the thing about the institutional apparatus of the dems is that it’s the biggest collection of losers we’ve seen in my lifetime. despite 2 governing trifectas in the last 18 years and the presidency for 12, they’ve overseen the return of segregationists and the end of bodily autonomy for women
People who think Democrats are too woke and radical now control all three branches of government, the institutional apparatus of the Democratic Party and all major media outlets. Stop fucking congratulating each other for saying it!

Obviously things have got dramatically worse in the US recently, and I don't want to diminish that, but I've been at *so many* conferences in the UK on topics like empire, humanitarianism and development where multiple speakers from the Global South have been denied visas or held at the border

🚨I converted the list of terminated #NIH grants (as of 3/22) into a google sheet. I added activity codes and award jurisdictions (see tabs for grant count and $ by each). Note this HHS list likely does not include all planned/completed terminations as of this date.🚨 Please use, share and distribute!
The list of terminated NIH grants is growing. Now 14 pages (was 6 pages last week).

the dems keep running on morals despite not really having any and that’s one of the reasons why they’re so vulnerable to the right—their only stance is being more reasonable and tolerant on the surface but there’s nothing underneath. they don’t have a real plan and haven’t since obama.

From this to the guy who said he didn't regret voting for Trump despite his wife getting arrested by ICE, I truly do not think there is any saving these people.
How firm is the hold of antivax beliefs? From the parents of the 6 year old unvaccinated child who died of measles: “Don’t do the shots,” the girl’s mother said. Measles, she added, is “not as bad as they’re making it out to be.” She noted that her four other children all recovered…

The public breaks that needed to happen—Kamala from Biden and Walz from his own running mate—had no chance of happening because this party only produces good company men and women. The original appeal of Trump was his willingness to break with orthodoxy and humiliate and denigrate other Republicans
