In times like this, I am even more thankful I do not accept the weak-minded, hateful spirit constantly surrounding us.

Your Medicaid is cut. Your health insurance is not safe. Your tips are still taxed. You pay the tariffs. There’s no trade deals. No wars have ended. Gas isn’t $2. Eggs aren’t cheaper. There isn’t $10 trillion in investment. The Epstein files are buried.
It’s. All. Lies.
All the time.

Dear parents:
You see all this stupidity going around? Please read to your kids. Let them see you reading. Keep books around. Buy them books if you can. Show them how cool the library is. Tell them book banning is bad. Make reading part of their lives. It helps make good people.

ICE is using military grade flashbangs against peaceful protesters. This is illegal under US and international law. And it won't stop with flashbangs.

If you are appalled by Joni Ernst's statement "we are all going to die" but you don't see a connection between your own & other's abandonment of Covid precautions & the medically vulnerable, often w the EXACT SAME RHETORIC, you need to do some thinking.

A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die.
Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.

Petty satisfaction: just "dismissed" the link to X that pops up as a suggested destination when I open a new tab. Had to do it twice, but it's not showing up on new tabs anymore. (YMMV, I mostly use Firefox.)
