If someone really cares about you, they will care about the impact their behavior has on you.
And that's why I am no contact with my parents. They rarely, if ever, cared that something they did was upsetting or hurtful to me. Every "apology" was ultimately blaming me for having a problem.

"Why are Americans so unhealthy and sad? Hmm, it must be the antidepressants. Anyway, let’s increase the retirement age and reduce social safety nets and increase the length of the workweek and remove any possibility for most people to buy a home"

Really trying not to freak out, but I really don't like the person I am when I can't have my meds.
We’ll see how far this goes, but just be aware …

Section 504 prohibits discrimination against disabled people & guarantees equal access to anything (services, programs, buildings, etc.) that receives federal funding. It paved the way for the ADA. The sit-in that got it passed is an extraordinary moment in US history.

Honestly this should go for all birds on the NA continent at this point. Better safe than sorry.
I haven’t seen much talk about this over here so, Chicago friends, you appear to be (a) wild bird flu outbreak spot; hundreds of birds have died or are sick, particularly near water. If you see one, on your property or otherwise, do not try to deal with it without proper PPE and keep your pets away
Officials warn residents not to touch dead birds in Chicago amid outbreak
Officials urged residents of the Chicago area not to touch -- or let their pets touch -- dead or sick birds as a bird flu outbreak sickens and kills many across the region.

It’s the job of every congressional democrat to grind the gears of government to a stop.
Right now. Block everything. Slow walk every committee. Call every vote. Filibuster every post office name change.
State Dems need to build parallel institutions to protect the people at home. GET TO WORK.

Grief is a weird thing. Watching an old EP of Last Week Tonight and saw someone holding up a Trumpy Bear in the crowd. Cue flashing back to seeing one in my aunt and uncle's living room, and mourning my aunt and who she was before the Trump cult caught her and my uncle.

At OPM, Musk’s staffers won’t leave—they work around the clock and have even installed sofa beds in the office. Our access to data systems has been restricted, raising serious concerns about cybersecurity and a complete lack of oversight. We are keeping our heads down and documenting everything.

Julie Gray, wife of Holocaust survivor Gidon Lev, who joined Musk in his visit to Auschwitz speaks out. She says that Musk felt nothing during the tour & only "cared about how he looked."
She shared this with me privately shortly after the tour, and I'm grateful she made her thoughts public.

Trump has deployed active military to help round up migrants and put them into detention camps.
The military forced us out of our homes at gunpoint in 1942 because we were considered possibly disloyal Americans. They sent us to internment camps for four years.
History is repeating. Pay attention.
