People are acting differently now. They are not the same. COVID-19 affects the human brain... Researchers found widespread structural and functional changes in areas responsible for memory, emotion, and attention... #Covid2026 😷 www.psypost.org/brain-scans-...

Just donated to the campaign of this congressional candidate who was knocked unconscious and raped while repairing lawn signs. This country hates women. The least we can do is help each other.
You can channel your rage by donating to Bernadette’s campaign here. I hope she wins this ruby red district by a landslide. 🤬 bgp4az.com
More hard-hitting local investigative journalism from the Rochester Democrat & Chronicle. Thank goodness! They haven't reported on TJ tote bags since August! (thank you, @usatoday.com network for leaving my local paper a dried-out, empty husk) #ROC

@morelle.house.gov @schumer.senate.gov @kirstengillibrand.bsky.social What are you doing to protect Haitians in our communities from this hateful, mindless cruelty? We cannot stand by while Haitians are sent to their deaths.
We are a broken nation. Hundreds of thousands of Haitians were living and working legally, paying taxes, and contributing. Haiti remains wholly unsafe. But Trump hates Haitians, and the White House wanted videos of Black people in chains, so they stripped them of status and turned on the cameras.

Dr Fauci risking his own life to treat ebola patients. What have his attackers ever done for anyone? What sacrifices have they made to serve others? www.science.org/content/arti...

I don’t know what kind of ID you need to get pasta at Olive Garden, but for sure they won’t let me eat pasta without paying them money! Buying mediocre pasta is a crappy analogy for exercising my constitutional right to vote.
sure would be nice if a single journalist could respond with "you don't have a constitutional right to eat at olive garden"

Only two days left (June 25 & 26) to get free shipping for anti-Prime days bookshop.org/shop/Watts (Ordering from Bookshop is always a good idea because it benefits independent bookstores)

@wnba.com I’m a League Pass subscriber and the NYL @Conn game isn’t being broadcast anywhere else, but I keep getting a message saying livestream isn’t available. What gives? League pass keeps getting more frustrating.
A thousand time this. I’m sick of media Using the word CLASH to describe ATTACKS by heavily armed ICE & other police in non-violent demonstrators, as if the use of force were equivalent on both sides
Note to media: police arresting peaceful protesters singing “give peace a chance” is not protesters “clashing” with police. It’s the state violating the First Amendment rights of people upset that human beings who did nothing illegal are being held without due process and being fed maggots.
