Crazy Fevers and the Dehydration Dance The doctors were doing their best, but they had no playbook to follow. So there was a LOT of trial and error.

Here's the fourth installment of The Covid Chronicles, in which my condition deteriorates and I end up in the medical ICU.

It sure would be lovely if you'd consider subscribing. It's free, and I have no plans to turn on paid subscriptions ever.

Why Are We Still Talking About Covid? Because people are lying about what really happened - and for survivors, that's too much to bear.

Why Are We Still Talking About Covid?

People are lying about what actually happened. It's my goal to share my story (and others) and combat those lies with everything in my being.

Just a note

He paused nothing

10% tariffs remain on all countries

He RAISED the rate on China

He still intends to drive up the costs of your prescriptions with a pharmaceutical tariff

It's another scam upon scam

Insiders could've profited

And: TRUMP LOST THE WAR

Oh, and as a lifelong Democrat, I have to say: The Democrats are not coming to save us.

The U.S. government is being run, universally, by some of the dumbest people on the planet. #FreeUSA #LiberateUSA

I agree with your point broadly. But he's ignoring the court orders on the funding freeze, so how much did he really "surrender"?

I am sick of hearing that colleges are liberal indoctrination centers (looking at you Ohio SB1). It isn't that universities are left-leaning, it's that so-called conservative voice viewpoints can't stand up to academic scrutiny and rigor in many cases.

I love how the same idiot trumpers who literally blamed egg prices on Biden, and bragged that trump was going to magically bring them down, are all backtracking and saying he CAN'T do anything about egg prices.

And eggs are just the beginning.

YOU voted for this bullshit.

and unable to mount the necessarily ferocious opposition fascism so richly deserves. @ocasio-cortez.house.gov has it exactly right. We must be "brawlers for the working class." And that means we BRAWL, not CRAWL on our knees hoping to be rewarded by these evil assholes. FOR GOD'S SAKE, DEMS - FIGHT!

Commie during your next election? You can't compromise with fascists. Full stop. Any of these traitors who voted with Trump should be primaried next time around. God damn it. As a former German history major, I worry the Dems are in the same position the SPD was in 1933 - disorganized, dispirited
