Reminder: it’s time for your annual flu and COVID vaccine.

Somethings you might not know:
1) Vaccines are more effective if administered in the morning
2) Men do not mount as strong a vaccine response as women and some men may even need second vaccination

They’re using American tax dollars to fund infrastructure in Argentina because that’s where they’re all going to flee when we kick them out of office

This reads far better in the original German, where of course the discussion would have been about Jews, Poles, gypsies, gays, Communists and Social Democrats. Still, Miller's model for all his rhetoric and action plans is unambiguous.

We have SO much more work to do.

And the current administration is dragging us backwards.

Dig in your heals, loves.
We've got work to do.

The Free Speech Crisis for Black Americans Is Worse Than You Think Don’t let Jimmy Kimmel’s return fool you: Black academics are more frightened of talking to the press than I’ve ever seen.

Since Charlie Kirk’s assassination, HBCUs received terroristic threats. Black students have been expelled or forced to withdraw. Black professors and teachers have been fired and placed on leave. A Black firefighter was placed on leave. A Black journalist was fired

It’s gone so quickly from β€˜boat people’ to all immigrants. So quickly from β€˜I don’t mind if they come here legally and pay taxes’ to β€˜actually it’s anyone foreign’. We are living in the β€˜first they came for’ poem. All to give the population a scapegoat so the super rich can hoard yet more wealth.

Leg braces - $20-$30k, I’ve had at LEAST 6 leg braces.

Wheelchairs - $5k for manual with no bells and whistles, I’ve had 2

Medications - anywhere between $100-$2000 /month pending health issues

Surgeries - 19 surgeries $40k to - $1m inc. hospital stays

I had polio. This is the cost.

The recipe I saw didn’t specify so I used an aged one. Yes I think frangelico was what they intended but I only had a nocino (Faccia Brutto’s) so that’s what I went with

We haven’t seen the text of this yet, but to be clear, the president has literally zero legal authority to impose a $100,000 fee on visas. None. Zip. Zilch.

The only authority Congress has ever given the executive branch here is to charge fees to recover the cost of processing the application.

The thing that white supremacists really hate to remember is that the whole reason that institutions like the military desegregated and diversified in the first place is because when you limit membership to white dudes only you... are not getting the best the country has to offer.

Tweet From Obama mentioning my firing from the Washington post. Wirh a photo of me

The last political column I was allowed to write in the @washingtonpost.com was a criticism of Obama.

His people took issue with my piece, but we were respectful.

Now he is tweeting in support of me.

This is how free political speech and respect for debate *actually works*.

Or used to work.
