I personally don’t celebrate gun wielding assassins in broad daylight under any circumstances.
That being said: United HealthCare absolutely did try to kill me by trying to cut my chemotherapy dosage and I had to get my senator to intervene and it was one of the most traumatic weeks of my life.

This response from @sbearbergman.bsky.social to @hildur.bsky.social’s post has changed my week— it is so wholesome, and human, and so the energy we all need right now. And Kerstin Langenberger, the naturalist who posted “I am on my way with the necessary equipment”? This woman is the hero we need.

Trans women in Florida prisons now have to get breast exams to figure out whether their breasts are big enough that prison officials think they should get to keep their bras.

keeping almost everyone in the entire country one or two medical incidents away from family bankruptcy while a few billionaires celebrate their wealth is probably not a formula for social stability

There really is no floor for R power grabs. There is no amount of grace and patience you can extend these people, they just take and take and take because they are the sorest of losers.
The North Carolina General Assembly’s GOP supermajority just approved a hugely corrupt power grab, seizing authority from the governor and the courts to prevent any meaningful check on legislative abuses. Authoritarian stuff. A very dark day for democracy in NC. amp.newsobserver.com/news/politic...

Musk+DOGE are *not* about government efficiency. It's purpose is to:
1.) Cement Musk's monopolies by ending gov't subsidies to his competitors.
2.) Get rid of any regulations that have ever or will ever constrain his behavior.
3.) Loot the gov't by privatizing public programs like SS and the VA.

Once again the shooter does not interest me, murder is wrong, I'm sure his ideologies are WAF, the interesting part is how much the nation hates our health insurance system that we could have the discourse we've had.

The GOP is apparently planning on passing a reconciliation package with as much as $120 BILLION in border-related funding.
To put that in context, if you add up ever single Border Patrol budget from 1990 through 2024, adjusted for inflation, it's $121 billion. That's THIRTY-FOUR YEARS of funding.

Universal healthcare coverage is the peaceful way to resolve many of our pressing problems, so if someone is looking for peaceful solutions, point this out and see if “peaceful solutions” is what they really after, or if they just want sick people to be quiet..
