Y'all if you think that the reason we don't have universal healthcare is that it costs too much, I don't know what to say to you. We would get better healthcare for less money with universal healthcare. The cost is not the issue. There are many reasons we don't have universal healthcare.

If there are any Democrats who are thinking of running for the presidency on 2028 on anything less than a clear agenda of widespread prosecution for this administration's corruption and fundamental structural changes to ensure it can't happen again, they should just stop right there.

Discworld QOTD, from Feet of Clay
No more kings. Vimes had difficulty in articulating why this should be so, why the concept resonated in his very bones. After all, a good many of the patricians had been as bad as any king. But they were...sort of...bad on equal terms. What set Vimes's teeth on edge was the idea that kings were a different kind of human being. A higher lifeform. Somehow magical.

Catching up on some romance reader discords and somebody is reviewing a book and mentions a scene where the MCs have sex on a printing press installed on a pirate ship. Which I had to immediately read to my rare book librarian spouse. And then he immediately started trying to figure the logistics.

The thing is, it is extremely *easy* to be normal to trans people. It takes zero effort. Being normal is the easy, lazy option. You have to actually expend effort and go out of your way to not be normal to trans people. It actively requires effort.

ICE abducted someone in Roslindale today. Just yanked from their car and disappeared because that's what the Gestapo does. Thankfully people were there and hopefully this person will be identified and located.
Boston City Council ENRIQUE PEPÉN
Councilor - District 5
STATEMENT ON ICE ABDUCTION IN ROZZIE SQUARE
Earlier this morning, in broad daylight, ICE abducted a neighbor right out of their car in front of Family Dollar in Rozzie Square. Community members and business owners took immediate action notifying LUCE, taking photos of the ICE vehicles, and moving the neighbor's car into a safer location. We are working with our local partners to find out more about the individual taken and how to assist in bringing them back home.
To say that this is scary and not right is an understatement. I personally was coming out of Square Root after the incident, unaware of the heinous act that just occurred until business owners alerted me. No one should be scared to do their daily errands regardless of their status - especially in our vibrant community. And no one should be witnessing these grave injustices.
I am grateful for the passerbys that sprung into action after witnessing the traumatic event and for the immediate response of our neighborhood networks seeking assistance. Make no mistake, these abductions do not make anyone safe. Neighbors caring for neighbors do and I will continue to fight to get ICE out of our communities.
