Haven’t gone to sleep yet so it’s still Hump Day

WTF?? Screw that d-list halftalented, sorry excuse for a human. Him and every other conspiracy theorist about HIV. Too many of us to count are alive because of approval of HIV meds and the great work people like Fauci did to keep us alive. I’ll never again watch anything he’s a part of.

Elon Musk said DOGE made a mistake by cutting USAID’s Ebola prevention but it had been “restored.” That’s not true, current and former officials told me and @johnphudson.bsky.social. “There have been no efforts to ‘turn on’” Ebola prevention, said Nidhi Bouri, who oversaw team until January.

Boycotts are taking hold. Protests are on the rise. Federal courts are hitting back. The Trump-Musk-Vance regime's popularity is plunging and DOGE is losing credibility. In these dark times, it's important to recognize that people are fighting back. Join them.

Good morning on another #MCM

This is how our government has been corrupted:  1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office.  2) Elected officials rewrite the rules in the donors' favor.  3) Donors make a huge profit.  4) Repeat. For the sake of democracy, we must get Big Money out of politics.

Good morning on Semi-Sunday

Good that the Times is tracking his deeds and words like this. www.nytimes.com/interactive/... Next level would be to organize all the known steps in democracy's replacement by authoritarian governance, and report it as news when he reaches them, so that we know where we are— and what remains.

With a measles outbreak growing in West Texas, and cases popping up across the country, experts say vaccination is your best protection. And it's not just for kids. Some adults may need a booster.

Good morning on another #FCF

We are now finding bird flu in deer mice and house mice in Washington State. H5N1 is advancing along the evolutionary ladder—affecting birds, mammals, and humans. This is not speculation; it’s a timeline.

The Internal Revenue Service is expected to fire about 6,000 workers today in the middle of tax season, a source tells CNN: cnn.it/3X5Ngvi

Crockett: He went from being the dork that was jumping around on stage to allegedly being this amazing genius that's gonna save a country he wasn't born in, and one that maybe he doesn't agree w/the idea of a democratic republic, considering the fact he may have been more on the side of apartheid.

Call to Action: Nationwide General Strike incoming. At least 11 million people are needed to pledge, that's nearly 3.5% of the US population. When the number hits 11 million it's time to strike. Spread widely. Pledge today: generalstrikeus.com #3E #GSUS #USprotests

Happy #HumpDay

I just used the Oath app to donate to the Democrats in the three April 1, 2025 special elections. If Democrats win these House races, it would do a lot to slow down Trump's heinous agenda. app.oath.vote?ref=FMJRITOQ

This was my day. How was yours?

A Delta flight carrying ~80 passengers from Minnesota appears to have crash landed at Toronto Pearson Airport. No casualties reported as of this time. Numerous photos and videos have been released showing passengers safely exiting the plane, which flipped upside down. At least 8 people injured.

Happy #MCM

Can we make Stretching Sunday a thing?

While it’s still #FCF, here ya go

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said a Russian drone struck the destroyed nuclear power plant at Chernobyl near Ukraine’s border with Belarus on Thursday night. Ukraine’s State Emergency Service later said that the radiation background limits remain within normal limits.

Crap. Numbers of HIV cases are going to start back up and again we are in a country that not only doesn’t care but in all honesty wants us all in the LGBTQ community dead. I can’t even find words to fully express how that feels.

Heavy West Coast rain means mudslides threaten fire-ravaged California. Millions of Americans elsewhere get snow, rain, extreme cold and some tornadoes.

No words. But, I’m not surprised. I am a military veteran. I’m a former congressman. I cannot in good conscience follow or support this administration. Anyone voting for her is complicit in the downfall of this country. Tulsi Gabbard is an abomination. apple.news/A01S4jqQSSK-...

On the left is a middle-age man wearing a ball-cap at work, proving he has no idea of what is appropriate. On the right is an old man wearing 3 quarts of liquid foundation, proving he has no idea of what is appropriate. A nation run by incompetent idiots.

Happy Hump Day..

Only five minutes. Five calls to your representatives. You can do something

Tulsi Gabbard’s confirmation vote is in the morning. No ally would be dumb enough to trust us with important intel with Gabbard at the helm. Gabbard doesn’t have the experience to be an intern there, let alone the lead role. Join me in telling your Senator one more time to vote no:

Researchers have found long COVID patients show swelling in the hippocampus, an area of the brain linked to memory problems, poor concentration and delayed responses during conversations. So just like the cold, right? www.mid-day.com/lifestyle/he...

“Even Cowgirls Get the Blues” is my favorite novel of all time. I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve read it. Will have to pull it out again soon. RIP to a counterculture literary legend www.rollingstone.com/culture/cult...
