This loathsome woman supports child labor. Sarah Huckabee Goebbels was one of the worst people in the Trump administration.

I talked to two friends who have Threads last night. They say it's absolutely dead. Nothing is going on.

Millions of sign-ups, zero engagement. It's like Google+ all over again.

I'm not on Threads and have no desire to be there.

I just wanted to let you know that Mastodon is still winning in so many ways, even if it doesn't always feel like it.

DeSantis campaign is losing because he lost the patronage of billionaires, who want the destruction of democracy but quietly.

Perlmutter wants anti-unionism and tax cuts. August Busch too.

@flexghost DeSantis forgot MAGA always punches down, and with a mob surrounding the victim. He thought Disney was smaller, and that MAGA agreed to hate Disney more than they hate the gay.
DeSantis suddenly realized his victim isn't cowering and his mob left.

As Austin Bailey reports, though the Arkansas Department of Education recently announced that it defund and discredit AP programs in African American Studies, every Arkansas school district offering the program has stated it intends to keep the program going. As Bailey notes, Gov. Sarah Huckabee Saunders has instructed the head of the state education department to target "critical race theory."

There is no law that prevents an indicted criminal, or even a convicted criminal, from becoming president. Trump can and will be president again, if we don't all show up to vote for President Biden in 2024. The stakes could not be higher. If we abstain from voting, or if we waste our vote on a third-party candidate, we won't get another chance to fix our mistake.

Scientists race to understand highly mutated coronavirus variant spotted in four countries, including the US

"We have several friends in FL who have been hospitalized with this new strain."
"This Is a Real Threat, Mask in Crowds!"

Three respiratory viruses could make you sick this season – but for the first time, there are vaccines against all of them

“This makes it an evolutionary jump comparable in size to that which originally gave rise to Omicron,”
