i know i am late on this but is there more glaring example of the utter lack of agency the right wing is afforded

where is the guest essay taking the right-wing family to task for being such assholes that their own family members snub them

Firing the prosecutor of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell doesn’t make the problem go away. It intensifies awareness of a coverup.

Oh wow, that really puts it into perspective. SO tacky. #TACOPEDO

This part can’t be repeated enough. Does anyone actually think this was a coincidence?

AOC: “It should be our mission right now to make sure that all people have health care!"

A headline from June 26, 2015 titled, "White House turns to rainbow after gay marriage ruling".

Remember what's important, & how fragile it really is. We've only had this for a decade. 10 years. There's been more seasons of Big Bang Theory than there's been federally protected gay marriage. hell, I was a game dev with shipped game exp years before this, even!

Happy Pride from this gay unc.

Finished my 2nd run at BG3 at 141hrs for my first redemption durge. I'm quite pleased with it, even if I missed some long rests lol. My only complaint is the forced order of things at the end so if I write this one up I'll maybe switch some things around in the order of operation but otherwise :}

Love being petty first thing on shift

22-year-old dies after being unable to afford asthma inhaler In our new series “The Cost of Denial,” NBC News’ Anne Thompson reports on the young man who went to refill his asthma inhaler only to find it unaffordable because it was no longer covered by his insu...

His PBM cut off coverage for Advair suddenly & unexpectedly. Mine did the same thing, some yrs back; this year, a new PBM Medicare switched me to denied my Breztri & my provider's appeals.

The risk is a very serious one. And it's an awful way to die.

Yes

Dude what is wrong with me?
I ask as if I hadn't already pondered if there were peeps who RPed with BG3

Your worth is not tied to your health.

Your worth is not tied to your job.

Your worth is not tied to your ability to produce for capitalism.

You’re not lazy, less than or expendable just because you’re disabled.

Everyone will end up disabled eventually. We all need compassion, care & support.

PS if those options fail, this is the type of question that our pharmacists in my inpatient hospital pharmacy have answered for those who call from outside in the community

Calling your pharmacy and speaking with the pharmacist might be the best way to answer this question on a Saturday afternoon. Though your provider might have someone on call that you could also speak with too.

UK woman loses jail term appeal after killing man as he sexually assaulted her Martyna Ogonowska was sentenced in 2018 to 17 years in prison for stabbing Filip Jaskiewicz to death in a car park

This case reads like the very worst of how abused women are treated by the criminal justice system. A sexual assault victim - with past trauma and PTSD - left to rot in jail for 17 years for killing her attacker. Meanwhile, rapists and domestic abusers walk free. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Black and white etching-style triptych showing 8 hours for work on the left, 8 hours for rest in the middle, and 8 hours for “what we will” on the right

Did you know the “weekend” and working only 8 hours per day used to be considered a radical, liberal idea?

139 years ago today, in Bay View, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, 7 workers (including a 13 yo) lost their lives to advance this revolutionary idea.

Guess he needs to stand in the webs....

Do you know how much CEO pay has skyrocketed since 1978?

100%? 500%?

Try 1,085%

Meanwhile, the $7.25/hr fed. minimum wage hasn't budged in 15 years and the tipped min. wage has been $2.13/hr since 1991.

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

The US government has dismantled all covid related tracking & reporting despite people dying and becoming disabled every day… Yet they’re establishing a registry to track autism cases and plan to access people’s private medical data.

Autism doesn’t kill. It’s not contagious. This is eugenics

The US is trying to ban masks, mRNA vaccines, dismantle healthcare and social supports and arranging to keep lists of people with autism (and possibly other disabilities).

This is not how you tackle the chronic illness epidemic. This is how you begin a nationwide eugenics program.

Pope Francis lifted the world as he led the Church with his profound moral voice. As he returns to God, may his call to humility and concern for the least among us continue to resound.

Masks work.
Lockdowns work.
Vaccines work.
Vaccines don’t cause autism.
Ivermectin is for parasite-infested horses.
Pass it on.

Caring about “human rights” only when an issue affects people who look like you, act like you, sound like you, earn like you, have similar health risks as you, doesn’t mean you care about human rights
