Medicare for All isn't radical.
What's radical is that we are the only major country not to guarantee health care as a human right. Every other major country figured out years ago how to provide health care to all at a much lower cost.
Please don't tell me we can't do the same.

The administration is removing phone support for Soc Security recipients. Making it more difficult for seniors to get their checks. It’s a back door way to cut SS benefits. Horrific.

In my daughter’s college World Lit class yesterday, the professor asked “What makes us human?”
Without missing a beat, my 🏳️⚧️ daughter said “That depends on if you are a politician or not.”

Judge rules that Black church in DC, which won a $2.8 million default judgment against the Proud Boys, now gains control over the trademark “Proud Boys.” The far-right group is barred from selling any related merchandise or symbols without the consent of the church. Gift link:

So I have Fri. & Sat. off at my new job (work Sun.). I go in later too so my commute time is half what it was because I’m not dealing with millions of other people trying to get to work at the same time. This is good…
BUT now I’m trying to find a new routine. It’s weird, but I love it.

Please share! The GOP plans to deport people BORN in the USA…not just immigrants. It’s un-American.

SHARE WIDELY.
KNOW YOUR RIGHTS.
With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights.
You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one.

Earthjustice is ready for this moment. Over the last four years, we have built our capacity to navigate the new legal landscape. Many of the incoming administration's plans are rehashes of old fights – fights that we have won before.

I’m taking an impromptu gal pal trip to our friends’ 35th wedding anniv. party. It’s been an amazing time!
Sometimes a short trip to spend time with your circle is life-affirming. I built these friendships. I earned this tribe’s love. Distance & Time doesn’t matter. ♥️

It’s Friday night. Turn off the news this weekend. Avoid politics. Have dinner with friends and family. Play board games. Go for a nice walk. Watch a romcom. Eat food that’s bad for you and terribly delicious. Ban nonsense from your weekend. Friendly advice. 💜

Last day! Empty ofc w/last few loose ends to tie up. No job is perfect, but the people here are the BEST. It’s very bittersweet. I’m “excite-r-fied” (to use my hubby’s invented word) about this step up into a new role. I can do this!

So-my final day at the current job is this Thurs., 1/16/25. Gonna miss my friends, but I’ll be in a more “manager” lvl role.
Wrapping up *everything* I do so my friends & coworkers aren’t screwed has been difficult.
It’s hard when you tell work you need so little to stay, but they do nothing.
