and by the way i think the takeaway here is not that we should hate poor uneducated people, but that the republican party directly benefits from keeping people poor and uneducated which is why they create policies which do just that

[Jamie Selzler @jamselz]

Michelle Obama: “Our food environment isn’t healthy and we should explore some changes”

Republicans: “You’re a communist taking our freedom!”

RFK Jr: “Literally anything added to food is poison”

Republicans: “Agreed! I demand you make all my food choices for me!”

Y’all thought trump was playing when he said he’d do bad things. Y’all thought Harris was lying when she said she’d do good things.

Funny thing is they both were telling the truth.

Y’all simply choose to believe the best about a white man and the worst about a black woman.

If you’re “strongly discouraging” the release of an ethics report, you’re on the wrong side of history.

[Isi Breen @isaiah_bb]

Literally every single time a conservative brings up a program the federal government is giving a few million dollars to that sounds insane and you look into it and it’s something that’s extremely important.

Why

[Quantіan @quantian1]

I know I’m a woke lib because whenever I see a post like “Government SICKOS took EIGHT HUNDRED THOUSAND TAXPAYER DOLLARS to give pregnant RATS birth defects with COCAINE” and I’m like… yeah, that sounds like a pretty reasonable price to study an important thing?

“Oh so you’re just growing mold” is an accurate description of the development of penicillin but, unlike Republicans, I don’t think that means the development of antibiotics was bad

My hot take is that the Republican President nominating RFK Jr as HHS Secretary and 50+ Republican Senators confirming him is the fault of the Republican Party, not the Democratic Party.

"we should spend less on scientific curiosity that isn't immediately useful looking" says guy who wants the government to pay him trillions for a pointless trip to mars

[sleepy eggcelent @Astro_Eggcelent]

Posts like these are really funny because 99% of important scientific breakthroughs in history occured because of people fucking around with useless shit. Tech bros really have forgotten what science even is, they just assume it's investing in 3 technologies they heard about

[Jeremiah Johnson 🌐 @JeremiahDJohns]

A lot of libertarians think this is some incredibly smart point to make but:

A: Most of this research makes sense in context and is important

B: Even if you killed all of it, congrats, you've eliminated less than 1% of federal spending.

This is the man who will be leading America's top health agency.

[Rep. Jake Auchincloss 🟧 @RepAuchincloss]

Vaccines save the lives of millions of children every year. Your support of an anti-vaxxer for the role overseeing vaccines undercuts the Democratic Party's commitment to science and children's health.

Seeing people take scientific studies and boiling them down to “funny” and wasteful taglines it’s disgusting. Cats on treadmills! Must be wasteful! UH NO, it’s likely fucking spinal cord research. They’re making alcoholic fish! Uh probably to study alcoholism.

[Timothy B. Lee @binarybits]

Guys I really don’t think “scientific studies that can be made to sound ridiculous if you summarize them uncharitably” is a major contributor to government waste.
