I think people forget that even though children survive from these illnesses many suffer from lifelong effects. A women in my choir had polio as a child and has been in a wheelchair since. My grandfather had the mumps, he and my grandmother struggled to have children for years. Had only mom at 40.
The U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services has repeatedly claimed: “If you’re healthy, it’s almost impossible to die from an infectious disease in modern times.”
That is dangerously false.

While government websites are removing/diminishing the importance of Harriet Tubman, this is what my son brought home to read for his History/Social Studies class. He said he picked it because she looked “like a badass you don’t want to mess with”

Going to Costco this weekend, need to put together a list of things to stock up on. Only thing I wish I had was a freezer for the garage to store cold foods.

Been watching Sen Booker’s speech all day, including during school pick up and dinner prep. And you know what? My kids have been listening. Not because I’m making them (I’m not) but out of genuine interest in what he has been saying. The future is listening.

I want a jet ready to rush Cory Booker to South Carolina once he has broken the record so he can drop a microphone on Strom Thurmond's grave.

We need to stand behind Senator Booker, and not allow either the GOP or the leftists make him a sacrificial lamb.
Booker: "I confess that I have been imperfect. I confess that I've been inadequate to the moment. I've confess that the Democratic Party has made terrible mistakes that gave a lane to this demagogue. I confess we all must look in the mirror and say 'we will do better.'"

My theory is that someone in Trump’s orbit made a joke about Canada becoming 51st state, and he misunderstood/took it seriously. Because he’s a narcissist he can’t admit it and is now doubling down.
Trump announces more tariffs on Canada and says, "The only thing that makes sense is for Canada to become our cherished Fifty First State."

Dems need to take note of which Reps are fleeing from their angry constituents, and start finding viable candidates NOW.
NEW: Senator Marshall (R-KS) RUNS AWAY, fleeing his own town hall after being asked about DOGE firing Veterans. MAKE HIM GO VIRAL.

Since we can’t rely on traditional media outlets to cover it, get it up on streaming platforms, YouTube, Twitch, Insta live etc.
This is a good idea. A daily Democratic press conference with a consistent, skilled spokesperson who covers two things:
1. What DOGE and the Trump administration did to the American people today
2. What Democrats are doing in response

I firmly believe @petebuttigieg.bsky.social should lead a daily press conference. We are in desperate need of simple, unified messaging

However, it is an excellent time to sell Girl Scout cookies door to door. Lots of people home watching the game, usually with family and friends over as well. Sold close to 50 boxes in an hour of walking the neighborhood
The best time to get errands done or drive somewhere if you don’t really give a shit about football is during the Super Bowl. Roads, supermarket and gym are EMPTY.

To quote the late Rep. John Lewis “…never ever be afraid to make some noise and get in good trouble, necessary trouble”.
A member of Congress needs to demand entry into Treasury. If they are denied entry they need to persist and if they are threatened with being arrested they need to be arrested. They need to push this.

When Congressman John Lewis was a child, he tried to get a library card. He was turned away & told “The Library is not for coloureds” 💔
He’s a civil rights icon, lover of books, recipient of the National Book Award for Young People’s Literature.

Sorry, getting spanked/paddled and grounded did not cure me of ADHD. What it did was make me even more avoidant, anxious and self-conscious.
Tommy Tuberville proudly suggests that kids should be whipped with a belt instead of given medical treatment for ADHD.
Charming, Senator. Now tell us, what IS it like to be born with CTE?
