A good lesson here is that you should live your life in such a way that when you die, nobody pulls out a spreadsheet to mathematically explain why they're happy you're dead

Hey @BCBST maybe now’s a good time to reconsider and make it so every plan allows Weightloss med coverage for people with conditions like insulin resistance and PCOS…

When you are curling your hair and your @revlon curling iron explodes when you turn it off
Did NOT feel good and left char marks on my hand 😬

Right, but what’s in the glass case behind you

[Jo @JoJoFromJerz]

A sitting Congressperson tweeting this from her OFFICIAL GOVERNMENT ACCOUNT is somehow fine, but a female soccer player choosing not to sing the National Anthem is ‘disrespectful to the flag’. Oh, ok.

What will forever astound me about MAGA, is just how many of them will vote against their own self-interests to support him.

He is a rapist who said he would date his own daughter, called women dogs & bragged about sexual assault, and he has said that he wants a federal ban on abortion.
Women will vote for him anyway.

He dodged the draft, attacked a POW, called fallen war heroes suckers & losers, disparaged scores of Generals, tried to gut the VA and will decimate it if given the chance.
Veterans & members of the military will vote for him anyway.

He wants to destroy public education, cut food stamps, Medicaid, housing assistance, and other welfare programs that millions of Americans rely on.
The poor will vote for him anyway.

He doesn’t care about any of them. He doesn’t want to help any of them. He would willingly hurt all of them. And has.
But they don’t care.
Because he hates who they hate.

And sadly, that’s all they think they need.

[George Takei @GeorgeTakei]

He asked to find 11,780 votes.

He got at least 12 today.

The "fuck your feelings" crowd sure has a lot of feelings about the “lock her up” lady laughing at them.

[Jeff Tiedrich @itsJeffTiedrich]

listen up, stupids:
John McCain lost his election and fucked off back to Congress.
Mitt Romney lost his election and fucked off back to Congress.
Hillary Clinton lost her election and fucked off and went home.
Al Gore challenged the results in ONE STATE, and when he lost, he fucked off and went home.
Donald Trump lost his election and freaked the fuck out and sent a mob of armed morons to the Capitol to disrupt the certification, and he also headed up a ginormous criminal conspiracy to commit election fraud in Georgia, all so he could cling to power — because he's a big fucking baby who can't deal with being the huge fucking loser that he is. and that's why your guy is in deep fucking shit right now

[Alex Cole @acnewsitics]

Now imagine the reaction from Republicans if a black athlete did this shit.

Dear Bradley Cooper and @netflix
That prostetic nose was NOT necessary. How about instead of using “Jewface” you cast an actual Jewish man to play Leonard Bernstein, who also didn’t have a nose as big as y’all are making it out to be. #jewishstereotypes #antisem

do you guys ever think about how nobody will ever tilt your chin up with a sword in a hot way?

@katee_robert I live in the Bible Belt and already know it’s gonna be difficult explaining to my daughter that no she can’t go to VBS and youth night with her friends. She can research religions at home and come to me with questions

[The Reading Mermaid @readmermaid]

@PayPal @AskPayPal it is UNACCEPTABLE that I paid a large amount off on my credit the first month I have it, and you are HOLDING IT for two weeks even though my bank took it out of my account! That’s NOT OKAY! How disgusting of you!

[Really American 🇺🇸 @ReallyAmerican1]

Senator Josh Hawley raised a fist in solidarity with January 6th attackers

Rep. Paul Gosar posted a cartoon video that depicted the killing of AOC

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene posted a video in which she said Nancy Pelosi was a "traitor" who deserved to be executed

George Santos lied about nearly everything he told voters about himself before he was elected

None of these politicians have been expelled from Congress, but two brave young men who spoke out against the gun violence claiming the lives of children in Tennessee were wrongly expelled.

We must make this moment count.
