She Persisted: Sonia Sotomayor | Meg Medina, Chelsea Clinton

#Shero I can‘t imagine what it was like for her to know that 6 of her fellow justices basically crapped all over the 14th Amendment today. For her as a Latina woman to know the racism that is permeating in the halls of the Supreme Court. It‘s just sickening. #ranttime

JuniperWilde Agreed. It is also heartening to see people stand up to what‘s happening. Many are women which is significant because women are underrepresented in positions with profile and power. 4d

Ideology in the Supreme Court | Lawrence Baum

#ranttime ugh, I mean seriously. How to say you‘re racist without explicitly stating you‘re a racist. Someone on Threads was saying we all need to go around shouting our old high school Spanish phrases to confuse them. My favorite always has been, “Por favor, donde esta La biblioteca?” #FRacism Someone also said that years from now John Roberts SC decisions will be seen along the same lines of Roger Taney & Dred Scott.

Amiable I saw a post on social media where a white woman in California put a Mexican flag sticker on the back of her truck and was almost immediately pulled over by ICE. They got annoyed because she was white and told her to remove the sticker. She posted that she‘s keeping it on to mess with them. 4d

AmyG I have no words. As a people, we need to fight harder. 3d

Charity Administration Handbook | Don Bawtree, Kate Kirkland

As a #longtimefed I contributed to the CFC every year. I appreciated the opportunity to distribute payments throughout the year and reach small organizations I might not have been able to reach otherwise. Now it‘s apparently one more casualty of the regime. An indefinite “pause” with no explanation. Just in time for the holidays!

WTF is wrong with these people? #ranttime

ravenlee It looks like part of the Republican small-government ethos is to replace federal support with private charity (which is entirely problematic in its own right), but then this kind of crap makes it hard-to-impossible for charity to work either. Really what they‘re after is control over every aspect of our lives. 4d

Susanita @ravenlee I have wondered about that too, and yes it‘s quite problematic. It‘s possible they want to eliminate organizations whose mission they don‘t like. Also, many of the charities have incurred expenses to participate in CFC, and now they‘re in limbo. 4d

Susanita @ravenlee I mean exclude and not eliminate from existence, but… 4d

ravenlee It seems to be part of the neoliberal agenda, and it may be eliminate and not exclude. They want to police everything, and when they can‘t decide who “deserves” to receive a charity‘s services then they want that charity either gone or under their control. 4d

Tamra @ravenlee spot on, which is hypocritical. Small govt. my *ss. (edited) 4d

AnnCrystal yet funds are seemingly being continuously wasted on questionable objectives 🤬😢🤬. 4d

Medical Terminology For Dummies | Beverley Henderson, Jennifer L. Dorsey

Someone learned a new science word & is flashing it around like he knows what it is. You can‘t see mitochondrial disorders. I don‘t know what he‘s trying to imply. Mitochondrial disorders are not very common (I worked with a handful of kids in early intervention that had these disorders & I worked with the medically complicated kids at Duke). I really wish the news would ask him to define what a mitochondrial challenge looks like. Also how

ncsufoxes creepy is it that he‘s eyeing children. Also how do you define healthy? You can‘t look at a child & determine if they‘re healthy or not. That is between the child, their parents/guardians & doctors…not you. I wouldn‘t say that he looks or sounds healthy, so he shouldn‘t be one to make judgments. #ranttime 2w

lil1inblue 😡 😡 😡 The daughter of a dear friend has a mitochondrial disorder. It took quite some time to get a diagnosis. And they struggle constantly with it because it's an “invisible“ condition, so people don't believe them. My loathing of this man knows no bounds. 2w

AmyG This fucking arrogant moron. 2w

Amiable My brother said a guy who looks like an old leather baseball glove that‘s been lying in the dirt and sun and rain for 30 years should not be making medical judgments based on appearance. 😖 And it‘s totally creepy that he‘s checking out kids!! 2w

dabbe The willingness to play with people's lives and their health is like the Olympic gods moving men as chess pieces. The unbelievable arrogance of this fucking worm-head. And yet here we are. My anger, though, doesn't lie with him. We all have known what a disaster he would be in this position. It's for the people who voted the way they did that allowed this man to be now where he is doing the irreparable damage he is doing. #ranttime 2w

Taylor Swift biography: TAY - The Taylor Swift Story | Jill Parker

We do not care about the size of Taylor‘s engagement ring, the Cracker Barrel logo, or male cheerleaders in the NFL. We do not care that Snoop Dogg thinks he can‘t take his grandchildren to the movies.

