Respectfully, to hell with the ACA. It was crippled from the jump. We need to have a nationalized health care system that kneecaps the insurance lobby and makes health care portable. Please take an actual stand on this with some progressives.

I'm not going to say that I'm smarter than you, but it seems to me that the things he should be brought to trial for should go to an international court.
I'm also really curious to see how diplomatic immunity weighs in on this situation, since he is still the leader of a foreign country.

That's absolutely fair. I'm just here socially (not creating/influencing) and its a lot across 5 platforms, 6 if you count Discord

I follow his Reels and was pleasantly surprised he popped up over here in the 'Sky. It looks like he hasn't posted here in about 6 months, though.

We also can't stay at the extremes - we will eat our own put there. We need to chase the Far Right out of the playground, then come back to the teeter totter.

Where did I say that Dems were going to save us? They have been letting up down in the name of "finding middle ground" for way too long, and here we are trying to ease tensions with people who are being absolute monsters. You can't balance extremists by being centrists.

"Shaking things up" and being "anti-establishment" is what got this menace into the Oval Office in the first place. How about "serving the people and not the corporations"? That works better for me, a person who votes.

He is soooo precious! (Guessing "he" based on coloring, but please correct me if I'm wrong)

As an Illinoisan, I kind of don't want to give him up. We are surrounded by states that are restricting rights and defining who gets to be an actual person. Pritzger is setting rights in the State constitution to protect them.

We'll research the hell out of how to get .001% improvement out of a machine, but why bother seeing if we can improve the workings of these mobile incubators? They're disposable and self-replicating anyway. /s

Might go lighten my mood with some Shirley Jackson.

Yeah, it's darkly funny, but we might not have so much misinformation if anyone bothered to study medical histories in women. So much research almost exclusively on men's bodies, but women? Nah, we're an enigma, ineffable, toootally unknowable. Why would science even try? /s

Even my little 'burb to the west of Chicago had a big protest on Saturday

So proud of you. And thanks for the reminder to schedule appointments.

You're just starting Gilmore Girls? What a journey! (And yes, but usually only when Rory is there)

I will love you both no matter where you are. I hate that these are choices that anyone has to make.

They'll see it just as clearly as all the self-destructive idiots did this time around.

That's fair.

My brain is having a "you got your schadenfreude in my dystopia"/"you got your dystopia in my schadenfreude" moment, a la Reese's commercials
