This administration is committing Watergate level crimes multiple times per week—and those are the ones we know about. It’s crazy to think about what else will come out after.

It’s absolutely essential these criminals are held responsible for their crimes. We must end elite impunity.

This is how our government has been corrupted:

1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians
2) Elected officials rewrite rules in donors' favor
3) Donors make huge profit
4) Repeat

We must get big money out of politics. It’s the root of all evil in Washington.

Make no mistake: the AI boom, and data center construction it requires, is nothing more than a massive giveaway to Big Tech oligarchs at the expense of our environment and our states’ public resources.

Our leaders should put communities before Big Tech's bottom lines.

I woke to 25 new blocks after I posted a plea for people to vote, so let me be clear.
I don't give a fuck what ideology you claim...
If you are actively discouraging people from voting, telling them it won't matter, and that nothing will ever change...
You are an ally of fascism.
Full Fucking Stop.

This is what having a President of the United States who isn’t working for the United States looks like.

Even if you are 100% convinced that Democracy is already dead and our votes won't count...
PLEASE VOTE ANYWAY!
I'm begging everyone. There is a critical mass of voter turnout that will be too big to fix.
Please vote, no matter how bleak it seems.

Do folks grasp that if conventional weapons run too low for the US that things could move beyond conventional weapons? This conflict needs to end sooner rather than later. Our world depends on it.

Long COVID stemmed from mild cases of COVID-19 in most people, according to a new multicountry study While there are still far more questions than answers about long COVID-19, researchers are beginning to get a clearer picture of the health and economic consequences of the condition.

Just a reminder that -

"We found that a staggering 90% of people living with #LongCOVID initially experienced only mild illness with #COVID-19":

January 2021 was the deadliest month of the pandemic. 3000 Americans died daily, 95,000 in total.

And Prasad was *mocking* people for avoiding COVID.

Shame on anyone who treated him as a good faith actor or serious thinker.

Let’s be honest about his record.

More bad news for humanity. People claim to want to stop global warming but, as with COVID, they don't want to be inconvenienced or have less FUN to accomplish that. Just as we should be demanding clean air, we should be demanding that corporations change their behavior. Less plastic, for starters.

There Is No Iran Endgame That Doesn’t Risk Chaos Even if military success is possible, the shadow of political uncertainty will loom large over Tehran, borderland stability and Gulf security.

If Iran’s leadership is decapitated, what comes next? From regime survival to civil war, the futures now facing Tehran could reshape the Middle East.

Trump has launched a war in the Middle East without our consent, without a plan, without a strategy, and without any clear idea about where it leads or how it ends.

COVID infection in babies is associated with worse illness and a 7 fold higher death rate than RSV infection.
COVID vaccine is recommended for babies 6 months of age and older.
COVID is very bad for small children and babies.
Get them vaccinated.

This is one of many reasons I am so frustrated with democrats for agreeing with the framing on Covid when they *know* better. Their capitulation to “you do you” has done extreme harm, not just to individuals, but to the bonds that hold civilization together.
