Why do so many MAGA folks think they can just lie?

A MAGA family member called me to warn that the “ Nick Shirley” act would harm “ investigative journalists”. No and -@&$)4#%%%* I said. “It does! I’ve read the bill.” So I read the bill : it’s about not doxxing personal info of volunteers and refugee aid workers, daycare workers,healthcare workers.

Please let me be a talking head. Like a literal talking dummy with my voice overlaid on his video. I got all the mom jokes and snark for days!

Who thinks this should happen?

This. N95’s can save lives from wildfire smoke. The scientific evidence of the damage caused by Particulate matter is clear and terrifying.

Some big news out of Pursuit PNW this week. Also big news if you, like me, collect problematic pastors to cover. First: Jay Koopman of Che Ahn’s, Harvest Rock, former Feucht Hype-man , has moved his family from OC to the PNW and joining the Pursuit team.

Welcoming the new week with open arms… or paws!

If you can give us a paw it would be purrfect! 🐾💕

How Many Americans Have $100,000 Saved for Retirement? Saving for retirement is important. With company pensions going extinct, Social Security slowly running out of funds and inflation running rampant, it's up to you to save and invest enough for a...

There is no plan for Gen X & elder Millennials who aren't saving a million or more for retirement.

We're watching senior (Boomer/Silent) unhoused numbers skyrocket. Yet another reason why xenophobic MAGA policies are fatal. Aging populations NEED immigrants.

Her husband is a double amputee in ICE prison. She confronted Kristi Noem over its cruel conditions: ‘I have a fire inside’ Mildred Danis-Taylor dropped everything to advocate for the release of her husband, Rodney Taylor. A brutal year of legal and health challenges led her to Capitol Hill

Rodney Taylor has been denied access to his prosthetic legs.

Forced to crawl across dirty floors to access food.

Placed in solitary.

Denied medical accommodations.

They’re killing him & he needs the community to make noise!

Meta threw a party for a right-wing influencer who wants to “save the West” The celebration offers a cocktail-fueled look at the tech behemoth's rightward pivot.

Meta threw a party for influencer Isabel Brown to celebrate 100 episodes of her podcast, where she sings the praises of motherhood, frets about the dangers of open borders, and asks rhetorical questions about homosexuality.

an experience i have all too often (qt) when engaging with timely media is hitting the brick wall of silence the CNP has cultivated—so i truly hope MOMS CLUB goes the distance it should.

shoutout to @daisygardner.bsky.social @skyspider.bsky.social @directedbyrocky.bsky.social etc — you’re doin it.

indeed my own beef with the council for national policy runs deep: i have lupus for which i take the medication hydroxychloroquine; when the CNP coalesced around ending covid mitigation & reopening in early 2020, HCQ played an essential role as snake oil in assuaging a rightfully concerned public.

a great way to have an ounce of agency within this nightmare scenario? wear a mask in public indoor spaces. that’s it. really. it works.

i just saw MOMS CLUB, detailing the way a group of normal folks took on the council for national policy’s influence in their—& their queer youths—lives. their work & their story needs to be told. i look forward to continuing to support this film, & most any work bringing needed attention to the CNP.

Thank you so much for being there!

in the interest of the importance of telling our own stories, i have a request for #SocialScienceSky #ResearchSky:

may i pick your brain on a line of qualitative questioning for data collection from my fellow autoimmune patients about the shortages that hit us so hard due to mis & disinformation?

The kids have free time with their devices at some part of class, but it’s wild to me the teacher didn’t see it but I don’t know what else was going on that day

This is why Russia is still fighting, why the war continues and why people are dying: Because Trump and Vance encouraged Putin to believe he could win

He said the teacher didn’t know. I don’t understand how this happens. But I think I wanna have a talk with that teacher.

My grandson, who is in high school told me that kids were watching Nick Fuentes in one of his classes.
