It is #WorldAIDSDay

Treatment and prevention methods have come worlds forward since the 80s. Know your status, get checked, and get educated.

PrEP and PEP are fantastic methods of preventing the spread of HIV, and with the correct treatment, a positive diagnosis is not the end of the world ❤️

Yeah!

I liked the axe with blast boons

Truly!!

Hades 2 is magical and I’m so glad for it! 40 hours + and I’m good to step away from it. Lovely lovely!

This is my kind of good trouble.

Lorcana card game - I used two cards call “circle of life” that allows me to bring a card from the discard onto the field. I have two expensive giant Mickey Mouses that quest for 5 and deal 5 damage when banished. There’s also Goliath, nammari, Mickey Mouse amber champion, Hudson, and Mowgli.

I love my circle of life deck so much!

Tonight was a very bad night.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.

The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.

People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.

And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

Senate Dems…

I want you to understand what it is like to live in Chicago during this time. Every day my phone buzzes. It is a neighborhood group: four people were kidnapped at the corner drugstore. A friend a mile away sends a Slack message: she was at the scene when masked men assaulted and abducted two people on the street. A plumber working on my pipes is distraught, and I find out that two of his employees were kidnapped that morning. A week later it happens again. An email arrives. Agents with guns have chased a teacher into the school where she works. They did not have a warrant. They dragged her away, ignoring her and her colleagues’ pleas to show proof of her documentation. That evening I stand a few feet from the parents of Rayito de Sol and listen to them describe, with anguish, how good Ms. Diana was to their children. What it is like to have strangers with guns traumatize your kids. For a teacher to hide a three-year-old child for fear they might be killed. How their relatives will no longer leave the house. I hear the pain and fury in their voices, and I wonder who will be next. Understand what it is to pray in Chicago.

Marc Lobliner post on X: "Why the hell are we giving food stamps to 40 million people? Does anyone work anymore?"

SNAP isn't about "people who don't work." It's about people who don't get paid enough to live.

Of the 40 or so million people who rely on food stamps:

* Two-thirds are children, seniors, or disabled

* Most working-age adults who receive SNAP are employed—but in jobs that pay poverty wages

How bout you?

Supreme Court ruling: "This Court now concludes that independent expenditures, including those made by corporations, do not give rise to corruption or the appearance of corruption. That speakers may have influence over or access to elected officials does not mean that those officials are corrupt. And the appearance of influence or access will not cause the electorate to lose faith in this democracy."

Every now and then I go back and read the Citizens United ruling to see if it is as unhinged as I thought, and every time I do that I see it is actually far more deranged than I remembered.

I love Pokemon ZA so freaking much! I think this is my Pokemon favorite title to date. I haven’t had this much want to keep playing in a long long time!

Gah! So good!

If you were at the No Kings events, please wear a mask for the next few days.

Covid is not over.

You can infect others before you feel symptomatic.

People are losing their healthcare. They’re losing their food assistance. They’re losing housing.

We need to protect each other.

The Supreme Court Case That Could End Free and Fair Elections As Trump pressures states to redraw electoral maps to favor Republicans, the nation's far-right justices appear poised to weaken the Voting Rights Act and silence the voters it was meant to protect.

"The Supreme Court Case That Could End Free and Fair Elections"

As Trump pressures states to redraw electoral maps to favor Republicans, the nation's far-right justices appear poised to weaken the Voting Rights Act and silence American minority voters:

literally no need for this

the protesters were just standing there, not causing any problems. then here come the police, causing problems.

I need @govpritzker.illinois.gov to tell these goons to go home. And if he can't or won't do so, I need to know that, too.

Remember the first few months of this year, when all we talked about was DOGE and spending cuts and waste, and this administration gutted USAID?

And now they’re giving $40 billion (!) to Argentina.

Insane the amount of amnesia in this country and in our politics and media.

I’d like to understand the Dissidia situation. I love the franchise. I’ve played them all - I don’t understand why there hasn’t been a tighter knit experience like duodecim again

we need to abolish this shit

Yeessss!!!!!
