My wife and I cried tears of relief after we got our first COVID shots. It was a scientific miracle and I’ll never forgive the people who’ve done everything they could to undermine it.
Nobody has an inalienable right to own a cat. If someone has cat allergies they can try shots or other Rx interventions for themselves, not support the breeding of disabled animals. The breeding of Sphynxes is so unethical that it's banned in several countries. www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

Crazy Cat Lady Abroad@crazycatladyabroad.bsky.social · 4d agoI get hairless cats for people with allergies, but I'm still...let's say not exactly convinced it's a solution which is fair to the cat.

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.
#ResistanceRoots Today in history, 1866: Eighteen-year-old Lavinia “Vinnie” Ream receives a federal commission to create a statue of President Lincoln. The commission sparked a political scandal in Washington, but her detailed, sympathetic portrayal won over the public and defused criticism. /1
Cotham conspired with the NCGOP, ran and won as a Democrat in a district that is unwinnable for Republicans (because of their own gerrymandering!), and then flipped giving the GOP a critical vote. That’s fraud! She defrauded everyone who voted for her!

Worst part of the new @status.news report is that the Bari Weiss team appears to get its view of what is actually happening in the world from Twitter. They were asking Vega to include things that *weren't real* b/c they didn't know any better. www.status.news/p/cecilia-ve...

This delightful response to "FBI agents" showing up at a man's door is going around again, and I think it's worth a revisit.

I wrote in my 2021 book REIGN OF TERROR that we had yet to see the final form of the War on Terror. Events this week, from ICE in Maine to Marco Rubio's attempt designate the left as a foreign terrorist organization, have me thinking that we're getting a preview.

This week, Grammy-winning singer SZA, née Solána Imani Rowe, shared that she had received a formal autism diagnosis. It may help more Black women and girls see themselves in a community that often overlooks them. https://bit.ly/4wyEgxP
SZA’s autism diagnosis is a familiar story for many autistic Black women
Black women and girls on the spectrum have long been under-diagnosed and overlooked. A diagnosis arrives late for many of them — or not at all.

The Democratic Party's approval rating is in the toilet, and the main reason is voters see Dem leaders and prominent members acting like things are basically okay instead of fighting like there's an emergency. Slot "my friend Lindsey Graham, so funny, how great to work with him" comments into that.
