People, please realize, you are temporarily able.

A friend age 60 stepped off a curb a little wrong, fell, and broke his shin bone into tiny pieces. He had an EXTERNAL pin brace sticking out of his flesh for a YEAR and could not walk at all.

You are one step off a curb away from disability!
I’ve never had to block & remove people/comments the way I’ve had to over my “no one deserves to starve” article

An awful lot of people seem eager to watch the disabled, marginalized, poor and elderly starve

They’ve fully embraced “useless eater” rhetoric and soon the leopards will eat their faces

Amazon just announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year.

UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year.

Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M.

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

They have fired the staff of the CDC’s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report and 70 Epidemic Intelligence Service officers, who are disease detectives that respond to outbreaks around the world.

I cannot emphasize enough how dangerous it is to dismantle our disease surveillance infrastructure.

We’ve reported extensively on how the FDA allowed foreign drugmakers to send generic medications to the U.S. from factories with filthy labs and contaminated equipment.

This month, we’re digging deeper and could use your help. THREAD/

“The administration did not like that CDC data did not support their narrative, so they got rid of them. They didn’t like that CDC policy groups would not rubber stamp their unscientific ideas, so they got rid of them”.

The damage to the CDC is “beyond repair”.

According to the New York Times, "The text exchange between Mr. Robinson and his partner was reproduced by prosecutors in the charging document."

Reproduced? So no one has seen the actual messages? No screen shots? No time stamps? Also, weren't they on Discord and not SMS? 1/

The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns.

The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate.

Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care.

The list goes on and on.

Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

Republicans are trying to redraw congressional district lines to keep their grip on Congress in the midterms and beyond. 

Voters should pick their politicians, not the other way around.

Just got word that Secretary Noem is asking for an addition to her budget - a new private Gulfstream 5 jet for her personal national photo op tour. She's already got a private plane but wants a tricked out new one.

All while she supports kicking 13 million people off Medicaid.

As the world economy reels from Trump's self-destructive, recession-causing tariffs, we need to put pressure on the individuals who can stop it: Republicans.
 
Speaker Johnson and Senate Majority Leader John Thune must pass legislation to rip away Trump's ability to unilaterally crash the economy.

There are 33m companies in the USA. Only 21k employe 500 or more. And they only make up 23% of workers.

Trump and Elon are ignoring the more than 32m entrepreneurs that can't afford to build a new factory or pay tariffs or absorb cancelled contracts.
