The young man standing on the left was my uncle. I never met him. He died from polio 15 years before I was born.

He spent his final days in an iron lung. The sorrow of witnessing his suffering devastated my grandparents.

Vaccines save lives—those of the afflicted and those who love them.

who creates the lively art and music scenes if the rent is too high? who makes cultural life? who serves you food or washes your dishes? who creates the fancy little restaurants that draw you to urban living? affordable housing is at the heart of what makes city life worthwhile.
I tweet: "people who see 50% of their monthly paycheck go to rent don't care if a candidate eats with their hands. they want to hear what your candidate is going to do about housing." John Galt 2025 replies: "Move if the cost of living is too high."

I can’t wait for the media to tell us in 2029 all about Trump’s steep cognitive decline and psychosis while he was president, with numerous examples that they just discovered through extensive research and sourcing.

Trump’s govt shutdown is another reminder
•We dont have an energy shortage
•Or insulin shortage
•Or housing shortage
•Or teacher shortage
•Or labor shortage
•Or food shortage

We have billionaire excess who buy politicians to deny human rights. We dont suffer from scarcity—but from billionaire greed

“Fastest accumulation of $1 Trillion in debt outside of the pandemic…”

But at least the rich got their tax cuts, right @MarshaBlackburn? With Inequality at gilded age levels.

PSA: They don’t care about the debt and never did.

Maybe we should all apply and then wash out of the academy.

Omg, this detail from CNN about the ICE hiring snafu is wild. This seems like an HR 101 level thing to get right.

They turned a hiring bonus into something much closer to an application bonus.

Seems like a great way to burn a ton of cash. Also? Here’s some waste for sure!
The signing bonus also prompted discussions internally because it’s not contingent on a key part of the hiring process, which is passing the academy, another source said. Even candidates who don’t pass the academy and are slotted for administrative jobs are still pocketing thousands of dollars.

"The 1919 is from an Appalachian trail organization..."

Sure. But that's not why he got it.

You can tell because it was inked on the same body as a totenkopf.

I'm still beating this drum because i need people to catch up on "how to speak dogwhistle"- ten years ago, really, but now will suffice.

Sometimes I feel like I’m losing my mind listening to the news because how does “he sought her gynecological records” not move people? Why is Cuomo even considered an option? This is all so absurd.

When idiot Ron Schneider was born in 1963, the infant mortality rate was 29/1,000. It is now close to 5/1,000. So, no, children were NOT healthier when he was a kid. And he was, clearly, dropped on his head.

NEW — I dug into the story of ICE abducting a 13-year-old boy in Massachusetts and moving him 500 miles across state lines without notifying his mother, local cop's complicity, and how the federal government's justification for such cruelty is already falling apart:
ICE took a 13-year-old they said had a gun. Local cops say he didn’t.
Now he's detained 500 miles away from his Massachusetts home.
