#Trump #DementiaDon #ProudBlue #DemVoice1 Oh, if only Americans had affordable healthcare, maybe they could finally get some top-shelf dementia care for their mumbling commander-in-chief—instead of just watching him wander off stage like a Roomba with a dead battery. But nah billionaire tax breaks

“CDC is over. It was killed. This administration only knows how to break things. They have made America at risk for outbreaks and attacks by nefarious players. People should be scared,” said Dr. Demetre Daskalakis, former director of the CDC’s National Center on Immunization and Respiratory Diseases

“We’ve known for months that he’s been sick, but the words radiation and treatment hit differently. They landed in a place I didn’t expect. Because it feels like more than just one man enduring.
It feels like a reflection of all of us.”

FUCK ICE FOREVER

Lynn Becker @cmgiulini.bsky.social · 1d

After spending 43 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit, evidence hidden by the prosecution reversed his conviction. Rather than finally enjoying freedom, ICE abducted him for deportation

Depraved.

We should ALL be this fired up!
This is the President of the Federal Workers Union & he is calling it like he sees it! The constitution is TOTALLY being ignored! He wants Congress to do their job & he’s 100% right!
Take a listen!👇🏼

Unbearably violent images from Downtown Chicago where a classical music concert was played on the Chicago River. This is too elegant and magical to be seen.
