If you want to give us the Denmark vaccine schedule, you also need to give us the 6+ month parental leave the Danes get, so that new babies can avoid picking up germs at daycare, and you need to give us universal healthcare.

It feels like I've run out of things to say about the Democrats.
When we're almost a full year into this and they're still voting for Trump's nominees, I'm not sure how you can make the case that the party is salvageable.

6 years ago, a federal ban on gender-affirming care for young people was absent from the national Dem agenda, seemed unlikely to almost everyone who isn’t trans. 6 years ago, Marjorie Taylor Greene was a QAnon crank with a crossfit gym. Yesterday her ban passed out of the House with three Dem votes.

Now, they’re adding whooping cough to the list, even as cases of the disease surge, killing at least ten babies over the past two years.

ICE is now robbing people.
Not only is ICE snatching hard working people who are trying to earn a living, they’re taking their money too?
A witness recorded ICE agents taking a cash box from a taco stand in La Puente during an operation where four people were arrested.
