Our current health care system is not designed to provide quality care to all people.

It is designed to make huge profits for insurance & drug companies.

In that sense, the system is working very well.

But it is not working for the average American.

We need Medicare for All.

To America’s 2.3 million federal employees:

Don’t accept a buyout.

Neither Musk nor even Trump has the legal authority to make such an offer.

And even if they did, would you trust them to follow through on it?

Sincerely,

Robert Reich
Former U.S.Secretary of Labor

I sincerely don’t know why people aren’t physically stopping those dorks. Move shit. Lock doors. Lose the keys. Everyone switch seats. Turn off all the lights. Switch the signs on the elevator lobby. Make the settings all silly. Use a different language. Wear costumes. Fill rooms with balloons

A party bus but it picks you and your friends up after a long week and just goes coffee shop, bookstore, ice cream parlor, thrift shop, short nap, bakery, a different bookstore, museum, cocktail bar on a loop until you feel better

So the world's richest man spends a fortune backing Trump and is given the go-ahead to...

-Run an "efficiency" agency despite having billions in govt contracts

-Replace civil servants with his own cronies

-Gain access to sensitive Treasury payment systems

See the problem?

Person: "Your hair looks so good."
Me, giving the most honest answer: "Thanks, I washed it." 😂

Cats are such empaths, I swear they just seem to know whenever I'm having a bad day because without missing a beat they’re just like vomit, vomit, tail in coffee, extended screaming, channeling ghosts, channeling ghosts, further screaming…

Reasons to Live Through the Apocalypse Sunrises. People you have still to meet and laugh with. Songs about love, peace, anger, and revolution. Walks in the woods. The smile you exchange with a stranger when you experience beauty accidentally together. Butterflies. Seeing your grandparents again. The moon in all her forms, whether half or full. Dogs. Birthdays and half-birthdays. That feeling of floating in love. Watching birds eat from bird feeders. The waves of happiness that follow the end of sadness. Brown eyes. Watching a boat cross an empty sea. Sunsets. Dipping your feet in the river. Balconies. Cake. The wind in your face when you roll the car window down on an open highway. Falling asleep to the sound of a steady heartbeat. Warm cups of tea on cold days. Hugs. Night skies. Art museums. Books filled with everything you do not yet know. Long conversations. Long-lost friends. Poetry.

I wrote this on one of the darkest days of my life. It gave me an anchor to hold onto.
