I think this is good news?

A judge is negating the negation of an activist who works to negate negative information?

So I have that right?

They used to say “living well is the best revenge.” Now I just say “outliving that m—-f—-er is all that matters”
“Science will win in the end. It always does. And I want to be there to see it”.

As the hits just keep on coming for public health, I wanted to share (with permission) something that my friend @jimalwine.bsky.social, an internationally-recognized virologist, said about what motivates him.

Let’s talk about this:

ACA subsidies enabled me (young-ish boomer) to access insurance away from a job, so I could ramp down (part-time, then early retirement), opening up job opps for next generation

No subsidies? We’re back to a sclerotic labor market, folks keeping jobs just for the insurance

“corporations pay a great deal less in tax than the benefit they get, and the burden they impose on the infrastructure they rely on.”

So true! @pamkeithdc.bsky.social
NOT working for two reasons: 1) the wealthy are not taxed enough, and 2) corporations pay a great deal less in tax than the benefit they get, and the burden they impose on the infrastructure they rely on.

THAT’S why!!

You knew as soon as the first crack appeared, the dam would burst open - here comes the “I never really supported him” crowd - it’s a multi-dimensional prisoners’ dilemma - the first to distance themselves (MTG) have the best chance to get away clean (“they can’t send us all to The Hague, right?”)

“Hitler Middle Age” - spot on @kevinmkruse.bsky.social
For several years, I lived an hour south of Syracuse on a grad school stipend of $11,000 for the entire year.

The Hitler Middle Age here spent twice that in a weekend.
Oh man, the New York Young Republicans implicated in the Nazi groupchat scandal ran up a $23,000 tab eating filet mignon and drinking at a hotel in Syracuse -- a city with one of the highest child poverty rates *in the nation* -- and then refused to pay the bill.

If the supposed “leader of the free world” is limping around like a Bluey piñata after the eighth kid, hiding bruises under pancake makeup, and concealing swollen cankles behind emoluments violations, then we have a right to know what the hell is going on.

How quickly they forget - c’mon #deancain would expect better from you
Dean Cain's biological father, Roger Tanaka, was of Japanese descent. Dean's birth name is Dean George Tanaka.

Dean Cain has elders who were in Japanese internment camps.
He just joined ICE.
What a fucking disgrace.
