I called him to wish him well
on his birthday
and as we talked he said:
“we’re getting old,
but this year
this year I really felt it,”
and though I wanted to say
“what you’re feeling
is that you’ve had Covid six times”
it was his birthday
so I just said;
yeah, we’re getting old.

Never forget that the airlines were instrumental in reducing the Covid isolation requirements and paid time off.
Why? It was hurting their profits.
They were about to lose money again due to the shutdown… so the Dems caved.
Medicaid & ACA will be gone to keep airlines happy.
Profit over people.

Today was my 3rd CoViD-related surgery in my 2-year CoViD journey. Rib cartilage to recreate the nasal septum that CoViD destroyed, and muscles from my temple to replace the lining of my nose.
So to the next person that says CoViD is fake or just a cold: fuck the fuck off, for real, forever.

JUST IN: The Trump administration asks the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to stay Judge Sara Ellis' preliminary injunction restricting the use of force against protesters and journalists in Chicago.
Full motion here: cst.brightspotcdn.com/bc/ac/04906a...
Full motion here: cst.brightspotcdn.com/bc/ac/04906a...
![INTRODUCTION
The role of the Judiciary is to resolve concrete cases and controversies, not to act as general overseer of the Executive. But in response to the government’s efforts to enforce the Nation’s immigration laws after years of non-enforcement during an unprecedented wave of illegal immigration, courts have issued sweeping, programmatic injunctions that usurp executive authority and empower judges to superintend law-enforcement activities under threat of contempt. The predictable result is to broadly obstruct the enforcement of the Nation’s laws, chill the exercise of executive power, and subvert the constitutional structure.
This case is a perfect example. This Court previously issued a writ of mandamus to quash an order of this district court that “infringe[d] on the separation of powers” by “set[ting] the court up as a supervisor” of the agency’s law- enforcement activities. Order, In re Noem, No. 25-2936 (7th Cir. Oct. 31, 2025). The district court has now issued an extraordinary preliminary injunction that no less reflects an improper aggrandizement of the judicial role and a violation of the separation of powers. What began as a complaint by journalists and protestors alleging that DHS officers targeted them with crowd-control devices at a handful of protests in September and early October has transformed into an instrument for judicial micromanagement of federal law-enforcement operations in the Chicago area. Indeed, this injunction is so granular it consumes eight pages, governing everything from body-worn cameras, to agent identification, to the content of warnings before](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:elipdmmf5istuvtyituspske/bafkreihgvjfeppwczpepe3ijy2bgqwoo4hsxcd4ly4wo6onzf667iqxqtm@jpeg)

Many live in legislated poverty.

Democrats have been fighting for months to address America's healthcare crisis
For the millions who will lose coverage
For people with cancer who won't get the care they need
For working families who can't afford to pay $25K more a year for healthcare
