Inspirational.

Back when there was a Republican Party

Scientists and researchers created vaccines to small pox, to polio, to Covid.

This just dropped on Friday. We are thiiiiiis close to an AIDS vaccine and these motherfuckers (excuse my language; I’m pissed) pull the plug.

This is an amoral administration with no empathy or compassion.

Why is there no call to claw back federal tax cuts at the state level?

Or, like, reading back journals to make new discoveries. Occasionally there are interesting juxtapositions that can be made, but everything in the training set is, by definition, already known.

“Even God Cannot Hear Us Here”: What I Witnessed Inside an ICE Women’s Prison Tufts University doctoral student Rümeysa Öztürk opens up about her 45 days in a South Louisiana processing facility—and the generous and compassionate women she met.

Stop what you're doing and read this extraordinary essay by Rümeysa Öztürk: "I am free, but my true freedom is interlinked with the freedom of many women I lived alongside in ICE prison."

Emily's family has been hit hard by Trump-era policy.

Truly.

Bear witness.

Stephen Colbert has the opportunity to do the funniest thing

Or he has a jury of 300 million plus…

It doesn't matter why he's worried about the Epstein files. You don't need to know why. It only matters that he's shown us it is an open wound, and it is our job only to shove a rotten 2x4 into it.

They really are intentionally trying to halt cancer research. I don’t think this is what people thought they were voting for.

I edited together all the social interactions from the Cuomo campaign relaunch video and it became a short film about clinical depression

Which of course makes it more likely 🙄.

We should all be very clear, having health care tied to your ability to work is a form of eugenics.

each year on this day i find company in this poem

“No Explosions”
by Naomi Shihab Nye

To enjoy
fireworks
you would have
to have lived
a different kind
of life

And don’t forget the Christian Scientists who believe that illness and death are a failure of religious devotion and if you pray hard enough for a correct way of thinking, you will be well. It is in the air.

And not even just current recipients. I’ve signed up for paperless statements from them and am quite a few years from retirement. I also received one.

The Republican Party must be defeated, destroyed, and discarded in the dustheap of history if the American experiment is to survive.
