@w7voa The more I think about it, the more I like the idea of Roger Stone going to jail for the rest of his miserable life.
The FDA released a statement after the meeting they are recommending a monovalent (just 1 strain) COVID fall vaccine booster based on the XBB variant lineage of Omicron with a preference for XBB.1.5 ( https://www.fda.gov/vaccines-blood-biologics/updated-covid-19-vaccines-use-united-states-beginning-fall-2023 ).
With flexibility given to vaccine manufacturers it will be interesting to see which formulas are actually available for the fall booster from each company and when. 31/

@georgetakei Let me introduce you to #Republican State Rep Bob Young of NE #Ohio, who is currently defending himself in a defamation suit due to falsely accusing his Democratic opponent in 2022 of domestic abuse. He has since been arrested and is facing actual charges of domestic violence, himself. Yes, every #GOP accusation is always a confession.
Doctors Have a Moral Obligation to Disobey Abortion Bans — Academic medical centers’ lackluster defense of abortion access is moral malpractice. It’s time for civil disobedience.

Read an article today about why Americans think alcohol has health benefits and it's apparently another "well the French are healthy and they do X so it's healthy to do X."
So here's your periodic reminder that France (and Italy, and Sweden, and Japan, and basically every country you've seen in a "this country is so healthy, what's their secret?" headline) has universal health care.
The secret is access to health care. It's always access to health care.

Note about 2 women kissing in #StarTrek #DS9
Steve Oster recollected that a man called the show and complained, "You're ruining my kids by making them watch two women kiss like that." It was a production assistant who took the call. After hearing the man's complaint, the PA asked if the man would've been okay with his kids seeing one woman shoot the other. When the man said he would be okay with that, the PA said, "You should reconsider who's messing up your kids."

@StillIRise1963 I’m 65. Domestic violence was considered a family matter. No one was prosecuted for it, women were told by their various churches to do better and endure.
Rape was impossible to prosecute. There was no Miranda Law. No fault divorce did not exist. My mother had to get written permission from her father to go to college.
Abortion was illegal at every stage. Segregation was the norm. Civil rights did not exist.
They want us to go back to that time.