We do care about the Epstein files, DOGE wasting our taxes while also exposing our private information, friends losing jobs, national guard troops on street corners, and a president who thinks we‘d be cool with having a dictator. #ranttime #wdnc

Conspirator | C. J. Cherryh

#wdncw that this is going to be a political rant. I‘m so fed up with people like RFK & podcasters spreading misinformation & conspiracy theories about science. The shooting at the CDC the other day (150 bullets into 4 buildings, windows with bulletproof glass shattered) is horrifying. My husband works for NCI & I broke down crying to mom today because it hit me. I‘m terrified. His lab is on a secure military base but honestly will that even stop

dabbe

ncsufoxes some of these people. When are we going to hold people accountable. Does Kennedy look at those bullet holes & feel any remorse? Does he even care that he is putting people that have dedicated their lives to public service in danger? It‘s been an exhausting few months but this just adds a new level of worry. #ranttime 1mo

Amiable It‘s insane that this man—who is not right in the head— is being allowed to destroy the scientific research and breakthroughs that could save so many lives. It‘s criminal. Or at least it should be. 🤬 1mo

Amiable And stirring up the MAGA nut wheels in the process! I‘m so sorry your family has to deal with this. 1mo

Aims42 😢💔 It‘s truly heartbreaking and just like everything else, it‘s being swept under the rug. I can‘t remember the last time I watched the news and thought, “Wow, slow news day” as they did a random story on a cat and dog being BFFs 🙄 I miss those days. I‘m sorry, I‘m ranting on your post. 1mo

Susanita Not a peep about this from the top, while he‘s busy spreading other lies. 1mo

dabbe First, rant away! We are here to support and listen. Second, I am beyond sorry that you and your family have to deal with and live through this. The terrors and lies unleashed by this man and many others is indescribable. That worm has definitely eaten through his sorry-assed brain. Sending 🧡🤎💛. 1mo

mcctrish It‘s not enough to stress about having a job like his but now he/they have to worry about the unleashed maga/maha nut jobs! You rant all you need to! I really wish there was a hell/karma/accountability 1mo

AnnCrystal How absolutely terrifying for you and your family 🙏🏼🫂💝. Never feel bad about ranting. We all need to voice our concerns and share news or our America is truly doomed. 1mo

Ruthiella ❤️❤️❤️ 1mo

IriDas Creating fear is the point. Not that you shouldn‘t be afraid of these folks, but that is why they rile their nut job base up—so people will beg for protection. And they can excuse more state violence. It‘s why they‘ve never done one damn thing about all our precious children who have been killed in their classrooms. Control. I hope your husband will feel safe. I can only imagine how it must be for you. :( 1mo

Bette I hope you all are safe. It‘s a lot. EVERYDAY it‘s a lot. Hold on, hopefully sanity will make inroads somewhere. 1mo

Stupidity | Avital Ronell

Dear Canadians,
I'm sorry our U.S. representatives are complete a$$hats. We don't all agree with them. I can't even imagine how bad the smoke is for y'all. But your response to this nonsense is freaking epic.

KadaGul So Canada 🇨🇦 is facing its Commercial Exhaust fans towards the USA 🇺🇸 so it doesn't have to deal with WILDFIRE 😤🤬😡😠😤🤬. It's natural wildfire 🔥🚒 when Californian wildfires harm bordering Canadian 🇨🇦 cities, no one raises a concern 🤨.#AnotherDumbIdeaByMango (edited) 1mo

lil1inblue @Bookwormjillk My favorite part: "These are attention-seekers who can't come up with a good idea on health care or on making life more affordable," Kinew told The Canadian Press. "So they're playing games with something that's very serious." 1mo

lil1inblue @TheBookHippie My "rep" can't show up in his district unless it's a fundraiser, but he can harass Canada? To refer back to my three lis thursday honorable mention: "Fuck wank bugger shitting arse head in hole." 1mo

lil1inblue @LiseWorks What was that thing the #fluorescentfascist wanted to do to stop the hurricanes? Maybe that will work on the smoke. 🤣🤣🤣 (Also, thanks for the snow. I enjoy it. 😉) 1mo

willaful I love Vonnegut's description of the Totalitarian mind as like gears with missing teeth: “The missing teeth, of course, are simple, obvious truths, truths available and comprehensible even to ten-year-olds, in most cases.

The willful filing off of gear teeth, the willful doing without certain obvious pieces of information... That is the closest I can come to explaining the legions, the nations of lunatics I‘ve seen in my time.“

Hmmm ... wonder if our current government is doing anything like this these days? Actually, come to think of it, I don't think they even care to keep us entertained while they do heinous things; nowadays, they just blatantly do it. #ranttime

dabbe @CBee Couldn't have said it better! 🩵🎯🩵 1mo

lil1inblue Excellent allusion this week! I don't think they care anymore if the circus is entertaining, so long as it is distracting. So they can do even more heinous things while we're busy. 1mo
