Today, the President of the United States is going to wake up, paint his face a weird orange, steal a bunch of money from US, and Make China Great Again. Same as he does every day.

Stop the @bsky.app bashing. We’re all under a tremendous strain. We’re not perfect. I block when I need to, but ignore most foolishness. Don’t become goaded into leaving a platform that’s doing almost all the right things. To organize for 2026, we need to stay in communication w/each other.

The government is withholding an approved vaccine. This like every other self-inflicted destructive decision needs to be challenged in the courts. They can't deny approved treatment.
