Sunday in Senate Democrats had gained momentum winning state & local elections. Two days later, they caved by voting with Republicans to get rid of healthcare for millions. Now tens of thousands of Americans of all stripes, will die, because that’s what happens when you take away healthcare.

The Breaking Point: Snow is Sliding Off The Long Covid Roof As a kid, probably in 1971, we lived next to a golf course in Ogden, Utah. It had 18 holes, a driving range, but my favorite part was the mini golf course. (1/23)

The More You Get Infected, the More Likely You’ll Get Long COVID People still think long COVID is rare. Like it only happens to anxious people. Or people who “did it wrong.” Like there’s some moral math to this. If you got sick, it’s because you panicked too much. (1/18)

And upside down pyramid. At the top, it says citizens and at the bottom it says leaders.
