Argentina has universal healthcare.

The government shutdown disrupted flights at Hollywood Burbank Airport. Could it get worse? Hollywood Burbank Airport's air traffic control tower was temporarily unstaffed Monday and flights were delayed or canceled due to staffing shortages amid the government shutdown.

Hours with no air traffic controllers.

Staffing shortages.

Flight delays.

Health care costs going through the roof.

Every hour that Donald Trump and Republicans refuse to come to the table to negotiate, the American people get hurt.

Talk about a lack of self-awareness.

Stephen Colbert is going SCORCHED EARTH right now. To RFK Jr: “Fuck you, you roid-addled nepo carnie! Fuck you, you roadkill-munching Luddite human slim jim!”

Severe malnutrition in under-5s has tripled at Gaza City clinic, charity reports Charity says number of people needing care for malnutrition has quadrupled and blames Israeli ‘policy of starvation’

The oppressed has become the oppressor.

We have been warned about this moment for all our lives. Now it's here. What will you do about it?

this is about as mad as you’re going to see a pilot on an intercom after they almost got directed into another plane on approach. also the reveal of what kind of plane almost slammed into them is a jaw-dropper

Again, it’s all about you.

Personally responsible?!! Wow, yes, it’s all about you. I guess this is the challenge: how to criticize Zionists, the state of Israel, or anything Jewish adjacent without it being perceived as “Jew-hating.”

And sorry it took me six days. You really should take a break from social media.

No, when Zionism looks increasingly like ethnic cleansing it’s easy to conflate the two. You want to promote Zionism? Maybe stop slaughtering and displacing Palestinians.

Not massacring Palestinians might help.

Israel breaks ceasefire with surprise airstrike, killing more than 400 Palestinians Israel launched surprise airstrikes across the Gaza Strip early Tuesday, killing at least 404 Palestinians, shattering a ceasefire in place since January.

This also might have something to do with it: apnews.com/live/latest-...

THESE MFKERS ARE STANDING ON OUR FOOD

It’s easy to suggest when Israel is actively trying to erase the Palestinians. Zionism is no excuse for ethnic cleansing.

Maybe stop ethnic cleansing?

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

AOC: "On this point of tax on tips, as one of the only people in this body who has lived off of tips, I want to tell you a little bit about the scam ... the cap on that is $25,000 while you're jacking up taxes on people who make less than $50,000 across the US ... while kicking them off the ACA."

Craven is the word that I’m looking for.

Yet people don’t kill people,…

If I die of embarrassment can my family hold Trump accountable?

I know it is easy to get distracted with all the horrors going down every day, but don't forget that yesterday, the bribe-takin' US Supreme Court put its seal of approval on gratuitous human trafficking. These are evil times.

Talk about “shit hole” countries…

U.S. out of California

So I guess with the high cost of war the billionaires will have to forego their big tax cut, right?

Right?

Going forward I’m just going to have to get my news from Snopes.

Good times

Proud of my Senator, Alex Padilla.

I love Carmel but it’s a little like living at Disneyland.

No one should be punished for telling the truth.
