Funny that I haven’t really posted anything in months but I’m still irritating enough for people to block me. 😂

Thanks! I realized that when I read further down the comments. I thought I had seen 22 had died, but that was the number injured. Still though, I stand by the rest. 2 dead and 12 critically injured is horrifying. So sad.

Omg I didn’t either! I was wondering how so many people died! Jfc!! They were strapped in, no way to escape. Those poor people!

Are gasoline prices down under Trump?

Earlier in his commends at the White House, President Donald Trump claimed that gasoline prices are down since he took office.

BBC Verify recently looked into this claim.

They found that the average price for "regular" gas - or petrol - currently $3.16, external, according to data by the American Association (AAA). That's actually slightly up from $3.125, external the day Trump entered office.

Trump has also said that gas prices "just hit $1.98 in a lot of states” - a claim he has made several times recently. We cannot find any evidence of these prices.

No state has an average gas price lower than $2.67, according to AAA.

The BBC has asked the White House for more information about these claims.

My relationship with Catholicism is complicated, as well, but I share your thoughts on Pope Francis. He gave me hope that Catholics would follow his lead and be more empathetic with those whose struggles differ from ours. I’m not sure that happened, though. May he rest in eternal peace.

We need more than Jerome Powell to defeat Trump. We need bravery from Congress. It’s natural to fear retaliation, but bravery means feeling fear AND taking necessary action anyway. If many stand up to do the right thing, it becomes much harder for Trump to retaliate. There is safety in numbers.

So many people want a gun for self defense. I get why, but it’s the same argument as giving teachers guns in schools. If we had stricter gun laws, the odds of needing a gun for self defense go way down, no matter if you’re at home, school, or wherever. The more guns, the more fatal shootings.

I never had to figure out which facility would take my 90yo Mom (see 🧵). She ended up in hospice for a week and died in today’s early morning hours. She is reunited with Dad, who died 4/17/24. She has missed him so very much. I imagine her now, smiling and joking like she used to, happy once more.

Of course it is. And the people who swore Trump & Musk had their backs and would “save” this country are those who will end up paying the most. (Unless they’re also the billionaires that will eat the rest of us then spit us out.) It’s all part of the plan and it’s absolutely disgusting.

Thank you. I wish I could care for her at home. You were blessed that your mom was happy and smiling. It seems they’re either sweet or at the opposite end of the spectrum, like my mom. It makes a horrible disease even worse. It’s like I lost my mom 3 years ago. This is no longer my mom. Just so sad.

living. There is no quality of life. How come we can bring our pets to the vet to be humanely euthanized so they no longer have to suffer, but humans are stretched until their bodies simply can take no more? It feels so wrong. But as long as there is money to be made, I don’t see this changing.

know what kind of nursing homes will take on residents who are showing aggression, even if it’s in a hospital setting where they’re even more confused and scared. She wasn’t aggressive prior to being here. It’s breaking my heart. I mean, this is my Mom. I hate seeing her suffer like this. It’s not

aggression, so the better nursing homes won’t take her. I spent the last 4 hours fighting with her to stay in bed. She was yelling at me, calling me a bitch, kicking at me… she’s finally calm again but in a world of her own. She’s having conversations with people who are no longer here. I don’t…

#Alzheimer’s is such a horrible disease. My mom is 90 and has been in the hospital since Monday as her assisted living facility can’t take care of her anymore. Since being here, she has gotten more delirious every day. She has no idea where she is or who I am now and she’s scared, which turns into..

As much as I love me a good omelette, I think it’s time to just stop eating eggs for a while. To ease the shortage, the US is looking to use eggs from Brazil, now used only for pet food, or from broiler chickens where eggs aren’t kept cold enough to be safe. www.reuters.com/business/hea...

US turns to Brazil for eggs and considers other sources during bird flu outbreak
The U.S. has almost doubled imports of Brazilian eggs once used only for pet food and is considering relaxing regulations for eggs laid by chickens raised for meat, as President Donald Trump's administration seeks to bring down sky-high prices spiked by bird flu.

When my Dad was still alive, we were paying $13,000 a month. Now we “only” pay $8,000 and quickly zipping through my parents life savings until my Mom is broke enough to qualify for Medicaid. So if that goes away, we’re screwed. My Mom is 90 and her Alzheimer’s is advancing quickly. What do you do??
