and I had nothing to do with it, never saw it until today e-pubmed.co.uk/journals/dig...
The "Editors" Angelo Rossi Mori, David Mensah, and Zarnie Khadjesari and this "Journal" should be reported.
Ben Franklin, on why you should get your kids vaccinated:
“In 1736 I lost one of my sons, a fine boy of four years old, by the small-pox, taken in the common way. I long regretted bitterly, and still regret that I had not given it to him by inoculation.
Post from headquarters news.bsky.social with video from Tucker Carlson and the text “Tucker Carlson: I'll be tormented for a long time by the fact that I played a role in getting Donald Trump elected. We're implicated in this. I misled people.”
if you post this clip, you should also post clips from the same episode of him saying the 2020 election was stolen, the civil rights movement was “disgusting,” and trump can’t be racist bc he has sex with black women.
tucker didn’t have a change of heart over trump; he had a change in strategy
Kudos to this journalist. This is *exactly* how you question them – if they don't answer the question, or deflect it, or answer another question, or verbally attack you – you interrupt them and ask it again.
Hating women but leftishly is a trend to keep your eye on, it's going to get worse before it gets better
Normal people: the courts are very serious interpreters of the law
The courts: go ahead, impersonate the feds
zaslav tried to take this from us but he COULDNT it is too powerful
Nine of the last ten members of Congress to die in office have been Democrats.
Dying in office because you insisted on clinging to power until the very end instead of letting a new generation of leaders rise should be seen for the shameful, egomaniacal act that it is.
I do find it funny how many people basically mean “woman in position of power” when they complain about HR.
Trust me, disabled people feel this hostility acutely.
Allow Professor Tom Lehrer to explain:
It’s so simple. So very simple that only a child can do it.

AOC represents EVERY WOMAN in America right now who is sick and tired of misogyny & misinformation.
She represents us and the rage we feel.

waking up to find that you're blocked by a member of the dev team you've never interacted with because they subscribed to a blocklist you didn't even know you were on
this site still has the juice
republicans will yowl and piss and moan and that to my mind is all the reason to do it
Any Dem who runs on a platform of ending every single government contract with Palantir, then hiring a team of experts to undo the damage these fascist dorks have done to our infrastructure, communications and personnel, not only has my vote, but has my donation checks and volunteer hours as well.
Jay Bhattacharya has ordered that a paper showing the effectiveness of COVID19 vaccines in preventing severe disease and hospitalization be suppressed and hidden.
This man has been crying nonstop about political censorship for 6 years.
But he’s the one who is actually doing it.
Outrageous. @chiosse.bsky.social was protecting one of his neighbors from eviction, as a result of deed theft — a plague in Central Brooklyn right now. There was no reason for NYPD officers to roughly throw him to the ground. It sure doesn’t make anyone safer. Release him now.
