Remember when we thought Sarah Palin was the dumbest person in politics

Good times.

The company you contract with makes the flight arrangements? They are sadists, and you deserve hazardous duty pay.
Hoping all is smooth from here.

Trump Using A ‘Softer Touch’ With ICE In Minnesota? Residents Say Don’t Be Fooled. Two weeks after Alex Pretti’s killing, federal agents have shown no signs of backing down. The resistance definitely hasn't.

NEW: The Trump admin certainly put on a show last week about changing tactics in Minnesota after ICE agents killed Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old VA nurse.

Trump even suggested it's time for "a softer touch."

Except residents say nothing has changed. At all. www.huffpost.com/entry/ice-mi...

Absolutely.
Now my entire family has them...hilariously, I'm the only one who hasn't been outside of the country since passports were required. Back in the early 1970's, I'd go down to Baja Mexico and no identification was needed to go back and forth.
Good times!

I got my first passport as soon as I knew the results of the last election.
I knew this is where we were headed.

I bow to your writing skills!
You got it all covered in a single sentence!

📈TrumpRx price for acid reflux drug Protonix💊= $200, with no generic options offered. Generic version of this common acid reflux pantoprazole drug at Walmart and Safeway= just $10-12. Price inflation => 18x. Don’t fall for the scam.

😄

Five things is great! I got three things done when I only planned on two.
We rock!

Study Reveals Symptoms Of Long COVID In Young Kids – Here's What To Look Out For The authors say it’s proof a “one-size-fits-all” approach doesn’t work with this condition.

When you see articles talking about long covid saying ‘in those with long covid’. It’s important to realise that any of us could be one infection away from long covid, even children who are toddlers.

Our paper modelling transmission risk in schools is published in Nature Communications. **The relative contribution of close-proximity contacts, shared classroom exposure and indoor air quality to respiratory virus transmission in schools** doi.org/10.1038/s414...

So happy for you!
May you have a rapid recovery!

Trump has never accepted election results and he is only getting worse While Trump has been banging the rigged-election drum for years, it is getting worse.

NEW: While Trump has been banging the rigged-election drum for years, it's time to be honest, writes @marcelias.bsky.social.

It's getting worse.

Trump will use every executive tool to get his way. Those protecting democracy have tools, too. Now is the time to get ready to use them.

Well then let's give it way more attention, starting now:

I'm looking at the broad umbrella Corona virus vaccine with high hopes as well.

I had H3N2 in 1968 and I have never forgotten how sick I was.
I have taken every vaccine offered as soon as they were available. If a super healthy 16 year old spent two weeks in bed with the flu, I'd hate to think what a 73 year old would do.
I am vaxxed to the max, and I mask.

Come on people. I have been busting my ass taking care of very sick people with flu, some of which end up in ICU on the ventilator. FFS
already, go get vaccinated.

Trump Education Department cracks down on college student voting programs College students, who tend to vote more Democratic, represent one of the fastest-growing voting blocs.

🚨BREAKING: The U.S. Department of Education (DOE) launched an investigation and issued new guidance that could severely undercut efforts to expand voting among college students ahead of the 2026 elections. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

I started voting by mail in ballot because I had no control over my schedule as a bedside nurse. Although by law, we had to be given time off to vote, on a practical level it was difficult to do. I couldn't leave before I had a replacement so, mail in ballots took the stress off.

I hear the code will stop working on Feb 8. 👇

I am sure she is used to being very careful with her money, so as long as some scammer doesn't mess with her, she'll be fine.
So nice to see this.

Workers pruning apple trees in the cold with a fire in a metal container at the side of a field where they can warm up in a break

"Arturo" shares, "It was in the 30°s where we were pruning apple trees in Sunnyside WA. Working in these temps makes you want to shiver all over. To warm up a little bit when we had breaks and lunch, we made a fire in a metal container at the side of the field." #WeFeedYou

In case you’re wondering why your healthcare costs keep going up. 👇
