F the Borg

Facing the Borg, one day at a time.

Dolly Parton on her Imagination Library program that Republicans defunded:

"[My daddy] was the smartest man I have ever known, but I knew [...] his inability to read probably kept him from seeing all of his dreams come true. Inspiring kids to love to read became my mission."

Just 100 years ago: 1 in 3 children died before reaching their fifth birthday.

This sounds nice, but it's a great way to undermine the welfare state.

The strongest welfare states in the world (the Nordics) tax everyone, including nurses. And they give everyone universal healthcare, childcare, pensions, education in return.

When the middle class has skin in the game, they defend the system. When welfare is 'just for the poor', it becomes a poor program: stigmatized, underfunded, easy to gut.

That's why billionaires keep pushing this idea. The real scandal isn't that this nurse pays $12k.

It's that Jeff Bezos pays $0.

This is one of my favorite videos of all time. As a child psychologist, it’s a perfect example of joint attention, preverbal communication, and coregulation.

Dear White House Reporters,

The President of the United States calling a reporter a bitch, or insinuating that she's familiar with dirt because of the color of her skin, is unacceptable. But what's worse? No other reporter said anything.

@AdamKinzinger Remember, these are the same people who were afraid to wear a mask because they thought it made them look stupid.

We learned from COVID 19 that oil is worthless in a society without consumption, healthcare has to be public because health is public, 50% of jobs can be done from home while the other 50% deserve more than they're being paid, and that we live in a society, not an economy.

My neurodivergent friends who are scientists tell me with the number of neurodivergent scientists “it is far more likely autism causes vaccines”

@pastormarkburns So you honor a man bearing false witness, taking the lord’s name in vain, adultery, stealing, coveting, working on the Sabbath, and self idolatry. tomato tomahto

Reminder...

Any political party trying to make it harder to vote is sending a clear message — they can't win on their ideas alone.

[Andrea Junker @Strandjunker]

Total Jobs Created by Party (1989-2026):

Democratic Presidents
50,600,000

Republican Presidents
1,469,000

The biggest scam the GOP has ever pulled off is convincing people that Republicans are good for the economy.

California’s wealth tax would cost Nvidia’s CEO Jensen Huang $8 Billion.

His response was simple: “I don’t mind paying taxes.”

“Once a year we get a bill, we pay it, and it’s big. I never once thought about it.

We love this country. That’s our way of giving back.”
