The strongest way to resist fascism is non-compliance. When they push fear or normalize abuse, call it out. Refuse to conform. Don’t riot—just sit, refuse, and don’t do what they demand. Don’t comply.

I'm picking my daughter up and accompanying her to vote. Our polls are in an extremely heavy MAGA area, and she was scared. I had no idea that she was scared. I am heartbroken. I am pissed. We are done being intimidated. #RoeYourVote

On election night I want to see Kamala metaphorically peg Trump. I want it to be such a decisive victory that the orange Mussolini throws his hair piece in a fit of rage. I want no state to be red.

Except for getting Congress to pass the legislation, an easy way to fix the economy and give 90% of Americans a better life is to institute a 90% income tax rate after $10 million per year. No one needs more than $10 million a year to live.

BREAKING: In a stunning admission, one of the most conservative Senators, Senator Mitch McConnell, just admitted it was Donald Trump who sabotaged the toughest border security legislation proposed in decades. Retweet to make sure every American sees this.

When thinking of "Vote blue no matter who". I think of the Zoo and cleaning up the animal dung. It seems that it's a lot easier to clean up after a donkey than an elephant.

BREAKING: Chris Wallace just completely demolished Donald Trump’s debate performance. Wallace went so far as to call Donald Trump’s debate performance tonight the worst debate performance in American history. Retweet to make sure all Americans see this.

@BaddCompani And this why I say that in the interest of the country, Trump's trials should all be TELEVISED from now on. Republicans always cry about transparency, Americans need to know what the evidence is before November The DOJ/Merrick Garland has the power to make those trials public.

Why do we celebrate entrepreneurs for chasing passive income but condemn the idea of universal basic passive income as making people lazy? Both strategies aim for financial security without daily work. Let's normalize a financial floor for everyone, not just the investment-savvy.

Today, nearly every single Republican voted against protecting access to birth control, plan B and IUDs. 
By blocking our Right to Contraception Act, they made it clear they’re committed to continuing their anti-choice, anti-science crusade. 
The American people won’t forget.

Quick story in which my mom teaches me about loving people. When my big sister got married, they pulled away from the family a lot. In hindsight, she was the oldest daughter who did too much for all of us, and her husband helped her put down boundaries with us, and it was new and painful. The first few years of their marriage they didn’t come to a lot of family functions. But they were sometimes there and my BIL was super polite, but also a big introvert. About 4 years into it, on Christmas Eve, when all of us were just grazing food in my mom’s kitchen, and talking about life as we often did on holidays, I looked over and saw BIL was sitting in a recliner in the other room, reading a book. Annoyed, I went over to my mom, to tattle. (I was also a married adult at this time.) “Mom, do you see he’s just in the other room, reading? It’s Christmas Eve for goodness sake.” My mom gasped and quietly peeked into the other room. “It worked!” She said. “What worked?” I asked. “He’s just so shy around us, and I’ve been brainstorming ways to help him relax when he’s at our house. So I found out who his favorite author was, and bought the newest book just published. I set it right by the recliner, hoping he’d feel comfortable enough to just pick it up and read it. I got him to relax over here! It worked!” I was humbled. Astounded. Her goal wasn’t to get him to get with the program. Her goal wasn’t to assimilate him to what the rest of our family was doing. Her goal was to help him feel loved when he was with us. I will never ever forget this lesson she taught me.

For years, I've consistently warned about the cognitive impacts of Covid, and now, an eye-opening study under review in the Lancet lends further weight to these concerns. This research unveils a startling revelation: Covid's cognitive aftermath might be akin to accelerating the brain's aging by 20 years. This is not about alarmism; it's about facing reality. We're not dealing with mere speculations anymore; we're seeing concrete evidence emerging. While the paper is yet to be published, its findings cannot be overlooked. We must also reconsider how we view the 'mildness' of infections and their long-term consequences, as impairment has been found even after cases characterized as mild. As a community, it's time to accept these implications and reassess our response to the pandemic. Ignoring these potential cognitive risks is no longer an option. Let's prepare to adapt our strategies in light of this new evidence.

Do cognitive deficits persist after COVID-19 and, if so, what is their biological basis? Our NEW pre-print under review in @NaturePortfolio dx.doi.org/10.21203/rs.3.… We report one-year cognitive, serum biomarker, and neuroimaging findings in 351 patients A thread 1/n

My guess why Mandy Cohen finally said the word “mask:” When we reach 2025/2026 and a much more noticeable amount of people are dying from long term issues from Covid, the CDC will cover their ass by saying “we told you to wear a mask and get vaccinated.” They know what’s coming and will try and gaslight us into claiming they did more.

@ReallyAmerican1 Why are our senators toddlers. "If you don't let me ban military abortion, I'm not going to let you vote for any nominated joint chiefs." I guess holding his breath till he turned blue worked on his mom and he never changed strategies. He knows he can't win the argument so...
