Time to pin this, especially for everyone calling for a general strike. How about you hold to THIS as part of the training for a general strike. Keep up THIS boycott first. Then, we shall see what happens.
CVS called, they’re looking for my insurance info, I don’t have any. Flu shot, around $100, Covid shot, around $200, shingles shot, around $200. The woman from the pharmacy says she will find coupons to apply, bring it down a little. Saved $200 in cash from one of the recent dog-sits,

“The entire purpose of science is to search for existential truths,” Robert F. Kennedy Jr. told me. “It’s not subjective. It should be objective. I believe science is a place where you can find unity if you can get a conversation going.” www.theatlantic.com/magazine/202...

BBC also confirms this was done on the advice of lawyers. So Trump's threats worked.

First, British Broadcasting Corporation execs resigned after Trump complained about a segment. Now the BBC edited out a line from a historian that was critical of Trump. Where does this end?

Hegseth is a member of an extreme Fundamentalist Christian cult. Even normal Evangelical churches will refuse to host the Boy & Girl Scouts because the orgs follow inclusive practices.
Hegseth canceling the Boy Scouts was so predictable, I'm actually surprised he hadn't already done it before now.

What a cruel, sick joke DOGE was. It took a chainsaw to people’s lives, cut services, killed jobs, and had to lie about how much money it saved. Now it’s over but the harm it caused isn’t.

Fox News couldn't stick to a story regarding grocery prices last week. Were grocery prices higher or lower? Is it a Democratic scam or hoax? Are tariffs increasing prices? Larry Kudlow's numbers don't line up with the USDA. Communist grocery stores are just around the corner.

I think people should realize here that Mark Kelly is a very savvy politician who doesn't really move from where his constituents are and is notoriously careful because he's a democrat from Arizona.
The fact that he's doing this isn't just presidential ambition, it means his voters want it.
