@ChrisDJackson This had NOTHING to do with America! Is what our taxes are going for these days!? People need/want healthcare, daycare, food, livable wages, clean water and education! Republicans have completely FAILED America! There’s no dignity, respect or integrity in the White House anymore!

[Chris D. Jackson @ChrisDJackson]

Why would he? Why would any president?

Pure idiocy.

Fred Rogers met with a child psychologist every week for 22 years to build his show. She shaped everything: every script, prop, and song. The whole point was to give a child's nervous system time to slow down. In 1984, a single regulatory decision ended all of it.

The psychologist was Dr. Margaret McFarland, who co-founded the Arsenal Family and Children's Center alongside Benjamin Spock and Erik Erikson. She and Rogers understood that the prefrontal cortex in children, the part of the brain that controls impulse, emotion, and attention, takes decades to fully develop. At the start of every episode, Rogers tied his sneakers and changed his sweater while children settled in. Those pauses were intentional, designed to help a child's nervous system shift into a calmer, more focused state.

What ended it had nothing to do with child development science. In 1984, Reagan's FCC chairman Mark Fowler abolished the advertising limits that had protected children's programming from commercial pressure. Toy companies moved within months. Between 1984 and 1985, cartoons tied to toy lines increased by 300%, from a handful of shows to more than 40 animated series. In almost every case, the toy was designed first. The cartoon was built to sell it.

Researchers later put numbers to what parents were already noticing. A 2011 study in Pediatrics from the University of Virginia tested 60 four-year-olds across three groups: one watching SpongeBob, which cuts scene every 11 seconds; one watching a slow PBS show, which cuts scene every 34 seconds; and one drawing. Nine minutes later, all three took tests on attention, impulse control, short-term memory, and problem-solving. The SpongeBob group scored significantly worse across every measure.

In the 1970s, children began watching television around age 4. Research from pediatrician Dimitri Christakis found that by 2009, the average age of first screen exposure had dropped to 4 months, as the content got faster and the audience got younger. Researchers separately found that each additional hour of daily screen time at ages 1 or 3 raised the risk of attention problems at age 7 by 9%.

As part of the lawsuit against tonight’s UFC event at White House, plaintiffs argued it’s “deeply corrupt” and would stand to benefit Trump’s corporate allies, including Paramount Plus… which is charging people to watch the event

Probably just a coincidence that a man becomes a trillionair about a year after having unfettered access to our government's finances, right? 🤔

Hunter being able to finally fight back brings joy.

Okay, I'm gonna be honest.
This gay club looks fabulous.

They've got everything. Sweaty men wrestling, guys on motorcycles in leather jackets, gold everywhere, and the Village People performing.

This is not residual algae. This is not sabotage. This is not sea monkeys. This is not going away. This is the result of incompetence and creating a heat sink in a shallow non chlorinated pool.

A heartbroken elderly Albanian man says Jared Kushner has taken everything he spent a lifetime building, including his land, his home, and the future he hoped to leave behind for his children.

He says he returned home one day only to find his property sealed off behind barbed wire, with men in black uniforms standing guard and refusing to let him step inside the house he once called his own.

In a single moment, he says, the life he had worked for was gone.

“It was the end of the world. The end of the world.”

“I felt imprisoned.”

“They took my freedom.”

“They took my livelihood.”

“They took my land.”

MAJOR BREAKING: In a now deleted post by former MMA fighter Daniel Cormier, he posted screenshots of Eric Trump trying to get an insider scoop on whether any of the MMA fights at the White House are rigged so that he could try and illegally make money off of them..

Below is the Direct Messages that Trump allegedly sent Cormier. There is no reason to doubt the legitimacy of these messages.

How are you spending #ObamaAppreciationDay?

[Jamesetta Williams 💕 @jamesetta_w]

The reason why legacy media has lost credibility even among highly informed readers is because they keep coming up with excuses why they can’t hold Trump to the same standards as Biden. Here @katierogers @nytimes says he’s so unconventional, talks to the press, and keeps so busy! His health reports are just his own business! It’s disguising

[👼😇 Jana B Warrior Angel 👼😇 @Janabw81]

They tried painting over the numbers but failed and made them even more prominent!
Looks great next to the giant algae swamp!

ICE took a 31 y/o Haitian asylum-seeker into custody, drove her 30 miles away to a Pittsburgh office, put an ankle monitor on her, then sent her out the front door with no way to get anywhere or contact her family.

She froze to death at a bus stop. It's now ruled a homicide.

[Andrew—#IAmTheResistance @AmoneyResists]

$14 million “beautification” and just 3 days later it looks worse than ever because there was a reason we didn’t paint the reflecting pool dark colors like “American flag blue.” Mainly that it would raise the water temp and cause rapid algae growth.

This is West Virginia. They are super excited America has its first trillionaire.

[TheSteadyState @steadystate2025]

When people in Washington lower their voices and say, “Please don’t use my name. I’m afraid he’ll come after my family’s livelihood,” it means something has broken. People no longer trust the law to protect them.

Why do Republicans say AOC is “just a bartender” when she has a masters in economics, but they don’t say Markwayne Mullin is just a plumber?

HINT: racism and misogyny

[Chris D. Jackson @ChrisDJackson]

Biden at 80. Trump at 80.

One rode bikes, worked out daily, passed historic legislation, released yearly physicals, and answered endless questions about his age and health.

The other falls asleep in public, rambles through speeches, looks visibly swollen, and has reportedly taken multiple cognitive tests ordered by doctors.

Guess which one the media treated like a five-alarm health crisis. 🙄
