I don’t have any special medical excuses to offer, I have no health problems and I’d probably recover in a reasonable amount of time if I caught whatever virus is going around, I just really value not being sick

Love this from my friend, and a reminder I should finish watching Andor
While at Worldcon in Seattle in August, I saw a woman walk by wearing a gray T-shirt with just four words on it:
"I have friends everywhere."
It's something I'd been thinking about for a while. We—all—have friends everywhere. So let’s talk about THAT.

Every American should be alarmed that Pres. Trump has decided he can wage secret wars against anyone he labels an enemy. Drug cartels must be stopped, but declaring war & ordering lethal military force without Congress or public knowledge - nor legal justification - is unacceptable.
Breaking News: President Trump told Congress in a confidential notice that he had decided that the U.S. was in an “armed conflict” with certain drug cartels.
