We Stopped Feeding the World to Buy Lobster The administration gutted global aid in the name of fighting government waste. At the same time, the Pentagon spent millions on steak, crab, furniture, and even a $98,000 piano.

"At the same time Americans are struggling with rising costs, borrowing money just to buy food, & falling behind on car payments, the Pentagon was filling shopping carts with lobster & ribeye."

It's particularly jarring that this administration dismantled programs that actually matter to people.

We all see how no one expects him to do the right thing ever because everyone knows he's an incompetent dementia addled fool but his mental state is not covered like it was when Biden was in office

And we're supposed to just sit with that

The shelters are full and do not have the space for all the families that are going to be evicted so I'm glad your doing photo ops instead of solving that problem

Can we trust someone like you who lies about the data all time? You have said "there plenty of space" whole the shelter hotline is turning people away.

Literally begging you to post about Just Some Stuff. We will see the news I absolutely promise. Twenty people will repost the same exact thing about the news. Only you can post about a turtle you saw

I couldn’t get through this without bawling:

And the ending message is very apt. If your kid survives but with profound disabilities because you didn’t vaccinate them, what are you going to say when they ask why you didn’t?

Ew who puts food on the seat? After sitting in wetness a couple of times I don't even want to put my butt on one most of the time.

How the Religious Right Won the Trump Era Media failed to reckon with the evangelical support for Trump and we’re all paying the price.

"Christianity, to be sure, comes in both liberationist and authoritarian interpretations, but it is anti-pluralist by default."

We will not achieve dunctional democracy unless we face this fact.

I know poor people, and I know rich people. In my experience, poor people are resourceful and savvy, and rich people are f***ing clueless.

How many children will this administration kill before itβ€˜s through? Between vaccine misinformation, the destruction of USAID, the abuse by ICE, and the bombings.

How I Lost My Daughter to Measles Measles has a terrible side effect most people don’t know about.

Emmalee's parents tried to warn everyone. SPPE is a horrific, torturous way to die.

She was terrified and didn't recognize her parents at the end.

Why would anyone risk that?

My review of the first Trump administration was, β€œDumber than the dumbest person you’ve ever met and cruddier than the cruddiest person you’ve ever met,” and I stand by it.

It was really interesting to edit this piece by @thebugbeardispatch.bsky.social. Well worth your time to read (and sub to us to read it, if you're not subbed already!) www.theflytrapmedia.com/how-the-reli...

Remember these GOP extremists that don't believe in pluralism also do not believe the way YOU might practice YOUR Christianity is valid either so being Christian won't save you, they will come for you too

Trump's war on Minnesota broke everything. It will take a lot (time, resources, people) to fix it.

Yes, it’s the little treats we get for ourselves destroying society - not the lunatic leaders, his cult members, wars, bombs, climate change, etc.

I think inspections should be done upon listing and shared with every prospective buyer. I watched money pit too many times as a child though so I'm a permanent renter.
