Jon Stewart says it better than I can. It’s pick-a-side time, and it’s pretty obvious which side is for the American people. teapaw.org/NewsJunky2019/status/1…

BREAKING: The gay dating app Grindr says if Florida doesn’t stop passing homophobic and transphobic laws, they’ll reveal every Republican legislator and party official who secretly uses the app.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Grindr has not issued any threats to disclose user data concerning public officials. Although this tweet is satirical, some readers might mistakenly perceive it as factual. apnews.com/article/fact-c…

When the man in the shop asked me if I was going to keep wearing my mask forever I replied by asking him if he was going to keep getting strangely ill forever and I could tell immediately that he did not like my question.

You know how much House Republicans claim to care about stopping fentanyl and border security? Their #MAGABudgetDisaster cuts 2,000 Customs and Border Protection agents and officers. You remember how they screamed about not defunding the police? Their budget cuts funds for 11,000 FBI personnel and cuts support for local law enforcement agencies. Train derailments? They want 11,000 fewer rail safety inspection days. Tell that to East Palestine. Why all of these dangerous cuts? Because the wealthy and big corporations won't keep themselves rich, now will they?

OK, so now even National Institute of Health are saying it directly: 'Taken together, the investigators write, these findings suggest that SARS-CoV-2 infection damages the CD8+ T cell response, an effect akin to that observed in earlier studies showing long-term..

As we saw again this past week, we have socialism for the wealthy and connected, rugged individualism for everyone else. Is it any wonder that so many see the system as rigged against them?

BP’s CEO recently boasted that in '22 his company had its “lowest production cost in 16 years.” As you paid through the nose at the pump, BP raked in $27.7 billion in profits — up from $12.8 billion in '21. Big Oil is getting away with highway robbery.
Total pay for BP's CEO more than doubled to $12 million last year, the energy giant said Friday, as soaring energy costs allowed oil and gas companies to rake in record profits while squeezing households and small businesses. apnews.com/article/bp-ceo-pa…

We are told that we should look with fear and suspicion at those who still insist on wearing masks for in our society there is nothing more suspicious and frightening than a person who cares about others.

In our eagerness to move on we seem to have decided to reclassify the novel virus as a short story virus.

This is why, even now, I’ve never succumbed to hubris regarding the dangers of Covid. We REALLY want it to be “just a cold,” but it’s not a cold. It’s neurological, and it’s stealthier than us. Those who have friends with “long Covid” know it’s no joke: scientificamerican.com/artic…

What did Norfolk Southern do with all the money it saved from cutting its workforce, running longer trains, refusing sick leave, and scrimping on safety? Over the past two decades, it has boosted shareholder payouts by 4,500 percent. Corporate greed, folks.

I'm so angry — House Republicans have introduced legislation to repeal the $35/month cap on insulin that Democrats passed for seniors on Medicare. I need you to retweet and spread the word about this. Every voter needs to know.

Anybody else curious as to the identity of the pipe bomber and how the hell they managed to evade justice this long?
