"True individual freedom cannot exist without economic security and independence. People who are hungry and out of a job are the stuff of which dictatorships are made.” —FDR, 1944

Today is #WorldAIDSDay With Lenacapavir or LEN, a new drug WHO recommends to protect people at risk of #HIV instead of taking daily pills, people can now get injections every 6 months. At the time where funding for HIV is limited, this new drug could mean fewer new infections & more lives saved.

In an all honestly - Republicans are stealing Biden’s accomplishments, and Democrats decided to kick Biden to the curb.

That is three times in less than a minute the commentators have mentioned Trevor Lawrence's legs. "Those power legs..." "You have to account for Lawrence's legs..." Guys...this isn't a romance novel.

The Jared commercials are super creepy. One has a guy who looks double the girl’s age, and both have girls who look like teenagers. Are they trying to sell to middle-aged men with side pieces? Leonardo DiCaprio?

I have seen more people with snacks today than I have seen in quite awhile.

Getting toys for the town kids and came across Presidential Candidate Barbie. In the cart!

Driving through a red county, and I passed two places - one home, one business - that have been flying Trump flags since his first term. Both flags gone. Took you guys long enough…but this also gives me a little bit of hope.

America, It's Not You, It's...

After rewatching the Bengals’ game, I really believe Money Mac deserved the MVP trophy.

What a great headline

I never understand who is supposed to buy the products in this terrible new world “the firms” are counting on

This was the one shown when I was in school, but The Muppets' CC is my definitive version. It's also the definitive version for my mom, who taught this book in her classroom for more than 20 years. There's also Patrick Stewart version, but it's not as close to the source as the Muppets' version.

No contract? No coffee! ✊☕ Our members are out supporting Starbucks Workers United in their strike as they fight for a fair contract.

As insulting as the deplorables comment? Deplorables wasnt an insult, it was and is an accurate descriptor for him and his followers. If you haven't figured that out by now, you are part of the problem

I’m going to be THAT Democrat. You can’t “permanently pause” something cuz then it’s not being paused.

Introduce yourself with five concerts you’ve seen— (Not sure I want to admit some of these) Hanson BBMak N’Sync Bonjovi Ed Sheeran Ironically, the Ed Sheeran one I disliked the most.

Mahomes is always limping. What a drama queen.

Love how NBC was like, “Mad at Bad Bunny during our Super Bowl broadcast? Don’t care. We are showcasing Spanish singers in the parade.” LOVE IT.

Nothing says Thanksgiving like a YouTube host who dated a porn star but has no spine and dropped her the moment it was known. Great job, Macy’s and NBC!

Solidarity with @teamsters.bsky.social , who sanctioned our strike nationwide and won't be delivering food, picking up trash, or bringing packages across picket lines! ✊🔥 #NoContractNoCoffee

It will be revealed in 2 weeks.

District courthouse in Baltimore named after Mabel H. Hubbard, state’s first Black female judge

We must not be silenced. Thank you Mark Kelly for continuing to use your voice. It’s an honor to stand with you.

Sir, with all due respect, you just took a vote to condemn socialism. You know what makes healthcare more affordable? Socialism. We do deserve better. We deserve representatives who endorse their party candidates who are willing to fight for us, not those who take cheap shots at those who do.

The good news: the president has pardoned the turkey. The bad news: two hours later the turkey was arrested for running a ponzi scheme and committing acts of gross sexual imposition.

I don’t usually wear pajamas to the airport, but that twit from RW: Boston is making it feel like anti-facist resistance

The Olaf robot looks great, but the uncanny valley feeling is there.

If you are complaining about leaf blowers, feel blessed. It means you work from home, have a cushy job, and have nothing more pressing to complain about.

If you hosting dinner and charging, you are a restaurant, not family. Guests should bring a dish and offer to help, but if the host can’t host, the host shouldn’t host.

I stand with these veterans.

Trevor looks like he forgot to put sun-in in his hair.

There were so many pass interference penalties not called in the last minute. No doubt, they're getting the Chief referee treatment now.

Workers in all industries have more in common with each other than the executives making millions. Solidarity with everyone who is not crossing the line or buying Starbucks while we’re on a ULP strike! Special thanks to @Teamsters, for not crossing the picket line and standing with us✊

I wanted to write comics, so I studied writing in college. Interned at DC, wrote a few independent comics, got in debt from creating comics, and took a data entry job. Eventually, a role in marketing opened for a copywriter, and here we are.

I’m not saying the Bengals listen to me, but I called the Joe Flacco trade before they got him. Now this? Hire me for the coaching position, guys. I can’t do worse than your current one.

@sbworkersunited.org have launched the biggest open-ended strike in Starbucks history, fighting for fair wages and against unfair labor practices. We all need to stand in solidarity with striking workers. DON'T BUY STARBUCKS FOR THE DURATION OF THE STRIKE. #NoContractNoCoffee

As someone who hated Gmail’s filtering and turned it off years ago - I’m good.

This article helped me. As a reminder, you’ll need to turn the features off for every Gmail address. www.huffpost.com/entry/opt-ou...

Just a reminder, “Epstein” is the name of the sex trafficker. The president is called “Epstein’s monster.”

Burrow should not play Sunday. He’ll have to play Sunday and then Thursday. Bring him back Thursday.

We’re a little late to this, but we just saw MAGA melting down over a post claiming Mamdani is teaching “Arabic numerals” in public schools. We had to laugh do they not realize those are the numbers we use every single day? You really can’t make this stuff up.

Dear Mr. Sorkin, We knew you were crazy last year with your insane NYT editorial. (Democrats should nominate Republican for president? What were you smoking that day?) But people wanting basic human rights did not "drive people out of their minds." Sit down. Signed, Any Rational Thinking Adult

The racial profiling occurring right now at the hands of Trump's masked goon squad is absolutely disgusting - and absolutely un-American. Recognize it and resist it. #ResistTrump

By this logic, Democrats need to yell longer about a lot of topics. Apparently, that is all it would take for a Republican to vote for Medicare for All, ACA subsidies, etc.
