@KayKosmos @IndiraShanti Make no mistake: the American healthcare system isn’t broken. It works EXACTLY as it was designed to work. It saves and makes rich those it was designed to benefit and kills or bankrupts those it was designed to ignore.

I was one of those parents who didn’t understand how important that kind of tipping was. Now 2 of my offspring have worked their butts off at those jobs, and it’s shocking how much money is spent without handing even $10 or 20 to the college kid getting spit upon by toddlers.

If you take your kid to a children’s entertainment venue, where teen and young adult employees make sure they are safely having fun, or if you’re throwing birthday parties at those places, please tip these workers! They are making min wage for work they saved you from doing.

Folks, she was NOT a saint. She was a queen. She had EXTREME privilege. Did she use it for the maximum benefit of others? Do any of us?

I’m tired of people saying “history will judge them very harshly”. We are a nation of laws. Let our laws judge them very harshly. Now.

@ghost_democracy @shossy2 @ResisterSis20 @MichelleObama We all would, but our choice in the next election is probably going to be between Biden and an insurrectionist egomaniac. We have to vote to save democracy. It’s going to take a LONNNG time to fix it, but we have to save it first.

@CuocciMichael @travis_demaria @jonlevyBU Oooh, I’m so incredibly impressed. Not that you need me to be. You’re clearly impressed with yourself more than enough. Stupid me - I didn’t realize that covid avoids people like you, but it makes sense. I don’t have any desire to be near you at all!

Yes, you can wear an N95 and still get COVID, especially with BA.5. But that doesn't mean masks don't work. You can also die in a car crash wearing a seat belt, but that doesn't mean seat belts don't work. Masks reduce the odds of infection. Be probabilistic, not fatalistic.

@ckwars @BuckSexton You mean people who read and understand critical thinking? I’m sure that’s confusing for you.

There’s a mass shooting where a white guy sprays bullets into a crowd, killing 7 people, and is brought into custody with care for his safety. Then there’s the kind of mass shooting where a mass of cops fill a black body with 60+ bullets and handcuff him after he’s dead. #BLM

If foreign terrorists were shooting up our schools, churches, groceries and parades, the GOP would demand we bomb them back to the Stone Age. That it’s home grown terrorists with AR-15s means we get thoughts and prayers and more crap about mental illness and good guys with guns.
