Overwhelmed with the world, so here’s my Shih Tzu, Murphy, just finished his business outside, with a treat in his mouth, hanging out of it like a cigar.
He did his business without even once setting it down.
He even barks with it in his mouth! 😂

Canada has just lost measles elimination status. The U.S. will undoubtedly follow shortly.
Elimination means that there is no continuous spreading of measles within the country for a year or longer.
Canada and the U.S. have blown it, and it’s largely the fault of the anti-vaccination movement.

They were willing to make constituents their sacrificial lambs but when it looked like they might have to "sacrifice", they cave and make the suffering an absolute waste.
This is also how we got millions of pandemic deaths.

Also in case its not being mentioned in your feed, there is still a remaining vote for this and Somehow they didn't anticipate the outrage, so there's apparently some hesitation now.

Call the United States Capitol switchboard at (202) 224-3121 and they will connect you with your senator's office.
No matter how they voted last night, every one of them has a say in maintaining Chuck Schumer and Dick Durbin as their caucus leaders. Every one of them is accountable here.

I mean,we are very likely recession bound,but this is due to the boycott.

But you can’t do that when you’re easily replaceable.

This is my point again that the electorate has no idea of what's actually going on. Not in some ideological way, so you can argue whether it's good or not, just in a fact way.
Recently my brother in law explained what gerrymandering was to a coworker and they didn’t believe him because if that were really happening there would be riots in the street
This week I had someone tell me they're not worried about SNAP being cut off because "that's illegal, so it's impossible Trump could do that, so obviously it's just media sensationalism." Another person told me they weren't worried about ICE because "they can't detain you if you're legally here."
