The other side if the affordability equation is that corporations hold the purse strings to housing costs, healthcare, food, cable, internet, etc. If you double the minimum wage, it still wonโ€™t be enough. Prices will rise as wages rise. Itโ€™s a no win situation.

The FDA statement ends with a paragraph undermining its own warning.

They signal parents to avoid acetaminophen. Except sometimes. And then:

No โ€œcausal relationshipโ€ฆ establishedโ€ with ADHD or autism

AND

Alternatives to acetaminophen have โ€œwell-documented adverse impacts.โ€

Several churches played an AI โ€œmessageโ€ from Charlie Kirk.

From beyond the grave he tells the faithful heโ€™s โ€œfineโ€ and encourages them to โ€œget back in the fight.โ€

These are stupid, stupid times.

I stand for the woman who just does not want to have a baby for whatever reason, which is none of my damn business. Women should not have to justify why they want control over their bodies and their lives. They shouldnโ€™t have to have a โ€œgoodโ€ reason or explain it to anyone.

My indie bookstore got hit with a $6145.42 tariff/tax this week for an order of calendars which are printed in China, bought through a UK company. It is due in 7 days. It is almost 40% of the invoice. Order placed at the beginning of the year.
Thanks Pres F***er

My small business just got hit with a $6000 tariff bill for calendars printed in China. (50%, as promised) We ordered them in January.
Americans are being shafted bigly.

I have 3 bookstores in Oakland and Berkeley. Our first order of calendars, printed in China, arrived with a 50% customs charge of over $6000, due in 7 days.
Pres F***er is shafting us bigly.
Tariffs are paid by Americans.

1 August 1915 | A Polish Jewish woman, Fradja Azous, was born in Warsaw. She emigrated to France.

In September 1942 she was deported from Pithiviers to #Auschwitz. She did not survive.

Take a look. Not ICE. Just ordinary โ€œofficer friendliesโ€ doing what this country allows them to do to unarmed Black men. Remember?

Trump No Kings IT'S BEGINNING TO LOOK A LOT LIKE RUSSIA

pussy riot @pussyrrriot
It's not quite a penal colony here, but a halfway house. Once again, when I write a statement or a song, a demon on my left shoulder is whispering: "How much is too much? Will this get you jailed or not quite yet??". The answer is - idfk. When the law is being used not to protect freedoms, put to punish - selectively and voluntarily - those who speak out, no lawyer can tell you what's safe, and what's not. As my Russian lawyer used to say, "Nadya, stop asking me what's safe - if you want to be safe, leave Russia"

Pussy Riot has lived through the fall of free speech and the rise of state terror.
And today they stood at a No Kings protest in the US.

โ€œHow much is too much? Will this get you jailed?โ€
Thatโ€™s not just a Russia problem anymore.
