Just got a text from my mom about my dad's insulin prescriptions. The prescription company called to inform them that the 90-day supply of Levemir, one of two insulins he takes, went from $95 to $946. Un-fucking-believable.

We all know making friends as adults is hard AF, but when you actually make one and get invited to their wedding it gets put in perspective super quick. Y'all are acquaintances, at best.

I've been seeing "Bibles" trending for a couple hours and just told myself it was about an NFL player. But, nope, of course not. Of course Christians are lining up to get Bibles signed by Trump because reality broke in 2007.

For example a common argument against universal healthcare is that the increased demand can't be met and people will die waiting for service. As if that's not a thing that happens right now.

Another thing I've started noticing is they paint dire pictures as if they're the consequence of doing what's right as if they don't exist now

They do this with EVERYTHING. Doesn't matter the topic, paying student athletes, Reparations, universal Medicare, cutting carbon emissions. It's almost a Gish gallop but I'm sure there's a logical fallacy that describes it better.

Lots of “players should be paid” tweets out there in light of Wade stuff. Ok, how much? Just football & basketball? What about Title IX? They have to file taxes? Can employees still receive scholarships? If not, do they have to pay for education (variance in cost, too?)?

Judge Ellis also gave a sentence of 13 years to former Rep. Jefferson for financial crimes — the longest bribery sentence ever for a member of Congress.

Facebook, Amazon, and Google have vast power over our economy and democracy. They’ve bulldozed competition and tilted the playing field in their favor. Time to break up these companies so they don’t have so much power over everyone else. #BreakUpBigTech @teamwarren/heres-how-we-can-break-up-big-tech-9ad9e0da324c" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">medium.com/@teamwarren/he…

Get with it Texas. They're estimating $90M in tax revenue in NM, using quick maths I'd estimate upwards of $1G (that's G as in Gajillion) in revenue for Texas.

Here is a longer video of Senator Flowers yesterday. Let’s be blunt: she threatened to shoot a fellow state senator if he went to Pine Bluff. This is disgraceful behavior. #arpx #arleg #ARNews #ARSenate
