Love how colon cancer keeps killing people under 50 and yet insurance doesn't cover colonoscopy without cost-sharing until age 45.
I just paid $1,584 out of pocket for mine thanks to my deductible and copays

BREAKING: The House passed the so-called SAVE America Act which threatens to upend our freedom to vote.
The bill could disenfranchise millions of eligible voters by requiring documents like passports or birth certificates to register to vote and forcing voter roll purges. The Senate must reject it.

my mom died of metastatic colorectal cancer at 59. she died of it because she lost insurance & couldn’t afford colonoscopies or other screening to detect it early. when she was diagnosed, the prognosis was 10 years. she made it 2.
this should never happen to anyone in a supposedly great country.

This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paul—an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.

I want people to understand that "can AI replace (teachers, doctors, etc)?" isn't a question of technological capacity, it is a political and social question. Can the technology do X? If you adapt X a bit, yes Do we want it to? Does the good of doing that outweigh the cost? Real questions.

We did back to back feises in detroit/windsor when I was a kid. It's close!! Looks like they've moved the schedules around these days though so they aren't the same weekend.

We really cannot overemphasize how every normie thinks Trump's flunkies are incompetent twits and the only people who still think the administration is running a secret genius plan are the assholes at like Semafor.
Asked to apologize to rape victims for failing to redact their personal information, the attorney general instead demanded that members of Congress apologize to the president for impeaching him, boasted about the stock market, and declared him the most transparent president in U.S. history.

It's really instructive when you replace "Millennials" with "middle-aged adults" in headlines.
'"Middle-aged adults" are swimming in student debt and may never own homes.'

Gen Zers and millennials are swimming in student debt and may never own homes, but they’re splurging on gut-healthy juices and rotisserie chickens.

Just sign up and run. Be fearless. Use the pulpit. Say the things. Make her sweat and make her speak. The unchallenged centrist rot in the core of the MN DFL is going to assure the perpetuation of all of the right's evil.
Can't believe not one DFL politician is going to just go for it and challenge Klobuchar for governor. We're going to sleepwalk in the middle of this crisis because nobody wants to take on the big dog.
Minnesota is currently under an economic blockade. So @amyklobuchar.com what are you gonna do? How many businesses are we going to lose without a bailout?

Glacier the skunk is chowing down on an apple in her home at the Cincinnati Zoo.
Until 1993, Glacier would have been in Family Mustelidae with weasels & badgers.
But molecular evidence showed that her ancestors diverged 60 MYA, so she gets her own family: Mephitidae which means, roughly, "stinky."

This was almost word for word talked about for several minutes yesterday while completely ignoring the game. We had to hear them fawn over Michael's muscles and how he wouldn't get tired. From all three of these folks.
So obviously it had to come up again today.
