How much news is currently/actively being suppressed?

I wouldn’t leak it but I would ask for premiere screening tix in exchange for my silence 🤫

Back when my kiddo was looking for colleges in ‘07-‘08 McGill was actually high on her list…

Every day I think “it’s not possible for this regime to get dumber…” and then they say shit like this that will totally get civilians killed…

I keep seeing people ask about the 25th Amendment.

Guys. His entire Cabinet is walking around in shoes that don’t fit because they’re scared to take them off.

The 25th is never happening.

The president is handing out oversized clown shoes to his cabinet — and watching to see who refuses to wear them.

It's Solzhenitsyn's Stalin story come to life: the first person to stop applauding ended up in the gulag. The lesson then, as now — never be the first to stop clapping.

Look at those handsome fellas!

Republicans often say we “can’t afford” Social Security.

Their solution?

Cut benefits for working people who’ve paid into the program for our entire working lives.

They never suggest that the wealthiest people in America should pay into Social Security all year long, just like the rest of us.

At every USL game this weekend, USL players paused play for 60 seconds in a powerful show of solidarity.

They’re united and ready to fight for the fair contract they deserve.

As the players stand still, America’s unions stand with them.

The SAVE Act is a major attack on voting rights. It is not a genuine voter ID reform, but rather an attempt to suppress turnout in future elections.

I do need the American people to stop viewing Trumpism as blunderous policy failure.

It is a full court press to subjugate you into poverty and despair. There is no witticism or gotchya or logical superiority that can combat that.

I would give a kidney for 7 straight migraine free/pain free days… an entire fucking organ from my body for a small respite… but sure let’s argue that it’s not a disability and doesn’t require pain management… #migrainesky #migraine #painmanagement

After grandkid sleepover I may reward myself with a reheat of HR after my nap while the hubs is at the theater.

This actually doesn’t surprise me. I noticed when I started my first CGRP meds the food noise in my head shut off and it started some slow weight loss. About 30# in 5yrs.

Just stopping by to say that gas has gone up $.70 in less than a week….. 🙃

It’s a sleepover night, we went for Chinese buffet for dinner and the grandkid got to ride in our new car… she also made us pics before we picked her up, she drew some of my favorite things…

For those who have forgotten the past 40 years:

Tax cuts for the rich
...don’t trickle down

Boosting military spending
...doesn’t bring peace

Slashing regulations
...doesn’t create jobs

Folks, we’ve seen this all before.

Look at her fancy scarf, she’s ready for her closeup!

I need to start a running doc for my weird ideas, because hoo boy… currently it’s jus tasks so I don’t forget…

I am having a migraine and ME/CFS flare… I’m laying in bed, under my blankies, I had my e-reader set up in its fancy gooseneck stand, I have my Bluetooth remote to turn the pages… and now my cat want to come and cock bloc my enjoyment of the new BK Borison book… thanks Lucy 🙄

A companion tie in fake YouTube series about Alex teaching Henry to cook…

I’ll be honest, I always go in to procedures (and new meds/therapies) with ZERO expectation of improvement and every belief it will probably make it worse. It’s been almost 6 months and I’m STILL shocked every day that my gastro surgery(and my cardiac surg the yr before) actually fixed the problem.

The booking person at VMan is trying to get themselves a raise.

Love this! Also saw a pic of those new babies of yours, so adorable, we love a black cat at our house.

The nurse who called her in far her some grief about it, reminding her that the waiting room is a shared space.

Watching videos on your phone full blast in a Drs waiting room violated the Geneva convention… it’s worse because it’s defo straight up AI slop… that’s life when you’re int the younger age bracket at cardiology I guess…
