Can we get her to 15 percent? If a bunch of folks kicked in $5 to $10, we'd be there.

Detroit, Michigan. No Bullies, No Bigots, No Bullshit. Black Lives Matter. Trans Lives Matter. Vaccines work. Genocide is wrong no matter who does it. Question everything. Nothing human is alien to me. A better world is possible.

Michigan has a measure on the ballot called "Invest in MI Kids." This would put a 5% tax on the top 1% earners in Michigan - taxing the rich. This will give Michigan schools the funds needed to cover budget deficits resulting from federal education cuts. investinmikids.org

Reminder that Stein does not simply have a history of boosting Russian talking points, but she also dined at the same table as Putin in 2015 in Moscow.
Her continued push of disinformation around this unfolding conflict (even after being corrected) should not be dismissed as a simple error (1)

Twenty percent of ppl with measles will end up hospitalized. And we have no treatment for it.
Get vaccinated if you're able. Make sure you've got some immunity if your doctor will run your titers. If you're unsure if you were vaccinated, or have an older vaxx consider getting a booster.

It is so damning of US news media that so many outlets refuse to just straight up say that Senator Tim Sheehy assaulted an activist.
He did not "help" Capitol police. They did not need his help. He wanted to assault the guy and did. He should resign.
Well would you look at that

As Rep. Jayapal says, our reporting has found that these arenβt isolated incidents. Last October, we tallied more than 170 cases of U.S. citizens detained by immigration agents.
Hereβs that investigation sheβs referring to:

Update!
My energy level isn't quite up to building shelves so today was mostly about cleaning books and deep cleaning some of our existing shelves. Pictured is our DIY/Tech/Computer/Math section, newly cleaned & (mostly) restocked.
Only nine days until we reopen!

Quick update! My family put me on sick leave this past weekend: had me stay home, in bed, for 3 days while my daughter hung out at the store and fed the cats.
It was very nice and I'm doing a decent bit better. But it's still Long Covid, which means I can still overdo it if I'm not careful.
