I'm old enough to remember when polio put my friends into iron lungs. We dutifully lined up at school to get vaccinated. We eradicated the disease. We protected the common good and saved lives. What RFK Jr. is doing to public health in America is a disgrace.

The Government™ has made an ad about Palantir, and it's surprsingly honest and informative.

Uber Eats and DoorDash hid tip buttons and set default tips below 10%. As a result, tips for delivery workers fell 79%.  In January, we made these corporations change their apps — and in the past six months, we've put $104 million back in delivery workers' pockets.  This is only the beginning.

A lot of the left is still on Twitter in part to counter Musk’s vileness. This place is awash w/ neolibs, K-hive freaks who mob people they don’t agree with, and strange stuff like your weirdly hostile butting in here. Enjoy brunch in your NPR bubble. The real left takes care of each other.

It seems you don’t know about long Covid or MECFS and the lack of any help for it.

Strangely, I have never run into more hostile responses as on here. Once with mobbing by K-hive freaks and your now your rude response here.  But that’s the back-to-brunch liberal crowd for you. Actual lefties take care of each other.

Clearly, you know nothing about chronic illness.

Tell that to the long Covid and MECFS community there that is trying to crowd-research their way out of bed on their own with the help of virtually no one but each other.

It’s a Fair Question….. “Why is it that it takes 900 years and 5000 impact studies to build high speed rail but a 5 minute city council meeting is all it takes to approve a massive data center?”

 There are many people on there who are in the disability and chronic illness community because it’s hard for them to migrate. And there are plenty of other good folk still sharing information on there as well. You don’t win misinformation wars by deserting the field.

May I share this on Twitter? (OK if not.)

“The DSA will destroy the Democratic Party!” Meanwhile…

This is how to help save life on our planet. Australia now has 40% of housing with solar panels & are supplying 50% of their power usage for free & by next year they estimate all domestic electricity usage will be free. C'mon America you can do it. Stop using life destroying, dirty fossil fuels.

Michigan and National Progressives! Our critical senate primary is in one week. Abdul El-Sayed is being buried by corporate money, but we can make a difference. SHARE and spread the word to put a FIGHTER in the race to take back the Senate. mdavis19881.substack.com/p/michigan-t...

Hopefully, we will get Dr AES, public health, official, and actual public servant (not the usual bought off corporate mouthpiece), in Congress. abdulforsenate.com/about/

It's a little known fact that during WW2 when the UK was fighting the Nazis through Belgium/ France, Jewish/ pro-Israel terrorist groups Lehi and Irgun were attacking British forces. In 1944 they assassinated the British minister of state in the Middle East, Lord Moyne, in Cairo.

And the Democratic establishment are weaponizing it in Michigan.

Many many people in this country cannot recognize Islamophobia because they are swimming so deeply in it on a daily basis and have so internalized it that it isn't actually legible to them as racism. It's why it's so casually deployed in a way that other forms of racism in the country are not.
