I just had a conversation with my conservative cousin ranting on and on about this. She said Muslims have co-opted the Democrats because Dems can be easily manipulated. She said Muslims want to take over the country and this is how they will do it. Some whack conspiracy theory.

ICYMI — bumbling ICE stooges finally chased off by Chicago folks after a humiliating attempt to grab a man they racially profiled

That literally just happened to me, IN MINNESOTA. At a Walgreen’s. The pharmacist asked me if I had any pre-existing conditions and I said no. She then told me I wasn’t eligible because of my age. This was about 2 weeks ago. @governorwalz.mn.gov

And now for a report from the hellish, war-zone that is Portland

This is utterly disgusting

👇🏽

It’s awful. Was the same last 2 years. We are supposed to cool off Monday. I hope that’s true

Jane Goodall reaches out and touches a small monkey.

Jane Goodall was my first childhood hero, as I loved animals as a kid and was inspired by her story. I still remember the National Geographic specials about her. RIP.

Mine too. I love her so much!

Rest in peace, Dr. Jane Goodall.She had always been an inspiration to me as well as a lifelong champion of human stewardship. I’m so sad. She was one of a kind and the Earth will never see anyone like her. #science

When did they start caring about FEMA and WIC?

You’re off to battle and you’re gonna annihilate it. 👊

There are credible reports that federal agents may be replaying the 2020 playbook and surging into Portland with the goal of provoking conflict and violence in my hometown. I am in close contact with state and local officials to monitor this activity.

This one *was* on the bingo card

It really is. I read a super confusing WaPo article about it all—it said ‘moving forward you won’t need a prescription’. I’ve never had to have a prescription for any vaccine I have had at Walgreen’s.Been going there for years because it’s just really easy and you can just walk in and be out in 5min

They already have. As an importer of wine, we are now passing most of those increased costs on. Wineries and wholesalers can only subsidize for so long……

Will do!! For now it seems you can simply lie and tell them you have a pre-existing condition . Absolutely absurd.

pod of humpbacks in silver bay right now. lots of spouts and tail action 🐋

Totally weird. I think the providers are confused as well. Thanks for digging in- I think I will just give my doctor a call. I’m going to contact Walgreens as well and let them know exactly what happened.

I honestly don’t know. I’ve used Walgreens for most of my vaccinations for years. I’ve never had to have a physician’s order for any of them. The articles I’ve read today about the policy changes have been super confusing and I’m unclear about the ‘rules’.

That’s what I heard-after the fact. I was so flabbergasted that I replied ‘no’ when she asked me if I had any underlying conditions. I was then refused. I just read a Wapo article that said some changes with regard to that policy might happen- but honestly the article was utterly confusing.

I've seen a lot of people argue that the Democrats lost because they engaged in the "culture war."

I disagree. The Democrats lost because they conceded the culture wars without a fight.

I just got denied a Covid vaccine at a Walgreens in MN today thanks to this fuck !!!!! Was told by the pharmacist I have to be over the age of 65 or have an approved pre-existing health condition. 🙄. I didn’t have ‘lying in order to obtain healthcare’ on my bingo card this year.

WOW. The lead plaintiff is a Latino man who's been here legally for 24 years. He was grabbed off the street by plainclothes federal agents who didn't even ASK about his status.

He was detained overnight and only released once a supervisor realized he had been illegally arrested.

Just went to Walgreen’s to get my Covid and flu vaccine. They are NOT letting anyone under the age of 65 get a Covid shot. This is absolute bullshit. A man next to me, retired doctor and here for vaccines as well ranting about the nutcase we have leading the HHS.

Trump cancelled meeting w/Dem leaders! He refuses to negotiate or do anything to bring down skyrocketing health care costs. As insurance premiums are rising and his tariffs are breaking Americans’ budgets, he’d rather shut down the government than meet to find solutions.

Meanwhile they are trying to sell off millions of acres of our public land.
