I was gettin ready to leave the house for a fun excursion and I was considering not going. I gag when it's cold and it's below freezing. But I was like FUCK THAT. I'm going OUTSIDE. IDGAF. I'll just take my emotional support cup to puke in and extra grocery bags in my pockets. I'm gonna go LIVE.

PSA: Throw out your Thanksgiving leftovers. Today was the last safe day of eating. After tonight, you're courting food poisoning.

Republicans like to tell us they can’t deliver the policies that would improve life for the working class because we “just don’t have the funds.”
They’re lying.
They’re lying.
Medicare for All would save $450B a year.
Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.
Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.
It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.
It’s about priorities.

If all you did today was breathe and survive… that’s ok.
Surviving a capitalist, eugenicist, ableist system is hard work.
Resistance is exhausting.
Never forget that rest is resistance.

Not enough folks know that the Foo Fighters are massive AIDS denialists and ran fundraisers for proto-RFKJ types that refused to treat children with HIV.
FWIW: Courtney Love and Pearl Jam have both worked extensively with responsible AIDS orgs. #noalternativescience

World AIDS day is important to me as I have lost people to it and I know people living with HIV.
It is a disease I wouldn't wish on anyone, but hell with the power of medical science, people can now live normal lives thanks to medication.
Also fuck Dave Grohl. Man was only good in Nirvana.

Please tag me if you see any anime that appears to plainly be using AI transcriptions for closed captions. That's CLOSED CAPTIONS (SDH) for ENGLISH DUBS, not subtitles for Japanese audio. I wanna publicly keep track of some of these and start holding platforms accountable.

This article is 1000% correct. We can’t actually achieve any of these goals without more staff. Friendly reminder that the last time we had this few staff it was 1967. We served 480 claimants per staff then. Now we have to serve 1800 per staff. This is not sustainable or even achievable. Period.
Social Security wants about 15 million fewer visits in its field offices
The new goal to cut the number of field office visits comes as the agency’s frontline locations have lost thousands of employees.

Australia recorded ZERO cases of cervical cancer in women under 25 for the first time since they started tracking the cancer in the 80s.
This is the power of vaccines.

At the same time the NY Times was hyping Hillary Clinton's emails, it had a reporter with emails from Jeffrey Epstein that were highly damaging to Trump.
The more NYT apologists try to minimize this the clearer it becomes that they don't understand why much of the public doesn't trust legacy media.

People are in denial about how quickly they could become disabled, unhoused or food insecure
It can happen to anyone & it can happen in an instant
Folks act like those receiving assistance have failed
That they should “try harder”

Just watched Bernie Sanders on Maddow and in response to whether Schumer should step down from leadership, his answer was "Look Schumer is part of the Dem Establishment and if he steps down who will replace him?"
I mean... Bernie, WTF???? Take a damn stand.
