This was Puerto Rico's moment, a spotlight on a collective son who quit bagging groceries a decade ago and became the world's most streamed artist on Spotify last year.

Now if only elected members in the Senate and the House (notably the Republicans who have mostly been looking the other way) and all the State Governors would stand up and say: Ok, that's enough, this has gone too far. .....and restricted his powers, and if need be, Section 4 of the 25th Amendment.

ICE murdered Renée Good in broad daylight. Less than 3 weeks later, they killed Alex Pretti, shooting him 10 times. Every day, we watch as people are ripped from their cars, their homes, their lives. We can't allow ourselves to look away from this cruelty. Abolish ICE.

#Spotify definitely agrees! #GetVaccinated

After extensive analysis of the events in Hawkins, (1983–1986), OPH has determined that most of their problems could have been solved with better public health literacy, support for parents, proactive emergency preparedness, and, yes, staying home if you’re coughing up unidentified slimy objects.

WTF??? The CDC has succumbed to political pressure and changed its information on “Vaccines and Autism,” stating that the claim “vaccines do not cause autism” is not evidence-based. 🤨 www.cdc.gov/vaccine-safe... First line says: "vaccines do not cause autism" is not an evidence-based claim

So well-deserved!
