Apparently this is too much to ask for in this god forsaken country called the USA: I just want my doctor to prescribe a drug and for insurance to let me have it. I don’t want to go through appeals and denials. Just give me healthcare.

Wile E. Coyote, despaired, takes a bucket of paint and a brush and paints a beautiful two-bedroom house on a mountainside. He paints a beautiful coyote wife in the window, and two adorable coyote kids running around in the yard. He tries to enter this new coyote life, but it is inaccessible to him

in case you were wondering what stage of capitalism we're at, google search is now treating the word "crumble" as a misspelling of the cookie brand crumbl
These are results for crumbl

Some day we'll all regret this & we'll hold hearings & rend garments & pledge "never again" & we'll be just as full of shit as we were last time.

My Trump-supporting cousin-in-law just texted my husband to say he encountered this Mother Jones on social media, read it, realized I wrote it, and told him to tell me I’m doing good work and to keep going. Things are changing, y’all. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

It's just a sports ban. It's just a bathroom ban. It's just a healthcare for kids ban. It's just a military service ban. It's just a federal jobs ban. It's just a university housing ban. It's just a passport & visa ban. It's just one Constitutional right. It's just your status as free citizens.

one of my most steadfast beliefs is that you can let a review talk you into something but you should never let a review talk you out of something. sometimes i’m sure they’re trying to do one or the other but genuinely *un*sure which.

I believe one of the new mRNA vaccines was expected to treat colon cancer, and another had the potential to keep pancreatic cancer from recurring. That’s what they’re taking away.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

It's getting a lot of attn today. But even before today most of the country had very little idea of what has happened at NIH or through it the entire ecosystem of biomedical research in the US. Simply put, Musk, Kennedy & Trump exploded a bomb right in the middle of cancer cure research in the US.

I am extremely lucky to live without any major physical or mental health issues and even my few small brushes with the cruelty of our health care system have been enough to radicalize me against any candidate who doesn't support universal health care

Please look up the influenza epidemic of 1918-19 to understand that the CDC not selecting strains for next year’s vaccines sets the stage for a public health calamity that will, without doubt and at bare minimum, catastrophically and directly impact people you know. This is a five alarm fire.

So there’s lots of CRAZY stuff going on, which makes seemingly CRAZY reports seem more plausible. It would be great if we all still take a breath and double-check to make sure things are real, so everyone can focus on the real stuff. I will now go and immediately not follow my own suggestion.

honestly this would be one of the better case scenarios (the best case would be a solar flare that destroys every social media data center and also electrocutes the executives of each company to death)

DHS has terminated the memberships of everyone on its advisory committees. This includes several cyber committees, like CISA's advisory panel and the Cyber Safety Review Board, which was investigating Salt Typhoon. That review is "dead," person familiar says. www.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

once again thinking about this passage from David Lynch's book Catching the Big Fish
excerpt reads: "I hear stories about directors who scream at actors, or they trick them somehow to get a performance. And there are some people who try to run the whole business on fear. But I think this is such a joke -- it's pathetic and stupid at the same time. 
     When people are in fear, they don't want to go to work. So many people today have that feeling. Then the fear starts turning into hate, and they begin to hate going to work. Then the hate can turn into anger and people can become angry at their boss and their work.
     If I ran my set with fear, I would get 1 percent, not 100 percent, of what I get. And there would be no fun in going down the road together. And it *should* be fun. In work and in life, we're all supposed to get along. We're supposed to have so much fun, like puppy dogs with our tails wagging. It's supposed to be great living; it's supposed to be fantastic."

It's trite, but "be the change you want to see" is true Shut the fuck up about Twitter already, move on, and just share things you find interesting and/or important and interact with cool people The latter is the real secret, if you're not cool I'm not giving you any of my time, fuck off
