1/ The traditional Columbus Day holiday has been celebrated since 1892 — four centuries after Columbus arrived in what is now America. However, the holiday has been criticized in recent decades for Christopher Columbus' treatment of Native Americans. #SheShed #Pinks

JOURNAVX is a nonopioid medicine that works in the peripheral nervous system. Non addictive, I was prescribed this for post hip surgery.
Not 1 insurance covers it, so the $600 cost is prohibitive.

I wonder why they won’t cover it?
GREED.

We’re in the second Gilded Age just like the first — when America’s wealth was in the hands of a few, money corrupted politics, and working people were abused and exploited.

It can be easy to feel discouraged, but the first Gilded Age teaches us lessons on how we can fight back.

“We’ve had two and a half centuries of democracy since then. Often challenging, sometimes messy, always essential. And we fought in two world wars to preserve it.”

“Now, we have a would-be king who wants to take it away. King Donald I."

“Fuck. That!”

If you read only one democracy story today, make it this one. While legacy media largely skipped the Texas redistricting hearing, Democracy Docket's Jen Rice was there for all 10 days. Her coverage stands out and sheds insight into how the GOP operates -- not only in TX -- but nationally.

In a Federal Courtroom in Texas, Republicans Were Desperate to Keep Details of their Gerrymander Under Wraps

I am actually stunned at Senate Republicans now. It is entirely unprecedented, and a reflection of the fact that the Republican Party is no longer a party but a full-blown cult.”
