Figured I’d hop on here today for the 15th anniversary of the Affordable Care Act.

With everything going on right now, it’s easy to feel like regular folks can’t make a difference – but the ACA is a reminder that change is possible when we fight for progress.

Kelly: When I was flying in combat over Iraq during the first Gulf War, I didn’t expect that there was a 10-year-old kid sitting in South Africa who would one day become the richest guy in the world and call me a traitor for doing my job. Now, he kind of acts like a 12-year-old kid

If you are taking care of a parent, or struggling with the decision to put them in a home, remember you could have had a paid worker come to their house to help take care of them, but Kamala Harris laughed funny, so now their Medicare is about to get frozen.

If this shit ain't breaking you, you were never fixed.

Anyone who has a drop of compassion for anyone other than themselves should be feeling this.

Anyone.

“It’s an insult to the Capitol Police, to the rule of law and to the nation. If I accept a pardon, I’m continuing their propaganda, their gaslighting and all their falsehoods they’re putting out there about Jan. 6.” Good for her!

Jan. 6 Defendant Shuns Trump’s Pardon, Likening ‘Stop the Steal’ to a ‘Cult’

I love this so much!

At the inauguration, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson wore a distinctive collar adorned with cowrie shells, which are believed to offer protection from evil in African traditions.

This choice mirrors the late Justice Ginsburg’s practice of using collars to convey a message.

Hey corporate media,

Thou shalt not spend thousands of hours on one CEO’s shooting and only one hour on a classroom of children.

Wah. My mornings have been so much nicer without him.
Joe Scarborough just blasted his remaining viewers this morning in the most condescending way for criticizing him & Mika for going to Mar-a-Lago to talk to Trump ‘on background’.

The reason the coup attempt in South Korea failed as quickly as it did is because South Koreans immediately rushed to the streets to say “we won’t let you do that” and force the military to decide whether they’d shoot their fellow citizens or not.

Important for us remember over the next 4 years.
