We should rename “big cats” like lions and tigers as just “cats” and then rename regular “cats” as “miniature cats”. 🐱
In this way, cuteness gains of at least 15% will be immediately realized, as clearly demonstrated by miniature pigs and miniature horses.

"Of all the leading players in political life right now—McConnell, Trump, DeSantis, McCarthy—it is Biden who has by far shown the most willingness to sacrifice partisan gains for the sake of protecting democratic institutions including the Court."

Expensive dental care worsens inequality. Is it time for a Medicare-style ‘Denticare’ scheme?

What do these former U.S. officials have in common? They didn't get jobs in the Biden Administration, they're not particularly well-disposed to the Biden Administration, and they're not very well thought of by senior officials in the Biden Administration. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/former-us-officials-secret-ukraine-talks-russians-war-ukraine-rcna92610
Hi everyone!
Now that Threads is out and it's absolutely exploding onto the scene and so many people signing up for it, I invite you to find me on Mastodon because fuck you if you think I'm signing up for another social network run by the same billionaries who brought you Facebook, Twitter, and BlueSky. 🤣
Wishing all my disabled siblings a wonderful #DisabilityPrideMonth
Take care of yourselves. You're just as important as anyone else.
You're not a burden. You're doing enough, even if capitalism doesn't agree with this.
You're not asking too much when you need accessibility.
You are allowed to rest and have aids to help you.
You matter in this world and I love you all. 💙
Why the Biden administration is no longer allowed to talk to social media platforms
A Trump-appointed judge just blocked the White House from fighting misinformation, citing free speech concerns.
With not a SINGLE INSTANCE of government threatening interference found, a Trumper Judge has blocked our governments ability to:
Block Election Lies
Block Covid Lies
Block Vaccine Lies
So, the government can't say Trump's "lightbulb up your ass" is wrong!

Ruins found of #Munich #synagogue destroyed by #Hitler Eighty-five years after Adolf Hitler ordered the destruction of Munich's main synagogue, construction workers have found rubble from the building in #RiverIsar.

If you want to see what people think of the USA, don't use July 4 as the high mark of their patriotism, look at the next day, July 5. That morning, go to any city park or public space. You'll likely find that these "patriotic" revelers have left their country full of trash, discarded fireworks bits, beer cans, etc. for "someone else" to clean up. This careless and thoughtless disregard for community seems to have gotten worse each year. It does not have to be like this.
Jack Smith’s team just filed what appears to be the partially-unredacted warrant application affidavit in the Mar-a-Lago search warrant case. Link to the attachment.

Internet Archive now has a menstruation information and history library, since we now live in a world with Florida bill 1069, which bans the mention of periods before sixth grade in Florida public schools.
Library is universally available:
If I walk into a doctor's office, have a seat and explain to the doc I have a medical issue that causes clotting, have a history of saddle pulmonary embolism, and a history of reactive airway disease:
Yes, that makes you a Nazi eugenicist doctor if you dont immediately don a mask.
And since you dont know who has that profile, WEAR A FUCKING MASK in the healthcare fucking setting.
