It’s dark at midnight! How can anyone take this “the days are getting longer” claptrap seriously! (This is what “It’s cold in winter!” denials of climate change sound like.)

Vaccinate. Your. Kids.
“After smallpox was eradicated in 1980, measles became the leading killer of children globally”
Measles outbreak hits children in Portland due to low vaccination rate.
Vaccinate. Your. Kids.
Vaccinating your kids won’t make them autistic. That’s been tested over and over again, and there’s no link.
It will protect them, their classmates & their friends from potentially deadly diseases.
And honestly…even if there was a tiny chance that vaccines caused autism (again, all the research shows that they don’t)… Wouldn’t you rather your child be autistic than dead?
On the anniversary of the Northridge earthquake, looking at this and his recent threat to withhold FEMA wildfire recovery funds…
On the anniversary of the Northridge earthquake, looking at this and his recent threat to withhold FEMA wildfire recovery funds from California make me really hope the next big quake to hit CA waits until after he’s out of office.
BREAKING: Trump administration officially opposes $600m in post-hurricane Nutritional Assistance Program (NAP/#PAN) funds for #PuertoRico in house-passed disaster supplemental bill.

TBH I’ve been concerned about that since he was elected. But since then he’s shown that his willingness to use federal funds for disaster relief/recovery actually does line up suspiciously with whether your state/territory voted for him or not. (Compare FL & TX.)
I didn’t want to be right about this.
If you think about it for five seconds, the phrase “toxic masculinity” implies that there is also masculinity that *isn’t* toxic. The discussion is criticizing a subset, not the whole.

Guys, if you feel like your masculinity is threatened by someone suggesting you should treat other people with respect, then you’ve confused being masculine with just being a dick.

I have to wonder if this is actually targeted ad placement… #KellisAmberlee

So the president is openly threatening to use emergency powers to seize private property, bypass Congress, and divert disaster relief funds so that the military can build his pet project. The people who freaked out over a training exercise should be all over this.

You get in the car to go buy groceries. Halfway down the driveway, your roommate pulls in and blocks you. They won’t let you out until you agree to help them slash someone’s tires. Who’s to blame for holding up the grocery run?

Let him veto it
“Sorry, I won’t allow a vote on this critically important bill even though it’ll probably pass, because the President will just veto it.”
Then let him veto it.
Make him *work* for it.
And let the blame fall squarely on *his* shoulders.
Whenever someone complains about newer Star Trek being “ruined” by social justice…
Yep. Whenever someone complains about newer #StarTrek being “ruined” by social justice or progressive issues, unlike the older series…I have to wonder whether they ever actually *watched* the show they claim to remember so fondly.
I still find it amazing that the alt-right thinks Star Trek Discovery is all SJW n shit, but TNG had an episode about a transgender woman falling in love with Riker and then being lobotomized for it.

I’m reminded of the cartoon with the billboard of a wolf campaigning on the slogan, “I will eat you.” If you’re cynical enough to assume candidates will break their promises, take it further & assume they’ll keep only the ones you disagree with.

I realize people disagree about a lot of things in politics, but I’d like to think that “Let’s not throw chemical weapons at toddlers” would be part of our common baseline, not a partisan issue.

Our government was deliberately set up to avoid concentrating too much power in one person. Congress, the President & courts are independent of each other, not subservient. Even within the executive branch, people don’t swear personal loyalty to the President like a feudal king.
