My ex-husband would not have qualified for a covid shot under Kennedy's new rules. Covid killed him in 3 days in 2020.

He was obese. That's not "enough" under the new rules. But he died.

I will have to argue to contend that I qualify. I don't want to risk my daughter losing both parents to covid

I just finished reading Behind The Veil, the latest Transdimensional Hunter book from John Ringo and Lydia Sherrer. Wow! What a ride!

If you like SF, you need to binge read this series. It's fantastic!

This is Amy. She was 21.

Amy crossed the rainbow bridge in the wee hours of the morning. She was a 21 year young Good Kitty.

We had had her since she was a newborn and my daughter was in 3rd grade.

She was a one girl cat.

She will be missed.

What's happening to immigrants and brown people who look like they might be immigrants under this regime is disgusting, cruel, and wrong.

Just had to say it.

Scary times. This was the ballgame.

Brettschneider's The Presidents and the People show that the Court has *frequently* been on the wrong side of the Constitution.

Can we get enough of a majority to impeach 6 justices?

I wish you had provided the list of 20 drugs up front. I don't want to read the whole article when all I want to know is are *my* drugs bad?

The only one I found for sure before TL;DR kicked in was bupropion.

Next time don't bury the lead.

ICE agents are complaining that every time they go out (unmasked/in unmarked cars) protesters are dumping pounds of glitter on them.

So people can identify them as ICE for days afterward.

Time to buy glitter . . .

Brettschneider's The Presidents and the People shows that when governments go rogue and abuse the equal rights of minorities that the Supreme Court is often, if not *usually*, on the wrong side of history, as it was yesterday.

Take heart and organize and fight. We *can* beat them.

Read the book.

At destroying America's reputation, standing and power in the world on behalf of his Russian masters he's succeeding at causing quite a lot of damage.

I'm reading The Road to Unfreedom and I have to say I'm demoralized.

How on earth do we take our country back against these headwinds.

Flamepoint cat on black couch covered with white cat hair.

Flamepoint cat on black couch covered with white cat hair.

We *will* shed white fur all over the black upholstery precious.

Back from the vet. Diagnosis: cat is in good health but very fat (22lbs) and his symptoms are from stress.

For this opinion I paid $420. And it was worth it.

Action plan to combat stress: moar catnip.

Sorry, State House. I don't know Minnesota politics, I'm from Georgia.

What will happen to Rep. Horton's seat?

So with Melissa Hortman's assassination is the Minnesota state senate no longer tied?

Is this going to be something the Republicans, horrible as it is, take advantage of?

This is a bunch of Jeff Bezos driven, knee-bending, zipper-kneeling regime propaganda crap. The "cheering crowd" was less than 9,000 people.

This load of horse manure is the kind of thing that caused me to end my subscription to WaPo. Shame on you quisling collaborators.

4-6 million is still over 2% of the population and is well on our way to the transition point.

Kudos to Indivisible and all partner organizations, and kudos to everyone who turned out.

I have unfollowed alt.nationalparkservice.

Their "estimate" of No Kings Day protests appears to have been wishful thinking and propaganda, not actual, bona fide crowd estimate work.

And I quoted them, thinking they were credible. Other estimates I've seen since then have been 4-6 million. /1

I just discovered this meme and I love it.

Happy #PrideMonth to all my #LGBTQIA + friends!

The caveat to the 3.5% number is you have to turn out that much consistently.

This is once. It's a good start. It will take a lot more large protests, and we're going to have to get better about turning them around more often.

Alt national park service is saying 12.5 million.

I also saw at the protest: Super callous sexist racist narcissistic POTUS.

Take your pick.

*hugs* I hope that someday you can move someplace with a climate better for your health. If you want to, that is.

Woo hoo! That's the target number engaged, now we need to work on the "consistently" part on turning us all out.

Way to go, fellow Americans!

Democracy will not die quietly in America. If there's anything we can do about it, and there clearly is, it won't die at all.

Impeach. Remove. Convict.
