Thoughts on children’s flu deaths next year? Will it double? Will anyone care?

Beginning to think I was the only kid that had to go out on May Day and leave small bouquets of flowers at my neighbor’s doors.

Is that stupid person in the room with us right now?

Wake up people, it’s the best day of the year! Independent Bookstore Day! Seattle gets its nerdy groove on www.kuow.org/stories/seat...

Are we tired of winning yet?

I thought we didn’t need a Department of Education 🤔 New proposed law: no one that didn’t need student loans for college should be in charge of collecting or deciding the rules (and consequences) for them

“Millions will die due to preventable and treatable disease.” I don’t know why this is shocking. They’ve never cared about a single person living at or below the poverty line in the US. No problems ignoring preventable death here (black women’s maternal mortality rate anyone?) Who is surprised here?

When the pope refuses to see you AND sends someone to highlight how to be a human being. 🙀

Mass protests planned all over the country this Saturday. At least 500 events, organizers are hoping that millions will again turn out. You can find events near you via @indivisible.org @50501movement.bsky.social @teslatakedown.com

Is this a parody account?

“We are at a moment right now where people are asking themselves why can’t the Democratic Party defend this assault on democracy . . . and I would submit to you that if you can’t draw the line at genocide, you probably can’t draw the line at democracy.” — Ta-Nehisi Coates

An actual opposition party would be all over TV for the next 10 days reminding people of this tariff bullshit, letting people know that Congress has the power to end this, and getting to work on doing just that. Instead all that exists is the Democratic party so none of this will happen.

Purple Rain

White Lotus making lorazepam all jokey is irritating. I take it daily. When I don’t, I think about when cancer is going to kill me. All night, no sleep. Super funny.

Real Genius

God bless booksellers

In this corner of the internet, hope and optimism abounds so here is your weekly round up of good things you may or may not have heard about. A thread/

Deep regrets for that vote. Who is going to step up and primary him? I don’t know why I’m asking, the dems are a lost cause. 🙄

Like I needed something else to keep me up at night.

Macaroni and cheese. I could cry (even if I can’t really chew). Whatever. It’s food. I’m so tired of living off of formula (even if I’m only be able to eat a small amount). Who cares it’s fooooood

I’m so fucking lonely. As someone that hates most people, feels like this shouldn’t happen.

If you vote for this Republican Funding Bill, you are complicit in all that DOGE, President Elon, and Trump does.

I can’t believe the Democratic Party is just going to … do nothing while all this goes on. It’s time to overhaul the party or maybe it’s time for me to leave it

This will also be a familiar refrain as they strip away more civil rights

What’s happening to the US government right now is bad. What comes next is worse.

Secretary of Defense Hegseth says he doesn’t know if Russia invaded Ukraine. This you?

DOGE is inflating its savings claims. DOGE counts fully paid contracts as “savings.” Elon Musk’s U.S. DOGE Service says it has saved $55 billion by cutting jobs, canceling contracts, and renegotiating leases. But a closer look suggests that number is misleading.

Is SNL having some sort of anniversary? It’s very hard to tell
