In other words when you consider Jimmy Carter and Ta Nehisi Coates and Ms Rachel and Elmo and Kermit the Frog and whoever else to be a raging antisemite you've basically voided antisemitism of any meaning whatsoever— & that's a political choice made out of expedience to stifle criticism of Israel.

UnitedHealth secretly pressured nurses to change patients' records to include DNRs (Do Not Resuscitate) without their consent, so those patients would die instead of being saved with medical interventions that could cost UnitedHealth money. This is murder. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

I say without any irony or sarcasm: yes, thank you, we want parliamentary sabotage. Again, I'm 100% serious. It's one of the few things a minority party can do, and which Republicans themselves did. It's essential.

While Gavin Newsom, governor of a state Trump lost by 20 points, is throwing marginalized communities under the bus to pander for an ill-fated presidential bid, Andy Beshear, governor of a state Trump won by 30 points, is going out of his way to defend marginalized communities as a moral imperative.

This should be 10 bells, above the fold, A-block news. Instead, I expect more time spent with Biden’s prostate, Tapper’s ego & Trump’s Big Box of BS. The fall was already going to be bad for respiratory infections—this is going to make it much worse.

I feel like most people qualify for at least one of the risk categories, since they're fairly broad. For example, I technically qualify as a former smoker even though I haven't had a cigarette in a decade. This hurts people without regular doctors who could previously just go to CVS for the shot.

On the topic of presidential mental acuity, the current president was awake at 1:30am rage tweeting about his former opponents’ crowd sizes and calling Beyoncé, Bono, and Bruce Springsteen ‘unpatriotic entertainers.’ Where is the news cycle about his fitness for office?

Disabled people are not expendable. Disabled people are not lazy. Disabled people are not “choosing” to be sick. Disabled people deserve healthcare, social supports & accommodation. These are not controversial concepts. Ableism & health supremacy tell you otherwise. Fight with us. Fight for us.

If you don't want to be compared to the Gestapo, one neat trick is to not engage in a campaign of terror around the country wherein you kidnap people off the streets to slave dungeons in accommodation of an autocratic fascist and his nationalist movement's desire for racial purity.
