Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

The VAST majority of Mennonites I know DO vaccinate. DON'T stereotype. Recent Texas measles outbreak is from an isolated, insular group, NOT representative. #measles #Mennonite This is also a result permissive allowance for under-educating people on the basis of "religious freedom!"

Republicans knew RFK was awful. They ushered him in anyway. Be up to date with immunizations (given avian flu and his antics), esp. respiratory, including flu, COVID, Tdap, and, if applicable, pneumonia and RSV. They should be insurance covered (free) or available at a county health dept.

It’s no secret that Chair Powell and I disagree on a lot, but today we agreed: without the CFPB, there is no federal regulator making sure giants banks don't cheat you.

If this is true, this is a GREAT opportunity for people who work at this massive corporation to fuck with the system & bring these things back online & to gum up the works of fascism in other ways & to prevent other kinds of compliance & to troll this agenda Cmon people. Hack on.

President Trump campaigned on lowering costs. But he’s letting billionaire Elon Musk and Project 2025 Architect Russ Vought kill the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. If they succeed, CEOs on Wall Street will once again be free to cheat you out of your savings.

Hell yeah. Hold the line. This is what we need people to do. Slow things down, don’t comply in advance so the courts have time to stop them. It’s starting to work.

BERNIE SANDERS: Vaccines do not cause autism. Do you agree? RFK Jr: As I said, I'm not going into HHS with any preordained-- SANDERS: I asked you a simple question, Bobby RFK Jr: If you show me those studies ... SANDERS: That is a very troubling response

When people ask which Golden Girl I am, I say "Blose" (Blanche + Rose). I tried to make Al make a photo combining them today from a photo of all of them. It didn't work, but made a fun photo. I might want to be long lost shrunken-head-witch Golden Girl now. These GGs will haunt your nightmares.
