The rise of online vibrant events in early Covid offered a lot of hope for disabled/chronically ill people who have access issues attending IRL events (including going into a flare later). Anti-Zoom reactive sentiment pushed a lot of people into being more isolated again.

The Desire for Terror
And the defense of democracy
A purpose of the war on Iran might well be to provoke a terrorist attack inside the United States, thereby justifying the need to βfederalizeβ elections. We must anticipate it, with sadness and resolution, and not be surprised, if it happens.

This administration is committing Watergate level crimes multiple times per weekβand those are the ones we know about. Itβs crazy to think about what else will come out after.
Itβs absolutely essential these criminals are held responsible for their crimes. We must end elite impunity.

Sen. Murray: "I'm just sickened by this. To go into this war unprepared, to use outdated data, and to have this horrific thing happen where children were killed in a school sends a horrible message to those that are in a war with us and to our own constituents about what America's values are."

Seriously, though, Trump's delusion about what asylum means should have been challenged from the start. It should be challenged every single time he mentions it. The media has failed utterly.

The richest Americans saw their net worth soar 120% from 2017 to 2025.
The top 1% now control $55.8 trillion in assets β more than the G.D.P. of the United States and China combined.
Meanwhile, millions of Americans live paycheck to paycheck.
Still wondering if inequality is out of control?

Has anyone pointed out to ICE agents that if they're arresting people solely to collect a bonus, they're not law enforcement officers. They're bounty hunters.
I look forward to all of them losing their jobs and being blacklisted from serving in law enforcement.
